Why do we let this God do what he wants with them?
His laws are all flawed and only exist to
subjugate humans and force from their throats
the praise that he seeks, or he will begin
Striking at the spirit, shattering the soul
Just as you have feared it, and now you will know
The wrath of a god who scares back all faith
If he won't succeed eternal hell awaits
Heaven is no longer a holy land
It has become a kingdom of sand
Sand from the ashes, the ashes of men
Men who still burn again and again
In the lake of fire where all hopes are lost
Misery begins and the pain will not exhaust
This shall be your life, for one that isn't spent
Falling on your knees, begging in repent
Too many have fallen for God's lies of peace
No longer will I allow them to mindlessly flock
like sheep to the slaughter unaware of
the impending fate which they plan to embrace
Hear me now for you are blinded
False hopes of eternal peace
No more seraphic deception
Look up and see the truth
That tyrant will not aid you
This pain is all His love
You'll die in the name of the Lord
Endless faith and this is your reward
In the dark shadows of infinite spirits
Your will is attacked until you become
increasingly reliant on the promises of God
To save you from death but in truth...
He is soaring ever higher
On wings of faith, that He immorally sought
He will become not only a tyrant
Not only a king, but also an
Almighty God, Enslaver of the Earth
Seizing all control; Fathering the birth
Of a servant world that bends to every whim
A single thought in mind: Only serving him
Striking at the spirit, shattering the soul
Just as you have feared it, and now you will know
The wrath of a god who scares back all faith
If he won't succeed eternal hell awaits

Bring About the End

Sons of Cathedral, descended from the sky
For what reason, do you comply
with the compulsion to kill your own brother
All for the name, the sign of the cross
Following blindly, a king you cannot see
Loyal to the scripture, your God's decree
Endlessly fearing yet innoncent of mind
such is the essence of human kind
Brothers and sisters, born along my side
Heed no warnings while in their pride.
Proud to be sons and daughters of a God
Refusing to believe their Father is flawed
Can they not tell when our Creator is gone?
All that remains is a ruthless khan.
Look into their soul and you will find
illogical beliefs of the angel's mind.
Where is the care and love you once shown
All cast away for the grip on your throne
Forsaken your children, from heaven and earth
So you can sate your greed with slavery's curse
Lost it all you damned fool, but you're too proud to relent
the illusion of power and your sky servants
I weary of the slaughter that you inflict
Prepare for the end and pray it will be quick
To all who speak
with unheard voices
Let our language
of whispers fade
Today we speak with
a bladed fury
Our broken silence
will bring about the end
Forget all your teachings
Every scripture and every lie
Pass down your unbelievers
Its time to take the sky
Fight with your all
then heaven is ours
No regrets! The time is now
Open your eyes and you will see
If we let this God be free
Freedom dies and none shall be
So it's begun, a heaven's rebellion
Never did I foresee this day
Enraged sons turning on their God
While we attack, I smile at the thought
Allies are few though determined
as strong as we are, we need more
So we depart to find the Lance
as we leave, I remind my friends
Forget all your teachings
Every scripture and every lie
Pass down your unbelievers
Its time to take the sky

Lance of Longinus

Abandon your conscience, it deceives
like the creator that we believed
Not parent, nor leader, nor guardian now
no longer held by our holy vows
Fealty and honor? Do these plague your thoughts?
I'll tell you again, forget what you're taught
We descend to lands that house the fires
spires of the flame, circling in fury
Punishing sun lake, for all those who sinned
and here resides, the god ending weapon
Longinus the name, how beautiful its point
death becomes the god, with whom it joins
Leaving this hell, we rejoin the chaos
War in the clouds, blood ridden home
Sisters kill sister, but we cannot mourn
There still remains, a Father to stop
Armies stand before us, we pierce them with regret
Emerging as a victor, tears fall from our eyes
Standing tall, charging forth. hard to continue
as we adjust to killing our friends
A thousand appear, they are no different
We cut through them all, all the same
One of God's angels flies above us all
one that i know, one that I call to
Red rivers flow through my heavenly home
The taint of crimson shrouds the sky's blue
What have I turned my paradise to?
I ignore those thoughts, I still remember
This is the price we pay for our change
To have a new world, free from suffering
So once again, I slay another sister
Oh, how many siblings have I slain?
I conjure up my memories of Him
The friends he has stolen, humans he's hurt
The pain He's inflicted, disasters He's caused
angels he's enslaved, the person he once was
Greed has taken all that was my Father
Compassion and mercy, all long gone
As the sky's child, it is my duty
To end this monster, and bring my true home

Long have I waited
For this chance to arrive
One chance to end
the reign of our lord god
Go forth, my warriors!
Our fateful hour is fast approaching
Endure these final moments
for this discord shall soon be calmed
Words bring little hope
for the soldiers of my cause
Still, they refuse to yield
for they know the result of failure
Seeing how close we are
Our eyes converge on our goal
A figure watching from up high
The beloved liar who will soon die
Push through, my warriors!
The divine tyrant is in our sights
Summon up your spirits now
and cut through all that oppose
The rising of a new era
where we are led by none so heartless
and the world of greed and pain
will be replaced with truth again
Though our numbers are diminished
our will to win is now repaired
fueled by a newfound hope
their souls at rest and again prepared
One last time, we raise our spears
release a cry that quells our fears
moving as one we face the north
see the guards approach and --- ATTACK!
The skies are now strewn with bodies
twelve of theirs for one of mine
Pushing on with the last I have
I make my way until I see
Clear as day, the tyrant king
now unguarded but a far target
Rushing forward, my lance is readied
I start to focus until--
Out of the clouds appears the god serving angel,
Intent on crushing all that I've worked for
She rushes toward me with desperation, just moments behind me.
Still too far, I continue on, craving for more certainty
As I am moving on, I feel the angel's spear pierce
But such wounds matter not when one is about to oust a god
In position and senses primed, I take aim and raise my arm
Thrusting forward, the lance is thrown! With this final moment, I taunt my foe
Too late Serenna! Your beloved lord dies now! God ends here!
That was not meant for you! Serenna.. you.. You..!!
Foolish angel, what have you done?!
We had one chance and now it's all gone
You've curse us all, your brothers and sisters
to a fateless end in the depths of hell
Why did you do this? Is this what you want?
Giving your life for your so called lord
There's no future in the hands of God
Only sorrows in white facades
As the dim light fades from her eyes
I recall our past, our world without lies
knowing too well, my sealed fate
I curse at God and the lands he creates
