Fleshgod Apocalypse
Worship and Forget
[Verse 1]
Witnessing a myriad of worms unleashing hell
They swarm inside the carcass of a world
That once was heaven
Killing, starving, violating uncorrupted flesh
They prosper, protected by the blessing of a god of nothing
[Chorus]
Worship and forget your sins
Worship and forget your sins again
Tabula rasa
[Verse 2]
Acquitted by self-fabricated verses they ravage
Expand the boundaries of the land of chaos
In the name of a fraudulent faith
Erecting marble altars to consecrate the shame
And kneel, not penitent at all, tasting redemption
[Chorus]
Worship and forget your sins
Worship and forget to start again
Tabula rasa
Worship and forget your sins
Worship and forget to start again
You motherfucker
[Post-Chorus]
As words can't wash your filthy soul
Your dogma can’t hide evil
Gore on the streets of Babylon
Blessed by an imaginary god
[Verse 3]
Sermons, preachments, the word of the lord
Echoes wide in the temples of the scorn
Gathered in sancta sanctorum to adore
Simulacrums of men who fool the world
Ancient teachings deftly distorted
Chipped away the stone where they were carved
Ten commandments covered in blood
As the natural law is the only one
[Spoken Interlude]
"Illud in his rebus vereor, ne forte rearis
Impia te rationis inire elementa viamque
Indugredi sceleris
Quod contra saepius illa
Religio peperit scelerosa atque impia facta
Tantum religio potuit suadere malorum"
[Verse 4]
Before the eyes of Jesus
Beneath the blood of Christ
Forget
Below the fork of Satan
Above the paradise
Forget
Creations of men
[Chorus]
Worship and forget your sins
Worship and forget to start again
Tabula rasa
Worship and forget your sins
Worship and forget to start again
You motherfucker
