1. WAR MACHINES (INTRO)

(Instrumental)


2. TARGET ON MY BACK

As one who isn't a clique Christian
Of a religion of sharp dressing
As one who praises regularly
I am indeed among the persecuted

Being deemed a radical
Could be just a compliment
If my biblical views are extreme
Then I'll gladly stand right by them

Priorities skewed
Common sense dead
Millions deceived
And screwed in the head

Is this what
We stand for
Self servitude
Satan's whores
Rejecting the struggle
Day and night
No false fantasies
As I fight

Life I seek spiritually
To hell with death with every breath
I'll simply flee so join me
I will not die I'll only rise

Will you accept certain death?
Or will you rise and join me?

The moment I chose to follow him
I painted a target on my back
He gave me such a wondrous gift
Despite everything that I lack


3. A WASP AT THE HUMMINGBIRD FEEDER

A fallen world where I find peace
Compared to heaven seldomly
The Lord's presence blesses me
For demons don't always give me peace
Without my relationship
With my lord Jesus Christ
The demons in the dark
Will surely end my life

Worries
Hatred
Lust
Deception

If I cling to his light
His presence all I need to fight
The evil that is tempting me
From doom he will set me free
Saving me from the fall
This world, he conquered it all
Keep me from the second death
Trusting him til my last breath

Like wasps
Feeding with the hummingbirds
The wicked
Hide along the kind
Prowling
At the edges of the light
Who knows what
Evil dwells in their minds

Lord take me from this Earth

What dwells in this world
The evil nearly makes me hurl
Devastate this world
In the flames the snake's body curls

Within my flesh evil resides
An evil which I greatly despise
Lurking within the shadows
Leading me to the gallows

I feel them near
Prowling in the shadows
I laugh in their face
For I am with God
They will all fail
In seducing me along
With the masses
With the word they're at odds


4. THE DEAD FACE EASTWARD

I rest here now
Comforted by your eternal presence
Come back Lord
Return to us soon
I rest here now
Facing eastward
Come back Jesus
The world needs you

For the world grows darker with each passing day
Surely the time is near
Putrid blasphemies the masses say
The almighty they no longer fear

Soon his dead rise
Kneeling along with all man
The Son will return again

The world needs you Christ
I long for you to return
For your holy presence
Mankind yearns

Millions lost in misery
Denying you as their way out


5. SQUARE UP SATAN

Step up punk
Your time is up
Dragged so many people down
I won't respect you
Or give you praise
I'll knock you into the ground

I'm not a pawn to your wicked ways
I will not stand for this
If you showed yourself before me
I'd kick you right in the ribs
On these grounds I stand
For everything holy
You are not my master
And you won't defeat me

This is war
It's us and you
Your sworn enemy
Through and through

This is the end
On the horizon
As you gain many more slaves
Ignorance
And blinding desire
People don't wanna be saved
This is my stand
For if many lose
I will remain above you
I have failed many times
Yet still better than you
You will be left black and blue

Living in death
Will not kill me
We will spit right in your pride
Your false sense of worthless power
Will not hide you from God's wrath

You may win many small battles
But your day is coming
Step up punk and try to take me
You will never break me

You will never break me


6. ASMODEUS

What should it be like?
That sacred thing
Between a man a woman
Together til death?

I wouldn't know
You took that from me
Perverted it
I hope you bleed

Desecrate what's sacred and make it a toxin
Pulling in addicts for your wicked drug
Invoke betrayals, destroy families
One more method to kill off the peace
Rampantly worshipped, a common thrill
See it become an idol
Lifeless it is, bathing in sewage
A carnal, worldly beast

What would you bet that such an idol
Requests sacrifices of flesh and blood?

All the bloodshed and betrayals and for what?
So that people can climax as much as they can?
What is the point in getting so sucked in?
Laughing at those who know it as sin

And this rapacious desire for temporary pleasures
Causes nothing more than pain
What other than humiliation and betrayals
Do you expect to gain?

And you say that it's harmless cause you're "not a cheater"
And I can hardly believe that statement
For addicts like you are a ticking time bomb
Into the Earth you'll decay in death

Asmodeus
I hope you bleed
Rot with Moloch
Leave us be
Asmodeus
Death to your kind
Shatter every idol
Christ save mankind


7. EMPTY

Sometimes I'm afraid
To even sleep at night
Lord if my life is hell
Then let my dreams be alright

Family and friends have their own problems
The therapist is in for the money
Most people are just selfish as hell
And some even think that it's funny
So dead inside as time goes by
God get me out of this hell
I wish I could get out and wish I could fight
From peace I have fell

Some days
I wanna blow my brains all over the wall
But can I be certain that it all gets better?
Or will I just burn in hell?

And when I flip that knife open to cut my own throat
I know God will protect me, even from myself

No matter the circumstance I feel so down
And I feel so selfish
I don't wanna sound so empty when I say these things
But I can't help it

I feel so empty

And the moods flip
Like silver coins
I pray for more stability
I cling to you and you're all I have
To give me the life I need

The demons illusioned to think
That they will win
They win mere battles
While I win wars

Death to the world
That oppresses us and many we love
To give in is the easy way out
I long for the presence of our God above


8. THIS IS AN EVIL PLACE

Each day I've wasted
In my misery
Like a Christmas gift
Collecting dust in the shelves
Days pass ungratefully
Such wasted gifts
From almighty God
Lord help my soul

Peach state hell
Where I don't want to be
Demon-infested chamber of misery
Ages spent
Like aeons wasted
The torment, I have tried to face it

Up interstates and mountains too
Northeast bound I come for you
Now and then I go to see
Pleasant landscapes and family
I pray the Lord will soon bring peace
To a lifestyle of misery
Take me far away from here
To be stuck here is what I fear

Carolina roads is what I pray to see
From my den of darkness I hope to one day flee
Dwelling here I carry the weight
Of past quarrels, lust and hate
There is nothing for me here
But ever darkening loneliness
Why do I have to stay
In a place so draining?

If I'm meant to remain here
Why is this place my cage of sin?
Demonic presence
Bullying me

I feel a calling
For something better
To improve this life
Release from earthly darkness

The sun may shine here
But it is not home
I feel incomplete
The demons here haunt me

This is an evil place


9. DWELLER

False sense of power
I can't flee your mind
I cast you away
Like the cancer you are
Consumed by envy
For what I've had
Self-condemned
To be below me
You have nothing
I rise as you rot
Scrambling for ways
To bring me down
Doomed to fall
With no accomplishments
I live in your head rent free
You won't evict me


10. LIVING WITH A DEAD SOUL

People claim they want help but they don't
Enjoying the emotional highs when they come
Fixed on the thrill of venting
About the horrors of daily living
In this world that element of hell will not die
That you've accepted and you dwell in it
Who here wants light anyway?
Living in darkness is way more tempting

Like an opioid of temporary thrills
Denial of light seems to give you a pass
To live an empty life with goals made of rage
Much easier than holy congruence

And the lust we feel
And the greed we feel
To try to fill that hole
Created in us

It will only drag us down
It will never fulfill us
In our sorrow we will drown
Ripped away from the lord Jesus

And with an empty heart and a dead soul
We will hunt for carnal things to make us feel whole
When the urge seems fulfilled and the drunkenness fades
You continue to feel dread in the coming day

If you have faith in Jesus Christ
He'll drag you from the depths
He'll hear your cries
Consumed by lust
Consumed by hate
Don't let desires seal your fate
When you reach the top of the ladder of greed
You'll find there is nothing to fulfill your needs
When you truly suffer and don't long for real love
You find yourself severed from our King above


11. THE SEDUCTIVE DARK

Taking the easier path
Easier so it seems
Selfish desires
Don't satisfy long term
Self indulgence
Mercy's not weakness
Giving into hate
Blinded

Downward spiral you're not conscious of
How simple hatred and desire leads to genocide
Of the living and the unborn

The greatest sacrifice made
Rejected as an ally of the world

The feeling of hatred
Is murder at the heart
The feeling of lust
Is an act of adultery

But I long to stand as an example
Of His almighty power
Through love and a lack of judgment
I stand proud in these dark hours

In denial of the afterlife
The majority take the easy path

Death after death
Preferable to most


12. WHIRLWIND

I can't hide from what I am
A filthy, no-good sinner
I've indulged myself in lust
In filthy carnal pleasures

Idolatry of the harlots
For so many years
Habits seem unbreakable
A place in hell I fear
Trapped in the whirlwind of sin

Pornography and masturbation
Strip clubs and casual sex
The whirlwind is picking up now
The whirlwind is pulling you now

Waves of unrepented sin
Your vice is consuming you

You have created a chain
Tying you to your sin
A marching order to engage
In filthy actions
I have created this chain
Tried to break it for years
Indulgence is consuming
I need to break free


13. WHAT LIES AHEAD

Worry is a disease
Refrain from it daily
What lies ahead
Shouldn't affect you now
You can't know for sure that it's horrid
If you haven't arrived there yet
What lies ahead could be glorious
A gift from God himself

Pray for his guidance and mercy
For you may be living in gray
But what lies ahead could be sunshine
A glorious and holy day
Pray for strength and relief
Don't let others hurt you with what they say
For what lies ahead could be sunshine
Kill worries and anticipate that day

To live in fear of the future
Is to live in darkness
Cast away the toxic fears
And look ahead with utmost hope

And don't regard hardships as God's cruelty
For we live in a fallen world
There'll be good times and bad in this life
For every boy and girl
The genesis curse has condemned us
But we'll find peace in carrying out his will
Refrain from living in darkening fears
For your soul those thoughts will kill

Pray for his guidance and mercy
For you may be living in gray
But what lies ahead could be sunshine
A glorious and holy day
Pray for strength and relief
Don't let others hurt you with what they say
For what lies ahead could be sunshine
Live for him and for that day

Live for it


14. TO GIVE IN TO HATRED

To mourn is a spiritual thing
Refrain from your carnal thoughts
Hate doesn't numb the pain
Don't hunt for something to blame

And when the people of this world
Betray you and walk on you
Your mind may take you to dark places

And at heart you may already have
Committed mass murders
Blinded by animalistic rage
Open your heart and see
There is more than depression and hate

Don't be deceived
In thinking the dark is supreme

In thoughts of hatred
Your heart has already murdered
But there is time to repent
Let his light wash away your darkness
