[Instrumental]
Lord, You are the light
Move me through this world
Lift my spirit
Give me pure mind
Give me pure heart
Satan has no place here
I will overcome
Saul I am
A mere reflection of the man
Of the man, I've become
Comprehension fades
In the wake of vile desecration
In a Godless age
Clinging to a fallen nation
Rape, murder, genocide
Contorting my beliefs
Bloodbath from every side
Restless internal grief
Watch the earth decay into the cesspool of our decline
The human race, scattered astray as bombs decorate the skyline
Sheppard of the lost
Source of supreme understanding/Bearer of the cross
Back to the notion of living
Comprehension fades
In the wake of vile desecration
In a Godless age
Clinging to a fallen nation
Restoration waits on the hands of declaration
The coming of a King
Construing the base of fixation
At the mouth of the tomb
Come forth tribulation
"My eyes are open, I see the end.
The end of the world welcomes us home.
Home in the Kingdom or death in Hell."
How do You see me through Your eyes
Are You ashamed of me
They say You suffered on the cross
And paid my penalty
Circumstances, second chances
I live my life on repeat
If You re the God that they say You are
Can Your hand reach me
In a time of my emptiness
Through the faults of my wickedness
For the lack of my gratefulness
Can You make it stop
I saw You suffer on the cross that night
As I laughed and mocked the sight
I saw the flesh ripped from Your back
I joined the masses with a heart so black
Was the weeping and the grieving
Intended for me
I am a killer of the innocent
A growing plague, a pestilence
I am the thorn that chokes the seed
The spiteful crown that made You bleed
When the ground consumes this waste
Remember me in the holy place
I saw You suffer on the cross that night
As I laughed and mocked the sight
I saw the flesh ripped from Your back
I joined the masses with a heart so black
Jesus, come back Take me from this place
And so here I am on this journey
My mind contorted with corruption
Feeble and frustrated with my failures
Give me strength o, Lord
Why do I continue driving in the nails
When I know You feel the pain
Give me strength o, Lord
[Instrumental]
Move through the day
You're worth everything
Everything to Him
Look the world in the eyes
No turning back
No going back
Holy is the Lamb
Giver of new life
Secured in
The blood of Christ
Submit this dead flesh
Release all control
Made right in
His sight
All will be made new
Your past will haunt you
He will protect you
The world's falling apart around you
But you have the strength
It surrounds you
Your past will haunt you
He will protect you
Your past
(Past) will haunt you
He will
(Will) protect you
Move through the day
You're worth everything
Everything to Him
Look the world in the eyes
No turning back
No going back
Holy is the Lamb
Giver of new life
Secured in
The blood of Christ
Submit this dead flesh
Release all control
Made right in
His sight
All will be made new
You're not the same as yesterday
Reaching for the other side from this darker side of faith
Losing myself to remain once more
My spirit starves
With every ounce I fade away
Denying the solace of your hands
Screaming and clawing
This dirt beneath my nails
I want to hear your songs again
Singing over me
How devious, the all consuming fear
Igniting the enemy of myself
I felt it all
I lost it all
To think I’ve known the pain
To think I’ve known the fear
When your shoulders have felt it all
Though I pull at the mask that hides my shame
I shall not lose your name
Ashes of mortal remnants
Withered into dust
The plague of humanity
Drowning beneath the flood
Bound by promise
Afflicted by consequence
To seek a new dawn
From the ruins of ridden mortality
What will we seek
That needs to be found
How can we breath
When we deserve to drown
The great collapse of all we are
Justfully submitted into the hands of brokenness
Tears forever released into the flood
Delivering us from this wretched drought
All I am, All I was
Drowning beneath the flood
Carnal vision manifested in my eyes
Too long I've spent in years of regret
To uphold sight of blissful beauty
Redirecting malicious intent
Repeating days of dreadful memories
Consuming every ounce of life
To rob the inglorious splendor
Only to long for in despise
Wisdom too great for this social state
Power destined from beyond
External observation
Mental disintegration
The chaos breeds within
Taking my time
Wasting my time
A hate years so divine
Ripped apart and burned away
4.
Violence
Another way to hate
Another way to kill
We don’t see eye to eye
We do not think the same
And I watch my back
From the ones that feed on life
So eager to strike you down
Wanting you to feel the pain
I can’t believe we breathe the same air
God help me contain this rage
Your rotting away
Get on your feet
How does it feel to rob such virtue
Does it make you feel
Larger than yourself
Trying to take our
Our enduring hope
And now your rotting away
Embrace the Love within
There is still time for you
There is still time
I have fallen away from you light
Spiraling into a cycle of disgust
My grave waits on a cold soul
Deprived of your divine breath
The slow process of suffocation
The nourishment of your being
I cannot live without
I feel it lingering
I won’t go back
To the life you called me from
Dismantle the storm within
To see you path
Carved in me
Hollow places
Left unseen
Hidden spaces
Carved mountains into my soul
The hollow places where I choose to hide
Coldness of caverns unseen
Hidden spaces of glooming light
[Instrumental]
Behold the Deathcrusher
The armageddon
The apocalypse
The crown is upon his head
Who can come against
Who can withstand
At his feet, all will confess
Human hands cannot corrupt
Human tongues cannot defile
In his midst, nothing is hidden
His existence covers the lands
His voice reaches the depths
The crown is upon his head
And the keys are in his hand
Who can come against
Who can withstand
At his feet all will bow
At his feet all will confess
Jesus Christ is king
The dirt up to my eyes
Lungs about to collapse
Skin begins to break
Embedded in the earth
Time could never heal
The wounds inflicted deep
Years of abuse
Quietly self-induced
Life portrays a silence
A calm wind of sorts
Pale faces pass
In this quiet hell found cold
Years of abuse
Bound my thoughts
The memories of old
One with myself
Frail and damned within
Enthroned in silence
Split down the middle
Beneath your gaping flesh
Broken over me
