Lyrics

1. LEFT TO DIE

Wash my hands
Do as you will
Take jesus christ
To hang on the hill
No mercy was spared
On that day
Packed his cross
Paved the way
Nailed to a cross
For all to see
One in each hand
One in his feet
A crown of thorns
Placed on his head
Stabbed in his side
And left to die
The blood flowed
And has since that day
Saving us all
But only by grace
In romans ten you will see
How easy it is
To be set free
All this he's done for you
Gave his life
For you to choose
Through the blood
There is power
Cleansing, healing,
Eternal life
Three days had passed
What did they see
The stone rolled away
Not a big mystery
Jesus christ alive and well
Defeating death
And conquering hell
Said he would go
To prepare us a place
For those who
Follow and obey
Christ will return
His arms open wide
Together his church
To reign by his side


2. REGRET

Stone cold in the grave
Six feet under
In your little cave
Death you thought
Was the only answer
Then life forgot
And hell begun
Lost alone in the place
Grasping for something
Trying to keep face
Your head is above water
Only to give
Your suffocating
Dying to live
Wanted to die
But always denied
Never believe
In being set free
You decided which way
You would go

Now death begins
Finally you're there
And life is gone
The tour was short
And now it's done
You had the chance
To turn it around
Now your washed away
Under ground
Remorse and regret
Of wasted time spent
When out of control
A puppet to the master
Of your soul
To blind to see
In hell you dwell
Dying to live


3. DIVERSIONS

Hypocritical diversions
Your life's a pit of death
Sowing seeds of abomination
Blinded to the i am's light

Keep going in your ways
You'll split hell wide open
While your pride and your lies
Dissipate in darkness
Hear the cry to repent
Your sins will find you out
Diversions

Knowing the truth
Received the seed
Yet you reveal in carnality
Preach his word
Speak satan's lies
Slowly becoming fossilized

Keep going in your ways
You'll split hell wide open
While your pride and your lies
Dissipate in darkness
Hear the cry to repent
Your sins will find you out
Diversions

Hypocritical diversions
Total death is in sight
South of heaven
Is where you'll go
If you don't release your soul
Keep going in your ways
You'll split hell wide open
While your pride and your lies
Dissipate in darkness


4. DECEIVED

No eye has seen
No ear has heard
No mind conceived
What god has prepared
For those who believe
A man without god
Does not accept
Can't understand
Because he is spiritually dead

Here is the wise
Here is the scholar
Live for today
Nothing else matters
Heaven is now
Death is tomorrow
Wake up you foolish man

A time is coming
When all shall see
The splendor and glory
Awaiting you and me
Where will you be
When facing god
When all your knowledge
Won't mean a lot

Here is the wise
Here is the scholar
Live for today
Nothing else matters
Heaven is now
Death is tomorrow
Wake up you foolish man

And now you see
You should have believed
But it's too late
To enter heaven's gates
The gnashing of teeth
Where the worm dieth not
You made your home
Where you reside
Now where is the wise
Where is the scholar
He lived for that day
Now everything matters
Reality of false teaching
Foolishness in his wisdom
Cost him his
Do not deceive yourself


5. IN DOUBT

I cannot understand
Why this is happening to me
I can't understand at all
Going through pains
I can't understand
I just want to be free
My soul is confused
By these troubles of life
Dear god
Why is this happening to me
I question my life
And the way that i live
Am i not good enough for you
Why must i go
Through these things
Are your holy words not true

For your thoughts
Are not my thoughts
Neither are your ways my ways
I am the truth and the life
Cast your cares on me
If i watch over the birds
And care when they fall
How much more
Will i relieve your strife

Just like job
In the days of old
Great troubles have come my way
But just like him
You will deliver me
And make the path way straight
So if i lean on you
In times of doubt
And know that you
Are there walking with me
When i need you the most
You ease my despair

For your thoughts
Are not my thoughts
Neither are your ways my ways
I am the truth and the life
Cast your cares on me
If i watch over the birds
And care when they fall
How much more
Will i relieve your strife


6. BLACK DEATH

Black as death
Soul not at rest
Demons feast
Ignorance
Total despair
Tremble in fear
Driven down
In a blank stare
There's no choice
But to hear his voice
A fest of mind and soul
Think your in control
A weak heart
He'll rip apart
No mercy no care
Forever screams
Of horror and pain
You'll now feel
Reality is pain
You'll now feel
Reality is now hell


7. SO CALLED UNITY

They all talk of unity
From the problems
We face everyday
Why should we encourage
What's just talk anyway
Your impulsive jealousy
Where's the so called unity
You're mentally untrusting
And definitely not inspiring
Resume your place
Among this mess
The wisest of the rest
Knowledge you'll never possess
Compensated
For single mindedness
Bored with life
You turn to test
Battle ground for pettiness
Pick at flies to justify
Tempers raised you wonder why
Why it's totally unacceptable
Come support god's scene
It's just another target
Harassed to the extreme


8. FAITH

Faith is the hope
In things not seen
You have to believe
In god first to receive
Through faith we understand
The word of god the truth
To reject his words
Would mean death to you
This is the confidence
We have in him
To ask anything a
According to his will
Spiritual assurance
Answers to prayers
Never to allow
More than we can bare
Prepares you for battles
And personal attacks
Guides you on your way a
And never turns his back
Just be a believer
A promise from god the overseer
By believing receiving
Heaven shall be home
No more temptation
To try to lead you wrong
Your faith in god
Was the key
That set your soul free
Eternally all things believe
Whatsoever you ask in prayer
Believing you shall receive
All things believing shall receive


9. THE WILL

Holy and faithful
My brothers in christ
Peace to you
Be praying and asking
To be filled with wisdom
And understanding
And knowledge of his will
His will
His will

Live a life worthy of the lord
Bearing good fruit
Growing in his word
Gaining power and might
Rejoice for the
Forgiveness of sins
His will
His will

Rejoice in which was suffered
For you in regards to
Christ's afflictions
The love for his church
God's chosen people
Give thanks
The blood was shed for you
His will
His will
His will be done


10. DWELL IN

If sin builds the temple
The temple is to dwell
In the pit of hell
Walking the line
Till your out of time
Out of control
Guiding your soul to hell
Fighting with the inner man
For freedom in your soul
A death grip from hell
Was sent but
Has to let go
It's time to believe
It's time to receive
Time to take a stand
If christ builds the temple
The temple is to dwell
In his perfect will
Clearing your life
From sin of mankind
Never out of control
Or satan guiding your soul
Peace with the inner man
Freedom in your soul
God sent his son to show
You the way to go
It's time to believe
It's time to receive
Time to take a stand


11. ONE LIVING GOD

Buddha mere dust
In the earth
Muhammad can't provide
The new birth
Zeus is but a fairy tale
Dead unrepented followers
Will burn in the reality of hell

One living god
Mighty blood
To cleanse your soul

Tear the false gods to shreds
Destruction brought on
By the power of the word
No other sacrifice
Can save your soul


12. ELIMINATION

Solitude is a wisdom
Infinite immortality
Pride can't be a factor
I don't believe in destiny
We always choose our leaders
A true democracy
But money is their idol
I can't believe this blasphemy
Damnation of the nation
Fall from god
Elimination
Damnation of a nation
Far from god
Elimination
Your life's a tragedy
Your soul a fallacy
And when this is trough
There's no reward for you
In your conversations
God is left out
Seems we never worry
What life is about
Damnation of the nation
Fall from god
Elimination
Damnation of a nation
Far from god
Elimination
What about in god we trust
Has that nation gone to waste
We lowered the standard
And turned our backs
Making a mockery
Of this place
We need to stand together
And fight in spiritual warfare a
And bring god back
To the united states
Damnation of the nation
Fall from god
Elimination
Damnation of a nation
Far from god
Elimination


13. GET BEHIND ME

Christ bore all sin and pain
Gave his life
A sacrifice
Alive from dead
Defeated the grave
Power is ours
Through his name
Death has no power over me
Death where is your sting
This flesh shall rot
But my soul lives on
Death has been
Swallowed up in victory
Evil has been defeated
We are covered by his blood
Corpses to this world
Get behind me satan
Get behind me satan
Get behind me satan
Get behind me satan


14. INTRO

(Instrumental)


15. KING OF TYRE

You tried to make yourself God
Walked in Eden, the Garden of God
Cast down from Heaven
Cast down from Heaven

Perfect in all your ways
Until sin was found in you
Reserved in darkness for all days
Burning fire is waiting for you
Cast down from Heaven
Cast down from Heaven

Cast down from Heaven
Cast down from Heaven

You have been stripped of all your power
Cast down for all to see
Quickly approaching is your hour
You will be cast into that fiery sea
Cast down from Heaven
Cast down from Heaven


16. AMONG THE DEAD

Crack open your eyes
For the first time
You realize you're
Among the dead
A sea of endless corpses
Empty cold remains
You try to talk to them
But see it's not the same
As before you were risen
From the grave
Alive in christ
Now upon the mountain top
You can see both far and wide
Their empty sunken faces
And cannibalistic minds
They eat each others skulls
And chew each others bones
Psychopathic mongering
They're dead with
Hearts of stone
Kill feed
Death is all they know
It's time to shed light
On their disease


17. CHILLING FEAR

In the dark are you afraid
You can't see me
But i am here
In the dark
You feel the chill
That chill is me
Coming near you
When darkness falls
I'll be there
To watch your soul
Wither and fade
To feed your thoughts
And nightmares
I am fear, be my slave
Be my slave
Enslaved in the
Name of fear
Insane, driven mad
By darkened days
Dismayed
Will never be the same
Look back and see
The light that's faded
Is just a trepidating dream
Outdo the sickening lies
Of fear itself
It has no power
That we don't give
Fear has no power
Of its own
Over those in christ alone


18. OPEN MIND, STRAIGHT TO HELL

Open mind straight to hell
Satan rings
Your dinner bell
How wide should
This mind be open
Big enough
To fall right through
Renew your mind in christ
Jesus christ
Don't let an open mind
Seal your fate
Keep your faith
Where it belongs
You'll let satan keep
Your life in check
But not our father
Becoming reprobate
Renew your mind in christ
Jesus christ
Faith be your brakes
So go do your voodoo
Wickan spell
And take it with you
Straight to hell
Renew your mind in christ
Jesus christ
