In a time when integrity is tarnished with no remorse Where being in right-standing is considered a disease To become impure has become a source To set one's mind at ease You have been given an irreplaceable pearl Cast it not away for the sake of mere approval Be aware Of the Lord's constant calling For the walls wherein you dwell May rise up in judgment against you Authentic love will wait, yearning for that day When the Lord will bring two souls in unity Deposit not your beauty you only once can give Only to be lost in a world where consciousness is short-lived The age of innocence should never perish (Romans 13:12-14; Hebrews 13:4)

The work of sin leaves a callous on my soul Leading unto death Mandatory born into this nature Since my very first breath At first sin was fun but now I'm paying For all of my mischievous deeds I want to know what I have so much pain Can someone tell me please? Because of a man I'm destined to die Along with the people I see Unbearable pain, the worm never dies Weeping and gnashing of teeth The man's name: Adam, the sun: disobedience No part in this do I want But now it's too late, I've dug my own grave The memory, this fate will now haunt There's no way out as there was a way in The paint of temptation that dries into sin God had once told you, "You would surely die" Your sin has affected me, now I must cry Why did You die for me? Why did You not leave me be? He ate from the fruit of the tree My eyes can see, why? Who is this man who died on the cross Whose mission was to seek and save Destroying the sin originated by Adam At the abandonment of the grave The man's name: Jesus, the work: obedience Obeying the Father unto death Eviction of sin at the cry, "It is finished!" Before His dying breath I know I'm not worthy of all that You give The simplicity of receiving to live Take me in, receive me from strife I want to serve You the rest of my life Why would You die for me Give Your life to set me free? It's all because You love me And I thank You Jesus for what You've done "Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous." (John 3:16-17; Romans 5:17-19)

Hellrazer 03:46
Arrogant one stands tall Forcing masses to fall prostrate View the idol made of gold Homage to this man of hate Threefold denial Cast into the flames Acknowledgement of faith Diving Protector came If God is for us who can be against us? The world and its desires pass away Your oppression has come to an end Pain - the massive pain Hear - blood-curdling screams Feel - the fires of Hell Within - the Second Death Satan screams as he loses all control (Daniel 3; Romans 8:31, 16:20; 1John 2:16-17; Revelation 20:14)
4.
Requiem 04:30
Behold the killing fields The hordes preparing for battle The angelic host stands ready Lucifer doomed to fall War broke out in Heaven Angelic blood was shed Michael and his angels fought The dragon and his angels bled Satan was not strong enough Lost his place above The great dragon was hurled down That ancient serpent called the devil Who leads the whole world astray Day of wrath, the day of mourning See fulfilled the prophets' warning Heaven and Earth in ashes burning I saw Satan plummet Like lightning from the skies He prowls like a roaring lion To devour with his demise I saw an angel Come down out of Heaven He holds the key The chains are ready He seized the ancient serpent Bound him for a thousand years Thrown into the Abyss Locked and sealed When the thousand years are over Satan will be released To deceive the nations Legions have been gathered Like the sands of the seashore They march across the earth Surrounding God's people "But fire came down from Heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever." (Revelation 12:7-9, 20:1-3, 20:7-10; Luke 10:18; 1Peter 5:8)

Burn No More 04:41
Embers of pain flicker through the night Aware, leading to the furnace of hopelessness once again All alone, cries seem as whispers Thoughts of your voluntary murder, but the final doom awaits Victimized, my life raped by evil Turn the page of life to another hellish chapter The last words written in blood The undying will to live, amputated Salvation obtained, impossibly earned Crimson skeletons behind the closet to burn Jesus, Lord and Master of All Gives me life, I burn no more Life, peace, love, joy I welcome you to meet new life in Jesus (Romans 7:24-25; Ephesians 4:22-23)
6.
Severed the lusts of the flesh No torment to be found thereof Banishment of the guilt within Grace given freely from the Father above I'm dead to the flesh The life that I live is now my faith in Christ Now I'm alive Living dead, walking through the night Night of the living dead Illumination of the dark Through the power of Jesus Christ Where will you go When the soul is all you've got left? Accountable for one's own actions You're responsible for your death To your sins you must die Put on the full armor of God Dismember mortality Clothe yourself with the power of God (Colossians 2:13, 3:3, 3:5; Ephesians 6:11)
7.
They question God's ministry We give our lives to Jesus Christ We will not change to ease the minds of men There will be no compromise Rejection through closed eyes Denying the chance to lead Hearing only screaming They believe we're in sin They fail to see what we're doing Spreading the Word of Jesus Christ We choose to see To lead through our ministry Giving our talents back to the Lord There will be no compromise In our heaviness, we praise Him We will never give ground to Satan In our heaviness, we praise Him We will never back down They fail to see what we're doing Spreading the Word of Jesus Christ We will not change to ease the minds of men There will be no compromise (1Corinthians 9:19-23, 12:12-14; Romans 12:4-5)

Strength 04:08
Do you believe you're more powerful than I? This spiritual strength comes from the authority of God Do you believe you're more powerful than Him? Your presence makes me want to vomit I call upon the angels of the Lord in the name of Jesus To smite the pathetic demons present To dismantle their deceptions To bind all their lies Satan, you lost the battle long ago I rebuke you and your demons, so weak I dismantle the deceptions I bind all the lies Spiritual authority has taken control No longer will you deceive me I'm covered by the blood of Jesus Christ In the name of Jesus, flee! (Luke 10:17-19; Ephesians 1:7; James 4:7)
9.
Reborn 05:50
Clawing at the walls Alone with my sinful nature Left to die No hope for me, my soul lies bleeding Reaching out, it's like nobody's there Choked on the lies, I spit in the air The pain I have given is now plain to see The life I have chosen has walked out on me I've heard it all before It never meant that much to me How a Man I didn't know Could suffer and die in humility For a soul as lost as mine And actions undeserving of a Savior's love I felt just like the prodigal son And crying out I reached for God above I believed You came and took my hand You set me free In victory I stand I'm relieved No longer insecure I received A perfect love from a heart so pure (Luke 15:11-31; Romans 8:37-39; Galatians 5:1)
10.
Shield 04:47
I will exalt You O Lord For You lifted me out of the depths You did not let my enemies Gloat over me O Lord my God I called to You for help And You healed me You brought me out of the grave Out of the pit Give praise to Him you saints of His Praise His holy name Weeping may last for a night But joy comes in the morning I lie down and sleep, I wake again For the Lord sustains me I will not fear tens of thousands That come against me on every side Arise O Lord Deliver me Break the teeth of the wicked (Psalm 30:1-5, 3:3-7)
11.
You said you loved Me, I believed I gave My will and you agreed Over time your own path you've made Even after the price I paid You tried so hard to follow My path But twisted words have churned up wrath Time is short, there's work to be done But futile quarrels have begun Enter the bedlam, the innocent pay From closed minds within the twisted day The victim is you, not Me It is for My glory that you should see Instead of sharing My love with friends The dissension among you already begins Time is short, your unknown destiny has been set Feel destruction's breath breathing down your neck You blame this on others and fight in your homes To keep from having to leave your comfort zones Tribulation is over, the days of life are gone Your friends aren't with you and you wonder where they went wrong Your life is at an end, your flesh given to birds Only because my trials you failed due to twisted words An unseen lampstand Thereupon is a star Its life faintly flickers Seen from afar As rivers of fury and oceans of hatred grow The lampstand is darkened and with it its glow You must not grow weary or forget what you've heard Blood was shed on the cross before those twisted words (Matthew 5:14-16, 7:15-16; 1Timothy 4:1; 2Timothy 2:24; James 4:14; 1Thessalonians 4:17; Revelation 1:20)
