lyrics
Oh Satan
Lord of Darkness
Father of all filth
Prince of the Earth
Your hand that casteth the shadow
upon the souls of men
Building up the pride
With teeming eyes
Behold the worship of self
Behold the path to infernal destruction
But I laugh at you
A mutual discernment
You will perish
And don't they know?
Can't they see?
You are their god
You are the one they worship
For anything apart of God is of you
And this you know
Oh blind ones
Let the scriptures be
fulfilled
A turning away must come first
Forsaking the truth of God
Men bury themselves in vain idleness of life
The claim of intellect
the seeds of deceit
and you watch with great joy
softly but surely delivering them
unto the flames
how I wish your time was now
A desire to see you burn in the agony of a thousand years
But I must let the wisdom of God fill my mind
His justice in righteousness
prevails over all sin
What path they will follow
The Father gives them up to the devices
of their own hearts
Some to the Light of heaven
and some to the Darkness of Sheol
But I rejoice in knowing that your Enemy is
just
And no accusation of unfairness could stand against Him
A sad night has come
As I behold the men of the earth
Give themselves up to closed hearts
To eternal darkness
Never to exist again
One life wasted
Another never to be realized
Lord of Darkness
Father of all filth
Prince of the Earth
Your hand that casteth the shadow
upon the souls of men
Building up the pride
With teeming eyes
Behold the worship of self
Behold the path to infernal destruction
But I laugh at you
A mutual discernment
You will perish
And don't they know?
Can't they see?
You are their god
You are the one they worship
For anything apart of God is of you
And this you know
Oh blind ones
Let the scriptures be
fulfilled
A turning away must come first
Forsaking the truth of God
Men bury themselves in vain idleness of life
The claim of intellect
the seeds of deceit
and you watch with great joy
softly but surely delivering them
unto the flames
how I wish your time was now
A desire to see you burn in the agony of a thousand years
But I must let the wisdom of God fill my mind
His justice in righteousness
prevails over all sin
What path they will follow
The Father gives them up to the devices
of their own hearts
Some to the Light of heaven
and some to the Darkness of Sheol
But I rejoice in knowing that your Enemy is
just
And no accusation of unfairness could stand against Him
A sad night has come
As I behold the men of the earth
Give themselves up to closed hearts
To eternal darkness
Never to exist again
One life wasted
Another never to be realized

A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer.

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians!
