Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Infected by invalid behavior
While capturing the stench of divine putrefaction
Confess to slavery for the world savior
Give praise and inhale the corruption
[Verse 2]
The enfeebled provides the fool
Disabled provides the tool
The apathetic demands the affection
To those suffering from their own satisfaction
[Verse 3]
Devour in self-deceit
Conjure the righteous plague
Testify today's contradiction
Glorify tomorrow's deed
[Verse 4]
Inconceivable moral priest
Hide in preferable dress
Invite to another pleasure feast
The concealment of joyful laughter
[Verse 5]
The enfeebled provides the fool
Disabled provides the tool
The apathetic demands the affection
To those suffering from their own satisfaction
[Verse 6]
Decrepit innocence, correctness, and the well-chosen
Elicits the source for immediate forgiveness
Submit to no grace but the pitiful of your disease
[Verse 7]
Apply to join the unlimited disgrace
And a settlement in the sky
And turn the confusion among your children
Into self-stimulation
The incarnation of your prostitution
The true evil in disguise
[Verse 8]
With the ignorance
From your cross as the witness
[Verse 9]
The truth of your tragedy make you justice
In the mirror, the high spirit of kindness
Looks like malice
[Verse 10]
Condemnation of life by the living dead
What a premature judgment
Contradiction to the core
How unfortunate I am
Cursed to spend time on the battle already won
The shame that will be guarding your grave says it all
I will retreat to my crypt and make it worthwhile
Recall my sins furthermore
But still be watching yours with a smile
[Verse 11]
Devour in self-deceit
Conjure the righteous plague
Testify today's contradiction
Glorify tomorrow's deed
