Notes to players: Don?t let the seeming simplicity of this song fool you. While there are few riffs, to play
this tight and aggressively as a band would take lots of practice.  This is power thrash at it?s mightiest.
Mind you, it?s not as difficult as playing pre-Black Album Metallica (not that I listen to that stuff
anymore) but then, this is Grindcore with attitude.  Play it as such, and let the power be felt, and heard.


Lyrics
Given the time to repent they fail to reply, to the just and holy one they now await to die.
God?s enemies will lick the dust, a fact they futily deny.  He holds them in derision, in vain they rage
against the Christ.

Instruments of Death (x2)

They set their face against His way, inward they are destruction.  Mock insults they do hurt, they care not
for the instruction.
They?ll answer for their every word unless they turn to Him.  He wait?s for them in mercy before the slaying
begins.
He bends the bow and also prepares the instruments of death.  He?ll use in the final war, give up before it
begins

Instruments of Death (x2)

They set their face against His way, inward they are destruction.  Mock insults they do hurt, they care not
for the instruction.
God is a just judge, angry with the wicked every day.  If you do not turn back you will face the day.
When you stand before Him in a fear you can?t conceive.  He beckons you to check the facts so that you will
believe.
We ask not that you take some blind leap in the dark, Our faith is based on fact, God doesn?t miss the mark.
The fact is that He still cares enough to tell you once again.  Come into the fold, join the force of God.
Not to die, but to live.
