lyrics

*The Summoning*
(instrumental)

*Litany of Woes*

Welcome sinner to this place
Your judgment has arrived
They've deemed your faith defective
And our counsel they've prescribed
Forgive my sanctimony if I
Declare your future grave
But I fear your life is surely lost
If you're soul's unfit to save

It seems to me it's heresy
For which you are to blame
Infected with temptation
You've disgraced our sacred name
Our holy creed's in atrophy
Our flock you've led astray
With words of slander. In contempt
You've wracked them with dismay

A heretic! It's clear that you're
Enraptured in your lies
Content ensnaring countless fools
In the evils you've devised
Reflection is the devil's logic
It's knowledge not required
Our holy words and precepts are
What you should have admired

There seems to be no remedy
For which you are accused
It's our "infallibilities"
Through which you're to be used
And ours alone! Die not in vain
Confess your insurrection
Or do despair, your soul prepare
For spiritual dissection

Hear me now you pious thieves
The pilfer value from beliefs
Though golden is the road you pave
It's all the straighter to the grave
Your path is not the only way
You've only led yourselves astray
Apostle I am nevermore
Disciple of my own accord

Farewell sinner leave this place
It's time to meet your maker
Though Mercy pleads with outstretched hand
You still choose to forsake her
We're sorry we've no sympathy
By which you'd be redeemed
We've only agony divine
Of which you've never dreamed

As you can see it's our decree
You'll suffer for your crime
Your expression, unrepentant, though
It shall distort in time
Blasphemy! Catastrophe!
You've forfeit your salvation
Your sins, irreconcilable
Condemned to immolation!
