Waste of flesh
Oh, holy priest, the mighty lord
Will give you strength to rape them all
The punishment the last you get
Will cut your face and steal your breath
Vile We Dwell
These morals cut the play
Is it justice you are crying for
Ok, lets rape the holy whore
With gleamy steel I'll wide your holes
For setting free the holy ghost
Vile We Dwell
I wish them hell
To feces they fell
Vile
Waste of flesh
Assassin of the virgin bride
Lets get in contact with my knife
Please come to me you bloody tool
I'll break your neck you broken fool
Vile We Dwell
These morals cut the play
Mass murders I'll await you fine
Preparing for your sacred shrine
Your tan i'll cut your bones I'll clean
To build your new reality
Vile We Dwell
I wish them hell
To feces they fell
Vile We Dwell
Unworthy for the gift of life
Marched on poisoned, fucked up soil
Infects the soul, cursed the goal
These visions now will crush us all
Vile We Dwell
I wish them hell
To feces they fell
No need to tell
