Breathing murder upon the early church Destruction, the new faith to hurt Fueled by zeal, a twisted perception Creating disorder, a morbid obsession Profession of faith to persecute From heaven a voice, journey refute Falling to the ground To arise without sight Holy Spirit fill, falling scales from smite Conspiracy to kill, voice of conversion Speaking freely, a bold proclamation Fueled by zeal, focused perception Creating faith

Another phase Next step Who’s guess? What’s next? Gotta figure out what to do Another year Seasons turn Wheel spinnin’ Gears burn Won’t believe the hell I’ve been through You call this life? It’s not living. Broken down Face first Pushed aside Eat dirt Just another day in the life Bigger bills Smaller gains Rents due Hunger pains Gotta be something more to life You call this life? It’s not living.

(1 Thess. 5:23, Col. 3:17) (1 Thess. 5:10-28) (Spirit: John 4:24, Rom. 1:9, John 3:5-6, 1 Cor. 6:17) (Soul: Matt. 16:26, 2 Cor. 3:18) (Body: Rom. 8:11 & 13, Phil. 3:21) Third Prayer: Take my anger, Take my hate, Let me live a righteous fate. (Eph. 4:22-32, Rom. 5:17) Take my sorrow, Take my pain, Let me die and live again. (When I die let me live eternally with God.) (Phil. 1:20-21, Rom. 6:5, 8:11 NIV, John 5:24) Chorus (Second Prayer Repeated): Take My Spirit, Receive My Soul. Take My Spirit, Through Christ My Lord.

You will never understand my hate Can't see you anymore I don't love you I choose I choose to fail. Can't see you anymore I don't love you Every door is locked I can't get out help Every choice has failed I cant get out help Cant find a way out Every door is locked I can't get out help Every choice has failed I can't get out help Crippled by what people see So little left of me This hope fades this is the cost Takes this all from me Every door is locked I can't get out help Cant find a way out Every choice has failed I can't get out help Can't find a way out

Majestic as a dove adorned Bathed in unearthly light He captivates the self-absorbed With rapturous delight Reassuring peace in Eden Poised upon the spire To thrust upon his prideful clones In danger of the fire Seductive in his flattery The humanistic lure Exaltation of the nature Diagnosed impure Stoking fires of conceit The spirit of this age Idolized for their success The seer and the sage Claiming to be of The Christ They are the serpent's clones Feeding on the souls of men Exalted on their thrones They elevate the place of man And feed their self-esteem Polishing the golden calf Majestically it gleams A cross adorned with glitter A sideshow to be scorned Appealing to the wounded And pursuing the forlorn The stroking of the ego Deception is the fodder Fattening the souls of men Enticed into his slaughter Blurring the chasm Between human and divine With self adorning altars Where they sacrifice the swine The shepherds are complicit In this feeding of the beast Filling up the chalice For the wolves who host the feast Self image defined By the dross exposed through fire Having the form But resisting His power Turn away Humility is ravaged With prosperity and ease The idols of this fallen world To which we now appease Sacrificing sons and daughters To this wretched fire Self-deceived we have become Adorned with the attire Of deception Ichabod (The glory has departed)

Behold I make all things new No more shall good be called evil Nor evil be called good Write this down, for my words are faithful and true. It is finished I Am The Alpha and Omega The beginning and end Do not be afraid I’m the First and Last And the Holy One I was dead and behold I Am alive forevermore Forevermore! Do not tremble Do not be afraid Did I not proclaim this And foretell it long ago? You are my witnesses Is there any other God? No there is no other Rock No not one It is finished I Am The Alpha and Omega The beginning and end Do not be afraid I’m the First and Last And the Holy One I was dead and behold I Am alive forevermore Forevermore! The Spirit of the Lord is on me Because He has anointed Me To proclaim freedom To throw our chains down To bring everlasting peace It is finished I Am The Alpha and Omega The beginning and end Do not be afraid I’m the First and Last And the Holy One I was dead and behold I Am alive forevermore Forevermore!

SO! You feel that you are dead: seeing all the endless struggle in the hearts of men who cannot find The Light of Christ and who will never see the fruits of Heaven – Presumed Dead! Caught in snag you can’t free. Look to The Light and you shall see. Life lies in a change of heart. Heal the wounds that evil tore apart. Many die in sin and suffer because they didn’t know The Truth. Presumed Dead you didn’t know that (through) Christ you’re forgive you for your sins. SO! You think that you are dead: denial leads to endless torment in the lake of fire where you’re trapped eternity and cannot stop your flesh from burning higher! Resist the devil and he will flee. Salvation lies in the power to see. In the end defiance leads to death. A lifeless soul that will never rest. Without Christ you’re on Death Row living and just waiting to die. Many never know that through Christ you gain eternal life. You’re Presumed Dead! You’re Presumed Dead You’re Presumed Dead? (The scream of a dying man) SO! You think that you are dead: seeing all the endless struggle in the hearts of men who cannot find The Light of Christ and who will never see the fruits of Heaven. Caught in snag you can’t free. Look to The Light and you shall see. Life lies in a change of heart. Heal the wounds that evil tore apart. Without Christ you’re on Death Row living and just waiting to die. Presumed dead you didn’t know that (through) Christ you’re forgiven for your sins. You’re Presumed Dead! You’re Presumed Dead! (Dead?) You’re Presumed Dead! (Dead!) You’re Presumed Dead! D E A D! J E S U S I S L O R D!!!

The satanic Luciferian‘s of the global banking system is destroying the world They're keeping us divided till we become one under their new world order (ruled by the antichrist) It never ends, the cycle of sin must die The earth groans, end the cycle The heavens quake End the cycle of sin that’s plagued us for so long America is under spiritual warfare We are all being manipulated with fear We are all enslaved by a system that exploits our human nature There is no one that is woke We are all blinded That is why we must reach for Christ History is evident, we always fail without Him I boast in the power of Christ Kill the pride that tells me otherwise The inventions of man are never-ending So I’ll stick to the one that’s never changing, never failing Is there time to be brought back Will, there be a remnant saved We have eyes that can’t see and ears that can’t hear Where are the sons and daughters calling out to the Lord? The end is the beginning And the beginning is the end It’s an endless cycle of sin Follow the One who broke it

Did you say A lifetime ago Turn away, hide the strange When you could only love the wrong way Did you say It’s our turn to go All the way, all the way But you could never kill your own pain I’ve been living underground For 10 years I won’t build it burn it down You’ll disappear We go, we go alone And you’ll be Consumed, burned to ash Call my name, pray for rain But you were never drowning this flame And you’ll be The last in the fire All the way, all the way And you will never ever escape You kill by the light of the moon You’re burying the truth The old stains That won't wash away Are all that remains They stay with me, pray with me And you’ll be the last memory Tossed in the fire You’ll be the last memory Tossed in the fire You'll disappear

Dancing with Demons and Satan in Hell The ringing echoes from the chastened bells From this bottomless pit I always dwell Dancing with Demons and Satan in Hell

Reborn into an unforgiving world I’ve got a second chance But how can I survive when everything wants me to die? With wolves around each corner The only way is up Chainsaws and chainmail are still no protection from their cuts So climb on words of ancients Keep your sights set up high Escape to safety in the sky Our lives lay between jaws of evil Only truth can snatch us away Our hearts are haunted by the sins of tomorrow Only love will bring the light of day The stones the teeth of a hungry earth Gnashing with my every step in the dirt One slip and I’ll find myself in the fangs Their constant threat draws my eye to the grave Battered and burnt, I’ve got my back to the wall Surrounded by wolves on the hunt Why give me life just to watch me die Have you abandoned me? Or where is my... Escape by the bridges you built before, you plotted years ago I saw construction but found no worth until at deaths door But I’m not ever safe Until I’m in you arms I’ll find another threat Teach me to be strong Waves rise and break Break skin and poison the blood within Find shelter from soil and sea alike And just find a way to climb

Light the match and watch me burn Did you think you could turn your back on me like this, and I’d leave unscathed? All that you have betrayed in this family Did you really think everything could ever be the same? As I walk into the flames of everything you’re leaving behind I know my heart will rise again And as you run away to your own destruction I’ll be here reborn from the ashes I’ll be here reborn in the ashes Burn in your disloyalty Burn in the ashes of the family you tried to discard
17.
In that day When we’re No more Plagued and This world is over When the sin Doesn’t tempt us Losing its hold When the son Brings redemption We are atoned We are atoned On that day We say good bye To all the Pain and suffering When the sin Doesn’t tempt us Losing its hold When the son Brings redemption We are atoned We are atoned When the king Rewards us Crowns us New life Just rest I’m this with us You troubled Mind You’re worthy Of you’re reward Focus Your mind On Christ Alone Focus Your mind On Christ Alone

Death and sacrilege Hateful and rife with envy Wrought by fallen man And common enemy Deceived, by serpents lies We traded glory in exchange for opened eyes, for opened eyes Defiant and dissident Our feet now swift to shed the blood Of the innocent, fulfilling shameful passions Lost, a helpless race Content rebellion as we spit in the fathers face Take these scales from our eyes Take these scales from our eyes We severed ties No reconciliation The bridge is burning on our side we hold the flames All set ablaze beyond all restitution As we burn shackled in our self made chains No shame to hide Self righteous grand delusion Practicing evil and approval of the same Avoid the blame Shift the guilt and call it goodness Creation groaning since the day we came a promise made a promise kept In the garden as we fell The only way for Him to reconcile The unrighteous to Himself No remission for the sin of man Without the shedding of blood The Lord’s provision of a spotless lamb His own son, His own son Sacrificed So we can call on His name And be found in Him the one who was slain Sacrificed So we can call on His name And be found in Him the lamb who was slain Behold the lamb who takes away our sin For those now unbelieving For those with pride For those now bound to evil Be reconciled For those, whose god is self For those naive Good news revealed in Jesus Repent, believe!

Be sober-minded Prowling devil Roaring lion Adversary seeking Someone to Devour Someone to Devour Someone to Devour Someone to Devour Pride and arrogance Born of humility Actions indifferent Adversary seeking Someone to Devour Someone to Devour Someone to Devour Someone to Devour Cast all your cares Christ cares for you Be clothed in humility Adversary seeking Someone to Devour

When time and tide has failed you And the oceans have all run dry I pray return to the shore For the treasure in the sand Closed off hearts and clouded minds are The result when we seek for things of this world We've become slaves to our possessions We need regeneration Strength for today Hope for tomorrow Strength for today And hope for tomorrow These roads once travelled lay abandoned Who will stand by His side As we weather the storms of this fallen world You can't wait at the crossroads Waiting for the winds to change is death I will not let this world take what's left of me Casting off this misery Putting faith in eternity If you abide in Me, My words abide in you Ask for whatever you wish it will be done for you Strength for today And hope for tomorrow These roads once travelled lay abandoned Who will stand by His side As we weather the storms of this fallen world You can't wait at the crossroads Waiting for the winds to change is death

I've been broken, left with scarcely more than nothing I am damaged,a spectre of my former self I am empty, hollow shell of who I once was I am nothing, can I move beyond this pain Sorrow shrouding my mind Fear and doubt torment me Search for meaning inside Emptiness surrounds me Aimless, struggle to find Purpose and direction Hollow shell of a man Hopelessness consumes me Stand up warrior, hold your ground against affliction Stand firm rooted, in this storm that comes to test you Stay strong, fearless, in these times of tribulation Steadfast you will learn to rise above the darkness Stand up and you will find purpose and direction Focus, settle your mind You will find protection Brace for troubles to come darkness may assail you You will weather the storm courage will avail you. I am stronger, I will weather all misfortune I am braced for, all the strife that comes my way I'll not tremble, when a storm appears to test me I will not bend, when misfortune seeks to break me

Come enter the masquerade As the head guest of this foul charade Before the crowd you appear Clothed in white for you they cheer The crown sacrifice To appease the gods The chosen one, goat without horns A mockery of the crown of thorns All eyes on you, just play your part From this earth you'll soon depart Follow the path, don't break the norm Do not stifle the trance of the swarm Around the altar the obscured elders stand Behind one mask a river of tears is shed You wear the veil of pretense to hide the aching core The pain will not kill you, it will make you whole Tear it off or die

Movement of misled desires Inviting calamitous woes Conjuring illicit fire Spellbound by ravenous crows Casting their lots with legions of serpents Feeding on venomous lies Deceived deceivers - professing believers Who revel in Eden's demise Apostasy brags of its unity While In league with the children of Cain The Scarlet Beast's Whore boasts impunity Yet she's drunk on the blood of the saints Light deemed as darkness Darkness as light Slaves to desire - chaff for the fire Who curse the true children of light Sola Gratia Sola fide Legions of fools See the suffering servant And depreciate his pain The self-righteous pawn strikes the mouth of the wiseman And seals his fate with the slain Casting his stones With prophets and priests while crushing the knees of the lame Revelling in madness The heretic's gloating Without a sliver of shame Unified through deception Casting out discernment with contention Lured by the purest of intentions Blurring the foundations of redemption Sola Gratia Sola Fide
