The struggle of overcoming your own mind.
Why’s it so hard to wrap your head around peace
My minds meddling deep in the abyss
God save me from my own mind
Time, what have you done with my mind?
Anxiety melting my mind
Depression flattening it in a paper-thin line
Thoughts bruising me in a constant cycle
Will it ever end cause it’s never-ending
I don’t want to die but my mind says other whys
It’s set in self-destruct, it can’t bear the weight
Is it my fault or am I a product of the past
Trying to heal, my mind, it’s not right
End it they say, just die they say
Why's it so hard to wrap my head around
Peace
My mind is meddling deep in the abyss
Lies, lies, telling me I need to forget
Get out of my head, you were never invited
But you’re still there
Who am I talking to
Where did you come from
Answer me
Lord lead me through my thoughts
I will lend you all my heart!
Your Word gives me peace
I know you can heal my mind
I pray, heal my mind
Please heal my mind
It’s been an uphill battle since I can remember
These thoughts are only getting darker
Christ, give me your light
Let me see through this
Time, time, what have you done with my mind
If I were to die today, would it make you happy
Mind, would it make you happy
I’ve got a vendetta against you
Out of vengeance, I refuse to kill you
I will lend you all my heart!
Your Word gives me peace
I know you can heal my mind
I pray, heal my mind
Please heal my mind
There’s so much I wanna say, so much on my mind
But there’s never any time
There’s never any time
There’s never any time
There’s never any time
There’s never any time

Scarlet Oath - Ichabod
07:45

|

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

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!

Roused from sleep
Mournful news is what you bring
I can hear it in your voice
I can see it in your eyes
If only you could see your sons holding their mother tight
They're falling to the ground
To the ground
Why didn't I see this coming?
I thought I knew you better than anyone
Please God calm the storm inside me
Is he there with You?
In that house there's an empty chair
Where you used to sit
Laughter filled the air
How could I have made things right?
How could I have made you stay?
Is there room in this casket for two?
It ought to be me not you
Is there room in this casket for two?
It ought to be me not you
Memories will fade
But my heart will never forget
Memories will fade
But my heart will never forget
Forget
In that house there's an empty chair
Where you used to sit
Laughter filled the air
How could I have made things right?
How could I have made you stay?
Is there room in this casket for two?
It ought to be me not you
Is there room in this casket for two?
It ought to be me not you

Channeling from beyond the border
Vision of new world order
Ratified by a yogic revelation
Commissioned via this psychic visitation
Appointed due to unknown causes
Knighted by foreign forces
Tethered into beings transcendent
Conveying with the ascended
Light and the shadow intertwine
Produce a taste of the divine
Ambrosia with a foul leaven
Will it open up the gates to Heaven
Quell the flames with a torch
Healing wounds with scented salts
Blind or malign, it matters not
Welcome to the communion of rot

Diatheke - Embraced
03:42
|
|

Embraced by evil
In this world of hate
Searching for love
That was not there
Nobody gave me
What I was looking for
The shadows fell before my eyes
And all of a sudden
I could only see black
Hate became real
Partaking in evil ceremonies
Worshipping the beast
Mocking God and His servants
Depression weighs upon me
With its strangling hands
I'm looking for a way out
As suicidal thoughts enter my mind
Surviving in a mysterious way
With demons haunting me
Every time I close my eyes
Embraced by the spirit of life
Accepting the sacrifice
That fills my heart with true love
The only way to be whole again
|

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

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

To Die Elsewhere - Climb
03:38
|
|
||
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
|

Will you reveal
Things that I feel?
Can you be real?
This is surreal
Skin slowly peels
Turning the wheel
Try to conceal
Sharpening steel
Real
Unreal
Real
Unreal
Twisting falling
Fractured Crawling
Are you real?
What is real?
Fractured inside
My mind is blind
Eyes open wide
Turning the tide
Sometimes I try
Look to the sky
Can't find my stride
Biding my time
Real
Unreal
Real
Unreal
Twisting falling
Fractured crawling
Are you real?
What is real?
Quantum entwined
Order of time
Fearing the climb
Egregious crime
Evolving sign
Lost in my prime
Thought paradigm
Death pantomime
Real
Unreal

Twisting falling
Fractured crawling
Are you real?

Verse One (Rev 20:11-15 NIV):
I saw a white throne and the one seated on it,
the earth and heavens fled from Him.
Then I saw the dead and they stood at the throne,
and the “book of life” was opened.
Then Death and Hades gave up their dead,
and each person was judged by their actions.
(each person was judged according to what they had done.)
Anyone whose name was not found in the book (of life),
was thrown into the lake of fire.
Bridge One (in three parts):
For those who don’t…accept the Son,
the wrath of God…remains on them,
(John 3:36 ESV)
a reckoning will come.
(Isa 2:12 NLT, 1 Pet. 4:5 NET Bible)
Judgement of all wrong!
Judgement of all wrong!
Judgement of all wrong!
(Eccles. 12:14 NIV, 2 Cor. 5:10 NLT, Matt. 16:27 NLT, Rom. 2:5 NIV)
Chorus (in three parts):
No! Escape!
NONE ESCAPE THE JUDGEMENT!
(1 Thess. 5:2-3 ESV, Rom. 2:3-11, 5:8-11 NIV, John 5:21-25 NIV)
Doomsday-Devastation,
Death, Destruction, Darkness & Despair.
(Zeph. 1:15)
Wickedness ends in wrath!
(Jer. 30:23 ESV, Rev. 6:16-17 NIV, Rom. 1:18 NIV)
A Day of Dread and Desolation,
Doom, Disaster, Darkness to Descend.
(Zeph. 1:15)
Evil will be destroyed! (Ps.94:23 CSB)
(2 Thess. 1:7-9 NLT, 2 Pet. 3:7 CEV, Ps. 37:9-11 NIV)
Verse Two (Rev 19:11-16 NIV):
I saw Heaven open, a white horse before me,
whose rider is called “Faithful and True.”
With justice He judges and He wages war,
and the armies of Heaven behind Him.
With eyes blazing fire, many crowns on His head,
His name is the “Word of God!”
From His mouth a sharp sword, to strike down the
nations, He is “King of Kings, Lord of Lords!”
Bridge Two (in three parts):
The death He died…He died to sin (once for all);
but the life He lives…He lives to God,
(Rom. 6:10)
will save you from God’s wrath.
(1 Thess. 5:9, 1:10, Rom. 5:8-9)
Protection for us all!
Protection for us all!
Protection for us all!
(John 10:28-30, Ps. 34:19, 121:7-8)
Jesus said:
“…those who believe in me will live, even though they die…”
(John 11:26 GNT)
Repeat Full Chorus
Verse Three (Rev 21:1-4 NIV):
I saw a new Heaven, I saw a new earth,
the first Heaven and earth passed away.
A holy city it came down from Heaven,
the “New Jerusalem.”
I heard a loud voice say it’s God’s place for His people,
and He will be with them from now on.
There will be no more death and no crying or pain,
God will wipe every tear from their eyes.

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!

Haunted little boy
Looking for his mother
He's lost his way
Only comes at night with blanket
There's a ghost in the bedroom closet
I'm trying to ignore it
There's a ghost in the bedroom closet
I'm trying to ignore it
Only comes at night with blanket
There's a ghost in the bedroom closet
I'm trying to ignore it

Standing in a field
Staring at a tomb
Walking slowly
Wondering
Reach the doorway
Take a deep breath
Mind is racing
As you look inside
Standing at the door
Staring in the tomb
Seeing nothing
Hearing nothing
Left alone again
Bitter crying
So afraid, so enraged
Terrified
Run in the tomb
Running in the tomb
Falling to the floor
Seeing nothing
Feeling something
Run in the tomb
All my life
I will follow the one
The one who has saved me
With unconditional love
I will follow a God that’s alive
Lift up my voice
Unto the risen Christ
Lifted high
I will praise his name
I will forgive, I will proclaim
I love him because
He first loved me
And he has given me eternity
Run in the tomb

Why chase
The world
When your
Treasure is
Up in heaven
What’s the
Worry for
When you lose
In this world
Brother don’t
Lose sight
Open your eyes
Your inheritance
Is infinite
It’s not
At all
What they
Make it
It’s not worth
All what you pay for
What you pay with
From one end
Of heaven to the other
My kingdom is eternal
All these things are yours
My son everything is yours

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.

I can’t remember when we stopped listening
You and I used to be so desperate
I am becoming
I have become someone I really hate
Sometimes I feel jealous of the things I’ve walked away from
There is no fire in this life
My heart is a vault
It’s all my fault
It’s all my fault

All around us are places we can hide
No one ever comes here if we want
We decide who stays who knows
Maybe someday we’ll see
Innovative reality
Don’t pick me out
‘Cause i'll stop this where it stands
And Oh I can feel it turning out
All around us are places we can hide
No one ever comes here if we want
We define our place in this world
Maybe someday we’ll be
Innovative reality
Don’t pick me out
‘Cause i'll stop this where it stands
And Oh I can feel it turning out (2X)
We can start on our own
(Light at the end of the tunnel waits)
And hope that we last
Instead of knowing now
You still ignore me
Trying to find if there’s any use
Of this I can take (save it)
I don’t want anymore (save it)

Another day, another dollar
Another stupid excuse
To continue the same old thing
If everyone is so different,
Why do we all want the same things?
Love and peace,
Tenderness and joy
“Girls will be girls,
And boys they will be boys”
Was never a good cover
For all of our flaws
As bad as you may want it,
It’s still wrong
And the state we’re in
Is begging for deliverance from the sins
That we have found ourselves caught up in
Though they never satisfy
And the state we’re in
Is longing for the comfort of our kin
And waiting for our lives to begin
Though we already had it all
All this time
Beg, borrow, and steal to get yours
Cancel the other guy,
Keeping up with the Jones is a chore
And I was never really one
To try to conform
So go ahead, try to outdo me
I could care less
For your tact without empathy
Forget your condescension,
I’ll stand on my own
As much as you complain,
You’re still wrong
And the state we’re in
Is begging for deliverance from the sins
That we have found ourselves caught up in
Though they never satisfy
And the state we’re in
Is longing for the comfort of our kin
And waiting for our lives to begin
Though we already had it all
All this time
You wish the most,
And try the least
And blame others
When you don’t succeed
You wish the most
And try the least,
Better get it together
If you wanna be free

the setting sun reveals the day is done
too tired to outrun the end of the world
this war machine, disaster unforeseen
we try to intervene, the end of the world
we're invited to the end of the world
we can't explain earthquakes or hypercane
so now we entertain the end of the world
night turns to dawn and when we're dead and gone
will we look upon the end of the world
we're invited to the end of the world
we try and we try and we try but we can't let go
we will find out once we're gone
no one knows the future
we're invited to the end of the world...

Eye for an eye and we all go blind
Knowing where to look, does NOT mean find
Tooth for a tooth as we battle and grind
Walking along always one step behind
It’s the day of the dead!
It’s the day of the dead!
Walking so slowly, by skeletons led
Parading the streets, unaware that we’re dead
Gloomy in grey with a ravenous red
Avoiding all hope, it’s with lies that we’re fed
It’s the day of the dead!
It’s the day of the dead!
Eye for an eye
One step behind
But it’s all in your head
Unaware that we’re dead
It’s the day of the dead!
This is the day of the dead!
It’s the day of the dead!
THIS IS THE DAY OF THE DEAD

Lying deceitful whore
Babylon your kingdom will fall
Maggots consume you whole
Septic and rotten to the core
Flesh falls from the bone
carcass expels your putrid soul
No one will mourn
No tears will fall
The fathers scorn
Unholy cremation
Your cries and please
Echo unto defended ears
Trickery dishonest salvation
Treachery blood on your hands
Tragedy tormented tortured souls
Teeth gnashing from the grave
No one will mourn
No tears will fall
The fathers scorn
Unholy cremation
Lying deceitful whore
Babylon your kingdom will fall
