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.

Worst Enemy Lyrics

Deicide

You are not a friend of mine, spare the fucking gospel time
Try to turn the world around, lord's direction has you down
Adolescent intellect, fearful of this crucifix
Is the bliss of what you gain worth a lifetime here in pain?
Every day is nothing new, another bible verse for you
Couldn't deal what life has dealt, it's always blaming someone else
Fool yourself, you think he cares
Contradiction, it is there
Wither from the inside out
Destiny with god in doubt
On the cross he died for sin
Look around, what did he win?
Preach your hell and you will see
You are your worst enemy
The lord is dead, jesus, where have you gone?
Retreat to greed, indeed, you are his son
Prepare for death, confess, is it pretend?
Killing yourselves for god, he is your friend?
All you life a testament, walking ornament of him
Is forgiveness what you need, give in to hymn too easily
Indecision you behold, live in torment as you're told
Sanctify this will of god by everything you've ever done
Will you ever know defeat, blinded by the agony
Never sure of what you feel, the world you live in is not real
Fool yourself, you think he cares
Contradiction it is there
Wither from the inside out
Destiny with god in doubt
On the cross he died for sin
Look around, what did he win?
Preach your hell and you will see
You are your worst enemy
The lord is dead, jesus, where have you gone?
Retreat to greed, indeed, you are his son
Prepare for death, confess, is it pretend?
Killing yourselves for god, he is your friend?
