Sanctuary Burns - Genus Ordinis Dei

Where there were

Shiny bells to announce

The moment to pray has come

Now there rise

Headless corpses burning

Just like you used to do

Where there was

The source of your divine water

To mix with blood

You deserve

To drown in the holy now turned

In venom falls

Burn their saints, their sons, save some slaves!

We have to suffer for what the prophecy said

Break the altar, there’s gold inside

Redeem yourselves one more time, one last time

Kill the adepts, steal their necklace

Burn the ground this is the best place for us to rise

Where there were

Their ceremonial daggers

We built our armory

Where the priestess

Was screaming the ritual

We have elected our ministry

Burn their saints, their sons, save some slaves!

We have to suffer for what the prophecy said

Break the altar, there’s gold inside

Redeem yourselves one more time, one last time

Kill the adepts, steal their necklace

Burn the ground this is the best place for us to rise

Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil’s pawn

Alone among God’s primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed

Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother’s land

Let him not breed in great numbers

For he will make a desert of his home and yours

He is the harbinger of death

Burn their saints, their sons, save some slaves!

We have to suffer for what the prophecy said

Break the altar, there’s gold inside

Redeem yourselves one more time, one last time

Kill the adepts, steal their necklace

Burn the ground this is the best place for us to rise
