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.

Lurking Amoung Us Lyrics

Deicide

[Lead...]
Lurking among us, attracted by blood, hating the world for its
love of a god, anciently ordered a soldier for death, stomping
on Christians and raising the dead.
Christian swine, beat and blessed, crucified,
Christ was wrong, saints be gone, genocide,
Hand in hand, it is time, suicide.
Die, kill, rupture a vain, once and for all into silence you'll stay,
Lord, god, splattered remains, the inquisition of heavens ordained.
[Lead...]
Lurking among us, inveteration, angel of evil, slaughtering nun's
Ridding the world of pretentious scum,
Collecting debts, in the name of Satan,
Blackest knight, blessing flesh, bleeding shrines,
Broken necks, missing eyes, tortured blind,
Crucifix, don't exist, we survive.
Dark lord master to me, Father Lord Satan I do as you please,
Find god, death comes to he, tear out his heart and together we'll
feast.
[Lead...]
Lurking among us, on trinity feed, chop off the head of the Christian
belief, Impaling saints, demonstrate, his legion, render of fate,
terminate, for Satan.
Ritual, Sacrifice, doomed with Christ,
Kill the lights, come to life, horrify,
Wager war; trash the cross, open minds.
Wipe god off of the earth, cleansing creation, rejecting his word,
Satan, ruler of all, let us indulge in the fruits of their fall,
[Lead...]
