Blood and sweat drip down
Battered and bruised tissue swelling
Skin hanging in strips
Scalp pierced with thorns
Weary and worn
Crushing weight upon him
Trail of blood leads to the site
Arms stretched out as nails enter his wrists
Binding him to wood
Ghastly form of execution
Last gasp unto deliverance
The gift for all to receive
We are all bought by blood
Who will accept the eternal?

Feel the darkness encompass me
Feel the waves surrounding me
Falling away, where is the light?
Shall we open the door, escape the night?
Awaken me to embrace the truth
Longing for more, and I can sense You
Bitter tears I’ve tasted, I’ve seen
Take me into eternity
And You appear, the Light and Truth
You beckon me to surrender unto
Turn my eyes away from death
Lead my soul to salvation
Try to escape myself, my lies
Ever burning in these fires
I’ve established my own sweet agony
Only You can extinguish these deathly flames

We are the dead,
The lost and forgotten.
Failing bodies on a dying earth
In need of something more.
Why do we cry out?
Why do we cry out to nothing?
No sign in the stars,
An abandoned body gone cold without Your presence.
We are the children of widowed mothers.
Worn and in need of rest,
We are finished.
Don't forget how we've suffered and have been disgraced.
We must never lose sight.
Not knowing if we can ever find peace or happiness,
the dark abyss in our hearts is our only true home.

I want to be holy and blameless but the night is my weakness
Whispering lies knowing that there's a chance I'll fall
Fall into my temptation whenever I feel hungry alone, lonely and tired
I need my risen Savior
It will devour the core of my heart, I need to flee, need to flee
There will be nothing that will stand in my way to spread around your name
I will stand firm like my Savior did, I will stand firm, like my Savior
I want to be a man of God
I want to be, I want to be a man of God
who is constantly in prayer, constantly, constantly
My meditations aren't what they need to be
I want to be I want to be a man of God
I want to be a man of God who is constant in prayer
My meditations aren't what they need to be, need to be
I want to be a man of God, I need to love like God
Everyday I will stand firm as a man of God man of God
Have some faith, have some faith, have some faith, man of God
My life is in gods hands x3
I want to be, I want to be a man of God
who is constantly in prayer, constantly, constantly
My meditations aren't what they need to be
I want to be I want to be a man of God

Kill me now, I stand before the monument of sin that I have made, overshadowed by grief, covered in the reaching arms of lives lost in black wooded masses of hate,
destroying what is pure, I have sold myself into this pain, I am the worst among all
the putrid ones, Innocence preyed upon by spirits familiar to ancient man, To instill
this evil incarnate of lies, All moral lines dissolve in hate, Blood lust taught by
fallen ones, Deceiving man, Eternal holocaust, Reaching from despair, Unable to
absolve myself, In my selfish hate, Let me die, Let me die, Alone in my selfish hate, Here I am, Reaching from despair, Submit all my burdens before the Son of man, He is quick to dismiss them all, There is no love greater than the love of the eternal God, Glory to the exalted King of King’s, Yeshuah I praise your name, Let every voice of hate Towards you, my gracious God, Be crushed and overwhelmed, By the greatness of your love, Let The World See You For Who You Really Are

child in sweet duplicity
For innocence? Or slavery to nature
And the bents that haunt him straight out of the womb?
He doesn’t have to learn the things unseemly that his instinct brings
To carry like a burden from the cradle to the tomb
You’ll never have to teach him how to lie
If we are born in innocence, well, don’t you wonder why?
For selfishness already dwells inside
The birthright of Adam, the curse of the old man
Day and night
Jekyll and Hyde in the fairytale
This is much more frightening
Darkness and light
Feed the new man and tear the veil
See the old man dying
Behold the loving family man
Who tries to do the best he can
And loves his wife and children even more than his own life
But just like that, a wandering eye leads to a suffocating lie
And selfishness and deep betrayal cuts them like a knife
If mankind doesn’t have a sinful drive
Then tell me why he’d wreck his life to get some on the side?
The warring of two natures deep inside
Starving the new keeps the old man alive
Soulsickness nailed to a cross
Humankind in innocence, a lie so thinly veiled
Man born without Soulsickness: this is the fairytale
Hide in the fairytale

Now is the time to come alive
The days are numbered
It seems all that we do is question why
I dig my hand in the dirt
Understand that it's just a matter of time
These words that you spoke is the sword that I use to carve into this world
I stand before you as a sinful man unworthy
I am a holy force to be reckoned with
I am a holy force to be reckoned with, to be reckoned with
Turning over in the grave
I can't imagine why you'll never recognize that you're the only person you enslave
We know the days are numbered but a person's gotta wonder whether everything you know is all delusional charade
Everything you know is all delusional charade
God, won't you have mercy on us all?
I won't sit back and die!
God, won't you have mercy?
I could never count how many times that I have denied your truth
I could never count how many lies I have convinced myself to pursue
I'd give it all away every breath that I would take in a moment of glance if had a chance to fortify the warning before all is lost
I'd give it all away every breath that I would take in a moment of glance if had a chance to fortify the warning before all is lost
All is lost unto the sea
All is lost unto the sea
All is lost unto the sea fall
"Okay, now we are The Order of Elijah!
And we be comin' at you straight up with a savage mindset of Glory!"
"I'm gonna take a second to demonstrate how we do thing in the underground!"
"Now watch me as I burn this world!"
Down into reality where the sinners are the saints
At least we have the balls to fess up rather than complain!
No worries over here, you see my sins are paid with pain
Sorry if it offends you but I speak with no restraint!
But I speak with no restraint!

Be still my weary soul
I can feel you're gone
With every step I take
I lay you down
It's so hard to stand
To see you at the end
Buried deep inside the ground
Fragile wings were broken
Glory think of me
Nightmares have awoken
Can you hear the screams?
A bearer left astray
A drifter thrown in disarray
Here I lay
One more little traveller
Gone like gusts of wind
Just another vapor at end
Fragile wings were broken
Glory think of me
Nightmares have awoken
Can you hear the screams?
Ghosts of who she used to be
I can feel her haunting me
Feel it dancing inside
Feel it take its place
I'm lost until you find me
The pain uprising
Glory, glory mend these broken wings
Be still my weary soul
It's time to let go
Rid me of this torture
Awake me from this dream
Or rid me of my own breath
If you can't mend these wings
Glory think of me

Trapped in this life together
as we struggle each and every day
will it ever get any better
time will tell our fate
search for deliverance
anything to take the pain away
fight for the answers
sign your life away
How can we be
so blind that we cannot see
that happiness is
so far from being free
To have the life
I'd die a thousand times
what makes this world go 'round
only corrupts our minds
we give you take
can't take this anymore
the rich keep getting richer
the poor keep living poor
Time will tell our fate
Can't be pushed much further
every man has the right to change his ways
deception not the answer
make the sacrifice
plow through the faithless
spit in the face of agony
its time to take back
take back what you gave
How can we be
so blind that we cannot see
that happiness is
so far from being free
To have the life
I'd die a thousand times
what makes this world go 'round
only corrupts our minds
we give you take
can't take this anymore
the rich keep getting richer
the poor keep living poor
Time will tell our fate
Darkness controls all of man
a life that we've built upon sand
tuning whats left of this place
into a life of eternal disgrace
a race to be God among men
greed will consume all it can
damnation a certain demise
looking for truth in the midst of a lie
darkness controls all of man
a life that we've built upon sand
tuning whats left of this place
into a life of eternal disgrace
who will decide your self worth

Separatist - Omega

Lost inside these fractured circles of sleep
A dissonant and frail departure from this motionless void
This nebulous vacuity we called our home
An oracle of false hope is revealed to one among us
Before us he stands, weak at the knees
Preaching a hollow exhortation of forgiveness and paradise
In exchange for our repentance and divine exaltation
To the ‘Alpha and Omega’ that left us to rot under this riven sky
That left us to succumb to the vile cessation that awaits us
We are given a second chance to turn to the Almighty One
To live forever in utopia
Entwined in our irrational gaze
This cursed gospel is unfurled
And we, the church
The unhearing progenies of human pestilence
Writhing in a mercurial hysteria
Arise as one body in rebellion
For this vitriolic sermon
You will die by our hands
Your words will catch in your throat as you hang

My faith and your words are playing Russian roulette
And I'm scared that there are no bullets left.
One of us is already dead
The question is, which one of us has lost his head
The point is that there was only one perfect man
We're all barely breathing, neck deep, surrounded by sinking sand
Blinded by ignorance, don't forget your calling is to lend a hand
Just be certain that you're preaching calls for cleansing of the darkness in our heads
Be a man keep your promise and be honest about the letters that are written in red
If every word you spit was a bullet, is it for our good or would we all be dead?
In a perfect world, we would all be prophets; we would keep our word.
Of living a life that is holy and be the change that this world deserves
I'm not here to please you
Take a breath and let the word of Christ speak
Take me away
Let the words of the Almighty carry me home, to a grace no living man has ever known
The body of Christ is breaking beneath us, but we have redemption in Jesus
This dying world is coming unglued, but we have so much left to do
Break every chain keeping humanity bound
When a divided world breaks, you will hear seven trumpets sound

In a time when integrity is tarnished with no remorse
Where being in right-standing is considered a disease
To become impure has become a source
To set one's mind at ease
You have been given an irreplaceable pearl
Cast it not away for the sake of mere approval
Be aware
Of the Lord's constant calling
For the walls wherein you dwell
May rise up in judgment against you
Authentic love will wait, yearning for that day
When the Lord will bring two souls in unity
Deposit not your beauty you only once can give
Only to be lost in a world where consciousness is short-lived
The age of innocence should never perish
(Romans 13:12-14; Hebrews 13:4)

We all feel empty and need to fill the space.
In the starving void where nothing satisfies.
It’s the hollow in the center, the home of all desire
Desolate and broken, longing for consummation.
We need warmth. We need your fire.
Void inside broken by desire.
We need a spark to cause a flame,
A need for You to ease our pain.
So weak and desperate, we need You in our life.
You’ll be the Groom and we’ll be Your Bride.
…and when You come to take us home,
we’ll sit at the right hand of Your throne.
Come and set this world on fire!
Burn it with Your blood-washed Bride.
No longer empty. You filled the space.
In the starving void and You satisfy.
You solidify the center. Fulfilled all desire.
Repaired what’s broken but still we long for consummation.
