Scourge of Power

Sham death, counterfeit display

Distract from the Master's majesty

Killed simulacra of a hiding god

Semites enslaved with sympathy

(Pre-chorus)

Mawkish scene for the grubby cult

Weep for the effigy

Yet our tortures drink

Slaked with the blood

Of remote divinity

(Chorus)

Scourge of Power (x3)

Ripping red infliction

(Prelude to crucifixion)

Plunging spear and gouging crown

Agonized and cowered

The thrilling crack, a whipping sound

The scourge has torn and scoured

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

Jehovah has his sheep, Baal has his tools

A paralyzed god, deaf to pious fools

Omniscient crown, and Longinus’ Pride

With Scourge of Power, three relics mine

Churches of gold, Mammon your true king

Veneer of peace, refuge of pederasty

Chained to the cross and the fraud of sin

Should the vessel return, we'll kill it again
