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.

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

Scarlet Oath - Ichabod
07:44

|

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)

Jonava - The Holy One

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)

You’re Presumed Dead! You’re Presumed Dead! (Dead?)
You’re Presumed Dead! (Dead!) You’re Presumed Dead!

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

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

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
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

Eonia - Crossroads

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
