Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know why God has never won
Because I'm the fuckin' smoking gun
It's time to break out of the cage
In a rage
Like a vice I've taken hold
And I'm never gonna let go
Let's get together coincide
Unified
[Chorus]
Centuries of gore
Genocide and war
Born to criticize
Hatred and lies
Violence is the way
Chaos on display
Souls forever sold
Uncontrolled
[Verse 2]
Ignore the world's complacency
It's a bottleneck of idiocy
Unto religion bring the war
Evermore
Instead of unity, divide
Destroy the enemy from inside
Inject the venom in the vein
Feel the pain
[Chorus]
Centuries of gore
Genocide and war
Born to criticize
Hatred and lies
Violence is the way
Chaos on display
Souls forever sold
Uncontrolled
[Chorus]
Victimize
Improvise
Devastation
Crucifixation
To hypnotize
And neutralize
All creation
Crucifixation
[Verse 3]
I know why God has never won
Because I'm the fuckin' smoking gun
Give me a reason to engage
In a rage
My rampage
[Chorus]
Centuries of gore
Genocide and war
Born to criticize
Hatred and lies
Violence is the way
Chaos on display
Souls forever sold
Uncontrolled
[Chorus]
Victimize
Improvise
Devastation
Crucifixation
To hypnotize
And brutalize
All creation
Crucifixation
[Outro]
To hypnotize
And neutralize
All creation
Crucifixation
