Revolution 01:12
18th century France The country suffers a violent period of social and political revolt. The Church is stripped of any authority and land. The King and Queen are executed, crosses are destroyed, and hundreds of priests are murdered by angry mobs. The guillotine is created and serves as a warning to anyone who opposes the new powers that be. A new calendar is also introduced for the sake of dechristianization and tens of thousands of people are murdered by the government and the social movements. At the time some thought of this as a revolution, a new beginning a better execution of freedom with a perfect understanding of tolerance. But history has remembered this time as the reign of terror.

What cause has found all the answers? What cause has made its work the freedom of man? We meant no harm in our intentions save for those who dare to question our path Now all hail reason. Roughly 30,000 muskets. Don't resist us, hand over what is ours There is no mercy for dissent Reject your faith, and light the sky Death to the symbol of your power and authority, O' King (statues fall, temples defiled) All hail reason Don't try to deal with us until the invalids have truly met their fate. (Surrender the armory) The people demand justice, liberty calls to be profane blood covers the roads and still we are far from done Blood covers the roads and still we have yet to quench our damned thirst The barren prison burns in the glory of our indulgence Men, here are your rights! Citizens, declare them! We should be so lost to resort to the chains of religion. The blood of kings water your furrows. The blood of kings will water your gardens. Enough, let them all die! Where is your God? Call upon Him now, that we may all see and taste of His lies. Saved by the blood? Swept by the flood? Open your eyes and shut your mouth before we run you out. Where is your God? Call upon Him now, that we may all see and taste of His sorry lies. Erase the cancer, bow down and dismiss eternity for our sake, the forever loud minority. This is the end of our efforts. This is our godless ambition. To live free without purpose. To preach logic unto the ends of the earth And the king says today was nothing! Where is your God? Call upon the Holy One now.

Dead Lyon 02:48
State your beliefs, destroy your questions forget your doubts No more gods, no more contradictions I am max and I bring you your new lord and savior, a new hope, to bring purity of thought and freedom (blasphemy) For all the ones who stand firm, for those who love the unseen History will be kind to us, for we intend to write it with your blood. Impregnable to faith, freedom at last So one at a time, fall in line and state your beliefs before it's all you have left "I will end you as your jaw hangs off" What will our children say? If we are to rely on those who rely on faith I demand to speak to this Creator face to face, because whose to say I can't break Him? We can't bow to what's not proven Maybe bliss is ignorance. But I refuse to see what good hope brings forth in anyone, so witness the birth of an anarchy, the death of the Christian cause. So state your beliefs, destroy your questions Forget your God. Forget what you know. Give us your support or we burn it all History will be kind to us, cause we intend to write it with your blood. The death of all tenacious believers will be the song of our revolution.

I will do something about your writings, the deaths you caused, and the torment you profited from. You are the unholy enemy of our land and I will use my hands to make sure you promote chaos no more. Fear me, leper. My name is the virgin dagger. And though I know that murder is wrong I hope to take pride that I killed just one demagogue to save the shed of blood but not the wide ignorance of ten thousand folk "Europe is living under an illusion that it is expelling religion. Europe will not be irreligious for long, another religion will take over." -Ravi Zacharias (I am tired of being passive and sick at the state of my nation) I don't live for myself But I live that others may see a beacon of righteousness through vengeance and holiness. The words of man say we are mighty still we are capable of monstrous and horrid things. Truth is we are dead in our sins Too late for penance, I will watch you drown in your own blood. It won't be much longer before your worthless followers begin hunting me down; and I can see death coming I can see it, it's imminent! But I welcome it with open arms because I am willing to die so that your portrait may be cause for scoff and charade. Don't you dare call me friend, go back to hell where you now belong. Don't underestimate me, I am the virgin.

Jaw Breaker 03:29
I think it's clear now who had the great fall attempted suicide ended with hanging jaw. I was loved by my followers, the incorruptible was my entrance song. But I was wrong. Now I'm in prison, craven to face the death I had once strongly supported. But who is counting? The words I said to exalt the death of opponents, have been turned back to me. I think my monster has turned on me. xi.xi.vii 17,000 heads, me and my friends have endorsed to be cut off. Save it, I don't regret it. Here's to the sound of my name through the ages. Fix your eyes on me I am the maker of this onslaught who brought the terror the scholars have taught. Don't take the bullet of Christ or His Way. My plans are obviously best. The rights of men pertain to their salt whatever salt they bring to the council I will see that we all have one accord until the streets have found us shameless. But now my time has come I've run the race for all the atheists To keep our hope anchored in stone To hear satan's kingdom come Who's your protector? Who's your supply? Who can set you free? Who will say, place your yoke upon me? Who can be your banner? Tell me, who can turn the waves of our errors and calm the seas? No one but me, see the irony? Even killing me, they love me and I face the sky. Hear me clearly, pity is treason

"Unfortunately, you may not like what I'm going to say here, I hope I don't offend anybody. The problem with America today is not America it's the church, we have become very shallow as Christians, somewhere we fell into the trap of believing that music is everything forgetting that it's only one thing, and that teaching and ideas are important." -Ravi Zacharias All hail the Creator. Son Of Man. The sovereign eye over the nations. The God who heaven itself can barely even contain. Study the past, and research the aforementioned. God forbid we drink the cup of mongrels History has warned us now bow and be prostrate before Father Spirit and Son Freedom, joy, life and wealth all good things have come from Him the saving power of Christ the King is what we seek through true sacrifice So come and protect us from ourselves, we don't want to fail! Prophesy, that we may hear your call then we can put off our old clothes and change the world Lord would you teach us to be sanctified? To visit the orphan, and keep undefiled? That we may drink Your blood in a worthy manner, for the sake of the One who sits next to the Father Curse our idols now. Kingdom come down. Lest we fight back when we meet the blade that which bring us to holiness If only the preceding was devoid any true meaning, but there is much for us to learn when mankind has banished God I don't seek for this to go far I just want to be obedient to the calling the call to tear down the church walls; the very walls these coward ministers have built up that keep us from speaking into every part of culture. Open your eyes, and shut your mind on the truth of Christ. Awful, beautiful, and mighty to save is the Lord who can take a broken life shattered hearts and sinful minds and say without any regret: "I forgive, so I forget" Before You formed us in the womb you had a purpose and before You take a life you have a purpose and though family, friends, and self will fail we don't look down but up to Your purpose. "Although the bible tells us not that we are able to gain an assurance of our salvation but that we are obligated to get an assurance of salvation; but there's a difference between true assurance and false assurance. a lot of people think that all you have to do to get in the Kingdom of God is to raise your hand at a revival meeting and walk down the aisle or say the sinner's prayer and make a profession of faith. Nobody was ever saved by a profession of faith. We're supposed to make a profession of faith but that profession doesn't get us anywhere, we have to have it. And when I ask the question to a person 'do you love Christ perfectly?' I've only had a couple of people say to me that yeah they did most people say no they don't love Christ perfectly Second question is 'Do you love Him as much as you ought to?' Well, we ought to love Him perfectly If we don't love Him perfectly then we obviously don't love Him as much as we ought to, and if I don't love Christ as much as I know I should, that casts a certain power of doubt over my assurance and that's why I get to the third question that you've already referred to 'Do you love Him at all? Do you have any affection in your heart for Jesus?' Now I have to qualify this, when I say do you have any affection in your heart for Jesus, I mean the biblical Jesus. Are you familiar with biblical portrait of Jesus and do you have a heart that has affection for Him? Now why I ask that question is important, but the only way that any fallen human being ever has genuine religious affection for Christ, is by the regenerating power of God, the Holy Spirit." - R.C. Sproul Behold, resurrection Behold, Christ the Lord and again, all hail the Creator

about

This is a concept album done entirely by one person; all drums, guitars, bass, and vocals was a solo effort. The concept of these songs is to show the error of secularism as it was shown during the 18th century in France. I encourage you to further research the reign of terror's history.

Open your eyes, and shut your mind on the truth of Christ.
