Our Tyrant who art in Heaven by ~Black-Sword:iconBlack-Sword:





Blessed be the name
Of the oppressor and creator
Relinquishing the shame
As the sacred perpetrator
Holding back our minds
The sanity
Annihilator

Reaching for the truth
Behind a veil of lies
Mortifying youth
Protagonist disguise
Butchery in his name
Only rational
In his eyes

The eyes of a deity

Countless generations washed away before his stare
Of war and famine and a papal heir

Forbidden to the knowledge
Left to be the slave
The fabled hand of eve took down this masquerade

Reject the divine shepherd
His golden hand waves rot
Submit not your soul to Fathers mindless flock

Limitless in his mercy
Restricted is the blind
To fall before his choice
Evident in narrow minds

A veil of lies is completed in the trinity of the damned
As human unity is swept away by Gods torrential hand
The fallen tower of Babel and outlawed fruits of knowledge
Behind the burning walls of the psyches mental blockage

Our tyrant who art in Heaven
Cursed be thy name

The merciful yet wrathful
Have fear of mans design
We played a diety many times
And sought to take control
Of his throne

A massacre in sacrament
Prejudice Crusades
The sound of our father speaks through clashing Metal blades

Limitless in his mercy
Restricted is the blind
To fall before his choice
Evident in narrow minds

A veil of lies is completed in the trinity of the damned
As human unity is swept away by Gods torrential hand
The fallen tower of Babel and outlawed fruits of knowledge
Behind the burning walls of the psyches mental blockage

Our tyrant who art in Heaven
Cursed be thy name

Our tyrant who art in Heaven
Cursed be thy name

Our Tyrant
In Heaven and Hell

OMG Yes, Finally a new piece up

First off, I'd like to state that I'm not entirely against Christians. In fact, I owe a lot to my past as a Catholic. This is really more a statement against Institutionalized religion and certain aspects of God himself/herself/itself to sometimes seem hypocritical and almost oppressive. The sound of him being my Shepherd is the same as calling me a sheep. Other things like the tower of Babel, the Great floods, and all this really wrathful crap makes his merciful image a bit less credible. But like I said, I have nothing against Christianity as a whole, but rather the tendency of religious zealots to cause a lot of negatiove side-effects to unbelievers like myself

Album - Vampire Rose (Album cover subject to change)
Genre - Black Metal

My favorite lines are:

"Forbidden to the knowledge
Left to be the slave
The fabled hand of eve took down this masquerade

Reject the divine shepherd
His golden hand waves rot
Submit not your soul to Fathers mindless flock"

and

"A massacre in sacrament
Prejudice Crusades
The sound of our father speaks through clashing Metal blades"

I love your style. It is a unique mix of modernism and antiquity
(frickin' goth kids...)

:sunnysideup: :tp: Despite the clique phrase, "Be Yourself," society actually doesn’t care what you are and would prefer that you mask yourself convincingly to keep the peace. --Me, 2/2008

You really liked it? I dunno this one didn't feel like such a good job as opposed to some of my others, but if you say so. I tend to be my own worst Critic, so thank you very much
