GRIFTEGÅRD LYRICS

1. Charles Taze Russel

Pass on the unleavened bread
Don't drink the bitter wine
You are not among the chosen
But soon you will receive what's coming

Christ comes through the window
Christ comes through the roof
Christ comes to kill sin
Christ comes in truth

Heavenly Father angry with his children
Sends his firstborn to kill them
High and low they will all fall
By the swords of Heavens Horde

Holy ground covered by dead religious
On the doors of the Sanctimonious
No mark of lamb's blood painted
Earth is cleansed, no longer tainted

Christ stands triumphant, hateful master
The lion's will is done, disaster
Man cannot suffer enough for his sins
Man cannot suffer enough for the nails.

2. Punishment & Ordeal

Sensations are lost
Flat-line of the mind
Radiant eye of the world storm
Calm as the glow of silver

Reign from heaven
Ripples not the stillness
Of the depths
Unto which I have fallen

Days like pearls lined
In a necklace of pain
Pearly gates to pain
Open wide

Punishment and ordeal
You sent me here
King coldness
Of no solace
While my brother's keeper
Won't let go

See me, I am here
Bleeding for you
My inner room
Vibrant with your sorrow

I see your light
As through tears
I lay a shadow
In your shadow

You sleep righteous
Above the throng
The orphan's choir unheard
Billions wailing, so alone

3. I Refuse These Ashes

I refuse these ashes
My mind's eye see, my mind's I
While the evidence of weakness
Is piling up in heaps
The filth of sweat and tears
Streaming from me
The greed and lust and all these fears
The lies and alcohol that drips
From my mouth, from my mouth

A mount Zion inside with a ceiling
Undying thirst for us dying children
I fail to ascend as I ponder infinity
Oh, endlessly

I refuse these ashes
My mind's eye see, my mind is I
While the evidence of weakness
Is piling up in heaps
The filth of sweat and tears
Streaming from me
The greed and lust and all these fears
The lies and alcohol that drips
From my mouth, from my mouth

4. Noah's Hands

Angels sang these words to me
Granting hope with a prophecy
The lord of mercy will return
To pour out his love, to burn

Great white mass in gospels sing
Joyous hymns for the King
The funereal psalm that is creation
Soon void of mans distortion

All things good though mostly bad
All the dreams we ever had
All the hate and little love we shared
Will be nothing, will be nothing

There will be silence, silence
Silence over the depths again
The dove will leave no ones hands
Just to find all empty lands

5. The Mire

We call out to you from this mire
Of no love and wrong desires
Our path to self realization
Lead to the soul's annihilation

With hearts like holes
We wander in confusion
Our famished souls
Wallow in delusions

A roar and we all fall
No chain restrains the beast
We have entered an abyss
The old speech of tongues now
Heretic's gospels best unsung
All values broken down
Into bitter frowns

Your spine stoops
Then a crack
A whip wielded by ones greed
It can't be held back
In the mire, in the mire

Beckoning fortune
Your pot of gold
No sense, no direction
You lost your soul
To the mire
You lost it all
To the mire

6. Drunk With Wormwood

Jesus dies inside my heart
Judas lingers on
All my values broken down
In a bitter frown

A chain of deeds committed
Weigh heavy round my chest
It can not be broken
Only outstretched

Jesus dies inside my heart
While Judas lingers on
My heart has broken down
Pumping end time rhymes

I leave these words to discourage
See, I block my own path with stones
Drunk with wormwood I stumble
In lies entangled and alone
