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.

Let It Be Done Lyrics

Deicide

[Lead...]
False prophet you appear to be enslaved,
Make this world disappear no one forgave,
Take us into the light what gives you right?
I will not be divine, or live a lie.
Murder god, slash his thought, crush his cross, Lucifer
There's only one that we believe, it is not god, he Is a thief,
Hang them to bleed, him and his son, never in need, let it be
done.
Kill the shepherd of the flock, I condemn my soul to rot, mass
confusion caused by god, rearrange the way we love,
Hate thy neighbor if you please, redefine our unity,
Praise god you might disappear, to back beyond,
No more living in fea; the light is gone,
Think why instead of who and face your death,
Our time has come to be, evil is free.
Murder god, slash his thought, crush his cross, Lucifer
There's only one that we believe, it is not god, he is a thief,
Hang them to bleed, him and his son, never in need, let it be
done.
