Slain Upon His Altar |
| I am lost in the land |
| Of withering shadows |
| Seeking no truth |
| Finding depth in various things |
| Weak in their spirit |
| And shallow are their hearts |
| Fading away like flowers |
| Under the sun |
| And his frailty had to be shared |
| My true belief was to be declared |
| The holy man opened his heart |
| And he let me receive the blessing |
| Of his lord |
| Drink the blood, drink the blood |
| The wine is turned into the blood of Christ |
| No, I choose to spit on his face |
| Forever walk the enlightened ways |
| Died on the cross |
| Where’s your kingdom now? |
| All your knowledge is worthless |
| All your efforts are in vain |
| Sanguinary |
| Blood-thirst in my nature |
| Puppets of Christ in consanguinity |
| But I cut the strings long ago |
| What does he think of now |
| When he lies slain upon his altar |
| Dripping with blood |
| With the cross stabbed through his chest |
| Just like he was stabbed in the back |
| By his blind faith |
| Chalice fall, let the bell toll! |
| Transform wine into blood of God |
| Naked-unsheltered! |
| The spirit outside the Holy Grail |
| Soul tread |
| Now for everyone to see |
| Now facing stone |
| And so is the man on the altar! |
