Recently my project Ligature Strangulation appeared on a split album. If you're into the extremely niche genre of "gorenoise", you can buy it [here] from the seller ..BibaRecords..! Anyway, since we didn't include lyrics on the packaging or inlay itself, I figured I would put the lyrics here so people can still read them. Most of the lyrics were written by me, but a few were quoted from other sources - these will be noted below. The first 3 songs are taken from [this demo] (NOISE WARNING). Tracks 4-10 are new songs.
1) The Heretics' Fatal Misconception of Christ's Crucifixion
00:53
Go ahead and mutilate Christ. Every drop of blood is another victory for His kingdom. Every fleshwound is another sin paid for. Blood forever pours from above. It is the assurance of salvation to all who cling unto the Lord.
2) Fatally Piercing the Idols Through the Integrity of Revelation 20:10

2) Fatally Piercing the Idols Through the Integrity of Revelation 20:10
1:03
Demonic forces. Manipulators and cunning liars. Their words torn apart with the sword of Scripture. My name is written in the book of life. And they are powerless against God's might. Not one finger of theirs can touch us. The devil will be thrown into Hell, along with his entire army.
3) Eternal Worship of the Creator YHWH

3) Eternal Worship of the Creator YHWH
1:43
Three in one. Holy wind from above. Guider. Healer. Protector. God, King of kings. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Creator and sustainer. Parent and friend. Comrade and general. Ever deserving of praise. For those who love You, this painful life is temporal. A new, better one awaits in Your kingdom. Through these trials, we grow and learn, under the watchful eye of an ever-present deity. Glory be unto You for all ages to come. Society shall pass away. This world shall pass away. Your word shall never pass away. Eternal is, and shall be, Your glory. Divinity on a scale humanity cannot yet fathom. Give me ever more faith and devotion for Your righteous cause. Amen.
4) A Heart Which Devises Wicked Imagination

4) A Heart Which Devises Wicked Imagination
00:56
There are evil thoughts in all men's hearts; but the devising, fabricating of them, and thus making the heart into a devil's workshop, is the mark of utter depravity and wickedness, and is abhorrent to God. The devices of the heart, though planned in secret, are clear to him "to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are bid." The peculiar position which the heart occupies in the enumeration is to be accounted for on the ground that it is the fountain, not only of those vices which have been already mentioned, but of those which follow. (adapted from Pulpit Commentary)
5) Feet Which Be Swift in Running to Evil

5) Feet Which Be Swift in Running to Evil
00:34
"To run to mischief" is to carry out with alacrity and without delay what has already been devised in the heart. It implies more than falling or sliding into sin, which is common to all. It denotes, Cornelius a Lapide remarks, "inexplebilem sceleris aviditatem, et destinatum studium." (adapted from Pulpit Commentary)

6) That Mankind Is Left Without Excuse
00:37
For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. (Romans 1:20 NLT)
7) There Is None Which Doeth Good, No, Not One

7) There Is None Which Doeth Good, No, Not One
1:28
Citizens and governments alike committing human rights abuses. Communally defending negligence in worship of mammon. Riots and vandalism destroy civilization while police in authority slaughter minorities. Godless masses turn against one another in selfishness and greed, in lust and pride. Unity only in our desperation to sin. Unity only in our global hatred of righteousness. War waged not by powers or wealth, but by a society unwilling to confront sin and denounce temptation. Agendas over Scripture. Rape over marriage. Lust over sensibility. And soon - judgment over mercy.
8) From Whence Come Wars And Fightings Among You

8) From Whence Come Wars And Fightings Among You
1:25
Nukes dropped on innocents. Thousands and thousands of civilians lie in mass graves. Addicted to power like a drug, the children of Satan wage war. "They" say the number one cause of war is religion. "They" have never tasted the sweet nectar of oil. "They" have never had the satisfaction of forcefully tearing a piece of land away from another people. "They" can't fathom the depths to which mankind will go for its depravity. Rape in the name of war. Bomb in the name of war. Poison in the name of war. Turn up the flames of Hell and secure your place in damnation.
9) He Was Bruised For Our Iniquities

9) He Was Bruised For Our Iniquities
00:44
He is our Savior - Jesus Christ. So much evil have we wrought, so much torment we deserve. All that torment is brought to naught as He embraces you - pierced and scarred hands, feet hardly able to walk from the wounds, thorns encircling His head. A radiant light overpowers the darkness in your heart in that sweet moment of safety, as the only begotten son of God says to you, "I did this for you".
10) And God Shall Wipe Away All Tears from Our Eyes

10) And God Shall Wipe Away All Tears from Our Eyes
1:28
The world is too corrupt and evil. Warnings are ignored, corruption only rises. Wickedness surrounds me all day. And I can scarcely look into a mirror and say I'm any better. It's a swamp of sin and disappointment. Soon enough God, it will all go away. You'll commence judgment, and we who remain faithful will go to a place without any sin, only the righteousness of Your presence and glory for which we've so yearned. The old earth and heaven will be destroyed and replaced with purity. No more flawed intent. No more failings. No more temptation. No more racism. No more death. No more Satanism. No more illness, physical or mental. "The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet." (Romans 16:20) And I can't wait for that moment, resting in the knowledge that these trials are over. Let me be Your warrior and servant for the rest of this life. You gave me eternity. I can at least give You whatever remains of my time here.

UPDATE
Ligature is going to appear on another split album. I decided to include the lyrics here as well. Eventually I plan to overhaul this page so it's a little less messy. For now though, here are the new lyrics:
1) Shadows Spill like Blood
Desecration of diabolical empires. Blade of Scripture cuts through the heart of lying shadows. Stronghold exposed for its weakness. Illusion smashed. Blood pours. Vomit these shadows, dripped from my fangs and from the once-worshipped creation. All consecrated anew to the holy God.
2) When Christ Will No Longer Send Them to the Swine
The end comes. Your kingdom will be washed away by hellfire. "Send us not into the desert", the Legion once said. "Send us into those pigs!" Christ allowed them to, but the time is coming very quickly when this will no longer be permitted. You will beg for the desert. You will never escape Hell.
3) Black and White Magick Gutted
Ethereal lies forever shattered. Black magick crushed by stronger divine power, white magick is nothing but a pagan twisting of divine intent. Both must be destroyed.
The sword of Scripture cuts!
The sword of Scripture cuts!
The sword of Scripture cuts!
The sword of Scripture cuts!
The sword of Scripture cuts!
The sword of Scripture cuts!
The sword of Scripture cuts!
The sword of Scripture cuts!
4) Solvet Saeclum in Favilla
End times they said wouldn't come. Wars destroyed. Earth dissolved in armageddon. Empire of sin gone. Babylon erased eternally. God reigned then and God reigns now. Judgment comes. Eternal peace and eternal destruction await.
5) In Expugnationem Peccatorum
Awake the sleeping sinners. The Gospel can't be silenced. Crush the hypnotic strongholds. Oppose the lies. Desecrate idolatry and twistings of God's Word. Stop at nothing. Let lukewarm thoughts fall away from you. This is spiritual combat. Raise your sword, protect the oppressed and watch the oppressors fall into ruin.
6) Unworthy of His Utter Love and Mercy
The love God has for me, a reflection of His love and mercy. How quick am I to condemn while He is equally quick to forgive? How quick am I to go against my own convictions in moments of emotional distress while He is unchanging and able to remain objective at all times? If I were God I would have dismissed someone like me a long time ago. Yet God remains patient, God remains loving. I am thankful and humbled. I don't know what God sees in me, but it must be something worthwhile. Christ paid for my sins on the cross. Why? But thank You!
7) Can There Any Good Thing Come Out of Nazareth?
Can any good thing come from Nazareth? Yes! Can any good thing come from gorenoise? Yes! Can any good thing come from Christian metal? Yes! Can any good thing come from me? Yes! None of this is because of the inherent virtue of these things, but because God is powerful and able to work good through various things.
8) Philip Saith Unto Him, Come and See.
Come and see that good can come from Nazareth.
Come and see that our Lord is good.
Come and see the fulfillment of prophecies. Come and see rejuvenation of the soul. Come and see strength renewed. Come and see philosophies untangled. Come and see knowledge increase. Come and see true salvation. Come and see illusions fall away. Come and see evil crushed under foot.
Come and see that our Lord is good.
Come and see that our Lord is good.
Come and see the fulfillment of prophecies. Come and see rejuvenation of the soul. Come and see strength renewed. Come and see philosophies untangled. Come and see knowledge increase. Come and see true salvation. Come and see illusions fall away. Come and see evil crushed under foot.
Come and see that our Lord is good.
9) Et Diabolus in Stagnum Ignis in Saecula Saeculorum
One of God's angels, you could have been so much. Now you're almost nothing. Fallen. And falling further, and further... Burning, and screaming, and dying, in a pit of sulphur, forever, and ever, and ever... You built such a massive empire, crumpled in one fell swoop. You will never be anything again, but one voice of many screaming for mercy, while above, those you hurt so much are given eternal comfort. BURN!!! BE AS NOTHING!!! DIE!!! WRETCH!!! CHAFF!!! FALL!!!
