Pious Thralls Of A Dead God

Title: Duh.
Genre: Death Metal
Lyrical Themes: Anti-monotheism, freedom from religion, individualism

I spent a lot of time on this one, and feel that it is probably one of my best videos yet.

I put in some outtakes at the end too.

Lyrics:

Kneeling before the priest at the altar
The chains of faith bind thee
Thy eyes downcast, thou shalt never falter
Shackled to the throne of the nazarene

Within all men's hearts burns a fire
A flame that must be quenched
For fear that it breeds dark desire
All heathens must be lynched

To question thy belief is an act of heresy
Thy heart is pure so long as thy faith is strong
Free thought banished in the name of purity
The word of god shalt forever be law

Or so thou believed...

One night didst thou venture into a dark place
A strange building in a dead industrial zone
Thy blood runs cold and thy veins freeze
As thou creepest up the forbidding metal stairs

The voices grow louder as thou approaches the door
Breath visible in the cold, shivers running up thy spine
An infernal incantation of Lucifierian worship
Terror brings stillness to thee, heart pounds

Abject horror and disgust fills thy soul
As thou gazes upon the ghastly sight
A man in black robes giving praise to the evil one
Yet he is the vicar of thy local church

Thou leaves, bile rising in thy throat
A dark shadow speaks to thee from a corner
"Fool," it laughs. "Now you see the truth?
There is no Satan, nor God. Both are non-existent."

The shadow is a man with a hidden face
He goes on to tell thee that the church
Was playing games with thy mind
Posing as the supposed 'forces of evil'
To deceive thy mind. Evil is a fallacy.
As is good. There are only men.
"Come with me," he says.
"I will lead you to freedom."

Thy faith shattered, thee is only too eager to comply
Before leaving thou takest the symbol of thy saviour from thy chest
And throws it into the shadows of the old building
"God is a lie," thou speaks. "I serve no man. I am an individual."
With that thee and the strange man leave
Secure in the knowledge that men are but men
And that monotheists are but pious thralls of a dead god
