[Verse 1]
Laugh at the tragedies, mock with disrespect
Goats under rule of father time
Leaches pass judgement on their fellow kind
And die when their inner self goes astray
Alas, I pay homage to the ancient ones
Speak my name!
Raise the staff of the morbid priest
Descend into the fires of the true law

[Chorus]
Suffocating evil smoke arise
Cleansing the masses in iniquity
Cauldrons blaze in sanctifying ritual
Vile crematory burns my eyes

[Verse 2]
Mortals filled with despair
They quest to foresee their fate
Caverns below await the wine to flow
Rape the harvest of souls
I watch in awe as the crucifiers march
Killing time, killing all I see
Another moon rise, human waste
Screaming: "Why hath thou forsaken me?"
[Chorus]
Suffocating evil smoke arise
Cleansing the masses in iniquity
Cauldrons blaze in sanctifying ritual
Vile crematory burns my eyes

[Guitar Solo: Trey Azagthoth]

[Bridge]
Whoa
It's the dawn of the crucifiers
Suffocation
It's the dawn of the crucifiers
Suffocation
Oh

[Chorus]
Suffocating evil smoke arise
Cleansing the masses in iniquity
Cauldrons blaze in sanctifying ritual
Vile crematory burns my eyes

[Guitar Solo: Richard Brunelle]
Eah

[Guitar Solo: Trey Azagthoth]
