lyrics

Ignorant herds
Weeping with false faith, led to their blind ways
Creates a curse
Visited daily, biblical rabies
The crown he wore first
To promise a kingdom, for pious, devout men
Beautiful hearse
Carrys you to earth, lies of a false birth
Altars of rot
There is no heaven, there are no good men
Altars of rot

Putrescent dogma, eating away at any core of spirit that we have left
Lies of a hive mind, lies of the divine, on our kness, daily alms weaken us still
Unspoken martyrs, saints of the ancient, all compare, all contrast, all archetypes
Weakness incarnate, subserviant harness, greed for a story milleniums old

Hanging enigma, blood flowing freely, "his" is the weakness that they extol
Effigy's burning, flesh slowly churning, as they regress into meanlingless clay
Potent and vile, virtues on trial, there is no growth in the rotted one's words
Why do they move towards meaningless rewards, life truly wasted, nothing is gained

Altars of Rot
That lack true meaning
Like a rat caught
In a trap bleeding
Altars of Rot
That lack true meaning
Like a rat caught
In a trap bleeding
