Holy warfare...
Ironic decimation.
Hate labeled as peace...
A demonic feast...
In the name of God.
Pretty straight forward, but I like it.
I especially like the lines:

"The way they can take...
This beautiful concept...
And make it a deathtrap."

They create a brutal contrast, and paints images in my head (not very peaceful images, though).
Personally, I would have written it more like this:

"The way this beautiful concept
becomes a deathtrap"

...or something like that. It creates a more dramatic and drastic change of mood. But that's just my thoughts.
Other than that, the only thing I can comment is that it's, as said before, pretty straight forward. I would personally like a text about religion without using the words "God", "Holy warfare" and such.
But again, that's just my opinion.

I'll read more of your lyrics soon.
Sorry for not commenting earlier, I've been very stressed out lately
