1. Intro

[Instrumental]


2. Take It Back

Remember when this meant something.
It was more than popularity.
No open minds or open hearts
We've never been farther apart.
Tolerance does not exist
One's difference meets your fist.
Fake facades and drama queens, they don't know what this really means.
Not a fashion show or a trend
This nonsense has to end.
Alone and strung out on your memories
You sold out on your scene.
Your once outstretched arms
Now folded across your chest
You never cared at all
just try and look your best.
Where was your sincerity?
Where is your integrity?
Take it back to when there was substance.
Don't be scared, hold fast, and make a stance.
With your beliefs, to them, you stay true.
And treat others as if they were you.
Take it Back (4x)
back to when there was unity.
Respect, a two-way street; give and take.
‘Cause what you build is what you make.
And how you act must match what you say.
Where is your sincerity?
Where is your integrity?


3. I Quit

Every time I wake up
it seems to be
be the same routine
Stuck in a rut
can't get out
where should I be?
Same old job, same old life
gets harder and harder on me.
Shed blood, sweat, and tears all these years.
I put in so much, for what?
Wasn't born to live in misery.
I know there's more to life for me.
Though outside I'm wasting away, I'm being renewed day by day.
Even though, that I know this isn't what life is about,
it seems all the time I get down and out.
So hard to stay focused, in this world around us.
I lose sight of all the blessings in my life.
(Repeat).
Shed blood, sweat, and tears all these years, all these years.
I put in so much, and for what?
Even though that I know this isn't what life's about, I get down and out.
But all my blessings, they remind me,
that I must stay focused, in this world of misery.


4. Thick And Thin

Through thick and thin.
You've stayed by my side.
So faithful a friend, you're so true to your own.
When I am lost and alone, You stay by my side.
And you'll never let me go, and you'll never leave me for dead.
So many times I've tried to hide.
I sought to throw away my life.
I tried to close my eyes and cover up the pain inside.
My pride had led me down a one-way path of no return.
But you stood by my side through thick and thin; more than a friend.
Why would I run from such a good thing?
You've always been there for me.
Never let me go (2x).
Stand by me, never let me go (2x).


5. Everyday

Everyday, we stand, to fight.
Everyday we stand to fight
Gotta last just one more night
Tearing down these walls of hate
Carrying each other's weight.
Of the same mind, of the same heart.
Nothing here can tear us apart
Persecution and trials will come
But the battle's already been won. Been won.
Standing together
Side by side
staying true to what's inside
United as one we fight
a true friend lays down his life.
When this world attacks stay on track.
I'm your brother; I've got your back.
Never lose heart (4x).
Holding close through the long suffering.
Thick as blood is the bond that ties us.
No one's better, No one's worse
separation has been our curse
No one's better, No one's worse
tear down these walls
our lives are one.
Destroy your pride.
Discard your hate.
The time is now.
Tear down these walls, our lives are one.


6. In The Lies Of The Beholder

She's just another notch on a belt or some bragging rights.
Degraded far beyond their worth.
Ambition driven by self-seeking thoughts; a juggernaut to all that stand in the way.
Eyes fixed, locked, and deceived, a body part is all that's seen.
With a single glance she's raped, with only a thought she's maimed.
Dismembering all that's left of her esteem within.
With a single glance, she's raped.
The Poison lust pumping in the veins of those
so eager to roll in the blood of the victims.
Never knowing the consequences of the actions
or all the pain that's caused, always thinking selfishly.
She exceeds sideways glances, vain romances, smooth slow dances.
A devious plan with only one thing in mind.
You'll get her drunk and wasted
you can almost taste it
see how far that she will go.
She's not yours to violate.
What you take carries so much weight.
She's not an object.
She's so much more.
With a single glance she's raped, with only a thought she's maimed.


7. Bondservant

Why should I care? What should i do?
change who I am, cuz you dont like my point of view.
Judgement comes from all sides, there is no middle ground.
Double standards cant measure my worth, I am who I am.
I don't dress to please.
And I dont care, I dont care who sees.
You'll never be satisfied by me.
Why should I care, what should i do?
Change who i am cuz you dont like my point of view.
Am i now trying to win the approval of all men?
I tried that in the past, the end result won't last.
And i dont care , i dont care who sees.
You'll never be satisfied by me
(2x)
I have reason for what i do.
I have my convictions too
(2x)
I know what He did for me a servant of God I will always be
look at yourself before you judge me.
You've got nothing better to do,
than prove who's better than who.
LOOK INSIDE OF YOU!


8. Coldest Day

What caused a love so special to be broken down to misery?
Everything caused me agony.
And in your eyes, did you see the consequences of your actions.
My life was changing before you.
Maybe you were just blinded.
Blinded by your own selfishness.
But now I am much stronger.
And I have decided to make a change.
And I have learned from your mistakes.
A family torn by reckless decay.
A love that was pure turned to hate.
A child left so scared and afraid.
What happened to your commitment so sacred?
Separation, threw me into depression.
A child born loved, now torn by divorce.
All I could do was watch your love fade away.
Our lives were forever changed.
But when I think about all the mistakes you had made.
My heart now gives forgiveness for all you could not change.
Nothing makes me stronger than the love of family.
You didn't love each other, but you still loved me.


9. Game Over

You wrapped your hands around my throat,
you squeeze so hard but I won't choke.
(2x)
My eyes could only see what was right in front of me.
Sometimes what it seems to be, isnt reality.
You fooled me for so long, but now i have moved on.
Your disguise is gone.
It's a daily fight to stand my ground,
the lines been drawn between you and me.
The mask you wear is fading fast.
And now you know that you wont last.
Everyone can see straight through your lies, your game is up.
Fall to your knees.
Everyone can see straight through your lies, your game is up.
It's a daily fight to stand my ground the lines been drawn between you and me.
The mask you wear is fading fast and now you know that you wont last.
My eyes could only see what was right in front of me,
sometimes what it seems to be isnt reality.
You fooled me for so long but now i have moved on.
Your disguise is gone.
Fall to your knees, your game is up.
(2x)


10. Blood Money

My open hand offered to you.
Yours returned, around a blade
and thrust in between my ribs.
My bloody hands weren't enough for you.
A spit in the face – Such a disgrace (2x).
A sin that cannot be ignored.
Can thirty pieces fill the void?
I gave everything I had.
To find out that I'd been had.
You took some more – Trying to settle the score.
Greedily snatching what I gave.
Adding humiliation to my pain.
Love unconditional
so unfathomable; forgiveness, no trace of sin
so hard to imagine.
A spit in the face – Such a disgrace (2x).
Yet, this is the only thing so real
a sacrifice that made my life complete.
Yes, this is the only thing so real
blood was shed and now my life's complete.


11. Dead End

Death is coming to take you away.
You try to hide but there is no escaping.
Every second is a countdown to the end of your world.
And time is drawing near when all your treasures will burn.
Deception had held your hand, and led you down the path of lies.
The four walls around you will only satisfy your eyes.
Life is more than what you own.
Your status, your possessions, will fade away.
And you'll be left alone.
It's time to face the judge.
The scales of life have weighed you.
And your pride has held you down.
Any day could be your last one.
Where will you run when the walls cave in?
There's still time to turn around before you reach your DEAD END.
