Somewhere in the dust of time rests the bones of the Galilean He who was spat upon, He whose face was marred beyond all human likeness. Somewhere buried amongst the lies of the past Rests the tomb of Yeshua, Of he who was made God in a world without hope. & When this son of Joseph is found, What then will the Church of Rome say? Prepare yourselves for the day is coming, & Men will say, "Blessed are the wasted lives who perished in the flames of Holy war."
2.
God is Rome 02:04
Made a God to deceive the weak To follow a ghost from Galilee To kill for Christ in the name of peace And die alone in poverty. Raise the cross so all can see, For you must crawl and follow me, You kneel in shit before my throne For I am God and God is Rome.
3.
White God, One God Black God, My God Dripping red the blood shines bright Gleaming due of burning night Cries of God in anger roar Drowning men in holy war. Rivers flow with coward's piss In silhouettes of scarlet mist Ghostly voices haunt with dread Where gore beslimes each gasping breath.

O death in thee I have found & Found in thee alone The silent bane of emptiness This sorrow 'till now unknown. In the name of God, Allah, Odin And devils one and all, I call upon their faceless forms To resurrect my soul. In death I face my deepest fear Alone I waste away, No God will come this dying day To take me from my grave. To disappear without a trace Like ashes in the rain, All I am and ever was Is 80 grains of sand All I am and ever was Is 80 grains of sand All I am and ever was Is 80 grains of sand. A life is but one second of forever & Death an endless path that leads to the lamenting edge At the well of sorrow. Tears flow like an eternal rain that dwell in a place where no sun can reach. & Here 80 grains of sand rests amongst a desert.

Follow God for a place in Heaven Spill your blood in the Holy grail, Crying tears of rape & torture Frost bound slain, guts for sale. Die for God in the mill of murder Walk with God in the afterlife, Flesh is meat where birds devour At the gates of paradise. Fields of flesh from graves ripped open Only the dead can see an end to war, Sleeting snow where bones lay broken. Tell me what all this was for Tell me what all this was for Tell me what all this was for Die for God, Die what Was it worth dying for? Cry for God when your life was ending Call for God now death is near, Where was God when you were dying Reek of war is master here. Left behind are slaughtered strangers Enemies become your friend This is how the fear takes over When its time to meet the end. Fields of flesh from graves ripped open Only the dead can see an end to war, Sleeting snow where bones lay broken. Tell me what all this was for Tell me what all this was for Tell me what all this was for Die for God, Die what Was it worth dying for?

Slain of Hebron, Desert Titans Sons of Anak rise. Earth born giants, torn asunder Sons of Anak rise. Ishbiben, Ohya, Achor Beelisas, Arba, Lahmi Sons of Anak rise Sons of Anak rise. Og of Bahsan, Great Goliath Sons of Anak rise Horim, Emim, mighty Nephilim Sons of Anak rise. With Midian steel the giants fell All murdered by the Hebrew priests, & They shall not rise, nor live again These sons of Anak deceased. Og of Bahsan, Great Goliath Sons of Anak rise Horim, Emim, mighty Nephilim Sons of Anak rise.

Priest King, I don't want to be a God It's my life, I don't want to be a God Hang me, Kill me, Fuck me, Burn me I was a preacher of peace & A healer of the sick Just look at me now I never wanted this shit, I'm a God on a cross My face is everywhere They say I saved the world But I never even cared. Everything I ever was & Everything I couldn't be Is just another hearsay? In a distant memory. I don't remember being asked To be a white mans Christ I don't remember being asked To make this sacrifice.

Gods of death, sluts of the netherworld Hail Morrigan, hail Thanatos Hail Ahriman, hail Volos Hail Yama, hail Hades Hail Irkalla, hail Seth Gods of death, sluts of the Netherworld. Hail Nergal, hail Morta Hail Wotan, hail Kalma Hail Mors, hail Dagda Hail Asrael, hail Midir. Lapping Tongue of raping fire Consuming hatred of wrathful ire Of hellish throng and nether bane, Whom with thy murder shall remain. Enchanted slaughter hither come & Let thy infernal work be done, 'till all in Heaven be at war Less we be slain and breath no more.

In the event of Armageddon, confess Make your way calmly to the nearest place of worship Your God awaits you If your loved ones are disemboweled, do not panic, God is with you If your men succumb to biological agents, do not panic, God is with you In these last hours there will be great suffering and much spilling of blood Brains will boil and limbs will be scattered in ravishing delight The unspeakable carnage and ceaseless images of decapitated children may seem senseless But remember, God is with you Hell is coming and yet heaven awaits the righteous On gathering at your place of worship, pray to your sovereign lord Salvation is at hand If you have sinned, confess Confess or be cast into the pit of torment until the day of judgement But do not panic, God is with you God is fucking with you [x14] God is fucking you [x11] God is fucking with you [x8]
