Save us
Lead us
Guide us
Free us

A miracle took place
So it was written
Two centuries ago

In Bethlehem it‘s said
A child was born
Raised from gods lap

He gave us a savior
His own flesh and blood
To save this mode of life

He gave a sacrifice
To remind us
Of his compassion

He gave us words
We should repeat
To be near to him

He gave us sins
We should exercise
For self punishment

Save us
Lead us
Guide us
Free us

Blind and numb
Like a child fed by the breast
Of rotting words and promises

Flee from self-determination
Run into my holy arms

Save us from heresy  
Lead  us into eternity
Guide us under your holy wings
Free us from our earthly sins

A Parabel of contradiction
A reading of apathy
An embrace of bleakness
A gesture of acceptance

And if denied to follow
You’ll be serving the faithless
A treason to your own kind
We shall take what he has given

Burn it down, burn it down

Free all those servants
From the chains of corruption
Shatter their altars to dust
Let the fire cleanse

I baptize you with water for repentance.
But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
His winnowing fork is in his hand and he will clear his trashing floor.
Gathering his weed into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

Burn it down, burn it down
Free this world from this disease
Burn it down burn it down
Drown their adherent in disbelief
Burn it down, burn it down
Free your mind from fear and grief
Burn it down, burn it down
A functional society we retrieve

In the fire of justice it shall burn
Cauterize the gaping wound
Fill it up with free eagerness
From the ashes well start to create

Rotten stench of thousand years
Burn them to dust
Poisonous words that filled our ears
Burn them to dust
Letters that raped our soul and mind
Burn them to dust
The hostage of the humankind
Burn them to dust

Burn it down, burn it down
Free this world from this disease
Burn it down burn it down
Drown their adherent in disbelief
Burn it down, burn it down
Free your mind from fear and grief
Burn it down, burn it down
A functional society we retrieve

No rebirth, no resurrection
Just rotting, decaying

The moment your time has ended
A small hole, end station

No relief and no salvation
Just facing, times changing

Be grateful and be patient
God‘s chasing the waiting

And nothing
Can save you
Your savior
He hates you

And nothing
Oh, good lord
Nothing can save you now
Not even fucking god

You live a mess
You sway and todd
You’ve been mislead
Fuck your god

You die in vain
No holy court
Your death’s a shame
Fuck your god

No rebirth, no resurrection
Just rotting, decaying

The moment your time has ended
A small hole, end station

No relief and no salvation
Just facing, times changing

Be grateful and be patient
God‘s chasing the waiting

Fuck your God

A witch you should not leave alive
A witch is in pact with the devil
A witch laid by the demon's side
For a witch, there is no place in heaven

Rinse their soul in conflagration
Until nothing is left
A burned body can release
The demon that hides inside

Crooked nose, deepest eyes
Are signs of the devil

Freckles, warts and a humped back
Are signs of the devil

Herbs and species, deep in the woods
Are signs of the devil

Hailstorms burn a witch
Bad harvest burn a witch
Inflation burns a witch
Plagues burn a witch

If a man has put a spell upon another man, and it is not yet justified, he upon whom the spell is laid shall go to the holy river; into the holy river shall he plunge. If the holy river overcomes him, and he is drowned, the man who put the spell upon him shall take possession of his house. If the holy river declares him innocent, and he remains unharmed, the man who laid the spell shall be put to death.

Rack them, drown them,
Burn them, make them confess
50.000 died

Combating my evil passions
Break through the symbolic
Rise above my limits
Through this ascetic lesson

Visualize the suffering of Christ
Pain is temporary
Passion stays forever

Execute this painful exercises
Pain is temporary
Passion stays forever

I fall down to my knees
After the matins and the lauds for Mary
Psalm 6 on my lips
Extinguish the candles

The flagellation begins

The Miserere and the Gloria Patri
De profundis and Requiem aeternam
The introit of the Requiem liturgy
Being prayed

The rope clasped between those fingers
I swing it backwards
As the rope hits, it splits the skin
One swing follows the other

I imitate the suffering of Christ
I pray for relief of my sins and salvation
This sacrifice will purify
Will wash me clean from my earthly desires

Combating my evil passions
Break through the symbolic
Rise above my limits
Through this ascetic exercise

Visualize the suffering of Christ
Pain is temporary
Passion stays forever

Execute this painful exercises
Pain is temporary
Passion stays forever

A moment to clarify
Your god is based on a lie
A lie for which you would die

Construct of human minds
Through which they justify
Cruelties and disgusting rites

Make your choice
And it should be wise
It may decide
Which way you’ll die

They claim your free will and life
They devise a reason to fight
They take your human rights

Their hate you can’t survive
They’ll find, you can not hide
Without honor and pride

Make your choice
And it should be wise
It may decide
Which way you’ll die

Celebrate the self-destruct
Destroy in the name of god
Celebrate the self-destruct
Revel in this lie construct

Celebrate the self-destruct
Destroy in the name of god
Celebrate the self-destruct
Until your eyes are shut

Ally with the most contagious plague
Breathing ether into the face of the helpless
Either killing or getting killed
Raping the innocent to death

Self-destruct is a manner of resistance
Self-destruct in the name of god

Celebrate the self-destruct
Destroy in the name of god
Celebrate the self-destruct
Revel in this lie construct

Celebrate the self-destruct
Destroy in the name of god
Celebrate the self-destruct
Until your eyes are shut

They keep grinding the unfortunate
Burning down disbelief and freedom
Executing deniers for pleasure
Crucifying every approval of goodness

I can’t stand
This vainglory
They confess
Their everlasting greed

I can’t stand
This overconfidence
That is grounded
On lethal words

Celebrate the self-destruct
Destroy in the name of god
Celebrate the self-destruct
Revel in this lie construct

Celebrate the self-destruct
Destroy in the name of god
Celebrate the self-destruct
Until your eyes are shut

One thing they never told me
How to reach unending faith
How to come closer to my savior
My day and night my life and death

I try my best following his guidance
But my perception doesn’t fit
Your words were written down by humans
And we all know they tend to fail

My ultimate goal is the ascension
I want to be part of the spirit
Oh god, release me from this hollow
Let me be part of your kingdom

„Draw near to god, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners: and purify your hearts, you double minded“

Thy name echos in my mind
My feet stumble unholy ground
I shall eat the weed on plain fields
Self-punishment will lead me through

Your words were written by your servants
They’re not as holy as you can be
Wrong tongues and fingers misinterpreted
Suicide can not be a sin

“Do not be a fool. Why die before your time“
Who are you to claim god's words?

So it is time to join my lord
Prepared all night for this task
I’ll burn myself till nothing's left
The fastest way to ascend

A big cross does mark the place
Where I’ll carry out my sacrifice
To the cross I will now tie
Standing right on the pyre

A match will enlighten my last steps
Right to the feet of you my lord
I toss it down, I smell the smoke
The fire starts to light up

I feel the heat on my bare feet
The pyre is starting to burn now
The heat gets more and more intense
Sweat is running down my face

The flames begin to devour me
I lift my eyes right to the sky
Here I come for you, my lord
Come and see my sacrifice

The pain is getting unbearable
I scream, I cry, I laugh, I smile
A few more minutes for me to wait
Till I can rise up to the sky
