January 1993
Floating in a sea of filth
Twixt prison walls we have built
Torture by technology
Arbeit Macht Tot, never free
Rotting in slumber, lulled by screams
Self mutilation, death in dreams
Divine damnation, charnel creed
A new perversion all we need
CHORUS: Defenders Of The Faith
Blindest Of The Blind
Defenders Of The Faith
Blindest Of The Blind
In supplication to burning skies
Sacrifice to a lord of lies
Romance of bloodshed, glorious din
Behold the sacrament of sin
The clergy gouge their hearts and minds
Prey for their god to send a sign
That heaven will be waiting there
Another world to plunder bare
CHORUS
The churches rise from crumbled streets
The stench of vomit and rotting meat
The pious masses, the mindless horde
Bow to the corpse of their dead lord
That he may rise and live again
Bring to this world its long craved End
Lay it waste with holy might
Culmination of Divine Right
CHORUS
Rats shackled to a sinking ship
Devotion to the holy whip
Oblivious to suicide
Thrown thither by the crimson tide
Wallowing in excrement
Their salvation forever bent
Revelation an empty shell
And heaven but the deepest hell
CHORUS
