1. Patriarch (4:30)
We tore down the firmament
Foundations crumbling, defiled
Devoured by untold disappointments and lies
Heaven as a construct
Has failed for man
Now remains a refuge, a lost place to hide

As your world succumbs to mine

Consumed by seven, my children bred as parasites
Disowning heaven, my maggots spread and multiplied
Backs turned to saviours, refuge sought in sin and pain
For she is solace as the tainted rain on terra’s plane

Our father, you failed them
Our father, you failed us all
Our father, I redeem them
Our father, I rule all

The insect’s champion, to scorch your name and undermine
Retribution scars burn black as ice into unfettered vein
A bloodline saved to carry on the word of lambs
Run meekly to the slaughter, her blood shall set free all of man
A thread unbroken that thorn-pierced skull could not deny
A line descending from the loins of sun once sanctified
Her passions fleeting, her future shall be as was dusk
As eve once led the fall, so will she be mine

Lead: ‘Deus Vult’ (Lee James Appleton)

Though my sun be unpartisan, assumed by all to gorge his fill
My daughter’s tributaries shall seek to bring “her” ill
And your heart’s remaining light be dimmed, and your failure…
Complete

Our father, you failed them
Our father, you failed us all
Our father, I redeem them
Our father, I rule all

For thee I gave man
From thee I claimed her womb
From thee I’ll take “her”
And sin will conquer all
