1. YOU GET WHAT YOU PRAY FOR

All of a sudden this big world will end
Billions of people will wish it never began

Let’s pray
Let’s pray

No amount of wisdom, stature or wealth
Will impress the ever-loving God or Christ Himself

Let’s pray
Let’s pray
Let’s pray
Oh yeah!

You get what you pray for
Forgiveness and grace, Lord
Oh! That’s what I need
You get what you pray for
Salvation is there for you
Get on your knees
Get on your knees

Do you really think that God grades on a curve?
When all of the answers are found in the Word

Let’s pray
Let’s pray

Who shall you blame when you’re standing in flames?
Ya can’t pray to Jesus, He won’t know your name

Let’s pray
Let’s pray
Let’s pray
Oh yeah!

You get what you pray for
And that’s what it’s there for
Oh! That’s what I need
You get what you pray for
And God knows what’s best for you
Get on your knees

You say there’s so many things that you need
You never get them ‘cause they would deceive (you)
A man can’t stumble when he’s on his knees
So let us pray!

All of sudden God’s grace will be torn
Billion’s of hell bound will wish they never were born

Let’s pray
Let’s pray

None of your excuses or shattering yells
Will turn the head of God who once called for your help

Let’s pray
Let’s pray
Let’s pray
Oh yeah!

You get what you pray for
And that’s what it’s there for
Oh! That’s what I need
You get what you pray for
What more could you ask for
But ya gotta believe!

You say there’s so many things that you need
You never listen so you won’t receive
Seek first the kingdom
He knows what you need before you pray

You get what you pray for


2. WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE

Imaginations running wild
Innocent they seem
Polluting your mind
A formulated scheme

The battle, it starts in your mind
A lesson to be learned
Provoking thoughts only cause the sin
That provoking thoughts have earned

Cast down imaginations of every high thing
That dare exalts itself against the knowledge of God

The weapons of our warfare
Powerful they are
No nuclear warfare attacks
Can bring these strongholds down

To take dominion over Satan’s own ground
Rise up with the sword of God and put your armor on

And the weapons of our warfare aren’t carnal!

Imaginations running wild
Innocent they seem
They’ve polluted your mind
The formulated scheme

The battle, it started in your mind
A lesson to be learned
Provoking thoughts only caused the sin
That provoking thoughts have earned

Cast down imaginations of every high thing
That dare exalts itself against the knowledge of God

And the weapons of our warfare


3. MULLIGAN’S STEW

Friday night is coming so you’re saving all your money
‘Cause you need to buy some Buds and some beer
You won’t be doing nothing ‘cause you spent up all your money
So you smoke until you choke and drink your beer all alone

You drank up all your beer and you’re feeling fine
You look up at the clock, it’s only quarter till nine
So you woof a bunch of munchies ‘cause there’s nothing to do
But when you find they don’t mix, you’re chuckin’ Mulligan stew

Now you’re moving up
Smoking major league base balls
Your price is getting higher each hit
The night keeps getting longer
A couple hits will make you stronger
So ya smoke another 8-ball and get deeper in debt

You’ve got this young blonde
Who’s as thin as a dime
She’s inhaling all your blow and leaving nothing behind
As your debt keeps coming with the rising sun
When you look for what you want
You know that she’ll be gone
(You got it)

Jesus Christ is coming
So we’ve got to get ready
For broad is the road to death
Jesus hasn’t come to call the righteous (but the sinners)
For all have fallen short of the glory of God


4. DOME OF THE ROCK

I’m going back to the Dome of the Rock
Ages past, that’s where it all began
So unlock those secrets of the past
Soon be changing hands

A sign in the center of the earth for all to see
A question mark of difference in belief
A clock that marks the time of future past
Oh, counting down real fast

Ash turns to ash
Dust turns to dust
Destiny strikes, oh, and face it we must
Show me the city suspended in time
Mysteries unfold
Don’t leave me behind

Go back to the Dome of the Rock
Ages past, that’s where it all began
Unlock those secrets of the past
Soon be changing hands
Dome of the Rock

Shake
The Mount of Olives split in two
It’s Armageddon through and through
And when the smoke clears there’ll be few
Age of grace where are you?

City of refuge your time has drawn near
Redemption upon us
Wrestle your fears
Enigmas are solved and the word has evolved
It speaks without error
I hear the call

Come back to the Dome of the Rock
Ages past, that’s where it all began
Unlock those secrets of the past
It’ll soon be changing hands
Dome of the Rock

Cross that line one more time and it might just be the end
Holy war, Yom Kippur, what are we fighting for?
Neither side’s gonna bend
It’s all so fast when the trumpet blasts
Soon we’re gonna hear the call
Rich or poor through the door
They aint gonna wait no more
They’re gonna break down the walls

Go back to the Dome of the Rock
Ages past, that’s where it all began
Unlock those secrets of the past
Soon be changing hands

Go back to the Dome of the Rock
Ages past, that’s where it all began
Unlock those secrets of the past
Soon be changing hands
Dome of the Rock


5. OBSESSIONS

As the dollar exchanges the hand of many
There lie the poor who dream of having enough for today
The rich control the government while the gangs control the streets
It’s hand against the sword till the strong take out the weak

It’s all a competition
To see who will get the bigger bite
Men driven by obsessions
The more they get the more they want
To have it all, they gotta see
They’re plagues upon the wall

You gave up all your rights as you turned to the needle
And now you’ve gone so far, there is no turning back
Do what it takes, you’ve gotta have it all
There’s something in your blood that pulls the number
Makes a call

It doesn’t really matter if you lose it all
Just as long as you feed this desire inside of you
Can’t you see you’re destroying your life?
Turn away it’s not what it’s made out to be
Oh! Don’t you see?
There’s a dead end there for you

Blinding obsessions
Blinding obsessions
Blinding obsessions
Blinding obsessions

Blinding obsessions
Blinding obsessions
Blinding obsessions
Blinding obsessions


6. COVER ME

Feeling better
Now that I understand
Just what you require
And I know that I’ll win ‘cause I can
Knowing that you set the standard for me

All in all
It’s really not what I had expected to see
Lately though
I’ve been a learning that it’s only just between you and me
And what’s all this talk about a ball and a chain?
Can’t you see all the freedom I’ve gained?
Cover me

I’ve got to give all the good that I can get out of me
I know the bad gives me trouble but I shows me I need
A little help just to lead me along
Pick me up, shake my dust and move on
Cover me

Real as it is
It doesn’t means it’s easy to believe what I see
Now and again
You know I’d like for you to tell me that things are okay
Wish it was as easy as a phone call away
‘Cause I could use some advice here today
Cover me

I’ve got to give all the good that I can get out of me
I know the bad gives me trouble but I shows me I need
A little help just to lead me along
Pick me up, shake my dust and move on
Cover me

Feeling better now that I understand
You said that everything matters
Just remember those prints in the sand
And the end will justify these means

I’ve got to give all the good that I can get out of me
I know the bad gives me trouble but I shows me I need
A little help just to lead me along
Pick me up, shake my dust and move on
Cover me

I’ve got to give all the good that I can get out of me
A little help just to lead me along
Pick me up, shake my dust and move on
Cover me


7. EXIT (EUTHANASIA)

(No lyrics available)


8. JOURNEY OF RECONCILIATION

His eyes could hardly see the long road ahead
Blood and sweat dripped down His face as He was lead
His body was beaten, far beyond repair
They thought He was just a man but He was the Son of God

This man was not guilty of any sin
He had done nothing wrong, He was innocent
He chose to take all the world’s wrong
And take it down to the abyss

The journey continued to the place called The Skull
Step by step He staggered on, the sky was getting dull
On and on He kept up with this pain He must take
He went through this when will the world wake

Jesus Christ is the only Son of God
He did all this for you because He loved you

Many were weeping, many more laughing
Many were mocking, many were scorning
This man would do what no one understood
The sacrifice was made by God’s own right hand

This man was not guilty of any sin
He had done nothing wrong, He was innocent
He chose to take all the world’s wrong
And take it down to the abyss

The journey continued to the place called The Skull
Step by step He staggered on, the sky was getting dull
On and on He kept up with this pain He must take
He went through this when will the world wake

Jesus Christ is the only Son of God
He did all this for you because He loved you

At last the arrival at Calvary’s hill
They tore off his rove and naked He stood
They nailed Him to a cross they got their wish
But in three days they’d never guess

He rose from the grave!
He rose from the dead!
He rose from the grave!
He rose from the dead!


9. VICTORY

An innocent man’s blood was shed
Foretold this was in past
It will cleanse the people from their sin
Forever the covering lasts

There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins
The price has now been paid
For you!

The sacrifice has now been made
We are saved by His blood
Having done all to stand
In victory from above

There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins
The price has now been paid
For you!

The time has come for you to choose
Choose whom you will serve
As for me and my band
Christ we have chose to serve

For victory
Victory!


10. IF EVER MARIA...

- “I want you to be realistic!”
- “I am being realistic!”

Mountains of regret crashing into me
Towering over me and weighing me down
My body stretched between the place I accuse
And the fever of the sky and ground

Racing through a landscape of trust
Taking more than I must, killing time with the speed
Mountains of regret crashing over me
I was missing in her time of need

Deep in her arms, deep in her soul
I’m burning, yearning, twisting, turning, aching to fall
But for the thrill of loving her still
I’d forfeit ever loving at all, at all

Wilderness in her eyes raging
Searching into me with flashes of fire
My arms outstretched to clutch the branches of pride
Yet I long to chase the winds of desire

Bitter - the rain washing over the hillside
Reminding me of how it once was long ago
Wilderness in her touch enchanting
But the painful part was loving her so

Deep in her arms, deep in her soul
I’m burning, yearning, twisting, turning, aching to fall
But for the thrill of loving her still
I’d forfeit ever loving at all, at all

Plunging down the waterfall into the arms
The only love together we found
Sweeter than memories and deeper than wounds
Under mountains of regret crashing down

Deep in her arms, deep in her soul
I’m burning, yearning, twisting, turning, aching to fall
But for the thrill of loving her still
I’d forfeit ever loving at all

Deep in her arms, deep in her soul
I’m burning, yearning, twisting, turning, aching to fall
But for the thrill of loving her still
I’d forfeit ever loving at all, at all

Burn it all
Burn it all
Burn it all
Loving it all


11. BLACK HARVEST

Death is reaping harvest black
Hell’s burning at your feet
Satan growing day by day
Inch by inch every week
Slaughtered babies in the trash
Maimed and cut apart
Nothing is right, nothing is wrong
Tribulations come

Run from me
Hide from me

Death is painting every heart
Sorrow and misery
Gates of sin, they hold you in
Reckoning your defeat
Planting seeds of agony
Coming as no surprise
Vine is growing around your neck
Choking you alive

Run from me
Hide from me

Black harvest
Black harvest
Black harvest
Black harvest

Souls of people gone astray
Following what they see
Heading for the slaughter house
Satan points and leads
God of darkness in this world
Father of the lies
Taking from them all he can
Satan laughs as they fry

Run from me
Hide from me

Black harvest
Black harvest
Black harvest
Black harvest

Black harvest
Black harvest
Black harvest
Black harvest


12. BATTLE OF THE FLESH

Pleasures of the flesh seem sweet
Worldly thoughts rush in
We fight and fight for mind control
Our weakness turns to sin

Pride of man makes him fall
And lust is in his eyes
Such a battle that we’re in
Darkness feeds us lies, lies, lies

Evil forces of this world
Passions guide our way
Anger turns our hearts to stone
And robs the words we say

It’s a Battle of the Flesh
With the rulers of the air
We have power in the Son
Power we can share

Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh

Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh

Pride of man makes him fall
And lust is in his eyes
Such a battle that we’re in
Darkness feeds us lies

Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh

1, 2, 3, 4!

Pleasures of the flesh seem sweet
Worldly thoughts rush in
We fight and fight for mind control
Our weakness turns to sin

Pride of man makes him fall
And lust is in his eyes
Such a battle that we’re in
Darkness feeds us lies, lies!

Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh

Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh


13. PSYCHO SURGERY

Cranial vault the mind’s map paved by heart and soul’s aim
Transfer of DNA forms the cerebral mainframe
Just like a computer, garbage in, garbage out
Subdural detour shuns the embrace of logic and reason
Shrouded in doubt

Divine mental biopsy reveals you need psycho surgery
The renewing of your mind by cosmic mirror

Spiritual angiography illustrates the mind’s sorry state
Barnacle ridden psyche man’s own demise to demonstrate
Burrowing mole exposes the dry rot within
Abundance of wormwood, euphorism for sin

Divine mental biopsy reveals you need psycho surgery
By His Spirit the symptoms are starting to clear

Blind cavefish, inbred victim of ocular atrophy
Inky blackness everywhere, there’s no reason to see
Wait is someone there? I can feel the heat
Limbs wax useless, help me, can’t rise to my feet

Divine mental biopsy reveals you need psycho surgery
A shred of truth is illuminated by miner’s light
Divine mental biopsy reveals you need psycho surgery
From the first touch a faint pulse begins to appear


14. GIVE ME AN ANSWER

I’ve never known how far it’s gone
I didn’t even try to hold on
So many faces, all I need
Why do I have to beg and plead?
Not to mention mass deception
How do I have to get your attention?
I got your number, don’t even bother
You’ve gotta serve just one or the other

Give me an answer now
Yeah, you’re taking your chances down

No mistaking, it’s hard to keep shaking it
I know this town is a bad, bad scene
Walk that line, waste no time
I know that then you’ll be doing fine
You’ve gotta take a hold of my hand
And I’ll show you just what to do
Nothing to lose, the world to gain
Never gonna play their game

Give me an answer now
Yeah, you’re taking your chances down
Better give me an answer now
Yeah, you’re taking your chances down

Sometimes life can sting
I think you know what I mean
Ain’t gonna take it anymore
I’m tired of lies and the compromise
I think we should throw it out the door
I keep persisting, you keep resisting
Well, it’s gonna have to end
Now your out of slack, you better face the facts
Well it’s time to make amends

Give me an answer now
Yeah, you’re taking your chances down
Better give me an answer now
Yeah, you’re taking your chances down


15. BEFORE THE TIME

Follow me, let the dead bury their own dead
Have not fear, I am here, this is what He said
When He had come unto the other side
They cried out, gripped in fear knowing the time line

Swept away by the terror that a man should have
Learn from demon forces this lesson and
You will be, if you see, one among the wise
In the age, we are in just before the time

When I say “see” I mean to change
Based on the facts, you re-arrange
Just what you do, who for, and why
Learn from the pig’s before the time

When I say “see” I mean to change
Based on the facts, you re-arrange
Just what you do, who for, and why
Learn from the pig’s before the time

The demons recognized Jesus on sight
They screamed in fear and shook in fright
Confused in their madness, it’s pigs they choose
The snakes of confusion (ala Lucifuge)

Here is why you should change, and not delay
Check it out, they understood the whole thing
Torment is for the ones who reject God’s sign
The resurrection and for the lie

You’ve got the time to make the change
That is, you’ve got right now today
To live and serve, the Holy King
You do not know what a day may bring

The time is coming, there’ll be no delays
God has stretched out His hand that you might be saved
No reason is good enough to wait
Repent to God, don’t hesitate!

The torment is coming, just a matter of dying
The peace in Christ’s here and I’m not lying
Salvation God offers and you can’t pay a dime
That’s the gig, this is it, but there’s one more line

The time is coming...
