Track 1 from the 1992 Confession of Faith release
As i Hung
I’m in Love
Running through the forest
Bleeding all around
Bodies lay naked
Strewn upon the ground
Running through the graveyard
Running past the tomb
Where love lies dead
Bleeding from her womb
Dieing in this sickness
Where darkness hangs above
My sores are gaping open
For now I’m in love
Running from the vampires
Hiding in the mist
Surrendering my love
For death’s lips I kissed
Running from the woman
Haunting in my head
Chaining me upon love’s
Forsaken bed
Oh, I’m in love

i pray for sleep
Track 2 from the 1992 Confession of Faith release
As i Hung
I Pray for Sleep
I’m twisting away
Like yesterday
I reached out my hand for her
And saw her hand on mine
And saw nothing but a ghost
Whose bitter-sweet lips
Tasted like wine
I saw the ghost from afar
Whose name I know not
Watching her eyes
Transfixed on me
Her mouth drawn and taut
I pray for sleep if only short
But I’m drawn close to her
I close my eyes to wish her gone
The ghost of mine in splendour
Help me I scream
To the world growing cold
As I reached up to grab the ghost
And found my own soul cold
I found it cold

The Rain Will Never Cease to Fall
Track 3 from the 1992 Confession of Faith release
As i Hung
The Rain Will Never Cease to Fall
Whispered Words on the wind
And I was not the one
Softly fold and softly slide
Underneath the sun
Like ancient walls and towers
Or birds that fall in flight
Creeping words and creeping thoughts
Slither through the night
The rain will never cease to fall
The sun will never shine
But in this very dark my dear
I still can’t find the time
Falling tears and pedals
Shatter on my floor
Hungry men and children
Pounding on my door

As i Hung
Track 4 from the 1992 Confession of Faith release
As i Hung
As I Hung
As I hung by my neck in the bottomless pit
The words which you said that didn’t mean shit
Came back to me as I saw your face
Burn with disgust in this unholy place
I fought and I gasped for every last breath
Rejecting the fear and welcoming death
My phallic image being casted by light
Forgetting all else and recalling that night
That night I saw you dance in the fire
When my heart yearned for your every desire
I desired to see and to taste your skin
To hold you tight like a siamese twin
I can’t I screamed as the thin rope frayed
As I fell in your heart grotesque and decayed
Grotesque and decayed

There is a Lady Sweet and Kind
Track 5 from the 1992 Confession of Faith release
As i Hung
There is a lady Sweet and Kind
There is a Lady sweet and kind,
Was never face so pleased my mind;
I did but see her passing by,
And yet I love her till I die.
Her gesture, motion, and her smiles,
Her wit, her voice my heart beguiles,
Beguiles my heart, I know not why,
And yet I love her till I die.
Cupid is wingèd and doth range,
Her country so my love doth change:
But change she earth, or change she sky,
Yet will I love her till I die.

The Sacrament
Track 1 from the 1993 Confession of Faith release
The Sacrament
The Sacrament
You tell me this is love I feel
Beside your nakedness I knee
Entwined in this sickening bliss
And praying for my saviors kiss
You say salvation will never die
Beneath your naked skin I lie
I know you see the tears I shed
But laughingly you turn your head
You fuck me for the love of skin
How worthless I know my life has been
You bathe me then in love’s disease
That pulls me to my helpless, my helpless knees
Chained upon your lonely bed
You fuck me while the tears I shed
Cloud my eyes that know not love
That see salvation far, so far above
Please taste death upon my tongue
For it’s by you that love was hung
So cold my soul upon the floor
Raping love you made a whore
Should we really be in love
"The Sacrament" This is part 3 of the winter 1995 Confession of Faith performance at Ground Zero in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This performance was done during the time COF was negotiating their way onto the Triple X Records compilation "Dim View of the Future". Dark and ominous are crutial elements in a COF performance. This song is from the ep "The Sacrament".
'The Sacrament' This is very Confession of Faith, dark lighting, the intense aural, industrial cascade. This song is from The Sacrament ep. The crowd seems very intense due to the fact that this was performed in the lunchroom for the 1993 Jefferson High School Battle of the Bands and most of the students probably hadn't seen or heard music like this.

Like Judas
Track 2 from the 1993 Confession of Faith release
The Sacrament
Like Judas
By your purity rise us all and from your sickening love I fall
I pray for love but from love I fall
Weep my child in this sickened delight
And pray salvation to my endless night
For over life I chose this power
For the taste of love had turned sour
You have turned away from me your head
And left me drowning in the tears I shed
Like a dying child to you I clung
Wanting someone I had hung
I’m so diseased I’m so diseased
Will you still love me
With a kiss like Judas I betray
My salvation consumed in decay
I know I was so sickening
I know love I will yearn
As I fell from grace
You did turn
You have watched me slowly as I bled
My sickening love from your withered bed
And all I love does seem to die
So here alone I do cry
Please dear god my eyelids close
I gave my love a blackened rose
She took this flower and turned so old
Love to me is so cold
So weep my child is this sickened delight
And pray salvation to my endless night
For over life I chose this power
For the taste of love had turned sour

Cain
Track 3 from the 1993 Confession of Faith release
The Sacrament
Cain
How I lust
As your life slips away
And all that is left
Is the stench of decay
Staring down into the pit of damnation
Knowing I’ll never find my salvation
But through he last drowning breath
This hunger I fill for I am your death
God save my soul
My love lasts forever
Shrouded in sackcloth
She now stands
For I am the blessed
And I am the damned
Thriving off her tears of joy
I come not in love
But come to destroy
The woman who welcomed my as her guest
That now lies twisted bleeding and undressed
God save my soul
My love lasts forever
Because of Cain I am grotesque
For I am the damned and I am the blessed
The cerements of immortality embrace
All who are of this kindred race
Given the kiss that longs the day
That buries me deep in the stench of decay
God save me

Hallowed
Track 4 from the 1993 Confession of Faith release
The Sacrament
Hallowed
Falling from the face of god
Pulling my heart into despair
Isolation leaves me cold
So empty are the hands of prayer
The hands of prayer they bleed my skin
And pull me underneath again
Into your lips that softly say
Fuck me once again I stray
So delicate inside your skin
The hands of prayed they call again
To your ears that hear no pain
Praying are the hands in vain
Shattered are the memories
That slowly sink into despair
Placing faith in empty words
Forsaken are the hands of prayer
'Hallowed' What is amusing here is the school's mascot and decorations as well as the very standard guitar solo that is heard before COF performs. This is very Confession of Faith, dark lighting, the intense, aural, industrial cascade. This song is from The Sacrament ep. The crowd seems very intense due to the fact that this was performed in the High School lunchroom for the 1993 Jefferson High School Battle of the Bands and most of the students probably hadn't seen or heard music like this.
This is Confession of Faith performing to victory at the 1993 Minnesota Highschool Battle of the Bands at the Mirage. COF took sole first place. 2 bands tied for second place and 2 bands tied for third but COF one by themselves. What is amusing is that after COF performed, they immediately left the competition only finding out that they had won while they were returning their gear at home. The prize was free studio recording time. The songs we played were 'Hallowed' and 'Dominatrix'.

Lord of the Flies
Track 5 from the 1993 Confession of Faith release
The Sacrament
Lord of the Flies
Is it I that you look for
As the darkness consumes
For it is I that withers all that’s in bloom
I am the Lord, Lord of the flies
I am the angel of death
Do you not see
As you lower your dress
And stand longingly
To embrace this disease that hungers in me
I am the Lord of the flies
Standing in this unhallowed place
You lift your lips to kiss my face
Can you not see it’s your death you embrace
My eyes are clouded by the tears I shed
I beg of thee to turn your head
Away from death’s eternal wed
Can you not see I’m the angel of death
For with my lips I consume your breath
And then I ask
Do you feel me inside

Dominatrix
Track 6 from the 1993 Confession of Faith release
The Sacrament
Dominatrix
As the dead leaves fall
On the pale wet ground
The screaming of the voices
Echoes all around
And the taste of pain
Holds on my tongue
And all who do not kneel
Are brought here and hung
In the red room
With the white walls
Standing here naked
The virgins bring bread
To murder the few that tried
That tainted the red
In the red room
With the white walls
Rape me in this red lit room
My vision of love a diseased womb
Rape me and it feels so good
It feels so good and I know it should
Twist with me in this tainted reign
Among the tears and among the pain
I realize that nothings new
And I’m chained to the wall
Bleeding for you

This is is an amusing juxtapose of Confession of Faith showing school spirit to help collect food. What makes this funny is how out of place the music is to the environment, from the thanking of the band before us (All the President's Men - the first band I formed) by saying all of their names wrong, to the introduction of the captains of school spirit. Another amusing element are the areas of the performance that are recorded over by news clips. This is a classic COF live performance. Also included are jeers and insults hurled at us the musicians like most of our performances. 'Dominatrix' is the song we played. This is a rather industrial/metal tune of ours.

Do You Love Pain
Track 1 from the 1995 Confession of Faith release
Do You Love Pain
Do You Love Pain
Covered in sackcloth dripping with red
The promise of love as she enters my bed
Do you like pain she says with a kiss
I cover my eyes enshrouded in bliss
Do you love pain
Do you love me
She says on her knees
How can I love
What I can never believe
Take then my hand and drown in my eyes
Believe this is love
Salvation through lies
Do you love pain
Do you love me
For one more night I feel love’s skin
As I open my arms
And embrace her again
I feel my heart raped again by her tongue
As I watch love wither
As slowly she hung
Do you love pain
Do you love me
Now
"Do You Love Pain" This is part 5 of the winter 1995 Confession of Faith performance at Ground Zero in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

You Will be Mine
Track 2 from the 1995 Confession of Faith release
Do You Love Pain
You Will be Mine
You will be mine
And I’m on top again
And I know you’ll undress me
As the day drags on she says
Will you untie me
You step in time
I follow you
Your little legs
I say it won’t hurt this time
But your tears invite me
Please let me be inside
Please let me be inside
Please
Dance again
When I taste of your skin
Slowly my sorrows wane
And I see love as that which is not in vane
But then with each time I pray it my last
To god I entreat death for I am unchaste
Oh I’m so tired
Of love that tastes so stale
Nothing will be given to me
But you I will always have
You won’t turn me away I know
Will you crawl to me
You will love me I say
Will you let me inside of you
Please let me be inside
Please
Dance again
Love was meant for a girl like you
When I taste of your skin
Slowly my sorrows wane
And I see love as that which is not in vane
But then with each time I pray it my last
To god I entreat death for I am unchaste
Dance again

Love was meant for a girl like you
When I taste of your skin
Slowly my sorrows wane
And I see love as that which is not in vane
But then with each time I pray it my last
To god I entreat death for I am unchaste
Dance again
Love was meant for a girl like you

Day of a Thousand Years
Track 3 from the 1995 Confession of Faith release
Do You Love Pain
Day of a Thousand Years
Thicker grows the stifling air
I solation bends my knee s in prayer
Love heals not my soul so cold
In empty nest my skin was sold
In contrition my empty soul
And from me in a sense she stole
So now alone severed from god
Sent forth I am to the land of nod
I am forsaken
Without hope
Love deceives me not in my fears
I feel this day the weight of a thousand years
So cold I grow with the darkening sky
Absolve dear lord penitent am I
I am forsaken
Without hope
Salvation is lost to my arrogant tears
I wish my prayers fell upon god’s ears
Weary I grow at a quickening pace
I fear I have fallen from god’s grace
God I am forsaken
Without hope
I do love god

lower
Track 1 from the 1996 Confession of Faith release
i am god's chosen
Lower
Recede back and the ground gives way
I stumble left in dismay
For I am righteous and my deeds are of good
But only a sinner has breathed where i’ve stood
So feast thee with thine eyes
And view my sins with due accord
And see the path of a wretched man
Whose raised himself above the lord
When we all find ourselves kneeling before
Well surely love will reign even then
Let’s stack us our accomplishments beside god
Amounting nothing
For we’re all damned
So I’ll build me an idol
And on it’s shoulders I’ll place my head
Caress it I will and lay my soul at it’s feet dead

i am god's chosen
Track 2 from the 1996 Confession of Faith release
i am god's chosen
I am god’s chosen
Why do I feel so cold and pray death on bended knee
My hands to god I longingly hold and pray
For the love of christ
I built the tower of babel to reach god
And no longer thirst
So how is this when my lips touch her skin
I reach god first
Do you see me stumble
And fall further away from god
I raise my hands to heaven and pray
For the love of christ
This is god’s way
Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani
For the love of christ
I somehow find myself on my knees before the lord
And all he sees is sin and I know I am abhorred
He shows to me my life and hell that waits me then
I plead forgiveness for I am god’s chosen

wither
Track 3 from the 1996 Confession of Faith release
i am god's chosen
Wither
I slowly turn laying virtue asunder
Entreating love come hither (to me)
Standing before her clad in disease
I see all things wither in her
My fleeting eyes see her with deathly pallor
My worthlessness brings me here to lie
I fill my cup over with deceit
I see all things die
In her eyes I see hordes writhing without aim
In her eyes I see tears that are only for my shame
Show to me love for it’s nowhere to be found
There buried shallowly beneath the ground (in her)
In her eyes I see hordes writhing without aim
In her eyes I see tears that are only for my shame
Here I stand complacency upon my lips while harboring
Fear and loathing, self-deception
Vanity whose lips are so sweet
Then I feed these pale children
Cowering before me like dogs
I take their hands and lead them down
To view the setting of the sun
Where myself and the world
We decline as one

cinders
Track 4 from the 1996 Confession of Faith release
i am god's chosen
Cinders
The land lays veiled in our own stench
As we bid on that which we won’t clench
Into our hearts that we then might
See ourselves in only light
Torn and laid below
That which love did sow
Into the fields of latent joy
Inside our hearts that we destroy
With faith in ourselves so feebly we’ll stand
As withered children smitten to dirt
Will sin still sate my tongue
For I am lost
So proud I am of all that I have done
To sit and veil the dying son
For to myself I’ll draw and keep
And fall into life’s steep

sullen
Track 5 from the 1996 Confession of Faith release
i am god's chosen
Sullen
Will someone take my hand this night
And lead me through this endless plight
For love whose harlot eyes I see
In waves that spiral down on me
Behold, enfold the king of the land
Where love lies dead
All things laid in pristine rows
But nothing in this garden grows
And as like filth that I taste
Upon my life laying in waste
Uplift my heart and bathe anew
For drown in offalness I do
But it is I who brings the rain
And with my knees I detain
Anything that for love there stands
I sit on high and make demands
Then I see it drain
And circle down on me like rain
Raise me up in all my beauty in all my luster
Bathe me in gold
Then I’ll come and sit upon my throne
Where I shall judge over my empire, where is it now,
For as I am enshrouded by cries
I’ve come to find the tears they are all mine, for I am lost,
Kneeling from the weight of my life
With my skin in the dirt and my soul in the fire

Eastgo
Track 1 from the spring 1999 Confession of Faith release
Children of a Dying Sun
dissension clamours within my heart
stilling Love's attempt to impart
Grace, Peace, Love to my life and yet
it's feigned remorse stinging my eyes wet
if Hope did dwell within my heart
i have no grasp of it
for i do glorify myself
well that's just full of shit
as all that matters is Love
somehow i've stumbled into dominion over my will
over all that which i am, are you so different
are we not human, with the same child's heart
all longing Love until death
when we hold no more the reins
what the fuck are we then
then i hear said, dance for me Salome
and we shall see who is in chains and who is free
i hope that it's you pray that it is, in God
can you see to what extent our frailty does exist
and how in homage my knees are bent
but not towards Love for that i kissed for my gain
betraying any Hope beyond this my flesh of clay
as to what i see as Truth i only make delay
slash and burn elected turn away from what is everything
i see i have no footing left for me to stand on
