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.

Arrive on earth, from our past have returned
Not his child, christians in denial
His rule undone, we are their creation
The truth above does not know your savior
Unidentified evolution
Fallen truth, break the god illusion
Out of faith will revive with reason
Synchronize this world we live in
[Lead: Brian]
The truth coming will destroy his story
Not of this earth, we are part of research
Christian hunted, end of god confronted
The truth above, we are part who they are
Key to life is the question answered
Fly into never known advancement
Out of ignorance running rampant
Sterilizing us from disaster
