WHITEWASHED TOMBS

written by Patrick Best
(based on Matthew 23)
for they preach, but do not practice
tie burdens on others and not care to lift
but do not follow their example
all their works are performed to be seen
woe to you scribes and pharisees
outward beauty and hypocrisies
blind guides but inside dead men's bones
every kind of filth and unclean
whitewashed tombs
strain out the gnat, swallow the camel
whitewashed tombs
greatest of you must be your servant
places of honor and seats at banquets
you lock the Kingdom before human beings
blind fools to the swearing of gold
to whom the gift makes the altar sacred
woe to you scribes and pharisees
outward beauty and hypocrisies
blind guides but inside dead men's bones
every kind of filth and unclean
whitewashed tombs
strain out the gnat, swallow the camel
whitewashed tombs
greatest of you must be your servant
"you blind men"
"for which is of greater worth..."
"the offering or the altar that makes the offering sacred?"
whitewashed - tombs
whitewashed - tombs
white
washed
white washed tombs
whitewashed tombs
strain out the gnat, swallow the camel
whitewashed tombs
greatest of you must be your servant
behold you have, but one Father
neither be called Master
cleanse first the cup inside
that the outside may be clean
whitewashed tombs
whitewashed tombs

TWO MASTERS
04:02

written by Patrick Best
(based on Matthew 6)
no one can serve - two masters
no one can serve - two masters
for all our bodies are temples
for all must choose what dwells within
temples of idols or the Living God
choose wisely the rival you let in
treasure stored up on earth
only becomes shriveled in worth
where thieves break in and plunder
where moth and woodworm put asunder
worshippers by nature we are born
our idols placed on altars of affection
worshipers by nature we are born
our idols placed on altars of affection
no one can serve - two masters
no one can serve - two masters
for where one's treasure shall lie
so does reside their beating heart
and if the eye becomes diseased
the body shall wither and fade dark
treasure stored up on earth
only becomes shriveled in worth
where thieves break in and plunder
where moth and woodworm put asunder
worshippers by nature we are born
our idols placed on altars of affection
worshipers by nature we are born
our idols placed on altars of affection
no one can serve - two masters
no one can serve - two masters
no one can be the slave of two masters
for the love of gold is a grave road
paved with lies and deceptions of old
walk in freedom or carry the load
bronze statues of old
temples of gold
tales of temporal fortunes
or your eternal soul
no one can serve - two masters
no one can serve - two masters
finis

This a fantastic album for scaring the hell out of non metal heads (pun intended). This was the first deathcore album I heard and it's still the heaviest and still my favorite. God bless I hope this band gets the attention it deserves.

Thrash/Speed/Progressive metal. Vocals reminiscent of Tourniquet at times. The cover of Souls In Torment is excellent. Let It Be Known is haunting and melodic. Check out the excellent intro leads on Inception.
