1. BEFORE MY COLD DEATH

And so my final hour of sorrow arrives
It’s presence harsh
Like the cold ash I consume
My lungs start to fail
I breathe my last...
No...there is light
I can see it through the black fog
If I could just...


2. SHADOW ASH

Alone I watch the petals fall one by one
As the rain beats down on the chapel roof
The memory of You quietly collects dust
The answers are somewhere within
But I watch and listen hoping for a voice
We had so much, now I am lost
Like sheep without a Sheppard
I wander on
Searching...waiting for You


3. KINGDOM OF THE NIGHT OWL

Falling into darkness
Waking into a mystical dream
With wings of death
Comes the night owl
Watching from above
Trapped like field mice
My heart beats fast
“Run! Run! Run!”
The forest comes alive
Stumbling through the forest creek, I fall
Only to see my night owl before me
I stand to my feet
Only to watch
My greatest Kingdom unfold


4. MOUNTAINCLOUD

I see the Mountaincloud
Far beyond the distance
The light shines through the sky
Beyond the Mountaincloud
I know the Heavens wait for me
My Father calls my name
He calls my name
Beyond the Mountaincloud


5. FIRE WITHIN THESE SCARS

As I face these days
Of never ending turmoil
I find myself dying each day
My fragile mind can only take so much
Will I die, will I live?
No! His love is stronger than that
As I face these weakened days
My only hope is Him
Give me strength o, Lord
I desperately call out Your name
This world has robbed me of my faith
And now I want it back
Now we see how fragile our minds are
We must break this bond
Which keeps us here
We see this test, we hear Your call


6. VANITAS

(Instrumental)


7. IN THE FOREST OF SORROW

I am so lost, I gave my heart
Only to take it back
And so I walk this forest alone
Remembering what I did to You
The leaves fall upon me
As sorrow’s grip subsides
The breeze catches my face
And draws it towards the sky
The clouds depart (I see Your Face)


8. BEYOND CLOSED DOORS

This door is locked and I am inside
Dwelling on thoughts of death
Searching for strength
That I will never find
I remember the pain You took
I know it was greater than mine
But I need answers
I need to hear Your voice
What have I endured compared to You
You died
So I wouldn't have to go through this
The blade drops to the floor as I stand
I eagerly walk toward the door
As it opens I am given a new sight
Remembrance consumes my soul


9. UPON NIGHT'S CREATION

The night shines
Over the grasslands
From the stars above
Nature surrounds the area
With the shady trees
And the night’s mist
The fields of grassland move
With the night’s wind
Leaves clatter up high in the trees
Creatures remain hidden
The water within the creek moves
As the fish follow its path
For here is a peaceful night
That the Lord has created


10. LOST IN ILLUSION

(Instrumental)


11. THROUGH DARKENED EYES

I am darker than black
See the scorn upon my face
Black blood runs through these veins
Lustful temptation is in my eyes
And I am staring straight at You
But Your eyes are staring into mine
I turn away
I fall to the floor
Why, why? Why Father why?
I am so weak...
