Purity Through Pain Lyrics


Inquisitional decree

Your life now bound to me

In blasphemy contrived - To immolating flames

Thou art purified

Forced unto confession

Canonized obsession

Infidel oppression

Brutalized puritanical suppression

Excruciating medieval technique

Divergent statement which I seek

Archaic devices to torture are employed

Any faith you once held hath now been destroyed

Purity through pain

Corrupted by my lies - Never will you be saved

Purity through pain

Destined to die - Bound in chains

Purity through pain

To be impaled upon the stake

To the pit enslaved

The heretic consumed in pious flame

Flagellation

Sado-masochistic perversion

Spiritual enlightenment

Purified in defilement

Crucifixion

Hung drawn and quartered

To drowning, rack, or gorging tools

This contract shall be taken from you

Immolation

Martyrdom befoulment

To summon spiritual apostasy

Defiler of thou sanctuary

Purity through pain

By thine torturous method - A thousand score slain

In purifying flames

The divine gate - Forever unattained
