[Lyric] Absolution (Atrocity (US))

The holy city of Jerusalem
Now a breeding ground for the unholy
Barbaric Islamic worship lies behind its walls
Festering with sin, all light has died

I call for holy war
For the destruction of its inhabitants
Purification of the heathen
Through the bloodlust of God's army

Under Jesus Christ, our lord, may you struggle for Jerusalem
Struggle that you may drive the Islamic faith into the ground

With the Cross on our chests, and weapons of war
We will reclaim Jerusalem, tear down its walls
We will wash these holy lands with your heathen blood

Plunder and massacre the wretched in the name of God
And destroy all other faith for the glory of the Pope and Catholic church

Our holy cause now cast aside
To fulfill our own lust for blood and wealth
Slaughter of the innocent
Men, women and children alike
Slicing your heads off
Burning you to death
Rain of arrows upon you
Violence in the name of God

After your decimation, we begin to loot your homes and mosques
Swallow your precious objects
We will dismember you to find them
Disembowelment revealing the wealth you tried to protect

Mercenaries of Christ, in payment for reclaiming the Holy Land, your immaculate father absolves you of all your sins

How blind they truly are
Carrying out the will of the Deceiver in the name of Christ
No man can absolve them of sin
A truth kept from reaching the surface

Through the propaganda of absolution, is my will carried out
False redemption for these "holy warriors"
Assured by the bishops and priests under me
My salesmen of salvation
