Notes to players: Donıt 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 itıs mightiest.  
Mind you, itıs 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.
Godıs 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.
Theyıll answer for their every word unless they turn to Him.  He waitıs for them in mercy before the slaying 
begins.
He bends the bow and also prepares the instruments of death.  Heıll 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 canıt 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 doesnıt 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.
