Lyrics


1. FATHER FORGIVE THEM

Father forgive them, they know not what they do
Dancing with the devil, gonna walk all over you
Turn your back to reason, sanding on your pride
For everything's a season and there's no where you can hide

I don't know, I don't know where you're going
But time is so tight

Mother teach your children, your innocence won't last
Face the grand illusion, you hide behind the mask
Looking out for number one, you're running with the pack
You're living for the moment, the day is coming fast

Father forgive them, they know not what they do
They're taking their chances and playing with you
Over and over they don't count the cost
Sin after sin, nailed to the cross

Father forgive them, they know not what they do
They're taking their chances and playing with you
Over and over they don't count the cost
Sin after sin, nailed to the cross

2. I'LL BE WITH YOU

I'm not looking for an answer
Because I'll always know the truth
When I'm walking through the fire
I know I will never lose

I hear the sweet voice of the love I can't deny
I will surrender to the love I know is mine
I will remember your promises

When I'm cold, your arm's around me
When I'm high, you let me fly
When I fear, you are my refuge
You wipe the teardrop from my eye

I hear the sweet voice of the love I can't deny
I will surrender to the love I know is mine
I will remember what you always say

I'll be with you, all the way
I'll never leave you, I will not turn away
I'll be with you, all the way
I'll never leave you, you know my love will remain
My love will remain

3.WALK AWAY

Look at the violence that rages in your heart
Screaming in silence, it's tearing you apart
Burning with vengeance, need an answer for your soul
Consider the damage, got nothing you can show

And as you travel on the road of desperation
You always wonder what your life could be
And as you're going though the trials and tribulation
I hope someday you see what I see

The final solution is knocking at your door
It's not an illusion, you're a casualty of war
The need of the Savior is calling on the wind
Breaking the darkness, the new day will begin

And as you travel on the road of revelation
You always wonder what your life could be
And as you're going though the trials and tribulation
I hope someday you see what I see

(walk away!)
Walk away, you're a prisoner of lies
It's got a hold on you that makes you compromise
(walk away!)
Walk away, you're a prisoner of lies
It's only fear itself that keeps you chained alive

(walk away!)
Walk away, you're a prisoner of lies
It's got a hold on you that makes you compromise
(walk away!)
Walk away, you're a prisoner of lies
It's only fear itself that keeps you chained alive
Walk away

4. KINGDOM OF LIGHT

No more tears, no more pain, no more crying in the rain
No more sorrow, no more blame, in the kingdom of light
No more fear, no more lies, no temptation, open eyes
Finally found my piece of mind on the road to paradise

The revelation of the word is rocking the ages
Bringing solution to the world, the fire is raging on

Another time, another place, and we'll be standing face to face
Life will be an open page, in the kingdom of the light
No more night, no more day, everything has passed away
Got to find the narrow way that leads to paradise

The revelation of the word is rocking the ages
Bringing solution to the world, the fire is raging

Woe to the nations and kings of the earth
When heaven comes down for the final re-birth
Taking our place with the Ancient of Days
Ruling the kingdom of light

The kingdom of light!

Woe to the nations and kings of the earth
When heaven comes down for the final re-birth
Taking our place with the Ancient of Days
Ruling the kingdom of light

Woe to the nations and kings of the earth
When heaven comes down for the final re-birth
Taking our place with the Ancient of Days
Ruling the kingdom of light

The kingdom of light!

5. COUNTDOWN TO THE REVOLUTION

I've got a reason for living, I've got my eye on the sky
I know my sins are forgiven, and now I'm ready to die
When I survey all the madness, on the face of the earth
There's got to be retribution, to put an end to the curse

Countdown to the revolution
Don't you know judgment day is at hand?
Countdown to the revolution
Can't you see it's a part of the plan?

Take the law from the mountain, run to the book of life
With an army of angels, He will spare your life

Countdown to the revolution
Don't you know judgment day is at hand?
Countdown to the revolution
Can't you see it's a part of the plan?

Countdown to the revolution
It's your life in the palm of your hand
Countdown to the revolution
In the light, are you ready to stand?

Countdown to the revolution
Don't you know judgment day is at hand?
Countdown to the revolution
Can't you see it's a part of the plan?

Countdown to the revolution
It's your life in the palm of your hand
Countdown to the revolution
In the light, are you ready to stand?

7. RAT RACE

Like the movers and the shakers, I can feel the pressure burn
Like you, I'm caught up in the race
I'm addicted to the rush, under stress, a prisoner
And I don't even know my name

Sometimes I feel like I've been wasting precious time
Life passes by when you're slaving to the grind
What really matters when I cross the finish line
Am I wasting my life?

When I'm reaching for the answers I can never trust my lust
I'm only reaping what I sow
If I'm a lover of the money, I will never have enough
Can't take it with you when you go

Right now I feel like I've been wasting precious time
Life passes by when you're slaving to the grind
What really matters when I cross the finish line
I know I'm wasting my life

Caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's game
Living in the fast lane, and I'm burning the flame
Caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's gave
Living in the fast lane, and I'm feeling the strain
On my life, my life, on my life!

I can't take it any longer
I can not take much more, oh, no!
I won't waste it any longer
My life is mine no more

I'm caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's game
Living in the fast lane, and I'm burning the flame
Caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's gave
Living in the fast lane, and I'm feeling the strain

I'm caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's game
Living in the fast lane, and I'm burning the flame
Caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's gave
Living in the fast lane, and it's time for a change
In my life, my life, in my life!

Rat, rat, rat race!
Caught up in a rat race

8. FOR YOUR LOVE

I was crossing the line one too many times
I was living on the run
Turning my face from the scene of the crime
When I saw the smoking gun
Day after day I tried to find a new way
Tried to fill this emptiness
Nothing but tears, another wasted year
I was covered with loneliness

I'm not asking for your sympathy
I know I'm the one to blame

Life was taking it's toll, I was losing control
It was driving me insane
One look at you I finally knew
I had to change my evil ways

Let your mercy shine it's light on me
Let my heartache feel your touch
In my time of trial and agony
I never know I was so lost

Lost in a world without your love, it's the price I had to pay
You know I've been lonely for so long, (for your love)
Now that I finally found my way, back to your heart
I'm here to stay
You know I've been lonely for so long (for your love)

In my time of trial and agony
I never before knew I was so lost

Lost in a world without your love, it's the price I had to pay
You know I've been lonely for so long, (for your love)
Now that I finally found my way, back to your heart
I'm here to stay
You know I've been lonely for so long (for your love)

You know I've been lonely for your love

9. YOU ARE THE FIRE

I used to fight, I used to hide, I used to lie
Lost in the shadows of the night
I realize the sacrifice and now you're mine
I'll always have you by my side

All through the mud and the mire I know
You are the fire burning in my soul

The tables turn and now I learn I will survive
I see the answer in your eyes
You hold me tight all through the night, there's no disguise
And now I know your love's alive

All through the mud and the mire I know
You are the fire burning in my soul

Burning in my soul

You are the fire burning in my soul
You are the fire everywhere I go
You are the fire, burning in my soul
Fire, burning in my soul
