1. REAP WHAT YOU SOW

It's been said you reap what you sow
And now we see it everyday on the news
It seems we are only ever seconds away
From another disaster brought on by ourselves
We build cities right on top of fault lines
Loan more money than can ever be repaid
We use weapons of war to remove leaders
All the while it's the innocent who pay

Reap what you sow, legacy of mankind
Reap what you sow, written in our history
Reap what you sow, it happens time and time again
Reap what you sow, it is the human way

We sell alcohol to alcoholics
We sell pharmaceuticals to drug addicts
We let murderers purchase guns to kill with
We allow our youth to consume endless violence
We draw power from nuclear reactions
That we do not even fully understand
We smash atoms to discover particles
That we cannot reliably predict

Reap what you sow, legacy of mankind
Reap what you sow, written in our history
Reap what you sow, it happens time and time again
Reap what you sow, it is the human way

The problem with all of this is the innocent who suffer
For the wrongs of foolish men who came before them
Planting seeds of destruction and then watching them burn
Acting surprised when house of cards falls down
Could there not be wise ones who lead the way amongst us
Guiding us to a better way of thinking
So that we can learn from history's mistakes
And look to God to find a better way

Are we sowing the destruction of earth
Have our leaders truly not learned a thing
History tells us that they never really learn
And so the cycle will continue again
We just march on further into carnage
It is the only way we have ever been
Let us seek God to find an answer to this mess
And crawl our way out of the mire

Reap what you sow, legacy of mankind
Reap what you sow, written in our history
Reap what you sow, it happens time and time again
Reap what you sow, it is the human way


2. END OF DAYS

Marching forward in God's army
Moving on in unison
This is war and we will win
Armour on strong, spirit within

Sword and spear, prepared to die
We will fight on by his side
Looking death straight in the eye
White horse rider in the sky

Armies on the rise, time to pick your side
It's the end of days
As the demons hide you can see it in their eyes
It's the end of days
End is very near, march on with no fear
It's the end of days
Evil will be slain, there will be no pain
It's the end of days

Now it's time to make your stand
Choose this day who you will serve
It is clear we've made our choice
To stand for God until the end

Armies on the rise, time to pick your side
It's the end of days
As the demons hide you can see it in their eyes
It's the end of days
End is very near, march on with no fear
It's the end of days
Evil will be slain, there will be no pain
It's the end of days


3. KILL YOUR IDOLS

Crave the attention, a major affliction
15 minutes is all we want, no matter what the cost
Famous for nothing, we whore ourselves out
The highest bidder takes what they want, leaves us begging for more

Paper god tucked away, the love of which leads us astray
The object of worship, we do what we must
Whilst standing on those who get in our way
Empires built and crumbled to dust, all for nought, but still we lust

Running towards what we want
What's behind is beginning to rot
Ash to ash and dust to dust
Left behind when the breathing stops

The latest gadget, that brand new toy
A collection of objects which don't do a thing
Whatever we want, it comes at a cost
Nothing's forever except what matters most

Running towards what we want
What's behind is beginning to rot
Ash to ash and dust to dust
Left behind when the breathing stops

And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp
That he saw the calf, and the dancing and Moses' anger waxed hot
And he cast the tables out of his hands, and broke beneath the mount
And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire
And ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water
And made the children of Israel drink of it

Kill your idols (x8)


4. SILENT SCREAM

I can't stand being in this place no more
I'm sick and tired of this daily routine
I feel crushed, my well has run dry
I've had enough of this stagnant life

These days it is the case that every little thing is getting to me
I fear I've become bitter and twisted, I badly need to escape
I'm struggling to find answers within my life philosophy
It seems sometimes the only answer is to look the other way

Frustration making me give out silent screams
Repression is causing me to let out silent screams
No other outlet except for my silent screams
Every part of me is letting out silent screams

I'm not a depressed person but this is killing me
So frustrated, I just want to let things be
But how can I when everyone is pushing me
So I stand in the corner and give out a silent scream

Frustration making me give out silent screams
Repression is causing me to let out silent screams
No other outlet except for my silent screams
Every part of me is letting out silent screams

I know change is on the horizon
It's the here and now that's killing me
A little patience and the odd forced smile
Is all that I have to get me by

I ask myself why is it the case that it always ends this way
I get so jaded and by that time it's always way too late
I need to deal with this situation and make a positive change
I look to the example of Christ and follow him in his holy ways

Frustration making me give out silent screams
Repression is causing me to let out silent screams
No other outlet except for my silent screams
Every part of me is letting out silent screams


5. VICTORY OR DEATH

Life can be tough, but who cares, I play to win
I am alive, and I'm strong, that's all that counts
With God by my sight and a war to fight
There's just one dream that I choose to follow

I've been through pain all of my life
I ain't gonna let it bring me down
Through faith I have found an inner strength
I refuse to ever give up or ever give in

We fight to the end, never giving in
We are the victors, it's victory or death
Courage to stand tall, fighting one for all
We are the victors, it's victory or death

Those men of faith who came before
They did not hide or run from the fight
They stood as one, yeah they stood their ground
Now we follow on down the path they cleared for us

I've been through pain all of my life
I ain't gonna let it bring me down
Through faith I have found an inner strength
I refuse to ever give up or ever give in

We fight to the end, never giving in
We are the victors, it's victory or death
Courage to stand tall, fighting one for all
We are the victors, it's victory or death


6. GHOST LIGHT

This presence felt throughout centuries
Permeates the edge of the void
Difficult to pinpoint but certainly there
God is like the force of the wind
Every time we try to deny
We see a sign to lead the way

Evidence of celestial majesty
Intangible yet concrete and sure
Certainty of the presence of God
Evidence in the pull of our hearts
Common sense denies yet somehow confirms
A truth we know, all that is sure

Some kinda ghost light
Shining across the land
Some kinda ghost light
Brighter than the light of the sun
Some kinda ghost light
Shining across the land
Some kinda ghost light
Brighter than the light of the sun

We see him everywhere his light is all around
Impossible to prove the presence of God
Yet unmistakenly it is there for all to see
Written in the stars, written in our heart

Some kinda ghost light
Shining across the land
Some kinda ghost light
Brighter than the light of the sun
Some kinda ghost light
Shining across the land
Some kinda ghost light
Brighter than the light of the sun

We see God in the night time sky
The impossible distance clearly there
The mind-blowing smallness of the atom
Made up still of quantum parts
He is the alpha and omega, beginning and end
He is the force that binds us all


7. COMING HOME

I've been straying away from the things that I hold and now it's time
To reconnect with my life, to engage with my faith
Lord I'm sorry that I ever walked away from you
I am here to say this time it's true

I'm coming home, back into your arms
I'm coming home, to where I belong
I'm coming home, to the love I knew
This song is my praise to you

I'm so thankful that you stretch out your hands
Exploring other pathways has bought nothing but pain
If you are not the truth then I can't face reality
You are the strength upon which I stand

I'm coming home, back into your arms
I'm coming home, to where I belong
I'm coming home, to the love I knew
This song is my praise to you

You never leave us
Your truth it prevails
Through pain and darkness
My heart, it will remain

We live a wild life, with many ups and downs
Striving to meet some unknown expectation
Day to day, hand to mouth is the way I do things
Ever dependent upon your love and grace

I'm coming home, back into your arms
I'm coming home, to where I belong
I'm coming home, to the love I knew
This song is my praise to you

Coming home
Coming home
Coming home
Coming home


8. SITUATION MESS

Lining their pockets, looking for a quick buck
No thought given to the long term consequence
Are we gonna solve this by printing more money
What will be the outcome of this financial endgame

It seems crazy to me
My mind can hardly believe

How did we get into this situation mess
Desperate to get through this situation mess

And what of Mr. Average struggling to pay the bills
Slaving all day at work to feed his family
It's easy to see why depression is so common
Hard to see the bright side when all the news is bad

It seems crazy to me
My mind can hardly believe

How did we get into this situation mess
It's time we looked to God in this situation mess

I find it hard to believe
That this is how we've ended up
With so much money and so much power
We find ourselves in this mess

They are still wasting power each and every day
Politicians fly first class and stay in the best hotels
I am but a simple man, so answer me this question
Couldn't we use that money to pay back some of the debt

It seems crazy to me
My mind can hardly believe

How did we get into this situation mess
Desperate to get out of this situation mess


9. MASTER OF THE WORLD

A decade of disturbance
Trial after trial
The lesson that I've learnt
Is that God is always there

Living in the time of pain
We have but one hope
The master of the world
Is the one who called our name
Through all of the fear
He is always there
Grace through forgiveness
He is the only one who cares

Disasters strike our land
Time and time again
Yet through his love
We can find the truth

Living in the time of pain
We have but one hope
The master of the world
Is the one who called our name
Through all of the fear
He is always there
Grace through forgiveness
He is the only one who cares

Through flood, through terror, earthquakes and war
He's constant, he's stable, he will never change
We must accept that he is our lord
And give to him the praise due his name

In these times of dark
We must stay strong
Demons attack
At every chance

Living in the time of pain
We have but one hope
The master of the world
Is the one who called our name
Through all of the fear
He is always there
Grace through forgiveness
He is the only one who cares

Our lord, our God, hear our desperate cry
This world is sick, we need your healing power
Your love, your hope, it's needed in this hour
Praise you, thank you, now cometh the day

And so we come to the end of this journey through the mutilation
A study of the dark times in which we find ourselves
The one message ringing loud and clear is the constancy of God
Through all the horror and the pain he's the only hope we have (x6)
