Abattoir for Flesh and Faith Songtext
von Astrophobos

Marching from beyond the horizon
Beneath a glowing sky, pale as a wraith
Herded by an unseen force into
The final abattoir for flesh and faith

They all will be devoured and transcend
And now, their hollow sermons end

Within a cavernous mouth a cryptic portal lies
It opens up for them, a gulf like nightly skies

Row after row after row after row
Shivering vermin are walking aghast
Into the bellowing pit down below
Into a misery, ageless and vast


Writhing in a void without horizon
Beneath a staring sky, black as coal
Anguish and dread without solace
And grief grows into each eternal soul

The bleakest rapture′s taken them beyond
Into a place their myths did not portend
Where boundless forms of suffering are spawned
In an existence that will have no end

He lets the tortured, twisting beings fill
His blind, ecstatic and perpetual gaze
And without end, within his palace will
Their ageless souls forever be ablaze


As aeons pass, their memories
Of their humanity will pale
They will become his diocese
Who live and suffer to regale
The bleakest rapture's here for them at last
They all will be devoured and transcend
The vile, abundant liars are amassed
And now, their hollow sermons end
