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.

Pathetic lives, every second someone dies
Delightful is the sight of repention
No destiny, just a certainty of death
In pain inducing lies of salvation
Never repent.....
Born to be dead
Repent to die
Ignorance looms in the unconscious mind
Born to be dead
Repent to die
Waste your last breath on the lord jesus christ
Repent to die
Afraid of what lies after death
Your screams are unheard to Him
Resisting your wake of adorn
Your pleading falls deaf on your lord
[Lead: Brian]
"Go fuck your god" will be my final word
To die is just the concept of living
To be Forgave, salvation blessed with pain
Endeavored is the blame of creation
[Repeat first verse
