Delving into mysteries they should know to fear Living in the darkness of their great deceit A quest for eldritch knowledge only they revere Unhallowed scholars pillaging the world beneath As we pray to god defiled We await a call beyond Atonement for their sins so vile A curse on every one Barbaric pupils Vehement creeds Studious evil Depraved misdeeds Upon our people they've descended to befoul Torturous methods to attain enlightenment We beseech amends, yet they just disavow Heedless violations deepen our lament Blasphemous murderers! Face judgment! Blood-crazed fiends! Death to all! You are doomed! We shall have our vengeance! Weep with us! Hear our call! Mercy for the orphaned child Oh, mercy please for us Damn ye all to endless trial By the wrath of Mother Kos A bottomless curse A bottomless sea Source of all greatness All things that be
2.
A tower of iniquity Where there's no solace Her bastion of grief Terrible secrets she must keep Above the waking world The curse never sleeps A shameful lady keeping watch Over the sinful and the lost Captive of the nightmare Minion of the dream Favor a baneful reckoning Sympathy they both share Somewhere in-between Maybe a distant memory A home beyond reality She has one purpose Tending to graves unseen Wretched souls she must entreat To cleanse the waking world A shadow of the fair lady Oh, blessed be her love for thee Chained to a place; designed for grace A beckoning curiosity Will liberate and seal your fate Do gods care for their creations? Why do humans fashion dolls? Will there ever be salvation? Can a malefactor be absolved? Pale imitation of flesh and bone A corpse should be left well alone
3.
Deep under moonlit night Below the gentle waves Lives the vacuous one Whose illusion betrays The eldritch true insight Fearfully locked away But the nightmare lives on Creeping out of its cage Study the relics and the runes Beware the blood of old Lest we invite impending doom A dreadful tale retold We do not want What has been wrought We seek the gods But they do not Grant us more eyes on the inside Failure is our great lie Abhorrent genocide Draining the town Beneath the crimson sky They feed the child The horror of the lecture hall One reborn insane Forbidden science to enthrall Only the deranged Renounce the flesh; project the mind Perform the ancient rite Leaving embodiment behind As their souls ignite We did not want What they have sought The spider hides Their deathly rot A frenzied torment takes us all There is no escape The city and the church shall fall As the beasts awake Please, grant us eyes on the inside Born of the blood We're made in blood Undone by blood Fear the old blood We are beset by vermin Our eyes are yet to open
4.
We have arisen Blessed of the gods The healing church Borne by the blood Share it with us Spread word abroad Our city grows The towers climb Only we know What lurks inside What slept beneath Was brought to light So we bequeath Her sanguine life Daughter of stars Fell from the sky Come from afar Grant us insight A celestial emissary We must create Willing subjects necessary Shall congregate Our frailty's omnipresent And we are kin This curse is unrelenting Warped from within Seek the old blood Let us pray Seek the old blood Let us partake Commence the feast Upon the town We've become beasts Communed as one
5.
You're nothing but abominations You are all that I despise I'll end your filthy aspirations This holy justice is mine Castle of greed Spreading disease Hear my decree Your bloodline is evil All now must die Man, woman, child None to survive A tomb for your people Undying queen Noble unclean Baptized obscene Accursed aberrations When god's defied Violence is wise Mercy denied I crave mutilation With joy I mangle you asunder Pummeled you live on withal By the wheel I claim my plunder Your flesh is strewn on the walls
6.
We've gathered here to stand our ground With custom tools designed for brutality Until every last beast is found We shall not rest in our duty to humanity The scourge descends in pestilence Our fight is lost Must cut the cost Burn it all down Seal the old town Comrades abuse the blood to heal A stirring madness leaves little doubt Their wretched drunkenness reveals The enemy is within and without I must shoulder this burden A curse to cull my own kind This is the path that I've chosen A hunter of hunters maligned By the blade of pity be purified I slit the throats of former allies Every assassination is justified But with each kill I slowly die Night after night I carry on My friends are slain What once was loved is dead and gone Nevermore feel pain A foe of treacherous repute Returns to dominate To the cathedral I pursue The bloody crow of fate We've done this dance before Birds of a feather flock to war It's time to settle our score Fallen from grace I'll dream no more Now only I can stop the monsters Everyone's turning into beasts No further use for any hunters The nightmare's ending here with me
7.
We invoked the gods beyond Knowing not how they'd respond The sky and cosmos are one Our evolution has come Curse the old blood To what did we pray? Seeking the blood Was a mistake We have sown our own downfall Now there's no escape A frenzied madness takes us all As beasts we awake Baptized unclean Violence obscene When they arrived Humanity died Night after night The hunt goes on What once we feared We have become We cannot see Do you hear our cries? Oh, mercy please Grant us eyes Led astray Gods betray They cared not for our lives Mere pawns for their design Much worse the chosen few Who helped them reproduce We must risk life and limb To wash away our sins We'll tread the astral planes 'Til every god is slain The orphan's first to fall Beginning of it all Return now to the sea Be finally set free The spider tries to hide But we won't be denied It's time to see the truth Your veil has been removed The child of the tombs Torn from its mother's womb Crushing your formless guard We return to the hunter's graveyard Foul presence of the moon Face three third cords Your judgment's coming soon And we will be reborn Captives of the nightmare Minions of the dream

about

Let Us Pray consists of 7 tracks with a total runtime of 51 minutes. Its music and lyrics are inspired by the story and atmosphere of the video game Bloodborne.

As such, the overall sound of the album departs somewhat from previous releases in order to fit the new subject matter. Soulmass let melodeath and gothic progressive death metal bands like Insomnium, In Mourning, and Opeth sneak their influences in to create a more melodic and dynamic experience, while the brutality of the band's signature blend of death/doom remains the overall sonic backbone.
