Ad maiorem dei gloriam
Beati pauperes spiritu
Deus misereatur
A cruce salus
Repeating mindless holy verses
I could not comprehend the lines
Hypnotized, mesmerized
I could not see all the signs
Years of suffocation
Subject to dogmas’ rule
Total control, subordination
Sucking life like a ghoul
Repeating mindless holy verses
I could not read between the lines
But soon those stories turned to curses
and I would start to realize
what would lie
behind those eyes
So I strung ‘em up one by one
Hell may await for what I’ve done
Hell may await for what I’ve done
Yet I regret none
Benumbing, heinous repression
Completely stripped of own will
Now rise away from degradation
Revenge is my new thrill
A hellish intervention
Start to feel the urge
To kill
Never mind the shadows of the passed
As I walk the…
Left hand path
