All Else Failed
1. Resistance
I won't allow it
I won't let it happen
this weakness will be strengthened
take away this battle
let your fire burn within purify,
purify don't release your hand from me
I must surrender,
must lay it down
what's to gain is my selfishness
what will I promote and what will be pushed back
my hope must rise,
strengthen forward
linking my hand in yours
I won't break the bond
no more will I remain the same
let your fire burn within purify,
purify don't release your hand from me
I must surrender,
must lay it down
my God has ever loved Himself in me
I am convinced, I must stay.
2. In Loving Kindness
We are a new creation
the old has gone,
the new has come
Reconciled us to Himself Through Christ Jesus
We will be free,
forever knowing what will become of us
Thank you for the cross
Trusting in the balance
Has tilted me toward righteousness
Lifting my spirit once again
Sinking not in my functioning Inhale,
exhale this over and over again
Looking for tomorrow forgetting about today
Striving to tell them the truth
Dying, dying, dead Through prayer and sacrifice into all the earth
With love and understanding
Now I look to importance
Standing here steadfast
To renew the spirit within me
Do not cast me from your presence
Or take Your Holy Spirit from me.
3. Endure
I will endure
It will endure in me
Until the end
forever I will endure
If we continue in these ways
Rebellion bends toward hatred
We rise up for our cause
And forsake the outsiders
Where is this love, this understanding?
Who will stand?
What will break down
If this up rise of self is left to reign?
This age screams for a standard to uphold
An answer for these questions
The wavering of beliefs lead to destruction
Nothing remains constant to its origin
But the unchanging faith of Christ
The One stable since creation
Thoughts have come and theories have gone
Nothing has lasted through resistance
But who can deny, who can dispute The faith that's been throughout
Since the foundation of the beginning?
It has always been and always will be forever
It has been proven, it shall remain
This faith has stood the test
It persists through the conflict
Through the revolt against its ways
Nothing has held true like this
No other has revealed no other has revealed such strength
The roots run deep within Entangling around my rock, entangling
Never letting that has sustained me
I will endure in what I believe
And what I believe will endure in me. (x2)
4. Growing in Grace
His love, He is King
He is with us, He is God
He is with us, He is God (Not a clue)
In refuge and strength
Ever present help in trouble
Without fear
As the nations uproar
And the kingdoms fall
He lifts, His voice melting
He is with us, He is God
He is with us, He is God
In His purpose, I will stand
I've been renewed by Him alone
We've been made by the Maker
Bought by the Buyer, Broken by the Breaker
I am His. (x2)
5. Foresight
With open arms
I'll be held down by the Spirit of God
I refuse to turn away
By the world and its lies
Everlasting words like water flows through my heart
As the wisdom runs deep within Foreseen through my Savior
The complication has been done
With wisdom and truth inside
No reflections from the past will come
And there will be no misconception
That would turn my faith away when I'm with You
Life the endless maze will not be so narrow
Soon time will not have to wait
For soon I will go against what awaits me
With open arms I'll be held down by the Spirit of God
I refuse to turn away
By the world and its lies
Everlasting words like water flows through my heart
As the wisdom runs deep within Foreseen through my Savior
The complication has been done With wisdom and truth inside
No reflections from the past will come
And there will be no misconception
That would turn my faith away when I'm with You
I will lift up my spirit to be with You.
6. PS77
I cried out to God for help
I cried out to God to hear me
When I was distressed,
I sought the Lord At night
I stretched out my hand
But I can not be comforted
I remember You God and I groaned
I mused and my spirit grew faint
You kept my eyes from closing
I was too troubled to speak
I thought about my former days the years long ago
I remember my songs in the night
My heart mused and my spirit inquired
Will the Lord reflect forever
Will He never show his favor again
Has this unfailing love vanished forever
Has His promise failed for all time
Has God forgotten to be merciful
Has the anger withheld
His compassion Then I thought To this
I will appeal The years of the right hand of the Most High
I will remember the deeds of the Lord Yes,
I remember Your miracles of land ago
I will meditate on all Your works
And consider all Your mighty deeds
Your ways, oh God, are holy
What god is so great as our God.
7. Exchange
Revelation,
unknowing has been taken
Why had I waited so long
Refrained for this love
Never open to the hope
He has
How could I reject this
He was calling my name
Searching for me
I always turned away
Not wanting to believe
I had a need for Him
Feeling this emptiness
Not knowing He could fill Drowning in my efforts to find comfort
I searched and strived for the answer
But every step I fell
And the earth crumbled under me
Now I found this rock
This stable place
The pain has gone away
I please my hope in no other
My heart, it cries
It toils inside me
Wanting all to have this life
Wishing all to know this love
But I'm reminded of my turning
Closing my eyes
Running the other way
But I've decided
I opened my eyes
To find more than I was looking for
My mind screams
Knowing this is for all
But not all want what I've found
Now I found this Rock
This stable place
The pain has gone away
I place my hope in no other
I opened my eyes
To find more than I was looking for
My mind screams
Knowing this is for all
But not all want what I've found
Now I found this Rock
This stable place
The pain has gone away I place my hope in no other.
8. In These Times of Silence
What else is there
After the slipping away
When everything is silent
And nothing is around, alone
Looking deep inside
Hearing the echo of my soul
No one can know
In there times of silence
These times of separation
I find there is a void that rises up
A peace that brings my tears
A comfort that no one else can offer
So why do people turn away
Why they look elsewhere
And base there self on opinions
When the truth is so evident
That this God of Love is so constant
When every thing is gone
Destruction and storms
My Jesus stands to help.
9. A Simple Reminder
Erase my thoughts
Cancel my subscription
To the things of this world
I open eyes of deliverance
I'm color blind waiting to see
Want to finally say no
And walk away with a smile
Time after time my call is game over
But again and again this cancer spread
Bleeding and spitting guilt and convictions
As I lay in this pit, pit of defeat
Pit of defeat
Time after time my call is game over
But again and again my cancer spread
Bleeding and spitting guilt and convictions
As I lay in this pit, pit of defeat
Once again to try to beat it out
Over and over again
So worn
To watch Him die and smile
At His dismay
His pain my deliverance
My cleanliness a gift of freedom
My walk purified
My peace given by God
Erase my thoughts
Cancel my subscription
To the things of this world I open eyes of deliverance
I'm color blind.
10. All Else Failed
Why,
for what do we strive that will bring,
bring us closer
No human deed will show us approved
For two thousand years we've chocked on our efforts
Only to lay down and die
Things change
And things stay the same
Through all these trials
I cannot compose myself
Till there is a time
That no heaviness
Fills my heart
I cannot compose myself
So in all this there must arise a plan
A strategy to subdue the schemes
For generation upon generation God retained a silence
That shattered the hears of men
And for a season, all else, all else failed
Because I'm different
There is no other name
Given among men whereby
They might be saved in all these years
When men crawled the earth
Choking on his tears
No composure nor completion reigned
No self-righteous cleansing
Leaning on the strength of self or another man
No human effort can bring holiness
Or even the strength to stand
There is no explanation for this reasoning
The only thing in life that is constant is Jesus.
The Splinter Shards The Birth of Separation
1. Times of Separation

love is so constant?

Reconciled us to Himself Through Christ Jesus
We will be free,

Thank you for the cross
Trusting in the balance

Do not cast me from your presence
Or take Your Holy Spirit from me.
7. Endure
I will endure
It will endure in me
Until the end
forever I will endure

Rebellion bends toward hatred

And forsake the outsiders
Where is this love, this understanding?
Who will stand?
What will break down

An answer for these questions

Thoughts have come and theories have gone
Nothing has lasted through resistance
But who can deny, who can dispute The faith that's been throughout

Never letting that has sustained me
I will endure in what I believe
And what I believe will endure in me. (x2)
8. The Children Cry For Help
no eyes have seen.
no ears have heard.
what God has prepared
for those that love him.
multitudes behold His glory
and give praises for what He has done.
in the time of need the children cry for help.
many searching for a void to be filled,
while in stride
they fall to their face in tears or laughter
after the release of His abundance.
has His unfailing love vanished forever?
has His promise failed for all time?
has God forgotten to be merciful?
has the anger withheld His compassion?
Jesus, my Lord and Savior,
through my mind wonders of what i have not
seen, heard, or conceived,
i will turn my focus to You.
9. Resistance
I won't allow it
I won't let it happen
this weakness will be strengthened
take away this battle
let your fire burn within purify,
purify don't release your hand from me
I must surrender,
must lay it down
what's to gain is my selfishness
what will I promote and what will be pushed back
my hope must rise,
strengthen forward
linking my hand in yours
I won't break the bond
no more will I remain the same
let your fire burn within purify,
purify don't release your hand from me
I must surrender,
must lay it down
my God has ever loved Himself in me
I am convinced, I must stay.
10. Song 1
there is no other way
to explain for what He has done.
He came to me in such a holy way,
such a way that i would die for it.
it is more than just a belief,
He lives in my heart.
how else can i explain it to you...
Jesus Christ.
Where Blood And Fire Bring Rest
1. Lies Of Serpents, A River Of Tears
Your eyes (2x)
Your eyes search for me (4x)
Your eyes
Your eyes search for me
For so long I've wanted to come home
Held back by lies of serpents and tongues of brothers
Turning a child into an enemy
Turning open arms into closed fists
I could see the reflection in the tears
That made their way down Your face
Onto the ground I kneel upon
They form a river that overtakes me
Compassion envelops me
I forgive and release
Forgive, release
Forgiven, released
2. To Think Of You Is To Treasure An Absent Memory
When you shut your eyes and fell asleep
Dark clouds descended on the souls of the ones
Who held you close to their hearts
Close to their hearts
My heart broke (3x)
Open (4x)
The beauty of an embrace a place
To lay down the pain
Where blood and fire bring rest and peace (4x)
I sit away in a secret place the shadow of wings
I think of you (7x)
And my heart breaks open
3. A Fall Farewell
In a time of quietness I reflect on childhood memories
Caught wisping through my mind
Falling leaves create the stage
Words spoken were not cherished
On the last day of our friendship
And those words were possibly the last
What were your thoughts
As a dreaming child I awaken to a nightmare
After a gentle nudge I find out you're gone
The machines that kept you alive were careless
Did you ask Him to forgive you
Before, before you passed on you slipped
You slipped, you passed on
The machines that kept you alive were careless
Did you ask Him to forgive you
Before you passed on
You slipped on away into the ground
You broke the vanity
You brought the silence
4. March
My strength, my strength fades
My strength fades away
Slowly with the setting sun
The night brought its
Darkness and its storms
And the floods that came
Reflected a dull moon
Violent winds raged beneath the stars that didn't shine
Emptied of myself I fell to the ground
Slowly through the destruction
Came a single quiet voice
And the breath of His words consumed
The night and brought strength I have never felt on my own
And He held me up until I could walk again
And promised to stay by my side forever
5. Ember
My sight finally returns
Only to see my hands covered with the innocent blood
Of those I stand before as an example
And I hold this ember in my heart
It reminds me of who I once was
It's the only warmth that I know
Ember of Your faithfulness
Ember of Your still small voice
Ember of embracing arms
Ember of rebirth to You my King
To You my King I offer up this ember
For the wind of Your Spirit to consume
Consumed by fire, consumed (2x)
Consumed to purge their blood from my hands
6. Ravage Ritual
I remember the first war, the way the sky burned
The faces of angels destroyed
I saw a third of Heaven's legion banished
And the creation fell
I stood with my brothers and watched and listened to the revolt
But now, my brothers aren't my brothers
Turned away by a misrepresentation
Stained glass and white washed tombs
The hearts of those who spoke to you
Were never homes the God they tried to show you
They spoke out of prejudice and ritualism
They themselves were lost angels fold their wings
And they fold their wings
And weep along with us watching you shun Christ's sacrifice
Shunning sacrifice
And they fold their wings
And weep along with us watching you shun
Shun
7. Fifteen Rhema
My heart is deceived by
My eyes my actions in the name of beauty
I'm sickened and strangled
By myself that I would allow an unyielded desire to lead me astray
Put to shame by my lack of trust I confess my faults with tears
Manifestations of Your grace fill me
Revelations of forgiveness wounds healed by wounds
The Father's mercy
Peace beyond understanding love from You
That I don't deserve
Don't deserve (4x)
I shut my eyes I still my feelings
Feelings, feelings
Listening with closed eyes I rest in Your guidance
I rest in Your guidance
Trusting You
Sensing You I listen and hear
Abide in me (4x)
8. For A Fair Desire
Let me not exist for a fair desire sweet and fresh
Are my expectations of this inner strength
That yearns passionately
For the endowment of the Father
I sow in tears that later I shall reap in joy
Each drop that I sow will be a time of breaking (3x)
Come Holy Spirit empower Your creation
Through times of breaking the planting of tears as I am broken
Your presence grows stronger
I feel You with me upholding me through it all
Let me not exist for a fair desire sweet and fresh
Are my expectations of this inner strength
That yearns passionately
For the endowment of
Each drop that I sow is a time of breaking
A time of breaking
9. A ring of haze encircles the unshrouded truth within
Another seal is broken as the heavens prepare
To break forth in fulfillment
A blanket of deception is layered on sacred writings
Which contain the thoughts of the One who is Almighty God
A sword unsheathed is drawn bringing legions of demons to their knees
By the covenant prepared before the earth itself still
So many choose to warm themselves beneath deception
A ring of haze encircles the unshrouded truth within
Another seal is broken as the heavens prepare
To break forth in fulfillment
A blanket of deception is layered on sacred writings
Which contain the thoughts of the One who is Almighty God
A sword is drawn, unsheathed bringing legions of demons to their knees
By the knowledge of a covenant prepared before the earth itself
Still so many choose to warm themselves beneath deception
As the end draws near and history closes
I pray that the winds and the rain of that which is latter
Will bring clarity and understanding to Your infallible Word
Let the lack of knowledge that destroys us be lifted in Your name
Off (8x)

2. Circle I Limbo: Savannah
A day not to forget
The machine has collapsed under the program it's been given
Look inside the broken shell
Look inside the broken shell
To see the broken heart
They can't believe the machine was alive but we saw it bleed
We saw it bleed (8x)
The machine it falls apart and when it's cut it bleed
The machine bleeds (6x)
She was alive
3. Circle II The Lustful: Autopsy
And what shall I do
I try to speak and words stop short of my tongue
They make their way back to my thoughts
Still crafted by a still soul
I move my eyes around trying to find a place to rest
I can't see it but I feel the light
Someone tell us we are loved
Someone take the pain away
Someone fill up the void
Someone fix my broken heart
Are you that someone? (6x
4. Circle II The Lustful: If These Scars Could Speak
Breathe
Come out of your stare
Touch the ground with your prayers
Breathe out the lies
Breathe
His words were sharpened hooks beneath your skin
You left them in
As he shone into the eyes around him
Cradled by a cold floor Isolation shows his true motivation
Her pedals are slowly torn away
Scarlet adorns the snow
Scarlet
5. Circle III The Gluttonous: The Ghost Psalm
Realization comes through reaping
Reality contained in quite
My companions are walking corpses
I am buried with your words
Turned their backs to me
Scared to see the ghost
Turned and walked away
Scared to see the ghost
Time to go one last look, one last touch. A ghost to those I love
Time to go one last look, one last touch. Goodbye to those I love
So close
So close to separation
A ghost without a grave
A ghost without a name
So close
6. Circle III The Gluttonous: Desire The End
I desire the end
The touch of armageddon
This world encased in flames...
Bodies lie beneath fallen kingdoms...
...I walk on fallen kingdoms...
...I desire the end...
...I desire the new beginning
7. Circle IV The Hoarders And The Spendthrifts: Dark Cold Sound
A dark cold sound...
A dark cold sound tears the life I'm given
Ignite the vision
The vision that brought cold wind against my childhood soul.
The root of unspoken fear
The root grows deep in my heart
A dark cold sound tears at my life
Over and over...
The time when rest is as distant as childhood
When I knew peace
The time when I was happy
The time when I knew peace
Before it came after me
It's coming after me
A dark cold sound
8. Circle IV The Hoarders And The Spendthrifts: Skin Like Winter
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Beautiful child turning into stone
With your eyes so dim I shudder
Bitterness runs through your soul
Like small children
Confusion dances in the dusk of your mind
Exchange your blessings for deceptions good night kiss
Skin like winter
Cherished one fading away
I can see your breath begging to resurrect into death
Hiding scars back laced with splinters
Audience of a congregation make your way to the front
Close your eyes and grieve
You played your part so well
9. Circle V The Wrathful: Kathleen Barbra
Mother I have a gift for you
It's the only thing I can offer
All you know is entropy
Still you shine as the sunrise
But inside I can hear your spirit die
Your spirit dies from the inside
Your spirit dies from the inside

1. 5 Year Winter
Dear Tiffany,
You've mad me nauseous for the last time
Everything I've said to you....I will form a spike (to drive through my throat)
In order to stop my words
This time I'll put them in the ground along with my memories and my feelings
I'll burn it down and walk away
Let the fire warm my back
I wish you would say you hate me
It would make it so much easier
Burn it down and walk away................
Love Daniel
2. Alive Is Dead
(instrumental)
3. A Tool To Scream
Goodbye, They breathe but cannot scream
They have no tools to build voices
They wait in fetal position
Martyrs on altars of mistakes
The martyr
They have not the tools to scream
They are just the ones upon the altars of mistakes
There is no safe place
The martyr
4. Witchhunter
I watch as my dreams bleed
Which one of you hunters got me
She's waiting and watching
Will she be there for me
Who's got me who loves me
I've lost my turn
This world
This world I've created
It makes me and breaks me
All alone
5. Trash Can Hands
You think because you bought this record,
you read a list of thanks you can judge our lives(you've identified)
You think because you bought the record,
you read a list of thanks you've identified(you can judge out lives)
A favor we provide
Little forum boys with your polished cyber toys
I read your bucket comment
Your three piece bulletin
POUT POUT BOOO HOOO TALK TALK POUT BOO HOOO HOOO
How is our identity working out for you?
It's funny how you can justify me(us) on opinion
An idea that I do this for you

6. The Race Of Standing Still
I'm racing, racing towards it
Like when I was a small boy
Cutting through a waving field
Decorated by summer sunlight
Unable to remember
Unable to forget
Unaware yet at peace
Unaware yet scared
I'm racing, racing towards it with fear and excitement
They seem inseparable
They seem so far apart
They are my close friends
They are my very ghosts
I'm racing towards it
Holding perfectly still
In the race of standing still
7. FJL
If I go
Will you come back
and no one else sees
Will it be me
Will this be
A sentiment I share
If you care give purpose to this place
or nothing
Can we leave
Believe in me
8. The End Of His World
The sky's as dark as murderers’ hearts
Waiting stalking
She didn't know he was gonna die
The earth it screams
As bullets fire upon the innocent
She didn’t know he was gonna die
The end of his world is here
The seas' as red as the you man's blood
Dripping from his forehead
The winds as cold as his widows eyes
When she finds out her lover won't be coming home
9. The Dreams That Don't Come True
I tried again I fell again to find out for myself
It hurts for a life time
You picture rests there for a lifetime
And for a lifetime I will dream of you
I prepare a mantle inside of my heart
With your photograph to sooth the scars
Unable to be erased unable to be forgotten
As I grow older I will dream
10. At Zero (Simeon Simmons)
I'm at zero release the controls
Preparation for the ending
The end is soon
I'm at zero
I will not die at zero
Parade Of Chaos
1. The Buzzing
Masks and a fake skin.
The builders keep breaking
The buzzing.
Attracted to the innocent.
The wolves lead the sheep.
The buzzing.
With a stare to crush their hopes and water.
To drown the flies.
Their hands fall apart when we need to hold them.
And the skeleton speaks of what we've told them.
The buzzing.
They stare with the eyes of wolves, and the hearts of dead.
The builders keep breaking.
2. Suspend/Suspension
Suspension/suspend.
Wires from the ceiling extend.
Suspend/suspension.
Your teeth grinds from the tension.
When the door breaks you are found suspended high.
Above the ground.
Suspension/suspend: Death took my old best friend.
Suspend/suspension.
Your life is at attention.
You are found suspended high.
Above the ground enclosed in wires.
What’s this?
Death came for you.
He does not respect virtue,
Your teeth grind from the tension.
As wires extend from the ceiling extend.
Watching peige's rotting.
Suspended by the suspension of wires.
3. Paradise Of Chaos
We march like fools in a parade of chaos.
We march like fools in a parade of chaos.
Led by our enemies.
While we sing their praises.
Led by our enemies.
While we kiss their hands.
The morning rained fire.
Let the heavens retire.
Over the eyes of the blind.
And the voices of spoiled children.
True leaders are gone.
We turned our back too many times.
And bit the hand of the provider.
Chaos kills us.
Chaos.
4. Angel Without Wings
Hold her in your right hand.
And guide her safely home.
Brush away all the thorns.
Find all the stones.
You're my angel without wings.
When i was crying you never left my side.
When i was dying you never left my side.
You're always there for me.
You're my angel without wings.
You were always without wings.
Without wings.
5. Killing Cupid
It blinds my eyes to see you.
It bleeds my hands to touch your face.
It burns my ears to hear you.
It mutes my tongue to say your name.
Pulling out arrows from my calloused heart.
6. Free The Three
You failed to do your job.
Superstitious cover up.
They'll pay you because of your mistakes.
You lie, you lie, you lie and they pay.
You fail, you fail, you fail and they pay.
Superstition. Unholy children. '
Blinded vision. False ambition.
Can you show me how they're guilty?
You liars, you killers.
Blame the (so-called) unholy children.
With your blinded vision.
And your false ambition.
7. Man In The Womb
This man sits staring.
Left lost in hand.
You want a real solution?
Well we're doing the worst we can.
Bodies make the scariest sounds.
As Johnny sings, he sings the blues.
So come on and spread your gospel.
You've got change on your mind.
So get down on me, get down on me.
8. A Pirates Prayer
Marked to be alone.
And my eyes are closed.
Drown and separate.
For sakes of discernment.
Walk with the broken pieces.
They do not say a word.
They speak not a word to the broken sea.
Not burnt by fire.
Or pulled by the flood.
They come to rest in crimson pools of blood.
Guided by the wind.
Not burnt by the fire.
Not pulled by the flood.
They come to rest (alone, alone).
But they. they go, so we ride.
But the candle burns alone.
It guides us safely home.
9. Ballad Of Buddy Bigsby
(instrumental)
10. How Are The Weak Free
They will hunt again.
With years to plan.
And sharpen their teeth.
But no one knows, no one knows.
Free the wolf from his cage.
Watch him hunt, stalk his prey.
We let them go.
They will hunt again.
Prey on the simple.
Feast in the temple.
Free the wolf?
We must put him down.
We'll put him down again.
Our protectors hide and grin
The Funeral Of God
1. Breath Of The Black Muse
Open your mouth, boy
Just to swallow your teeth
I will not pay the price for your self-inflicted grief
My meekness lies there shivering and raped
Trembling prophet
Anointed wrath of God incarnate
Cutting and tearing dissection
Strangled and hanging before me
Weeping and screaming become you
Carry out your suffering
Raise your first, boy to bring upon your demise
Never had a clue what waited behind these eyes
Your body torn apart
You could not escape
Trembling prophet
Anointed wrath of God incarnate
Inspiration from your damnation
Your breath blackens my lungs
You marked the line to guide my first incision
Breath of the black muse
2. The Rising End (The First Prophecy)
Bombs rain down like heaven's tears
The earth shall die and disappear
And today, we wish the skies were grey
For now they're just black and empty
Ripped and turn from inside out
Things too dark to think about
No miracles
No bleeding hands
God has parted
And when the end, she comes
Rains down on everyone
Fire from the sky
And when the end, she rides
Breathing out suicide
Life and death are one
As a flame burns to touch the sky
So it shall be with man's cry
And this night all will pass away
And this night we shall die as one
3. The Last Revelation (The Last Prophecy)
There were none at His left hand
No man amongst His army
The earth has ripped herself open
And birthed from her wounds
Thick black clouds which covered the earth
It tears
I see blood in the air
I taste the blood in the air
Dissected from the heaven
Cut and stripped of her skin
We let it begin, descending from heaven
An all-consuming cancer
Reaching to repent
We shall taste it in its purest form
Reaching out for nothing
Suffocation on our words
While we hold our children
No cradle
No Son
A mother of none
4. The Last Song From Zion
His shadow floats upon the earth
Casting a song from the north
Yeshua weeps Zion's song
Thy will of man
My kingdom gone
You place all your hatred upon my throne
Your hands form your own path
Curse the one that has made you
I see Cain in all your eyes
I am laying down to go to sleep forever
I do not hide my face in shame at all
I do not cower before your blade
This is what your black hearts pray
Time moves as slow as the ocean's tide
Neon explosion in the haggard sky
No sun shall set
Lest we forget
Man's will be done
The last Lamb
The last hope
The last song from Zion
5. Live...From The Funeral Of God
Live from the funeral of God
This is the day you've awaited
Sponsored and celebrated
He has answered your prayers
Corpses have piled up with your riches
They have spilled over onto the earth
We spit and wear our fear like masks
Everything is locked into form
(Interrupt the feed)
It's closing in
The sky is so dark
Are men no worse then demons?
Are armies not thirsty for bleed?
The desire of their hearts has been met
Eons and eons
Decades of liars
Drink with power atop mountains of corpses
Their arms and legs fail and they crawl like serpents
To address those who are mourning:
Live from the funeral of God
There is no reason to be afraid
Everything is under control
We shall miss Him
6. The Lesser Lights Of Heaven
The lesser lights of heaven are burning towards a dream
The eyes of mothers bleeding
Cast their children to the sea
The lesser lights of heaven are screaming in our mind
Listen to the chorus
So divine and unkind
The lesser lights of heaven are burning for their Son
Praying for the presence
That birthed them into one
The lesser lights of heaven, their bodies but a flame
A sky that knows no distance
A cut that feels no pain
The lesser lights of heaven are bending towards your will
Cutting through the person
Who would rather die than kill
The lesser lights of heaven cast crowns before your throne
Dissipate into nothing
We truly are alone
Can we live through this? The lesser lights of heaven
7. In Times Gone Past
I see it in your eyes
The tearing in your heart
As I awaken I learn first
First of dying
And lying inside the ground forgotten
I learn of love
I learn of terror
I feel the curse inside my body
My God, my God
Why have you forsaken me and put this curse inside my body?
We live within a curse and within the divine
We're born and raised to work
And then grow old and die
(In our golden time)
Strange
Cut and burnt then thrown into the tied
I have lived and died
Lie beneath the ground
Ascend into the sky
I feel the earth spinning slow
And winding down with the sun
I feel the curse inside my body
Running through my veins into my mind
8. Praise The War Machine
The death of the Omega pilots the war machine
We shall destroy the earth
Rebuild it
None shall inherit it
Blood turned into fire
Made to drink like wine
Pile up the countless corpses and on them we shall dine
We praise you, war machine
You've come to set us free
Run us through your jaws
Carry us off in your claws
Cut away body from soul
A slave freed from his master
Closing the spirit's eye to embrace this earthly tie
666 (The number of man brought upon by man)
The earth it shall burn bright tonight in our eyes
The earth it shall burn right into our eye on this very night
Praise the war machine
Burn tonight
9. Truly, Truly, This Is The End
hey say death is an open door
Into another room
Within the city of the dead
(Our New Kingdom)
They say we walk like dreams
Sharing the same breath
Seeing through the same eyes
(A collective spirit)
As we pray on his grave our words fall and decay
The earth it gives no peace, nor does it take away
We all survive the grave
(Unfortunate eternal)
They say that in times past
A king walked in the sky
Until dethroned by man
(Tribe of Judas)
Truly, truly, this is the end
It's not the same
I'm plagued with pain and I can't let go
This is the end
10. I Lay Sleepless In My Grave
(instrumental)
11. Psalm Of The City Of The Dead
As we wait here for a sign
We are greeted by the end of time
These streets aren't paved with gold
You are my everything
My soul is growing cold
