Lyrics


1. TEMPLES ON FIRE

I used to live like there`s no tomorrow
I used to think life was only a game
Born to find that you`ll be gone tomorrow
To be desolate liying in a grave

I couldn`t count on the way I way feeling
My heart condemned me all the time
Then your love set me free from these feelings
And now, now I can cry

This temple`s on fire
Oh he`s taking me higher
This temple`s on fire
It burns with a godly desire

War waged upon my soul
Since I found, I found the answer
But the victory lies in the hand of my savior
Who`s leading me every step on the way

I can`t count on the way that I`m feeling
My heart condemns me all the time
I know your love sets me free
From these feelings so now I can cry

This temple`s on fire
Oh he`s taking me higher
This temple`s on fire
It burns with a godly desire

There is no power that can pvertake the blood, he shed on calvary
A sinless lamb who was led to the slaughter
Freely gave his life for me, out of love he took my place
And now, now I can cry

This temple`s on fire
Oh he`s taking me higher
This temple`s on fire
It burns with a godly desire


2. REBELLION

Well you're goin' downtown see the city lights
You're lookin' for a high that you just can't find
Well you're falling from God and it's such a shame
You know satan is the one that you gotta blame

[Chorus:]

But there's an answer in your heart
You know the truth now play your part
Yes there's an answer and it's waiting for you
Turn back to Jesus you know what to do
Give it up!
Your mind of rage, rebellion
Your mind of rage, rebellion

But there's an answer in your heart
You know the truth now play your part
Yes there's an answer and it's waiting for you
Turn back to Jesus you know what to do
Give it up!
Your mind of rage, rebellion
Your mind of rage, rebellion

Well you're goin' downtown see the city lights
You're lookin' for a high that you just can't find
Well you're falling from God and it's such a shame
You know satan is the one that you gotta blame

But there's an answer in your heart
You know the truth now play your part
Yes there's an answer and it's waiting for you
Turn back to Jesus you know what to do
Give it up!
Your mind of rage, rebellion
Your mind of rage, rebellion


3. MASTER'S COMMAND

The pain you feel
Is caused by all the things I've said and done
But your love for me is so real
You forgave me
And you sent your only Son
Oh, and you say
"My people are falling away from me
People, I'm calling you to be just as I am"

How can you say to me that you love me
Yet have so much hate for your brother?
Don't you know that the law says we're murderers
If we hate one another?

[Chorus:]

Why can't we forgive one another
And learn to be just like I AM
Why don't we just love one another
And do as the Master commands?
Time's only waiting for you
To tear down the walls
Of pride that you've made
To see through the Master's eyes
And to realize
The changes we've all got to make

[Chorus:]

Well don't you know that His blood
Is our forgiveness?
He's put the answer in us all
You heart is cold, your blood is black
You're full of darkness
But the Master's answer's in us all
How can you say to me that you love me
Yet have so much hate for your brother?
I've made it easy
Now the choice is up to you
Remember my judgement
Will be upon this matter

[Chorus:]


4. WICKED GEMERATION

Signs that mark the times are clear to see
Just look around at a world of misery
If you can`t read the writing`s on the wall
Delusions, victory, rejections last call
There`ll be no more excuses, decisions on the line
The cross you wear as a fashion statement is just a waste of time
Your reoccuring sins will lead you to your death
Will you ask for forgiveness with your very last breath

Wicked generation and it keeps on escalating, it`s another
Wicked generation, oh wicked generation

A simple prayer on sunday is such a shallow repent
You keep avoiding his love, your nights are better off spent
But deep inside your light still shines
Reminding you each day that Jesus christ was crucified
For our sins, the price he paid

Your reoccuring sins will lead you to your death
Will you ask for forgiveness with your very last breath

Wicked generation and it keeps on escalating, it`s another
Wicked generation, oh wicked generation


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

Blinding obsessions
Blinding obsessions

You gave up all your rights as you turnde to the needle
And now you`ve gone so fat, 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


6. HE DIED

He died for you and I on that day
As He hangs on the cross for you and I
He said "Father forgive them for they know not what they do"

It's time you realize what he has done for you
Just open up your eyes and face the truth
Why don't you realize what God has done for you
He sent His only Son to die for you

And He died for you and I Oh Jesus
And He died for you and I Oh Jesus

And when they hung Him on the cross
His face they did not recognize
And when they saw Him hanging there
Oh the pain

And when they hung Him on the cross
His face they did not recognize
And when they saw Him hanging there
Oh the pain

And He lives for you and I
Oh Jesus


7. BOYOND THE MOUNTAIN

Many people live their lives
As if there's no tomorrow
Not caring what goes on
Just drowning in their sorrows
The times are tough
And they’re just heading for a fall
So can you tell me
What's the meaning of it all?

[Chorus:]

Beyond the mountain, where He waits for you and me

So many times you feel
You're left alone just standing
Well let me say that's nothing new!
The righteousness displayed
By Christ they all rejected
They hated Him and they'll hate you!

So count it joy
When you are headed for the wall
And just remember He's the meaning of it all

[Chorus:]X2

Beyond the mountain, is the place I wanna be
Beyond the mountain, is the place for you and me

[Chorus:]X2

You struggle with this lonely time
You feel abandoned
Say no one takes the time to care
Oh ... can't you see the lies
That blind you leave you stranded
That special someone is out there

So count it joy
When you are headed for the wall
And just remember He's the meaning of it all

[Chorus:]X2


8. MINISTER BY NIGHT

Thank you for your concern for my christian life
Your prayers are deeply needed but let`s put an end to this strife
Yes, I`ve been seen in places that you`d only pass in daylight
But that`s our biggest difference we minister by night

We`re out on the front lines, challenging everyone
Surrounded by fruits of sin that consume your daughter or son
We go in after them, they`re in our sights
But that`s our gift in the darkness we`ll shed the light

I minister by night in a heavenly show
Taking the world to places, places that you would not go

So many other people are lost, they`re people you know

We minister by night in a heavenly show
Taking the world to places, where Jesus had led us go

Yes, I`ve been seen in places that you`d only pass in daylight
But that`s our biggest difference we minister by night


9. SWORD OF VICTORY

Well I seem to find that the enemy attacks
At a time when you least expect it
So you better prepare for the day will come
That your name will be elected
There'll be lots of pain and everything to gain
But dying is the only way out

[Chorus:]

That we all will walk in victory
With a sword in our right hand

Where will you be when the going gets tough
Will you stand and fight like a man
Will you follow through when the One from above says
Here's my battle plan

I will give you the strength you need
And the courage to stand alone
If you fight for me there'll be victory
And a crown when you get home

And we all will walk in victory
With a sword in our right hand
We will stand for all the world to see
That the truth has set us free

And we all will walk in victory
With a sword in our right hand
We will stand for all the world to see
That the truth has set us free

Where will you be when the going gets tough
Will you stand and fight like a man
Will you follow through when the One from above says
Here's my battle plan

I will give you the strength you need
And the courage to stand alone
If you fight for me there'll be victory
And a crown when you get home

And we all will walk in victory
With a sword in our right hand
We will stand for all the world to see
That the truth has set us free


10. EVIL LURKS

(Instrumental)


11. SWEET MEMORIES

I remember all the things you used to say
The times we shared together, the many tears we`ve shed
But now it seems as though i talk to barren walls
I know someday I`ll see you again but `till then

Oh sweet memories
Oh sweet memories

You always took the time to spend with me
That`s how you taught me right from wrong
I remember all you`ve done for me, you done for me
When I needed you yeah you were there

When it seems the scars of time would never heal
I know you were by my side, your love was real

Oh sweet memories
Oh sweet memories

Twelve years later seems like yesterday
When you were holding me in your arms
The memories of you will never leave, will never leave
They`re calling out of me

When it seems the scars of time would never heal
I know you were by my side, your love was real

Oh sweet memories
Oh sweet memories


12. BOUND IN CHAINS

As the night starts it's rising, the streets start to fill
You're looking to get your next thrill
Music is loud, the lights are bright
Woman is dressed to kill wearing their high heels and tights

[Chorus:]

Can't you see it's all so clear
You’re living a lie
Wondering why, still searching inside
Days go by still you try, never understanding
That you're just one of many bound in chains

Pusher's pushing, the thief is stealing
The preacher's preaching but his life's full of darkness
The gangster's killing, the witch she's casting spells
Astrologer's tell their lies and people but these feelings

[Chorus:]X2

Can't they see it's all so clear
They're living a lie
Wondering why, they're searching inside
Days go by still they try, never understanding
That they're just one of many bound in chains

If you choose to live life by these ways
No one else can take the blame
For the pain you're gonna feel
But the truth's within you, crying out
Now how much longer will you live in this darkness

[Chorus:]X3

Can't they see it's all so clear
They're living a lie
Wondering why, they're searching inside
Days go by still they try, never understanding
That they're just one of many bound
On you keep pushing on, will you ever realize
That they're just one of many bound in chains


13. WARRIORS

All around the place tonight, if god would let you see
Legions of angelic hosts they fight for you and me
The battle it is spiritual not of flesh and blood
Not mercenaries out for kicks, they do it out of love

They`re warriors, fighting in the night
Warriors, they stand up for what`s right
Cutting through the darkness and fighting for the light
The victory belongs to god, the battle they must fight, warriors

We too are warriors, but of a different kind
Separated by our sins
Once walking on the line, listening to our calling, sent from high above
Now we stand in victory but not by what we`ve done
Now lifting up our brothers on the battle lines
On our knees victorious, we`re fighting side by side

They`re warriors, fighting in the night
Warriors, they stand up for what`s right
Cutting through the darkness and fighting for the light
The victory belongs to god, the battle they must fight, warriors

The bible says where two or more are gathered in his name
He will be there with them, his power to sustain
So will you join the battle and fight with us today
Casting off your apathy and stand your ground again

They`re warriors, fighting in the night
Warriors, they stand up for what`s right
Cutting through the darkness and fighting for the light
The victory belongs to god, the battle they must fight, warriors
