lyrics

When you offer
Blind animals for sacrifice
Is that not wrong?
When you sacrifice
Lame or diseased animals
Is that not wrong?

Now plead with God
To be gracious to us
With such offerings from your hands
Will he accept you?

Oh, that one of you would
Shut the temple doors
So that you would not light
Useless fires on my altar!
I am not pleased with you
And I will accept no offering
From your hands

My name will be great among the nations
From where the sun rises to where it sets
In every place incense and pure offerings
Will be brought to me
Because my name will be great
Among the nations

But you profane it by saying
‘The Lord’s table is defiled’
And, ‘Its food is contemptible’
And you say
‘What a burden!’
And you sniff at it contemptuously

Cursed is the cheat
For I am a great king
And my name is to be
Feared among the nations

And now, you priests
This warning is for you
If you do not listen
And if you do not resolve
To honor my name
I will send a curse on you

My name will be great among the nations
From where the sun rises to where it sets
In every place incense and pure offerings
Will be brought to me
Because my name will be great
Among the nations

For the lips of a priest
Ought to preserve knowledge
Because he is the messenger
Of the Lord Almighty

But you have turned from the way
And by your teaching have caused many to stumble
So I have caused you to be despised
Because you have not followed my ways

My name will be great among the nations
From where the sun rises to where it sets
In every place incense and pure offerings
Will be brought to me
Because my name will be great
Among the nations

This is my favourite Vials of Wrath album. I prefer the heavier sound. I like the more recent stuff a lot, but I absolutely love this. PSF 1517

Classic old school death metal. I hear a little bit old IMMOLATION and GRAVE mixed together. Lahtysz

Trading majestic drone for smoldering assaults, the iconic Japanese outfit rekindle the leaden aggression of their early period. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2020

Unreal how freaking great this is! I had no idea Christian inspired metal could be so awesome! I challenge all my fellow black metal lovers to give this 1 man band some attention! His whole body of work is fantastic! VUKARI
