Lyrics


1. UNBROKEN

I'd cut out my eardrums, and gouge out my eyes
I'd rip out this wicked tongue, and set myself alight
'Cause I'd rather be deaf and dumb and fleshless and blind
Than feed this wicked horror that's growing inside

Here by my side, you lift me up high
Battered and broken, you heal my weary bones
And now that I am unbroken, I see you here
I know I am not alone (x2)

The darkness that feeds me yet leaves me to die
That wraps me in flesh, yet I'm still bleeding dry
Just run my soul through your flame and burn me alive
I need you to free me from this curse of man kind

Here by my side, you lift me up high
Battered and broken, you heal my weary bones
And now that I am unbroken, your right here
I know I am not alone (x2)

I've stumbled and fallen, I've desperately tried
To claw my way through this life to reach the on high
But I'd rather be deaf and dumb, fleshless and blind
Because the flesh that I've fought for, has left me to die
The darkness consumed me, it was there I found your light
It was only by your grace, that I could see you've always been right..

Here by my side, you lift me up high
Battered and broken, you heal my weary bones
And now that I am unbroken, your right here
I know I am not alone (x2)


2. RECLAIMED

Dirty rags wrapped around a man, far too familiar with a blade
The blood of the knife, the blood his life, can even this man be saved
Before the breath of dawn, I see the coming of death beyond
Seeking retribution, justified by the life it takes

Dirty rags wrapped around a babe, not yet to taste the blade
The blood of the knife, the blood of this life, must even this child be saved
Before breath of dawn, I see the coming of death beyond
Lord pray for him, that he passes over this place

Coming on the wind, destroyer of all sin
I hear the chariot wheels they spin
Coming on the wind, destroyer of all sin
The clock ticks for you my friend

Rain down from the sky, purifier of mankind
I hear the drawing of the blade
Rain down from the sky, purifier of all life
The clock ticks for you my friend

Death... it seeks to reclaim
By death, it seems to justify the pain
The scars emblazoned in his hands
Sacrificed, for all man
By death reclaimed

Let your blood wash me clean today, let me bask inside your grace
I humble myself as meek, your death angel he seeks
Pray for me, that he passes over this place

In death, reclaimed


3. ALPHA & OMEGA

Then the angel said to me, "These words are faithful and true
The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets...
Has sent His angel to show His servants what must soon take place"
Behold, I am coming quickly
And My reward is with Me
To give to each person according to what he has done
I am, the Alpha and Omega
The first and the last
The beginning and the end
I am the root of David
The bright morning Star

Blessed are those who wash, their robes in holy fire
That they may drink from the well of life
Cursed are those who love, to relish in their vile
Sorcerers, murders, idolaters

Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me
To give to each person according to what he has done

I am the Alpha and Omega
The first and the last
The beginning and the end
I am the root of David
The bright morning Star
The beginning and the end

Beware the holy fire, the blessed two edged sword
It purifies and and consumes alike
Take heed of whom you follow, you can't outrun my gaze
Omniscient, omnipotent, I Am

Blessed are those who wash their robes
So that they may have the right to the tree of life
And may enter the city by its gates
But outside are the dogs, the sorcerers
The sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters
And everyone who loves and practices falsehood
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!"
Let the one who hears say, "Come!"
And let the one who is thirsty come


4. ALL HAIL NOTHING

The god of dung, the lord of lies
Your words are meaningless like buzzing little flies
All you are to me is just another wretched flea, you cannot overpower me
Because the Son has set me free, can't you see
Your servants thrashing around, bleeding out on the ground
But you don't heed their call you've got no power at all
And at the end of days will come a reckoning
Your kingdom, your kingdom, your kingdom will fall

All hail, the king is coming in, you better bow your knee
He's the ruler of nothing, and no one heeds his call

So pathetic, life is wasted, prowling lion, with no teeth left
Hear him roar, he's got no bite, his claws are blunted, hollow threat
He's a snake, that's got no venom, struck the heel, but had his head crushed
No more power, been defeated, soon his reign is over

All hail, the monarch of the mud, here he comes again
He promised riches, power and fame, but it's not his to give

Honour squandered, trust betrayed, Lord of light cast into darkness
Chance to be an honoured angel, ruined it with your own pride
Tried to fight it, can't abide it, but your efforts led to nothing
Thought you'd won, you killed the Son, no one's ever been more wrong

You killed His Son
He was the only one
You sought to take His place
Enslave the human race
But what you didn't see
Is that it wasn't your victory
All hail nothing
All hail nothing
You're not a king, you're just a puppet on a string
So all hail nothing

All hail nothing
All hail nothing
All hail nothing
All hail
All hail


5. SILENCE OF THE SANDS

I listened to the Wizard, a man of great wisdom
And all became unclear
I listened to his promises of riches
Yet all became unclear

I see you, in the distant horizon
Your glory fills my eyes
And the wind carries your voice through the silence of the sands
And there I was found

I followed the Vampire, in hopes of eternal live
And all became so clear
I could see the death he crafted
And what I must become

I see you, in the distant horizon
Your glory fills my mind
And the wind carries your voice through the silence of the sands
And there I was found

I near lost to the Siren, a woman of great beauty
Her lips, they beckoned me
But alas I found the strength to turn away

I see you, in the distant horizon
Your glory melts my mind
And the wind carries your voice through the silence of the sands
And there I was found

Alone in the wilderness, I became a man
Alone without guide only divine hand
It was there I met the Father
The Spirit and the Son
It was there I learned my name
Swore my soul to the one
And now I am found
And now I am
