Venya Brutal album, musically and lyrically, with a lot to say about organized religion and the hypocrisy of many of its practitioners, but also hints of hope. Particularly fond of the bass lines. Favorite track: Eradication Campaign (In the Name of the Lord).

Victim of His image Reflection of His damage With a smile and a wink In flesh do our fangs sink Shadows beneath the skin Our shadows beneath the skin Victim of His desires Reflection of His fire With cloak and knives We live our lives Shadows beneath the skin Our shadows beneath the skin Victim of His wishes Reflection of perdition In search of truth We poison our youth Shadows beneath the skin Our shadows beneath the skin

All I wanted was family Loved ones to accept me All I got was disdain And ultimately hate You accepted me at my worst When my heart did not yet thirst And now cast me aside When from ashes I rise Cocksucker Motherfucker Postpartum abortion And divine extortion These words you say to me Fuel the fires of self industry In the end there’ll be no mercy No, no, no mercy from me All I wanted was love Before becoming a bloodied dove All I got was spite As if that’d make things right I sang songs of peace Having found release But all you could see Was the new form before thee Cocksucker Motherfucker Postpartum abortion And divine extortion These words you say to me Fuel the fires of self industry In the end there’ll be no mercy No, no, no mercy from me All I wanted was for naught Your hearts are lost All I got was vitriol As I watched you fall You killed your child Praising God all the while It was never happenstance Respect by choice, blood by chance Cocksucker Motherfucker Postpartum abortion And divine extortion These words you say to me Fuel the fires of self industry In the end there’ll be no mercy No, no, no mercy from me Cocksucker Motherfucker Postpartum abortion And divine extortion These words you say to me Fuel the fires of self industry In the end there’ll be no mercy No, no, no mercy from me No, no, no, no, no!

I taste the blood upon your lips I watch as your eyes shift Their gaze toward mine own Their gaze toward mine own Walking on ash, we chart our own path With touch of glass, I cut you to see The blood of yours become mine own The blood of yours become mine own We can stay up until The moon’s light swallows all And then we will scatter As the sun claims its due Sadomasochistic and reciprocal Majestic and fantastical Through darkest affection We see our own reflection The air I let you breathe The sights I let you see They all become mine own They all become mine own The words I let you hear The scars I let you wear Your pulse becomes mine own Your pulse becomes mine own We can stay up until The moon’s light swallows all And then we will scatter As the sun claims its due Sadomasochistic and reciprocal Majestic and fantastical Through darkest affection We see our own reflection What is life without fear What is love without hope Hopes that become mine own Hopes that become mine own You die, die, die inside As desires become realized Desires that become mine own Desires that become mine own We can stay up until The moon’s light swallows all And then we will scatter As the sun claims its due Sadomasochistic and reciprocal Majestic and fantastical Through darkest affection We see our own reflection Viciously yours, I claim what’s mine own Viciously yours, I claim what’s mine own Viciously yours, I claim what’s mine own Viciously yours, I claim what’s mine own I am viciously yours I am viciously yours I am viciously yours I am viciously yours We can stay up until The moon’s light swallows all And then we will scatter As the sun claims its due Sadomasochistic and reciprocal Majestic and fantastical Through darkest affection We see our own reflection

about

On the surface, Salvation appears to be a scathing critique of fundamentalist and fascist religious types, but, beneath the surface, a more insidious and personal meaning for Jessica lies in wait.
