Die
Gripping the strength of belief
Old tales and lies you trust
In the end there is no relief
A final breath
You're breathing dust
Get up off your praying knees
The door is about to slam shut
Armageddon, drawing near
As darkness engulfs
Your soul
All the prayers in this world
Won't help you now
You deceived, they believed
In your bloodstained cross
You deceived, they believed
In your bloodstained cross
A perverted truth your reality
Forced your beliefs on the weak
Power twisted by years of abuse
The strong shall inherit the meek
Get up off your praying knees
The door is about to slam shut
Armageddon, drawing near
As darkness engulfs
Your soul
All the prayers in this world
Won't help you now
You deceived, they believed
In your bloodstained cross
You deceived, they believed
In your bloodstained cross
You deceived, they believed
In your bloodstained cross
You deceived, they believed
In your bloodstained cross
All the prayers in this world
Won't help you now
Gripping the strength of belief
Old tales and lies you trust
In the end there is no relief
A final breath
You're breathing dust
Get up off your praying knees
The door is about to slam shut
Armageddon, drawing near
As darkness engulfs
Your soul
All the prayers in this world
Won't help you now
You deceived, they believed
In your bloodstained cross
You deceived, they believed
In your bloodstained cross
A perverted truth your reality
Forced your beliefs on the weak
Power twisted by years of abuse
The strong shall inherit the meek
Get up off your praying knees
The door is about to slam shut
Armageddon, drawing near
As darkness engulfs
Your soul
All the prayers in this world
Won't help you now
You deceived, they believed
In your bloodstained cross
You deceived, they believed
In your bloodstained cross
You deceived, they believed
In your bloodstained cross
You deceived, they believed
In your bloodstained cross
All the prayers in this world
Won't help you now
