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

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.
