Lyrics

1. FACEKICKER

No one saw it coming, it hit us from behind
The universe did not rehearse the way it would unwind
We didn't expect it
We can't correct it

Rile up the troopers, they'll do the task at hand
When blood is spilled the crowd is thrilled, the fire's flame is fanned
You know who's lurking
The Devil's working

Don't listen to his words
Don't believe in his lies
It's you he'll despise
Kick some face! We'll fight him 'til we die

Don't run away
Fight him 'til we die

Now he builds an army of soldiers unaware
His fists are tight, his knuckles white, he lures you to his lair
Then comes the bait
He feeds off hate

Rile up our troopers who see in different light
With open eyes we see his lies, we'll change what's wrong to right
We now expect it
We can correct it


2. THE RELEASE

Say the words and play the fool
Plug your nose and eat the gruel
Save your thinking for the rest
They know what's best
So don't act strange and never change
Or rearrange yourself

Even though the problem's gone
Part of me cannot move on
A blank stare is what remains
A blank stare is all that's...

Lost before a search
Pain before relief
Conflicted resolution
Tension before

Release me, I can't live on this way
Choke all the lies I'm breathing
Release

I sold you and you sold me
Our freedom is our slavery
Your crime is in your thoughts
And how it rots
Don't understand that it was planned
Who had a hand in it

The minority of one
Cannot ever get things done
Don't ask me, I'm just one man
Don't ask me, I am just...


3. I AM COMMANDER

The machine
So wonderful and obscene
Can I balance right and wrong
Seventeen years I planned my revenge, I avenge

Trust myself to do what's right
My life is in my hands
No one else will take that

Caught between
Separated by line unseen,
Spinning upward to the ground
Exit air if I dare I welcome the unknown

Not one day has worry added to my life
Trouble worries for itself
Years have passed me by
I've wasted them now my mind's in disarray
I'm not that far away

Free at last
I've forgotten all the past
Slowing down, watch the earth set
Taken all in stride, pariah does not mean the end
Of the world, of the world

Never going back


4. WONDER

You are the One, world-beater
Never say die, sin eater, Saviour
Glorious power radiates
Your kingdom come, we will await
Champion victorious
And you did it all for me

Many times I wonder why you
Stretched across the cross for me
Your life for my life, now I live to give you glory
I do not deserve it your concern remains a mystery
This song is sung to raise up your name in majesty

You had the power to show them
Strike 'em all down, one blow, Saviour
You took the pain like a man
Suffered and died, all pre-planned
Master of Heaven
Where I'll spend eternity

6. YESTERDAY'S TOMORROW, TODAY

I built my house
Firm upon a foundation of sand
Piece by piece building a shell of a man
Bottle of wine
Warm my spirit while I have time
Thinking I am wise
Safe in my room with a view

I am the king of
Lies that are loyal unto me
If I stay in my kingdom
I make the rules so
I pick the fools
And I know it won't be me

Big fish is me
In an ocean the size of a seed
Swimming the shallows of my piety
Sun in my eyes
I avert them to buy me some time
Longing for the deep
Safe in my pool, nothing new


7. 11TH HOUR

Every minute longer brings you closer to your last
When everything is said and done will you regret your past
You can't walk the fence forever
Soon it will be now or never
You're not above this fate
Time won't discriminate

Rise and decide
Or hide and cower
You must decide
Before you reach
The 11th hour

You are trying to ignore it; procrastination
The hour hand keeps spinning to its destination
It is easy to look away
Pillars of choice start to decay
Pressure increases fast
A vote must soon be cast


8. SUBVENIO

(instrumental)


9. ANTHEM OF THE WORLD

Rise up children of Adam and sing for we have been rescued
The darkness that overshadowed the Earth is clearing
Now look see what the future brings hope for all of eternity
Evil has lost its power and good will reign supreme

The battle is already won
The new era has begun

Hope, hope that shines
Lighting up the darkest corners
Peace now in place
Evil set to waste away forever

Now we sing with a glad heart and chase away all the fears of
World without purpose lacking a reason, vision
Earth cried out from the depths of her misery, she will no longer weep
See the joy of creation the way it's meant to be

Praise be now to the one who has authored this shining kingdom come
Crown him master of Terra a mighty saviour
All hail now to His Majesty praise for we're given amnesty
The old tyrant is dead and forgotten, legions cast away
