Long after the hymns of the faithful vanish
I remain silent
Pondering what it once was that shook me so
How these once holy halls rang with echos of praise

But now I know how it truely was
That day I turned my back on what was "Almighty"
Why does nothing remain?
where are those that used to come here everday?

Perhaps gone to some other interest
Leaving behind all these empty seats
Covered with many years of filth
closed doorways which are no longer welcoming

Where hasheaven gone?
where is God now?
Perhaps its time to hold a gathering
For the Funeral of Religion

I wonder who would come...
And how would it be held?
Perhaps read from these dusty books
Once known as the books of Life

No one left to read from them
The servants now free
Inked out from the book of the lamb
And locked out from heavens gates above

Now that there is no Heaven, no Hell
Where is the after-life?
Is Humanity doomed to fade away into the oblivion?

A pale, dusty cross
Lightened by the stained glass that lost its luster
Who kneels before this now?
this fucking artifact

Blasphemous thoughts leave me now
I must leave this place
And reseal these long shut doors

If only my thoughts were what was
But let me take one last look around
before I shut these fucking doors

My heresy, shall hopefully go silently
...Curious bastards, do you not see this dark halo

Enjoy what the father has lain before you
I know you'll destroy it, just like those before you...

Such a shame its wasted on such scum
Depravity, no holes barred.
Insanity, morality scarred.

A wasted life without a care,
leavings of madness and despair

Sky is black, eternal night
no redemption is in sight
A planet cloaked in ash
nuclear heat, holocaust

My rise is slow, and the skies are black
Truely a beautiful sight...this planet we desecrate
Now, I must leave my heresy, my black halo here
Along with all the filth where it belongs

My thoughts truely not his will
But why must everything be his own
Curse you Lucifer for touching my Halo
which is now stained forever

JOSH
Sky is black, eternal night
no redemption is in sight
A planet cloaked in ash
nuclear heat, holocaust

My rise is slow, and the skies are black
Truely a beautiful sight...this planet we desecrate
Now, I must leave my heresy, my black halo here
Along with all the filth where it belongs
