ICSYE: I can't see your eyes when your head is turned and you're paralyzed. Stuck on beliefs, all the things that you read; infected and immobilized. Pierce through all the lies. Search for truth. We must scrutinize. Dismantle walls, the ideas you exalt; eradicate and nullify. Please just realize our carnal form is just a disguise. Momentarily flawed; a vapor, a thought for in Him there is more than meets our eyes.
Struck Down: I’ll break on through the hate that you spew and everything you do will fall back on you because I looked into His word, the only the Truth and you will never own me. My reality is not what it used to be. Just look and see into the very core of me. Priorities have changed to another Three and you will be defeated. You will be struck down into the lake of fire and all that He’s made will be lifted higher. You were right there, right there by his side but you couldn’t hide your foolish selfish pride so you lied and caused all mankind to die. Now look where you’re headed. Now there’s a constant fight to see who’s wrong or right and though your plight may seem to work so tight if we drop fright and look towards the light you will be defeated. You will be struck down into the lake of fire and all He’s made will be lifted higher. You took on too much and now you will pay. You will be struck down. You cannot be saved from the path you have chosen. His legions will thrust you into the place where you have caused man to go.
Blame: You’re always pointing the finger, pushing the blame on somebody else. You don’t like to linger because you are afraid of the consequences you’d face. It’s easier to bail and let the innocent fall just to save yourself, but when it fails an you have to crawl you’re left with nothing but disgrace. No more time. Release your pride. throw out your fears. So the cycle starts anew and your pride regained. Your actions taking form of old. If only you grew and knew all of the pain you bestow on those you love. You must see that you’re wrong. Strip yourself of pride. Humble your words and ways. Before too long it won’t be able to be rectified and judgment comes from above. No more time. Release your pride. Throw out your fears and you’ll find you are alone no more and nothing can shackle the free. Find the lies behind this life. You have one last chance, your one resort to escape all that you’ve done wrong. Swallow pride with open eyes. Reach for the prize that’s already won for you. You’re never going to make it if you never take it so go ahead and break it if you want eternal death but if you want eternity of perfect grace and glory be all and everything He wills. You must accept your Savior Jesus Christ.
It All Comes Down To: If a single spark can ignite a flame large enough to engulf the world then too a thought can defile the mind bringing death to body and singeing the soul. There is a choice we have to make, one we can not ignore. Everything we are, everything we do relies on this decision because in the end it all down to... A distant fire burns an intense flame; catching wind then spreading just like a plague. We watch from afar thinking that we are immune. This sickness we cannot stop; choking on the fumes. So long to our lives of everlasting peace. We have fallen from His grace. Our lungs fill with smoke and ash as we experience the retribution. For our actions we will surely pay as smoke fills the horizon blocking out the sun. It's not too late. Just breath Him in; wash the slate clean. Fresh air some breathe to live while others flail and fall to the side. It is a choice we have to make for ourselves. We'll live or die with that one decision. Burning, singeing everything that you hold dear in your life now. Embers glowing, no one knows how long we have; time is precious. We cannot ignore everything we are.
Through The Haze: I feel the darkness creeping in. I feel the haze fill my lungs. Consuming all I am, just what I want. I’m feeling numb. Beside the one I love but I’m not around. I feel your wind beneath me. Please lift me up higher than I have ever been. Hold me up. Please take this vial away from me. I cannot take it anymore. Lost in myself I am a prisoner of my own accord. I know there’s more to life then this, a high I can sustain. I feel your wind beneath me. Please lift me up higher than I have ever been. Hold me up. Break me from these chains that bind me. I’m plummeting so quickly from this high that kills me. Break me from this pain and misery that I’m causing endlessly. I know you can sustain me.
Too Dark To Tread: A blackened sky, a matching soul drag me into an ever widening abyss. I try to fill this gaping wound with nothing more then I started with. Rip this veil from me so that I may see. I try not to lead too far astray but the path bends and I’m lost again. Thorns prick my side, bare feet crush stone. Clouds cover sun. I’m again alone. Rip this veil from me so that I may see. Tear me from this skin. Let new life begin. Take this all away. Throw temptation aside. Give me every reason to live this life again. Mend this tattered soul.
Bring Us To Our Senses: More and more we seem to search in vain just to keep our heads above the crashing waves. Moving ever closer to the fray but further we seem to fall away. Trying to keep a hold on sanity (I can’t seem to clear my mind). Never knowing what it is we truly need (distorted visions are all I find). Our eyes are open but we can’t see that something deep inside has to feed. A revival is what we need. Emancipation, we’ll secede; succeed. More and more we always seem to try (with false hope, in disarray) to bring attention to our earthly cries (I’m drowning in my own decay). When they aren’t heard we wonder why. We watch our gods fall down and die. A brand new focus for our lives. Our answer’s right before our eyes. Arise, our eyes can’t disguise the lies we hide inside. We need to find a better way to live the life that we do today. We need to open up our eyes and see that this life that we live is a lie.
Kevlar: In my power I grow stale so I need You to come and mold me. I am stagnant. I am wasted. I am pliable. Watch me bend. These thoughts, they try to take control and use me just for what they wish. Take away this pain and this torture before I break. These thoughts I can’t command. They’re piercing me right to the core. These visions try to take control at every single corner. A pile of nothing I've become in their filthy grips. I need you to shield me from everything that attacks within. Take away this pain and this torture before I break. These thoughts I can't command. They're piercing me right to the core. Standing in the middle of nowhere, my life is in despair. Lost in the chasms of my mind, searching for something to hold. All the Lies I've been feed have festered into my own truth. A distorted vision of a picture so unclean. So come wash it away. Let this life breathe anew and wrap me in your armor so that I might make it through.
Imago Dei: Evolution is what you say caused me to be. you open your mouth another lie falls out just to support your naturalistic view. You try to say that there’s no God just so actions are just that: yours! No purpose to life. Is that what you accept. I can’t understand the reasons why someone so apt can be so blind to all the facts. Look around, He’s made them clear. Your propaganda won’t faze me. I know I was handmade. If Darwin’s theory was the truth then I would be a monkey’s uncle picking the bugs off my back and living life without a care but I’m a man, a man whose worth is more precious than you can see so give into what is Truth and give up your hypocrisy. So God made them in His own image. Male and female He created them.
A Fine Line Between Love and War: I hate the way you drive me to the edge. The break is nearing. Walls are closing in. I feel you suffocating everything that’s good in me. I need to release this now before it’s too late. Negate His word and give into my ire or take your abuse and walk in stride. It is a fine line I tread, balancing so carefully. This power is not my own. It’s above me. You try to push me but I don’t push back. You lack understanding. Still you attack me. I can’t let it change me. Turn the other cheek. My reward is not of this world. Vengeance I won’t seek on you. You won’t drag me down now. You can't see all of me. I won't fall prey to your game!
Within the Throes of Anguish (new & unreleased): I want you to see who I really am. I struggle inside. Its so hard to admit. This pain I feel, these sins I hide This life that I feign all in the name of the father; it can't go on. I know right from wrong. The truth is within me, but time after time I fail and fall just like every other man. That doesn't make it right. These eyes, these hands, this toungue, this mind; all that I am struggling for what I know is inside of me. I’m falling away. This wicked life has done you wrong. Time after time I've sinned and I've turned just to say that I'm a chosen one. Deserving death, nothing less than the best is what you've given me. Everything that I am right now, in this moment I've chosen to be. Everything that's evil inside; sinful actions, this pleasure is fleeting. Escape, erase all this mess, spoken word, heart felt acceptance. Such a loss, three nails and a cross. Riches gained but undeservingly. Not in my power, your will gets me through an eternity. Repentance, the sentence is turned and I’m ripped from death. I feel the lies in me slowly die. Right here I'll stand, with you.
