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.

Vengeance Will Be Mine Lyrics

Deicide

[Lead...]
Vengeance will be mine, take what is yours and leave you to die,
Fortune unachieved, riddled with spite, destroying your life,
Liar that you are, facing yourself; you think you're a star,
Backstab you will see, standing alone, and loosing your dream,
After you and me, what will you do, when nothing's for free?
Patient as can be, washing my hands, of this whole fuckin' thing,
This is what you want; It is what you wish,
Throw away the one, I will not forgive,
Never was it true, anything you said,
Once I'm rid of you, turn your life to shit,
Vengeance will be mine, satisfy my sign.
[Lead...]
Vengeance will be mine, no holding back when I'm dealing with time,
Extort reasoning; suffer a loss like you cannot believe,
Damage has begun, wasting away in your world of just one,
Laughter in your ears, driving you mad, it all disappears,
The end I see, never recover from what has to be.
Settle the score, denied my presence, will be my reward.
This is what you want; it is what you wish,
Throw away the one, I will not forgive,
Never was it true, anything you said,
Once I'm rid of you, turn your life to shit,
Vengeance will be mine, a testament to time.
