Based on the biblical passage of the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, after breaking the Roman laws. Bringing together a group of false followers that claimed he was the king of the Jews. Lucifer stands witnessing his crucifixion, laughing at the lifeless body of Christ and welcoming him to burn in hell.

I dare you come to preach
false words and stories of your father
They're only all lies
We don't believe you
They say you are the king of the Jews
Then you shall wear this crown
Whippings of hate
ripping your flesh
Thorns digging into you
No remorse
Till we see you dead
Bleeding, suffering for all your sinners
Screaming to your god, to the heaven
They say you are the king of the Jews
Then you shall wear this crown
Whippings of hate
Ripping your flesh
Thorns digging into you
No remorse
Till we see you dead
The end has come
the blood has been spilled
The enemy of man
Has perished on the cross
Now Jesus has fallen to the flames of hell
Your savior has abandoned you
Your worthless prayers mean nothing
I am his eternal nightmare
I am his forever suffering
I am his destruction
I am Lucifer
