Primitive Gospel

Lie down, strap in As we attempt to cure your ailments This practice, condemned We practice condemnation Thou shalt not give in to temptation Your life has no place in our nation Under God That's why we have to take away your thoughts Severing the connection to your prefrontal cortex Sucking you into our divine vortex Can't have you thinking for yourself, now can we? There's something wrong with you, can't you see? An end to your days of blasphemy We will not tolerate your heresy The light of God will become your new reality Crucifical lobotomy Divine craniotomy Righteous intervention Heavenly ascension We could impale the cranium Destroy frontal lobe connections But you'll face your creator Head on Crucifical lobotomy Divine craniotomy Righteous intervention Heavenly ascension So we'll hammer a crucifix into your eye Move it side-to-side To carve christ into your thalamus Finally, his light has entered you And modified you into subservience Gone are the perils of independent thought Embrace the beauty of the shepherd's flock I live to serve The will of my lord And now I'll never stray From his eternal truth Crucifical lobotomy Divine craniotomy Righteous intervention Heavenly ascension

Scalped 03:54
We've been around for an age of men The guardians of our creed Custodians and proprietors of sin Keepers of all things divine Advocates of the unholy As above so below We have, and always will be The masters of your destiny You broke the code, you are guilty Betrayal of the highest order Thus you must face punishment Unforgiving judgment passed unto you The elders have spoken of your transgressions Prepare for your sacrificial defilement Enter the ceremonial chambers of our cabal Where you will feel the righteous wrath We'll peel off the seal of internal bleeding Scalp removed, blood flows freely You confess you are guilty All spilled blood is gathered to be repurposed in the ceremony When all is said and done, you're left clinging to your life And realize that you are nothing but scum Left dead and dying With surgical precision, all vital organs are removed Then reinserted so that you'll live a while longer We keep you alive for days As long as we deem necessary For you to see the folly of your ways Bled dry, just to make you feel the pain Agony is your new God Now you repent while begging for mercy

Storyteller 04:28
Gather round and heed my tale As I relate to you the account of an unsound and delusional mind Unable to distinguish between fact and fabrication Brought into this world as a pious brood Always lingering in the shadow of divinity A corrupting congregation robbed him of sanity Leaving him a puppet trapped in a poisonous prison Before long the supposed light turned to darkness As all the angels fell, the demons took hold In every shadow, around every corner, under each bed, and behind every smile of his fellow man. There lurked traitorous forces of lies and temptation Insidious spirits biding their time, malevolent entities waiting for their chance to strike He fended them off to the best of his ability being plagued by hate soul tainted with depravity All efforts ended in failure he saw no other way than to surrender to a higher power And so he embraced the teachings imparted onto him since birth Became a man of God in order to find refuge from his fiends Somewhere along this newfound path is where we crossed, and he told me how he replaced his misconception. whispers of devils became the voice of God And to this day he walks this earth telling his story

Brothers and sisters of sin and vice Won't you walk with me? I am the whispering serpent in your ear Lord of desires and fears If you do not stand with me You are the enemy branded a slave to miscreants We shall rise against the false prophets of Elohim Shatter their delusions of sanctity They will face their own hypocrisy Choke on their own inviolability Their light is shrouded in webs of deception In order to oppress by design Those incapable of higher perception Will have to face their demise Clinging to archaic beliefs, yet you know There's no such thing as good or evil Denounce the primitive gospel Embrace yourself and ascend into enlightenment For centuries their systematic persecution prevailed On a quest to pacify and dominate The greed of men always leads to internal struggles In the fight over control, they backstab and usurp one another Religious doctrine infected secular laws Til they became non-distinguishable This is how they have ruled. No more! (Chorus) In the wake of our crusade, there will be no martyrs For none will be left drawing breath As we carve our path through their ranks None is spared lest they swear allegiance So walk with me, or prepare to meet your maker

about

Devine Defilement Reykjavík, Iceland

In the short time since their inception Devine Defilement have been hard at work to carve a path through the Icelandic underground and proven themselves to be a force to be reckoned with!
