What is done in secret
Will be rewarded
Go into your inner room
Shut your door
Pray to your father
Who is unseen
Do not be
Obvious to men
Woe to you
Hypocrites
Beware of false prophets
They come to you
In sheeps clothing
But inwardly they are ravenous wolves
Go into your inner room
Shut your door
Pray to your father
Enter through the narrow gate
The longest prayers
Will be condemned
Cruel man was made
In the image of god

Sodomised And Crucified
03:03

Come closer my obedient flock
Bow your heads, listen to the fairytales
Surrender to the power of the god shepherd
Close your eyes, prepare to be devoured
Priests attire hides a werewolf
Your holy father was a maniac
Put your necks under the fangs
Let your tears mix with blood
A shriek of terror
Broke the silence
Irresistible pain
From the betrayal
Sharp claws ripping through flesh
Clothes fall to the ground revealing body
This agony will haunt you all your life
In the nights gloom no one comes to save you
A shriek of terror
Broke the silence
Irresistible pain
From the betrayal
Sodomised and crucified
Defiled and slain
Everything that you believed in
All the values and precepts
All he most precious in your life
All destroyed by your false prophet

How often do you question
Any long-established truths
Is there any point
In arguing these things
Which were invented long ago
By not the dumbest people
Your choice is blind
Your mind is like a chained dog
Tied to your faith
How to prove to yourself
That your choice is good
Adjust the blindfold, warrior
Don't let the sun blind you
The faith will show the way
Go ahead god is with us
Let the dogmatism lead you
Don't try to resist
Your chaotic leap will destroy you
In this fight you have no chance
Adjust the blindfold, warrior
Don't let the sun blind you
The faith will show the way
Go ahead god is with us
How often do you stab
With a bayonet
How often do you hear
The cries of prayer
This is my blood
Of the new covenant
A thinker is always learning
A believer has already known the truth

Lies of many crimes
Lies of dark magic
Burning up inside
How she burns for real
Gathering a pyre
Marching towards with flames
The sickness in a head
Of a god that burns a witch
Woman
Burning
Innocence
Yearning
They burn
Her
They burn
Her
Ritual
When they burn
Ignorance
When they burn
Flash of fire
When they burn
Ending life
When they burn
Lies
Of crimes
Burning
Inside
Burning
Burning
No lesson learned
As they burn
Ashes fall to the worms
When they burn

Stabbed In The Back

They have the power
To make the world a better place
Eradicate diseases
Eliminate the hunger
And give a hand to beggars
But their god
Doesn't want to serve mankind
Do good for publicity
Don't care about people's problems
Their god is money
Give in order to take again
Feed with one hand
With the other
Stab in the back
So easy to buy off human suffering
Let the misfortunes breed
Each victim is an investment
Let the poor be left to rot
You will always come to save them
Let the misery multiply
Image is the main thing
Stand on the yacht
Make small talk for the poor
Do not hide your cynicism
Satisfy your aggressive instincts
Become a saint for them
Problems shouldn't be solved
Pretend but leave it as it is
Let the good deed distract from the essence
Do your business
Under the guise of righteous man
Give in order to take again
Feed with one hand
With the other
Stab in the back

The Crusade
03:04

With a sword in my hand
With a prayer on the lips
I will rob your lands
With a great purpose
Ave Maria
I will burn your homes
To enrich myself
Deus vult
I will rape your wives
To plant my seeds
Ave Maria
I will slay your children
To cleanse the Earth
Deus vult
With a cross on my chest
With the faith in my heart
I carry the divine fire
To burn down the heretics
End justifies the means
The means define the end
Even the most noble goal
Can be very lucrative
God is my witness
We need their riches more
The almighty favours us
Take what belongs to him
Rob, kill, rape, lie, betray
It is a perfect change
Create heaven on Earth
At the cost of suffering
Cast aside any doubt
God is on our side
Only faith defines
No mercy for outsiders
Illuminate with light
Souls of your loyal servants
Fulfilment of thy will
Fierce death to our enemies
May blessed be our goal
To slay without remorse
Those who reject your power
Their wicked foreign nations
We will enrich our lands
With the faith in our hearts
We yearn to give our lives
With a prayer on the lips

Mortal Heresy
02:43
|
|||
|
Strengthen those who believe!
I will strike
Fear into the hearts
Of those who don't believe
Destroy all heresy
Cut off their heads
Cut off their fingers
Their sins - our virtues
O true mother of the faithful
Oppress the unlike is what we preach
We'll fight to the death for
Monopoly on evil
It's getting louder
The righteous chauvinism
We justify it
Through our supremacy
And their false prophets
Remains degraded
While our priests are
The holy martyrs
Divide this world
Into the saints and scum
What is allowed to us
Mortal sin to them
Turn a blind eye
On our ugliness
O true mother of the faithful
Exterminate the infidels

The Loyal Servants
02:11

|
For the great sacrifice
For the salvation of souls
At the stake of the inquisition
We will kill knowledge
Mind is given to serve
Not for searching and doubt
Our crusade
Will bury the wisdom
And considerable number
Of those who practised magic
Brought their books together
And burned them before all
The father of all heresies
Erases the words of god
Leaving only
Whatever he wants
Key to the universe
Is hidden behind reading
Death penalty
For the curious mind
Only dogma is true
Freedom is imprisonment
Betray forbidden texts
For the faith of knife and fire

Defiled Icons
02:15
|
|||
|
Love god more than thyself
Your name will be forgotten
Forever called a whore
Your life will be slandered
Forever be disgraced
Who was faithful will be betrayed
Who was beloved will be dethroned
By disciple's crowd of imitators
Your legacy will be hunted down
Our world for centuries
Has been ruled by motherfuckers
Unworthy to wash his feet
But they thought they were great
False and cynical doctrine
Blotted out the one
Who was not profitable
Leaving room for hypocrites
Love god more than anyone
Your icons will be defiled
Your love will be cursed
Your children will be murdered
For ever more

Extremely inventive and multifaceted sci-fi prog death, just like iridescent ethereal world on the cover art. Best band's achievement up to date. And easily in 2023 AOTY list

Wow. Just wow. Apart from the fact it's too short and leaves you craving for more, this is pretty much perfect brutal and groovy tech death to my ears. Everything here is phenomenal. The production is exactly how I like it to be (especially with the drums). The vocals are great. The drumming is great. The riffs are great. The songwriting is so mature and efficient. Wow.

Death metal/deathcore hybridization done correct! All the atmospheric passages and samples feel right in place, with great sound. Instrumentation doesn't lack as well, but the vocals could've been a little less upfront. 8.5/10
