lyrics

Crimson blood drips down the altar
Prophecy requires
Sacrifice: the only answer
The gods, we satisfy

The harvest comes, the gods have blessed us
Bring forth the fertile rain
But bitter winds are all we get
The cycle is insane

Embodied form of Famine's wake
Has walked our sacred ground
Life blood lost, our people crave
For questioning the crown

Famine's wake draws Reaper's dust
To breed its bleak consumption
Final veil casts demigods
To call me to the ground

But the gods don't look upon our plane
Uncaring for our foolish ways
Constant pleads for Earthly need
Only to make others bleed

The eyes are closed, and so the souls
Are left to toil in unknown
So now to ease our mortal pain
Bow to the Spirit of the Rain

The bodies pile; Morale has fallen
Disease has reached a high
And so we take and pray returns
The life before this time

What of us has been forsaken?
The Earthly children's cries?
Appease me must, or else we face
Ungodly wrathful might

[FUNK - JAMES]

Bring us the virgins
Women, children, anyone
The gods must be appeased

New world order emerges
Deviants all rise one by one
A new age of disease — it starts to dawn

[SOLO - MARSHALL]

The masses race to find their solace
In Earthly forms of greed
Hope is gone as anarchy
Has rooted down and stayed

One by one, the souls desert
The faith has come twain
And paradise — it falls apart
And slowly drifts away

about

Exemptus Overlea, Maryland

Exemptus is a 5-piece thrash metal band from Baltimore, Maryland. Our mission is to bring true Thrash Metal back to Baltimore and play as loud and as heavy as possible in the process. We don't fall into the stereotypes, and we loosely even fall into the genre; we are all about the fun, enjoying the scene, and playing whatever we think sounds good for us. Get the fuck up and listen for yourself! ... more
