Grand majesty in full control
A perfect plan for us all
A balance kept throughout all time
Burning through every soul divine
Willing souls serve up to you
And the sainted ones will feast
In service to their gilded gods
Whose thrones they seek to reach
Take of the body, take of the blood
These sacraments of your lord
Focus on our flaws and shame
Intimidate, terrorize for gain
Crippled minds to warp and bend
To eternal fire the heretics we'll send
Hark, your hateful angels sing
Of pain, death and suffering
Awaiting signs of your sanctity
Forever pray on broken knees
Fed your bread, served your wine
These sacraments spit out in vain
In the darkened rays of your holy light
Scorching us all as your touch ignites
We pray, we fight, we die
We hold your sacred sigils high
Upon our backs your cross we bear
Upon your heads these halos burn
In the darkened rays of your holy light
Scorching us all as your touch ignites
Oh, sainted ones, oh blessed sons
Cast down in flame when halos burn

Attiva dal 1988, il gruppo è considerato uno dei pionieri del genere, noto per la sua musica brutale e complessa, caratterizzata da riff pesanti, batteria frenetica e testi oscuri che esplorano temi come l'apocalisse, la morte e la decadenza morale. Tra i loro album più importanti figurano *Here in Your Hands* (1993), *Close to a World Below* (1996) e *Kingdoms of Flesh and Fire* (2007).
