Stand, stand before me, I am He
Worship, worship me, my People's Temple
Beg, beg for an ending, from this life
Curse, curse the wicked, for your pain
Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray to me
Die, die, die, die As a freedom fighter
Unholier than thou, as I speak
Of the word, of the lord
A man preaching God, to the throngs
Of the people, fell below
Take the lives of my follower's let them
Know that their lives are in my hand
Unholier than thou, thou shall drink
Drink deep, of the cup
Question, question my, sanity
Condemn, condemn the actions, of my life
Console, console the families, for their loss
Escape, escape this world, and all it's pain
Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray for Dad
Die, die, die, die As a freedom fighter
Unholier that thou as I play
The role, that of God
Follow me my people's temple
Enjoying all I see, heaven's earth
Watch me as I heal the sick
Watch me as I take your life
Unholier than thou, I am
The answer to your prayers
Feel, the presence of God
Waiting for your first and final meeting
Accept, your new and final fate
Converge together on the other side
Drink deep of the fatal potion
Women and the young begin first
Sorry, it's your only way out
We've finally past the point of no return
Watching you lie there, writhing in pain
Confusion, it burns in your eyes
You can't contemplate, the statement we've made
Its impact will scar and defy
These years in Guyana, will not be forgot
The carnage will stick in their minds
The world mesmerized, in shock they look on
With horror they sift through the lies
Place the gun to my head, find peace and solitude
I'll take my own life, a cause, I thought to be true
Nine hundred dead, the world must know why
Such death and destruction, such a waste of human life
White, Night, our infamous, mass suicide
Years from now they still will wonder
Why did it have to end this way

Location made it hard for me to be on the tape trading circuit back in the day, so discovering this band in the 80s would have been hard from rural ohio. Glad I got to hear this now! Rivals all the stateside 2nd wave thrashers ! Recommend ! warchrist30

Got the chance to see them in November '23. I was really impressed and this album is a great representation of what they do. I was always a huge fan of Angelcorpse, and this band does a fine version of their own take on that blackened/thrash/death metal mx. Really, really great album. Bart
