Don't believe them when they say that it's alright
Don't believe a single word that they say
Fed like worms into the wheels of confusion
Death becomes you and it's coming your way
Charge the war machine with lies and corruption
Fill the churches with your children and gold
Seeds of hatred bearing death and destruction
The holy grail is the truth never told

Enter the funeral pyre
A nihilistic messiah
The flames grow higher and higher
So, put your faith in the fire

Count the seconds til' the four-minute warning
Count your blessings and look to the sky
Count your lucky stars, you won't see the morning
It isn't living when you're waiting to die

Flames caress you, the darkness can possess you
Can't face the fear and the pain will obsess you
Unholy visions, they blind you and they bind you
A burning need for a God you can believe in

Enter the funeral pyre
A nihilistic messiah

The flames grow higher and higher
So, put your faith in the fire

War of attrition, a means to an end
Bringer of light and destroyer of men

Flames caress you the darkness can possess you
Can't face the fear and the pain will obsess you
Unholy visions, they blind you and they bind you
A burning need for a God you can believe in

Enter the funeral pyre
A nihilistic messiah
The flames grow higher and higher
So, put your faith in the fire (Repeat)
