1.	Perpetual Decay 05:49	lyrics	buy track
Falling to the ground and slowly sinking within it then Flesh exposed to all elements, decomposing All which we erect will always fall in the end We cannot escape the mechanics of the master plan Safe in the blanket of dirt and grass, content in the silent forest of death Merging with the flesh of the earth, decomposing All which we erect will always fall in the end We cannot escape the mechanics of the master plan Flesh decays Wiring falters Metal rusts Walls crumble Feeling at home with the post-human existence No longer attached to the preceding species Slipping back into the primordial process As I reconnect to the celestial body, I feed upon my own former flesh I devour and am devoured In a perpetual cycle of impersonal predatorial harmony impersonal predatorial harmony Decay All which we erect will always fall in the end We cannot escape the mechanics of the master plan Flesh decays Wiring falters Metal rusts Walls crumble Flesh decays Wiring falters Metal rusts Walls crumble
2.	God of Violence 04:48	lyrics	buy track
Do not kneel, KILL! For the god of violence Permeating all religions, one entity connects them all His ever reaching arms of destruction Totally envelopes the world Oblivion is the only peace You will find through him Or the annihilation of all others As he sits upon his throne of rot His chalice forever filled with the blood of the slain He drinks our blood, he tastes our folly Oblivion is the only peace You will find through him Or the annihilation of all others Carnivorous lambs of a bloodthirsty god Feeding on each other A world wide orgy of blood and violence Your once green pastures are now stained eternally red Like a ravenous bird of prey He swoops down and feeds Upon the flesh of all Like a ravenous bird of prey He swoops down and feeds Upon the flesh of all Carnivorous lambs of a bloodthirsty god Feeding on each other A world wide orgy of blood and violence Your once green pastures are now stained eternally red Oblivion is the only peace You will find through him Like a ravenous bird of prey He swoops down and feeds Upon the flesh of all Like a ravenous bird of prey He swoops down and feeds Upon the flesh of all
3.	The Bloody Benders 05:27	lyrics	buy track
As the weary traveler shuffles in the store He is met with carnivorous and hungry stares Simply needing supplies He walks in regardless unaware of the danger he is in A curtain stir from behind, a bloody hammer is revealed Not many bodies found, not much evidence left The Bloody Benders faded off into the night and left no trace behind Many fortunes read and death cards dealt "The stars spell out your doom" As the hammer plunges from behind to crush the cranium Not many bodies found, not much evidence left The Bloody Benders faded off into the night and left no trace behind So as you walk upon this hill, remember what took place And wonder, "Where did the Bloody Benders go?" "Where did the Bloody Benders go?" Echoes remain of this place As the wind whispers the macabre tale eternally Beware the curtains upon the wall The bloody hammers lurk behind Guided by malignant souls Guided by malignant souls Come walk with me to this hill Where so many met gruesome fates The hill where the Bloody Benders dwell Beware the curtains upon the wall The bloody hammers lurk behind Guided by malignant souls So as you walk upon this hill, remember what took place And wonder, "Where did the Bloody Benders go?" Echoes remain of this place As the wind whispers the macabre tale eternally Beware the curtains upon the wall The bloody hammers lurk behind Guided by malignant souls Guided by malignant souls Not many bodies found, not much evidence left The Bloody Benders faded off into the night and left no trace behind
4.	Charred Martyr 05:50	lyrics	buy track
Speak your mind as your flesh sears Your ideals were not eligible for the collective view So now you will pay with your life As we cleanse your soul with fire You will pray for death as we pray to our god To forgive your soul that's as black as your burnt skin As black as your burnt skin Charred martyr - scapegoat of pagans Charred martyr - heathen afire Charred martyr - heathen afire Charred martyr - blasphemer burning Charred martyr - blasphemer burning Charred martyr - die for your beliefs You chose fire, you chose damnation And we, the ever-reaching hand of our god Will smite you down to the pits of our hell To the pits of our hell Charred martyr - scapegoat of pagans Charred martyr - heathen afire Charred martyr - heathen afire Charred martyr - blasphemer burning Charred martyr - blasphemer burning Charred martyr - die for your beliefs Gasoline baptism to cleanse you of your demons Gasoline baptism to cleanse you of your demons Gasoline baptism to cleanse you of your demons I would rather burn knowing that I was free Than live in slavery for eternity, for eternity And that is why flames lick my flesh from me And that is why flames lick my flesh from me Explosive revelation in the most literal sense As limbs and bodies lie all around, a divine parody Your god will reward you for your faith Or will he spit on you as you reach the gate Charred martyr - scapegoat of pagans Charred martyr - heathen afire Charred martyr - heathen afire Charred martyr - blasphemer burning Charred martyr - blasphemer burning Charred martyr - die for your beliefs I would rather burn knowing that I was free Than live in slavery for eternity, for eternity And that is why flames lick my flesh from me And that is why flames lick my flesh from me

about

The Coventry Sacrifice Pittsburg, Kansas

With geographic odds stacked against them, a Midwest band that sought to bring metal to a deprived scene in 2001; The Coventry Sacrifice was formed.
They have supported many national and international acts of platinum and gold record acclaim. This is a band which truly stands out and victimizes its audience with an extreme onslaught of their own unique take on melodic death metal. ... more
