Mortal Sin - An Absence of Faith



1. The Curse (Instrumental)
Originally titled "The Curse of Tutankhamen"
and was given the title after the eerie chords in the intro.



2. Women in Leather
© Carwana, Eftichiou, Campbell, Maurer
Written about the evil women who control the world
their leather clad lusty bodies.


Mistress in metal, rules the night
Her body’s in command
Driven by lust, a bestial sight
Crushed cities of the land
Perverted Mind, can’t be tamed
Smell leather in the air
Gleaming studs, hell’s the blame
We all know who cares

Teasing our minds, this isn’t for real
I know I must be asleep
Trying your best to touch and feel
Thrusting you into the deep
The world turned black, the earth stood still
The mistress in metal is here
She treads her ground she wants to kill
The world’s in the grip of her fear

The play is complete, shout it aloud
Hail the mighty king
Shriekings of flesh, lie dormant and proud
This is a Mortal Sin
Agony & pain, incisions flow red
Wishing it was a dream
Taste my sweat, almost dead
Give it a final scream


4. Liar
© Campbell, Eftichiou, Krstin, Maurer
Written about the Lindy Chamberlain
"A dingo took my baby" fiasco back in 1980.


His eyes burn like fire, they burn you like the sun
He's calling you a liar, he knows that your the one
The judge will pass his sentence, he'll sacrifice your soul
He won't give you repentence, send you to the gallows

Subjected to a means of eternal misery
You've fallen in the shadow of a public mutiny
You listen to your followers, you hear them start to cry
Shouting strains of madness they want you to die

Liar - they'll drive you insane
Liar - they've caught you again
Liar - they want you to die
Liar - should never have lied

You struggle for your sanity your brains about to blow
You want to hear your punishment
you think That you should know
They'll pierce you with the sword of death
they'll push It through your side
Now everybody's laughing, you took them for a ride

Liar - they'll drive you insane
Liar - they've caught you again
Liar - they want you to die
Liar - should never have lied

You're entering the gates above they'll tell you to return
Send you to the fires of hell & let your body burn
Stay down there with all your mates & lie yourself to death
Fill yourselves with laughter & draw another breath


7. Into the Fire
© Krstin, Maurer
Another song about good and evil,
basically a war between the gods of Heaven & Hell.


Calling all gods from Heaven & Hell
Return to the chapel & ring the bell
Punish all the sinners cleanse their souls
Drive the evil spirits back to their holes

Into the fire - the bodies burn
Into the fire - there's no return
Feel the heat - the temperature rise
Feel the heat - its in your eyes

Raised from the dead your bodies alive
Escaped from the torture you have survived
Your face is scarred to skin & bone
Scream for mercy with a howling moan

Chorus:

Calling all sinners who paid the price
Return to the chapel your sacrifice
You fought the black spirits you thought you'd won
The battle of evil has just begun

Chorus:
3. Lebanon
© Carwana, Eftichiou, Krstin, Maurer
Inspired by the war that had taken hold in Beirut
in the early to mid Eighties.


Sound of bombs runs through the air
In the streets of Lebanon
Hate filled soldiers everywhere
The troops of Babylon
Bloodstains on the footpath
Madness on the ground
Senseless forms of bloodbath
As you hear the bugles sound

Dodging the machine gun fire
Fighting for their lives
Killing with their hearts desire
No one can survive
The battle of Lebanon - A Killer
The battle of Lebanon - Destruction

Trenches filled with Muslim guards
Rifles set to fire
Left the enemy battle scarred
Terrorist guns for hire
The battle of Lebanon - A Killer
The battle of Lebanon - Destruction

Planning all the strategies to break the enemies back
Send out the kamikazis on a suicide attack
The Muslims & the Christians are fighting for their rights
Take the war of Lebanon to masochistis heights

Massacre & bloodshed are just a part of war
The children are defenceless & washed up on the floor
Aerial destruction & submarines below
Shooting guided missiles to give the final blow


5. Blood Death Hatred
© Campbell, Krstin, Maurer
A song about evil taking over your mind
& winning the battle for your soul
.

Screaming for mercy your blood's running cold
You worship the Devil your soul has been sold
Give birth to the Beast at the black witches feast
Give rise to your son he's a star in the east
Blood Death Hatred - Sacrificial rite
Blood Death Hatred - Murder in the night

Prepare for the jackal with blood lusting hate
Your mind has been tortured your body's been raped
Your worlds turned to blackness your soul has been burned
Give praise to your god cos the masters returned
Blood Death Hatred - Sacrificial rite
Blood Death Hatred - Murder in the night

You battle temptation your freewill is gone
Subside to the devil his power's too strong
You fight for your kingdom you've people to save
Send them to Heaven or send them to their grave
Blood Death Hatred - Sacrificial rite
Blood Death Hatred - Murder in the night


6. Mortal Slaughter
© Campbell, Krstin, Maurer
A song about the beast on the front cover,
coming to get you in the darkness of the night to take your life.


See me hear me screaming in the night
Feel me fear me know my fearsome sight
Bondage torture come into my lair
Let me tempt you see if you will dare

Mortal Slaughter - taste the evil kiss
Mortal Slaughter - fall to the abyss
Mortal Slaughter - feel the mighty pain
Mortal Slaughter - the demon wins agian

Raping killing women of the night
Taking deliver for the eternal light
Hear you screaming as you shout my name
Satan invites you come and play his game

Chorus:

Helter skelter running from my sword
Gates of Hades waiting for my Lord
Death destruction Hear my piercing cry
Religion bullshit it's all a Fucking lie

Chorus:


8. Mayhemic Destruction
© Krstin, Maurer, Campbell, Carwana, Eftichiou
If a picture paints a thousand words, the cover describes this song.
Armageddon has arrived!


Mayhemic destruction death is the call
Crushing with abduction wants to kill them all
Eternal devastation oozing with pain
Manifestation live for Satan's reign

Mayhemic destruction - four times

Total distortion blood from your ears
living with abortion memories disappear
Facing your destiny living just to die
Christian immunity reach for the sky

Mayhemic destruction - four times

People fleeing cos they're scared yet no place to go
Fire & brimstone in your blood Fuck who told you so
Take your heart send it down to a fiery death
Got no chance of life we drain out your last breath

You were warned of this your unholy book
Devouring vermin destroy a corpse dare you take a look
Armageddon went too far what is left of life
Pity up there in Heaven you missed your cut of a knife
