Sentinel Hill - Cross Of Disgust

Subjugation, subterfuge
Sublimate
The teeth of your faith will devour you
Satanic mills of divinity, foul tributes
Sharpened to tools of impalement
First the blood, then the flesh
Starving death
Kneel in ritual suffering

We gather lashed to reverence
The wretched brought to plead
The ghosts of our malevolence
Appear or else relieve
Our bones of death, slithering
Foul asps of our decay
Cross of disgust, splinter
Carve this filth away

Frail purchase, righteous ends
Testaments of the despiser
Humble chalice overflows
Hemlock
Caught in the throat of the faithful
Hymn of mercy, martyred plea
Destinies scrawled in the sand
Quickly lost, quicker found
Hallowed
Spires of imminent burial

In hymns of raptured servitude
The lash appears divine
The woundmarks of omnipotence
The many scars sublime
Yet still comes death, withering
How quickly futures pass
Cross of disgust, cinder
In fire, light the path

(Rotating screams)

Who tends the fields of heaven
Who serves the feast
Expiate, expiate
Who mends the robes of god
Who cleans the angels' feet
Expiate, expiate

Live to die
Die to serve
Speak the name
Speak the word
Plunging spear
Seeping bliss
Of disgust
This crucifix
