From the Fire
04:43
|

|
Naked and disguising
Unable to hide
Guilty of eternal and temporal crimes
The enemy accuses
Says I deserve to die
And the worst of all is that he’s right
Child of a world defiled
Offered to be reconciled
Paid in blood to be born again
Taken from the fire as a brand
God, why would you consider this man?
God, where’s the righteousness you demand?
Casting aside your crown to wear my curse
The diadem of my shame
Aghast, angels and earth witness their king falling down like the rest
Swallowed in soil and weakness, and lower you go to give sinners your Name
Rising, your victory clothes you
Assurance to all who would know you

Beat the Machine
03:48
|
|||
|
Broken code, programming incomplete
Running to what only will deplete
A life in chains held by the great machine
To enslave us to his deadly regime
Devoured on the gears of the fear we believed
This world reaps the wages of iniquity
We can’t put our trust in the things we have seen
We can’t conform, we must renew our minds
TO BEAT THE MACHINE!!
No longer captive to the lies
We’re pressing onward toward the prize
Victory found in sacrifice
TO BEAT THE MACHINE!!
It’s more than just gaining a second birth
And waiting for the day of judgement
You must remove the chains from your thinking
To manifest a nature renewed
Lies contaminate the airwaves
The power of the skies
Programming to make us slaves
This is where it dies
"If anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation
Old things have passed away and the new has come"
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
Therefore, do not be conformed any longer
to the pattern of this world
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2)
No longer scales over our eyes
The enemy has no disguise
You’ll see an army start to rise
TO BEAT THE MACHINE!!!

Captives
03:48

You are the road to the grave
The poison I crave
You say that I’m your lover but, to you, I’m a slave
The bondage begins when you lure us in
and traffick who you’ve captured for the pleasure of skin
I’ll cut off my hand before I reach for you
Gouge out an eye or, better yet, make it two
I’m severing ties and exposing all the damage that you do
No gonna fall for you anymore
Not gonna come when you call anymore
Not gonna feed the oppression you’ve hidden behind closed doors
For the soul made a commodity
and the addicted imprisoned beneath
There is a Savior who paid the price to set the captives free
The incarnated Deity
No hope of winning this fight
Exposed as a blight
No one to come and save you when you’re brought to the light
Victims of every age
Now out of their cage
And judgement falling on you with a holy rage
Displayed on a screen, and sell on the street
This flesh-trading empire will see its defeat

Become the Pain
03:52
|
|||
|
It’s just another string from abuse
It’s just another time I was used
It’s just another broken heart
It’s just another dream torn apart
No small endeavor (to leave the past behind)
You’re close forever (Every fracture you will bind)
In the midst of the lies and the stains
Mercy triumphs over blame
Despite the scars that remain, I refuse...
Refuse to become the pain!
The brighter future I could partake
In danger of the black sky of hate
The measure that I’ve held against you
Become the judgement that runs me through
Father in heaven
Hallowed by your Name
Forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us
Divorced from the memories and stains
By letting go of the disdain
With mercy leading the way, I refuse...
Refuse to become the pain!

Consume Me
03:40
|
|||
|
Who can deny existence beyond the grave?
Who will deny themselves these pleasures that we crave? Meaningless endeavors lead to meaningless results
And even if the world is in your hands, where is your soul?
I won’t allow my impulses to consume me
I’ll find my purpose looking towards eternity
Wake up and change the course of your life
Walk the narrow path rather than the wide
Not controlled by every flippant desire
But overtaken by an all consuming fire
Take a step back
Hate what I see
Witnessing clockwork mediocrity
There’s no way I’ll let the jaws of time consume me
Until I know this drink offering is empty
There is no wisdom
There is no plan
There’s no achievement in the grave where
we’re going

Define Me
04:00
|
|||
|
Three years, or three seconds
All part of a past I’m not living in
To keep looking back
Leaves me with a stiff neck and stumbling feet
I am a new creation not ashamed of my liberation
Call me what you will
But it’s never gonna be what can define me
I change the way I see myself
And now I live from that identity
No longer destined for defeat, This life restored is
WHAT CAN DEFINE ME!!!
I’m healed, and set free
And preserved all the days to come
I’m not perfection
But I PRESS ON TILL I AM DONE!!

I can see it on your face
The sorrow overflows
Through the cracks of the mask you made so it doesn’t show
The walls are closing in
The pressure builds within
And you’re worried everyone is gonna see you explode
I know when you’re all alone
The memories come in like a wave
And they cut to the bone
You question yourself a thousand times
“Why do I bother to try?”
So do I
The blood is enough
For everybody to begin again
The blood (Jesus’ precious blood) is the hope
For the defeated to finally win
With your identity erased
It feels like there is no escape
From the thoughts warring inside of your head
One more scar and you might break
It’s far too much to fake
And you’re worried the fear might take control
And to your cries
Mercy replies
Sever the ties
To the wounds of yesterday
Where sin abounds
Grace steals the crown
No longer bound
To the wounds of yesterday

Fragment
02:57
|
|||
|
Give one good reason to me
To stay in the box that you made for me
Self-proclaimed renegades
Put a finger in my face to go with their grain
(I don’t think so!)
This is my life, this is my dream
This is my very own fragment of eternity
I’m becoming everything that I was designed to be
This is my life, this is my dream
This is my very own fragment of eternity
His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth
As it’s been given to me!
It’s about the young and the old
to find that there’s a cure for the cracks in their souls
God bless you, if it’s not your thing
Go listen to whatever somebody else songs
(But this is my song!)
I’ll put God in my lyrics, if I want to
Turn the amps to 11, if I want to
Make the songs dynamic, if I want to
Share my faith from the stage, if I want to
You can become a critic, if you want to
Waste your breathe trying to change me, if you want to!

Heavy Chains
03:07
|
|||
|
To all of those
With habits that make life crumble at the base
Hidden in
The corners of your life
In the shadow of shame
The time of empty bottles and broken needles
Are coming to an end
Empty promises of intoxication
Will see their efforts spent
Take back your life
Shake off these heavy chains
Never return
Forsaking these heavy chains
Don’t give in or quit
Your life was made for more than this, so
Take back your life
So take off these heavy chains
Though it seems
The web you’re in has got you too tangled to win
The body broke
The blood was shed to sever the cords of sin
With one step at a time from the chains that bind you
It will amount to your exodus
Don’t forget that a life awaits you
Just beyond the fight to be free
Taking it back!!

This is a war, and your soul’s on the line
To destroy your holy design
Make the choice where life aligns
And march straight in the infantry line
In the pages, you’ll find
The helmet to guard your mind
Authority to loose or bind
Spiritual powers and deeds of their kind.
(This is a war) And it’s already won
(This is a war) In the blood of the Son
(This is a war) And it can’t be undone
Like a shot from a gun!
(This is a war) Against the
world now maligned
(This is a war) And the powers that blind
(This is a war) A generation defined
By leaving standards behind
This is a war, and you better be ready
Eyes straight. Make sure your aim’s steady
Tread light; the landscape is deadly
I refuse to be another casualty
Turning my eyes to eternity
Not falling for temporary blasphemies
Been stricken by all of my enemies
But I swear, you haven’t seen the last of me
Bleeding out the blood of atonement
My sin is erased in a moment
The truth sets me free when I come to know it
By faith, I won’t live below it
(This is a war) Now absolved from my crimes
(This is a war) I’m turning back to design
(This is a war) Not a creature maligned
Abundant life is mine!
