About the lyrics, Alex has said,
"The purpose of the lyric is to
express righteous anger against the Antichrist and to illustrate to the
listener that the Antichrist is powerless and weak. [. . .] a serious
expression to tell the listener (many of which who have found the band
aren’t Christian) that the Antichrist is powerless. [. . .] it is
purposely there to show distinction and that we’re not messing around."
Lineup:
Alex Goatman - Guitars, Bass, Lyrics (+Vocals, early)

1) Firebombing Satanic Shrines
3:28, lyrics:
Gasoline
Inner rage
I feel the need
To torch this place
Satan’s home
Disgraced
False Idols desecrated in place of the Lord
As I shit upon his corpse
The Antichrist made into paste
Occultists burn in holy fire
The Lord never to be disgraced
Burn this infernal filth
2) Powerless Against
3:18, lyrics:
Sinners condemned
To a life below
If you forsake the Lord
You burn in hell
The fires burn
As insects infest your skin
The feeling of doom
As demons live within
Powerless against
Powerless against
In hell your soul is gone
Powerless against
In life you sinned
Powerless against
In death you suffer
Heaven forever closed off
Your infernal fate awaits
Washed in the lake of fire
You cannot resist
Powerless against
3) Consecration
3:08, lyrics:
My inner holy temple
Once degenerate now pure
Vomited my unclean thoughts
Yet another internal schism
As I bleed from my hands
Never to feel physical bliss in life again
I am amongst him
In eternal stigmata
Consecration of the soul
Eternally cleansed
I bear the marks of the Lord
As the skin tears
I see the angel appear to me
Many wings and eyes
The seraph was Crucified
Consecration
4) Thine Sacred Heart
3:36, lyrics:
Flaming Heart
Divine Light
Pierced by the Lance
Surrounded by thorns
Thine Sacred Heart
The Heart of Christ
Thine Sacred Heart
A holy mystery
Joined with the Holy Mary
Her Immaculate Heart
Thine Sacred Heart
Christ the eternal Lord
Thine Sacred Heart
The Heart of Christ
Thine Sacred Heart
A holy mystery
5) Kill the Warlock, Burn the Witch
2:58, lyrics:
Those who preach upon this Earth
The followers of the Antichrist
Once underground
Now above
They wish for the heavens to burn
Satan’s soldiers ripped apart
Those who follow Beelzebub
Lucifer and Baal
Put under the sword
Burned at the stake
By the righteous soldiers of Christ
The granddaughters of the witches
Who could not be killed
Are burned!
Condemned to the fires of hell
Sons who profess in evil
Drawn and quartered
To be displayed to the Antichrist
A fate that he will succumb to
Kill the warlock
Burn the witch
Fires of hell
Claim the bitch
6) Satanachrist Decimation
2:35, lyrics:
Satanachrist
Born in this world
Satanachrist
Soon to die
As I find him
Wallowing in his filth
I raise the hammer
To smash the demon
His skull breaks
With every swing
Bruised and bludgeoned
Decimated Satanachrist
Satanachrist
Never again alive
Satanachrist
It is dead
7) The Mighty Hammer of God
3:18, lyrics:
Under the hammer
The occult will be
Luciferian cross dismayed
Unholy demons destroyed by the Lord
The hammer falls on Satan
As Seraphim rises
The hammer falls on Satan
Evil turning to ashes
Satanists to the hammer
The sentence is read
Occultists to the hammer
Heads are caved in
The hammer falls on Satan
As Seraphim rises
The hammer falls on Satan
Evil turning to ashes
I shit upon the Antichrist
8) Smash the False Idol of the Sabbatic Goat
4:37, lyrics:
Baphomet
I curse thy name
Your foul effigy stands
It awaits my sledgehammer
The Sabbatic Goat
To be smashed
Desecration of Satan
The Sabbatic Goat
To be destroyed
Decimation of Lucifer
As I raise my weapon
Above my head
I strike the false idol
The head topples down
As the body cracks
The Sabbatic Goat
To be smashed
Desecration of Satan
The Sabbatic Goat
To be destroyed
Decimation of Lucifer
The stone becomes dust
A fragment of my righteous anger
Remnants must be burned
In holy fire
