Lyrics

1. ALL CONSUMING FIRE

Lord ignite the rage.
Flowing through me.
Hear your spoken words.
Consume me oh Lord.

Release my selfishness.
We hold this unto you.
We battle through our days of irony.
Close your eyes.
Yet we never felt an ounce of pain.
Until now.

All consuming fire burn.

Straight to the heart God give me strength.
River of life flow through my veins.

I exalt your name.
Hold on to me. I'll never let go.
Consume me Lord.

All consuming fire burn.


2. WHEN FAITH TURNS TO ASHES

Death to our deceiver.
Your shoulders bear your consequences.
Fear the life you stole.
Kill with no remorse.

We fall by the hands of man.

Hide your selfishness, your fallen dreams glare through the eyes of our beholder.
Innocent your innocence.

Am I only in this to feel comfort, without pain I'd never know what comfort was.

Feel the innocence, feel your innocence.

I've become a slave to your selfishness. Failure my failure, to act is now my death.

Innocent my innocence.


3. THROUGH THE FLAMES

Save us from the masses that came to destroy.
In love with their own legends your words are death.
You've labeled us nameless and suckers of freedom.
This world you live in will burst into flames.

We will find, find ourselves.
Through the shadows of a past we now must face.

We lie awake in the darkness fearing nothing.
With the strength of a nation we will not fail.
We've now become restless and ready for blood.
Though we are few, the earth will tremble.

Destroy!

We burst through the strongholds.

Restless in search for something more.
Endless are our choices.
Hard pressed and moving forward.
With one flame to pierce the night.


4. SALVATION

Ready I am ready breath salvation
Lord we hear your pray bring forth revival
Rise oh ancient one breath salvation

We failed by the hands of man
And laid claim to idols
How selfish are we
In the eyes of god

You reject truth and lay claim to idols
Fearing your demise bring salvation

To those of you hide behind your sorrow
An cower in your time of need
We must prepare our hearts for the demise of a nation, which lies in the palm of our hands.
Heed the warning focus not on what's seen and stand above weakness for all who know Him stand to gain eternity.

Our hearts yearning for Your return
Our hearts yearning for Your return
Don't hide behind your weakness
Don't hide behind your weakness

Hear our cry fill our hearts Salvation
Send Your rain cover us in honor we honor You
Unfailing love is our God we march into battle


5. SLEEP OF PRISONERS

Searching for desire earthed beneath distraction.
Lord please grant us with your mercy as our quest unfolds.
Against all opposition a true sense of self.
We only hope to discover the very reason we are here.

(Awaken me)
Like a passing wind I change the way I've lived
(From this we pray)
Lord please grant me with desire and let it fill my empty soul.

We run from our calling only to get by.
As rain falls from the heavens excuses fall from our mouths.
As floodwaters rise this life is not my fault.
If only we would listen to the pulling on our hearts.

That failed, I won't give up. Here's our chance to prove ourselves.

(Awaken me)
Like a passing wind I change the way I've lived
(From this we pray)
Lord please grant me with desire and let it fill my empty soul.
(Awaken me)
There's so much I regret and still your mercy flows
(From this we pray)
Standing in your presence I feel I've been reborn.

Oh God heal our suffering.
Mend our open wounds.
Let your mercy fall.


6. WAGES OF SIN

We've reached our destination yet we've failed you.
Dragged through our consequences in our wake we fall.

Rise to the satisfaction.
Hold to the pain we bear.
With our demise we: Rise in all our glory.
Rise to avenge our past.
Rise as hearts ret glare.
Rise with every heart beat.
Rise!

Why have we used our pain as an excuse to fight so boldly.
Here I am use me in every moment I have left.
We fall.

For those of you who hide in the shadows of our forefathers
"We are hard pressed on every side but not crushed;
Perplexed but not in despair;
Persecuted but not abandoned;
Struck down but not destroyed!"

Push through this final hour, truth lies within destiny.
We bow in your presence, bring forth the fallen world.
Stand for what's been promised, we've reached our destination.
Throughout life we waver and falter and now we wage war.

Hold me in your arms, how patiently we wait for our own death.
We wait for you oh Lord to come and fill the emptiness inside me.

Why have we used our pain as an excuse to fight so boldly.
Here I am use me in every moment I have left.


7. YET ANOTHER FALLEN EVE

Ever revealing hope to our comfort fills the void within our hearts.
Father reveal our worth, save us, this is our last breath.

Unconditional love, could it be she's found it.
Oh it feels so real, don't hold your breath!
His hands move down her thigh, taking seconds with every pass.
Please, please, don't ever leave me, she feels the burning in every heartbeat.

Dance through another night of fear, I'm hopeless without you.
Hold her close beneath your wings and keep her safe, hold her forever.
I can't forgive myself for the wound that I left you.
Save us, I'm begging you this is our last breath.

Look into her eyes, tears fall and hit the floor.
Her sweat still on his chest, a night filled with much regret.
Blind to the reality of the lasting impression.
Oh God I need you now, Lord we surrender.

God you are my shelter.
Lord I want to burn with passion.
Father you are the prince of peace.
God you are my shelter.


8. GENERATIONAL CURSE

Wounded, I'm left wounded, scarred by your choice.
Alone and fatherless, why was I not enough.

I felt your weakness.

Fearing what's to come, still moving forward.
Father, Holy Father, prepare my heart for war.

I felt your weakness and you watch me fall.

Fearless and left in an empty home my acceptance has drawn life away from me.

Liar, wounded yet fearless, you're our shelter, we'll see this through the end.

I wait for your return your failure to act is my pain.

Savior, Savior, why.


9. THE AWAKENING

Eyes blind to the death of the church, a fabrication of truth.
Burn the banner you call love and open your eyes.

You've awakened the warriors, march for we are the elite.
Our altars are stained with blood.

Here we are in the fight of our lives, why won't you listen, we bring
the angel of death.

God I'm on my knees, suffering, is this all I am.
Please fill my pain, lift me up and hold me close to your heart.
How could I fail you once again, your love is what sustains me.

Here lies another empty tomb is what you preach.
Fear the very thing you created, yet you're still blind.
Death to those who bear the mark, life to those who choose to fight.

As we gather in your presence.

God I'm on my knees, suffering, is this all I am.
Please fill my pain, lift me up and hold me close to your heart.
How could I fail you once again, your love is what sustains me.


10. THE DECEPTION OF STRONGHOLDS

I wait for you to breathe through me.
Oh how I long for your love.
My faith guides me in this darkness.
I battle for you on my own.

I hear my calling, endless, you are endless.
Bring me to my knees, battle, the battle has only begun.

The separation.
Determination.
The separation.
(Will never hold us back)
Determination.
(I'll fight my way through)

Hold me close in your arms Lord.
Shelter me under your wings.
I find myself stronger with you.
My battle for you rages on.
