"By Demons Be Driven" as written by and Vincent Paul/abbott Abbott....
Serving the faith
Abduction the oath
It lie in wait for the offering
Religion is old
For drawing the young
Purity withers and dies
Never return to the ones that provided
Children draining parents of will
I hold out my hand to bloodless child
I'm taken by the one I was saving
From death
By demons be driven
Beckon the call
With decline in mind
End not far
We're left hanging alone here
He pulls us from nails
Shatters our bones
Leaving us crippled and strewn
Boiling my corpse in the blood of his children
Praying for his god to prevail
Burying us with loved ones
To sleep with shelled children of the sixth dimension
By demons be driven
Beckon the call
Abduction the oath
It lie in wait for the offering
Religion is old
For drawing the young
Purity withers and dies
Never return to the ones that provided
Children draining parents of will
I hold out my hand to bloodless child
I'm taken by the one I was saving
From death
By demons be driven
Beckon the call
With decline in mind
End not far
We're left hanging alone here
He pulls us from nails
Shatters our bones
Leaving us crippled and strewn
Boiling my corpse in the blood of his children
Praying for his god to prevail
Burying us with loved ones
To sleep with shelled children of the sixth dimension
By demons be driven
Beckon the call

whilst i don't know phil i get the impression that if he writes lyric like:
'Because of heaven/hell
A fucking wives' tale
They put it in your head
Then put you in your bed
He's watching say your prayers
Cause God is everywher, bullsh*t'
- hostile, the live version;
he might not be a cristian
however the imagerey he uses is; though i don't know of the bible mentioning the 6th dimension- so thats probably just a referance to whatever sect he was raised in- prometh could you elabourate?
however he does seem to b talking about christendoms ideas of hell( i wont take the argument up here but theyre also non biblical) and arguing that unless you break free from organised religion you will go to hell, or more likeley aas in hostile he says hell oesnt exist, your life becomes a hell
dude phil is so not a christian. i just saw superjoint ritual in concert, and at the end he was like "man, i really wanna thank you guys for a being such a fuckin awesome audience. hail satan, fuck the world." and did a nazi salute with the mic in his hand a dropped it.
i laughed my ass off.
