lyrics

BORN AMONG THE FAMISHED MASS,
WHO LIVE THEIR LIVES OF SUFFERING
COUNTED BLESSED BY HOLY MEN,
WHO NEED OR WANT FOR NOTHING
IF PROMISES WERE NOURISHMENT,
IF ONE COULD EAT THE LIES
NO CHILDREN LEFT TO POVERTY,
NO QUIET MILLIONS DYING

PRAYERS MEAN NOTHING,
HOLY LIGHT IS NOT FOR ALL
PRAYERS FOR THE DYING,
THE HUDDLED STARVING COLD

HOUSES OF GOD,
STAB HIGH TOWARDS THE STARS
HOUSES OF GOD,
NOURISHED BY THE HOLY PROMISE

COVET NOT YOUR TREASURE,
WHERE MOTH AND RUST DESTROY
OFFER YOUR POSSESSIONS,
END SUFFERING OF ALL

WHEN PRAYER FAILS,
SOME LIVE – SOME DIE
WHEN LIGHT FADES,
STEEPLES BLACK THE SKY
WHEN PRAYER FAILS,
SOME LIVE – SOME DIE
REJECT THEY,
WHO DWELL BEYOND THE SHEPHERDS FLOCK

CONDEMNING THE ETERNAL,
FOR THE SAKE OF TEMPORAL THINGS
THE CHURCH JUSTIFIES IT WEALTH,
FOR THE FAITHFUL IT DRAWS IN
THROUGH CHARITY OF THE RIGHTEOUS,
THE GIVING CONGREGATION,
FREE OF TAX, FREE OF MORALS,
POVERTY OF SOUL

PRAYERS MEAN NOTHING,
HOLY LIGHT IS NOT FOR ALL
PRAYERS FOR THE DYING,
THE HUDDLED STARVING COLD

HOUSES OF GOD,
STAB HIGH TOWARDS THE STARS
HOUSES OF GOD,
NOURISHED BY THE HOLY PROMISE

THE LORD’S HOUSE OF PRAYER,
IS MADE A DEN OF ROBBERS
GATHERED WEALTH AND HOARDED GOLD,
BLOATED HOLY EXCESS

WHEN PRAYER FAILS,
SOME LIVE – SOME DIE
WHEN LIGHT FADES,
STEEPLES BLACK THE SKY
WHEN PRAYER FAILS,
SOME LIVE – SOME DIE
REJECT THEY,
WHO DWELL BEYOND THE SHEPHERDS FLOCK

SUFFER, STARVE, DIE
IN THE SIGN OF GOD’S HOUSE
TEARING AT THE SKY
A MOCKING VISION OF CRUELTY,
AND GREED, AND WEALTH, AND PROSPERITY, AND LIES, AND DEATH

GOSPEL VERSES CAST ASIDE,
WITHIN THE TAX FREE WALLS
IMAGINED CRIES OF ANGUISHED DEAD,
AMONG THE GILDED HALLS

IN SERVICE OF SELF,
DENIAL OF THEIR DAILY BREAD
OBSCENE WEALTH IS CLOSELY KEPT,
AND VULGAR WEALTH IS FLAUNTED

TURN OUT, COLLECTION PLATES,
LIQUIFY THE HOLY STORES OF GOD
STILL THEY SUFFER
LEAD (BARTLEY)

about

In Malice's Wake image

In Malice's Wake Melbourne, Australia

In Malice’s Wake have established themselves as the dominant thrash/death metal force for well over a decade in Australia. Each full-length release has pushed further into darker and heavier territory leading to the savage 4th release - “The Blindness of Faith” - a destructive crossing point of Thrash and Death metal.

Truly thrash metal as it should be - unholy, destroying sonic fire ... more
