2.	The Malignant Strain 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Countdown to the second hour Dying comes a little bit slower Revive not the human race An epitaph of life Contempt is taking over Witness the innocent suffer Consequence will deal the hand A return to life. Open up to swallow the lie See the hate infesting inside They isolate themselves For their demons Sadistic motives are found Their hands are pulling me down Disassembling the masses For their demons Complicit movements Accentuate madness Compelled and enthralled Physicality enslaved A vision seems to bring forward The ending of times to come A process of bleeding inwards They call it blood for blood
3.	My Vendetta 03:05	lyrics	buy track
False prophets and religions Bleed their believers for faith and disease I shall bring down your ascension Drown in your own filth and corruption Tear away the laws of the world Dying divinity descending low Indulge in the blood of your martyr Bleeding like a venomous crescendo From which I create A method to subjugate Your perverted words Your scheme of sufferance Global web of deceit Robes cast from gold and greed Spreading their calculative lies In front of sheltered eyes Cast upon the throne of hypocrisy A crown of thorns to pierce in malice Scriptures awashed in innocent blood Bullets fired by the crowds in apostasy Fear is their weapon of choice My weapon shall be my voice I shall destroy the influence Nothing controls my mind I have no gods and no masters I spit upon empty idolatry Desecrate the houses of the holy Nothing is sacred, nothing is safe from My vendetta
4.	Fallen Into Obscurity 04:10	lyrics	buy track
Time will waste away Remnants of thought and mortality Rot the ignorant flesh Nothing ever stays In the bleak desolation Even dreams will decay Expunged into non-existence Null and void Exile the spirit and mind From silent bodies Drifting in dead reverie Null and void Withdrawn beyond comprehension Purposelessness conceived Cease the flow and connection Dispel all belief Memories Fallen into obscurity By harsh reality Everything fades to grey Non-existence
5.	Our Glorious Dead 06:33	lyrics	buy track
Lie in the trench Feel the fire underneath Blood is boiling now Wings of death are flying free Veil of sovereignty Lies built for us to see Wounded dogs of war A bloodied history Fear engulfs the weak Kill the need to hear and speak Stained foreheads of the young Imprisoned where they don’t belong Take the rebellious ones Chaingangs of the strong Churn the wheels of hate Watch this world disintegrate Fire at the opposing force They shall not get across Finish them off, critical strike Decimation of the enemy lines Retaliate For this to satiate Revenge is sworn through the blood Rebel lands swept in dust Bodies rest in decay Open tombs for the suffering Behold the everlasting day The lasting day
6.	Grifter 03:34	lyrics	buy track
Shadowed walls breached by the Figure of untold apprehension Bullets graze nothing but the Air that he breathes Movements made to subtlety deceive Then comes the sleight-of-hand Weapons used as a divine reprieve There is nothing to understand Wreck, kill, maim The aim of sabotage Cock, load, fire Art of assassination Meld, hide and wait Methods of deception Silent as death-like sleep Cloaked mercenary Merciless and swift Judgment upon the wicked Grifter
7.	Deadening the Dispirited 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Walking blind towards the road of self-destruction The depths of a hell unknown Questioning the integrity of self-preservation We take the first hurting steps From sufferance comes perseverance Limited by imperfection In the presence of burning time The failures of the human condition Hinders the ability to heal and proceed Scaling the heights of revelation Only to fall through the hands of grace Holding onto what is left The remnants of belief and shattered faith The gratification of recurring delusions Distracts the focus of a direction Purpose of being has been denominated Decimated Reason condemned before accusing eyes Sewn shut with lies We feel ourselves nearing the end Failure is an option that should be cast aside A step away from the edge of decline To let time heal all our wounds in kind But the deepened, engraved scars still remain
8.	Atrocities That Birthed Abominations 07:45	lyrics	buy track
Crawl upon the threshold of tolerance and severity Trespass not the boundaries, digress the atrocities Birthed are the fallen ones, atone for nothing they have done Conceive destruction through the mouth of the temple Requite the visions of the formless ones Through penance re-assailed We have waited so long For this time to come We have waited so long For this time to decrown Contradictions of life condescend Fractions of thought derailed Consequences re-construed Fragments of life assumed Freefall of command Enunciation of power and strength Denouncement of integrity Shroud of war descends Through this mortal coil Relieve this turmoil Reject the final day Head downwards to praise Through this mortal coil Relieve this turmoil Reject the final day Head downwards to praise Receive the anointment of statutory rape Defile the innocence with incorruptible hate Receive the anointment of statutory rape Defile the innocence with incorruptible hate

about

"This album has been the soundtrack to my journeys to and from work this week and I can't tell you how awesome it is to find a Death Metal album that makes me just want to hit the repeat button and keep it playing for as long as possible."
- Lou of Loucifer Speaks Webzine (UK)

"As a first up release ‘Atrocities That Birthed Abominations’ is pretty stunning both in a musical sense and with its intelligent and thought provoking lyrics and subject matter. One might even say it does a good job of outshining some of the tentative first releases of a couple of the acts who have undoubtedly inspired Absence Of The Sacred. Check it out, you will not regret it."
- Jamie Goforth of Black Belle Webzine (Australia)

"Atrocities that Birthed Abominations sound fresh from the first track to the last. The entire album generates a post-apocalyptic atmosphere, dealing with the decline of humanity and how the world is just going down. Absence of the Sacred paints a picture of the "Abominations" that are spawned from our "Atrocities" in a chillingly effective manner, all the while escorted by the tight musicianship and sonic soundscapes."
- Encyclopaedia Metallum
