[Verse 1]
Only the powers that be
Spawn serpents like me
Who wade our way through the carnage
And wreckage at sea
Later to find that justice was blind
The tales told to throw us off course
And make us believe that all roads would lead
To the cross, of course, as we bleed from deceit

[Chorus]
Army of martyrs, one by one
Shall sacrifice their flesh and bone
For greater good, it's understood
By the verses, which were carved in stone
Words to live by and die by, too
Sacrilegious pagans: Now that you've
Taken it all, take my last breath
For God is my witness, how I long for death!

[Verse 2]
Evil despots in control of my social decay...
I constantly look for a way out
But there is no way out
My patience wears thin while shedding my skin
In hopes that the new one will last
As long as the day gives me shelter from rain
And from you
Away from you, I move fast

[Chorus]
The billions of diseased, one by one
Shall sacrifice their daily bread
To bring forth the apocalypse
Revenge of the living dead
For crimes committed against the meek
The blood shall spill onto the streets
Of sacrifice until I take my last breath
For God is my witness, how I long for death!

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Army of martyrs, one by one
Shall sacrifice their flesh and bone
For greater good, it's understood
By the verses, which were carved in stone
Words to live by and die by, too
Sacrilegious pagans: Now that you've
Taken it all, take my last breath
For God is my witness, how I long for death!
[Outro]
Rah!
