1. ESSENCE OF BLACKENED CREATION

(Instrumental)


2. BEHOLD, O BELIAL, YOUR JUDGEMENT HAS COME

The demon begins to awaken from slumber
Forever overcome by his sorrow and darkness
He diminishes the weak before my eyes
I grieve as I see all that he destroys

Prince of hell, you will be over encumbered
Prince of hell, you are so weak compared to my God
Belial, Belial, why did you fall from the sky
Suffer, suffer, you will forever suffer in pain

They are crying out in pain as he licks at their wounds
Spreading infection and temptation, why can't I move
The lust from his eyes like a gleaming arrow of deception
The evil intent of his heart overwhelms them

The human race, and all who do evil
Set the captives free, Jesus deliver me as well
From Belial

Belial, prince of suffering
Belial, Belial, you will know what it means to be defeated
Belial, Belial, just die tonight
Under this midnight moon, your flame from hell will freeze so cold

Forever in hell you now burn


3. WORSHIP HIS HOLY NAME

Worship His holy name
Worship His holy name
Set on high on a throne of crystal
Worship His holy name

Frozen in perfect dominance

Let us come in obedience
Upon this frozen skull
Where snow forever falls
Cold icy plains

Falling far from the sun
Far away from the stars
Cold delight in my sight
He has bought me with a price

Warm blood melts the snow
As it runs down the sides of His throne
Coldness and ice melting into steam
This blood runs afar upon these streets of gold

Worship His holy name
Worship His holy name

Sacrificed on death itself
Crucified for all mankind
I seek Your deliverance
Though I do not have to ask twice

Your mercy surrounds me
And every part of my DNA
Your cold voice so softly
Greets me with your peace

Your presence surrounds me
And Your Spirit speaks to me in grace
Holy, holy, is the King of Glory
Holy, holy, is the King of Glory

Holy, holy, is the King of Glory
Holy, holy, is the King of Glory
Holy, holy, is the King of Glory

Eternal You are
It is why you put us here
Forever worship His holy name

Holy, holy, is the King of Glory
Holy, holy, is the King of Glory


4. ASTONISHING LEVEL OF HYPOCRISY

Behold the hypocrite
You love yet you hate
You hate sin yet you
Whitewash doctrine

"Bend them to our will
We will control them
With a steady flow
Of incoherent feelings"

You control thy brethren
You manipulate

You are evil
You are possessed (with fear)
You are controlled (through intimidation)

You who calls thyself holy
You who control other's ministry (you weakling)
Through means of fear
And manipulation

I will not give in
I will not give in

Your acts are disgusting
And worthless
It is all in vain
You who wish to control others
But refuse to submit to authority

You who are in rebellion
You who are practicing that which is witchcraft
In the eyes of the Most High - manipulation

You unholy
You coward
You hypocrite

Such an astonishing level of hypocrisy
Causing others to stumble
Causing others to commit suicide
From your constant back biting
And your nonsensical bickering

Making them wish they would die

You don't defend the weak
You crush them beneath your feet
You don't challenge this age of sin
You adopt it as your own

You adopt it as your own

Stop Christianizing sin
Just repent

Behold the hypocrite
You love yet you hate
You hate sin yet you
Whitewash doctrine

"Bend them to our will
We will control them
With a steady flow
Of incoherent feelings"

You control thy brethren
You manipulate

You are evil
You are evil


5. THE COLD CHILL OF LOVE

Gracious, merciful, councillor, Prince of Peace
Eternal Deity made flesh for you and me

Day by day I seek Your presence
Eternal twilight our hearts sparkling
From glassy ice but Your warmth surrounds me
Like a campfire in the utter darkness

Just enough chilling cold to comfort me
Just enough cold breeze to keep me calm
Taking me towards the horizon that never ends
Through the thickest of the forest

Into the night realm I hear the angels singing
I am screaming Your praises
I am talking to You in conversation
One on one we talk of many things

In this realm of worship
In this realm of night
Behold the blood and the moon
Behold the cold chill of love

It's time to move towards the trees
Underneath a blanket of stars
The sky is astonishing as it projects
Its midnight glow

Golden Dove pure white
Dancing in the midnight breeze
Cold Dove so, so bright
Singing amidst the Winter's peak

Cold Cold Dove surrounds me
Glowing so every brightly
Cold Cold Dove singing to me
He flies through the trees so humbly

Cold Cold Dove surrounds me
Singing ever so sweetly
Cold Cold Dove eternal
He gives me joy for He loves me

Eternal love


6. DARK REFLECTIONS

Carcass rotting
Flesh decaying
Contemptful reflection

Satan laughing
Angels hiding
From our sinful hearts

Demons come and
Surround my feet
Darkness abides in me

Jealousy and anger
Envy and pride
Sorrow and plague
Are mine
To keep

Sin, sorrow, death, lies
The many lies
Lust, fornicate
The swine gathering
Around my feet
They decay me
Inside
They take my eyes
And turn them black
They shine as silver and gold
They shine as wealth unseen
Escaping my closed wrist
The wound of knife and coals

Blackened to darkness
Oath of deliverance

This anger is mine
This hatred is for me
Is me
To me
Inside me

Blackened to darkness
Oath of deliverance

This anger is mine
This hatred is mine

Jesus
Oh, Lord Jesus
Please deliver me
From this captivity

And take my soul as your own


7. HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN?

Why do you blaspheme to save yourselves
Why do you deny me

I have shown such care for you
I died for you, but you won't die for me
I have made darkness flee
Yet you flee from me

Have you forgotten the voices and cries
Of the martyrs and their blistering screams
Children slaughtered it torments me
Because their parents wouldn't deny me?

Have you forgotten the sorrow that I felt
The blood that poured from my side and my skull
Or the torment and tears I shed for you at calvary?

Why have you forgotten so easily
Why have you betrayed my name
In the face of death, afraid
Have you forgotten?

Sin and decay are a shame in my eyes
Yet I forgave you, I died for you
I take this torment from you
Yet you lie
Yet you kill
You blaspheme my name

Melancholy, such sadness
What you feel is my
Grief and sorrow and plight

Don't deny me, even at the cost of your own family
For they will see me in paradise

Come and sit by my side
And know peace
Forever


8. ROMAN SYMPATHY

Light shines forth
Damning evil
To pits reserved
For hell's despair

Washing over me
Ritualistic sacrifice
Blood soaks my hands

I nailed him to a tree

Can I even be forgiven?
Crucifying the Messiah
What have I done?

Jupiter and Mars
Cannot save me now
From him

What have I done
Crucifying the Savior of
Humankind

What has brought me
To my knees
In repentance

I watched him bleed before me
I seen his despair
And now he has saved me from mine

Now I can be set free
Again

I am forgiven
Jupiter and Mars
Are nothing
There's just him!

Our gods are worthless
They do not even breathe
They cannot sing
They cannot utter a sentence
What am I now?
A child ov the King
The King ov Heaven
These worthless gods
Burned in the light
They cannot sing
They cannot utter a sentence
Who am I now?
A child ov the King

Purification by fire
I am here


9. UNTIL THE STARS BURN

Behold the night frozen light
The moon sets still in the north sky
The stars are falling
The stars are burning

I will rejoice
I will expose
I will fulfill
God's calling on my life
Cold nightly worship in the north sky
Fighting evil and dark desires
Wiping the blood off my feet
From the demonic hordes

Telling me to get on my feet
On the road ever so bleak
Demonic failure is imminent
I will trust in our God forever
And I will fulfill the calling on my life
I will fight demonic filth
Until the stars burn
Until the stars burn
Until the stars burn
Until the stars burn

Until the stars burn
Until the stars burn
I will fight this enemy
This feeling of victory
Is swelling inside of me
I will fight these wicked hosts
Until the stars burn

Until the stars burn
Until the stars burn
Until the stars burn
Until the stars burn

I will fight these wicked hosts
With the power of the Holy Ghost
Spirit, fire, anointing
I will watch Satan roast
His demise in the sky
His wickedness and lies exposed
Until the stars burn

Until the stars burn
Forever burn in fire
Until the stars burn
Eternally trapped by flames
Until the stars burn

Until the stars burn
Until the stars burn
Until the stars burn
Until the stars burn

This feeling of victory
Swelling inside of me
I will fight these wicked hosts
With the power of the Holy Ghost
Spirit, fire, anointing
I will watch Satan roast
His demise in the sky
His wickedness and lies exposed
Until the stars burn

Until the stars burn
Until the stars burn
Until the stars burn
Until the stars burn


10. SELF-INFLICTED MENTAL WOUND

Putrid hatred
Self-inflicted wound
Slaying my solitary mood
My alibi is suicide

I succumb to dark desires
Of my flesh and wake
To reveal my pain
This life is not mine
It was stolen away by me

Take this darkness
And make me whole
Once again
Solitary confinement

Of one's own soul
Dark desires
Lurk around these
Visions of suicide
And self torture

Hanging myself
Before the altar
Of sacrifice
Help me
Suicide is sacrifice

Someone help me
Escape this suicide

Darkness lurks around me
Sulfur burns in front of me

Help us
Oh God help us
Somebody please help me
Help us
Somebody help us please
Anybody please
Can you hear my screams

Or is it just me
Who can hear my cries
Who can hear my withering
Blistering screams
Of despair
All around me
I plague my own mind
With suicide

Self-inflicted mental wound
Self-inflicted mental wound
Self-inflicted mental wound
Darkness has come tonight

To feed on my despair
My sorrow and my grief
My fear haunts me
Satan has caught me

Will I ever prevail
With this darkness
Surrounding me
This night
I'm surrounded
I'm so helpless
And utterly alone

Behold
There's a Savior
And his name is Jesus Christ
He says "Don't worry
I've got you covered and
I've heard each scream
Of pain that you have suffered
And I will give you strength
To live just a few days more
And more and more"

A constant cycle
Of constant worry
And of constant pain
But every time I am
Girded with your strength
To carry on just a few more days
