Emerging into the death metalscene in 1987 from Florida, USAunder the name of Amon, they quickly became one of the most successful Death Metal bands of all time. After releasing two demos as "Amon," they changed their name to Deicidein 1990 and released their self-titled album shortly afterwards. Only two original members of the band remain: Glen Benton (bass/vocals)and Steve Asheim (drums); and Jack Owen on the guitar. Glen Benton, whose controversial lyrics cover such topics as Satan and death, showed his hatred for Christianity by pressing a red-hot inverted cross to his forehead until his skin scarred in that shape. The manner of Glen Benton's antichristianity has been a matter of debate for Deicide fans even from the early days of the band.

Go Now Your Lord Is Dead Lyrics

Deicide

Holy bible, instrument of death, book of fools and ignorance
Without a trace, to the other side, faith in god atlas has died.
Aged and faded, Christianity, dying down in it's disease,
Heaven hated, never know his love, leave you where you have begun,
Testaments to the contradiction, death to you for the souls you save, unify his masses.
Sacrifice to the crucifixion; you deserved to die this way,
Go now your lord is dead.
Human failure, Christians crucified, on the cross of Christ design,
God's creation, rule this world with lies, and the truth will leave you blind,
No more Jesus, evil axe to grind, choose the path that we desire.
Christ religion, genocide is near watch your churches disappear.
Condescending ancient wisdom, solitude begot this day,
The light surpassing,
Without a place of worship, the sheep have been displaced,
Go now your lord is dead
