Pounded by Our Sins

Intro: Called to the battle, marching on, Brothers in Christ, side by side, Against dark armies, invisible might, Metal is still alive, Jesus is at your side! Called to the battle, marching on, Brothers in Christ, side by side, Against dark armies, invisible might, Metal is still alive, yeah we will arise! 1.) Spiritual warfare in every land, The name of God is the sword in your hand. Start your engines; send your prayer to God. Start your engines; send your prayer to God. He uses your weakness, so you can be strong. Prepare your weapon for the spiritual war. Refrain: Metal is still alive; Yeah we will arise. Now trust in God, And take your sword to start the fight. Metal is still alive; Yeah we will arise. Now is the time, To trust in God and fight the dark. 2.) Be strong in the Lord And in the strength of His might. Put on the armor of God you’ll be able to stand Against the wiles of the devil And his demonic tricks. You will be able to resist When the enemy attacks. 3.) We don’t fight against people on earth We don’t fight against flesh and blood. It’s a spiritual fight against the invisible might And cosmic powers of the dark age, When the evil day comes, Put on the armor of God. After fighting to the end, You will still hold your ground. Refr.: Metal is still alive .... 4.) With truth as a belt Tight around your waist, Take your breastplate of justice, And stand ready to fight. Put your shoes on your feet So that you’re ready to spread All the days you have to live Tell the good news of peace. Above all, carry faith as a shield To quench the flaming arrows of hell That will be shot by the evil one. Darkness and fear is the devil’s home. Take helmet of salvation and the Spirit’s sword. It is Jesus Christ, who is God’s word. Refr.: Metal is still alive ....

1.) Wanting to be an instrument to build God’s army, The search began for the soldiers of Christ. Confident in the things to come, We started a journey to proclaim God’s word. Chorus: Through all these tears, Through all this time, Through all this pain we’ve come; But now we’re back, Now we’re here, Taking this challenge without fear. This is now –this is the time, A new beginning –the new chapter. 2.) So we hit the road, going the way that we thought was right To realize that without God’s guidance We will fail – we had to learn to handle Our problems first. 3.) Before we could be instruments for the risen One, With His help were move the stumbling stones And learn in Him We can be strong. Not sung: (Through all these years we've played our songs, Still something wasn't right – always on the run To find what we fight for. So we're at this point right now. What will be the next? A new chapter is opened. In trust we take the next step.)

Intro: And a light shines through the dark, Warm and clear like a shining star, And a voice is calling, “I am here.” 1.) There’s this feeling I can’t describe; there’s this voice from deep inside, Calling tome, “Come on, My friend. With Me your life will never end.” Through the dark times, through the crimes, His Holy Ghost is deep inside; His Holy Ghost is deep inside my heart. Refrain: True life, True love, True grace, TrueTrinity. You are my Father. You are the Holy Ghost. You are the Son of heaven saving our souls. You are my Father. You are the Holy Ghost. You are the Son of heaven. 2.) I would believe it but I can’t – tried it a thousand times. Every day I’m doing things which block my way to Him. Sometimes I search for Him, and He lets me find His words like balm go to my heart, and then I’m not alone. Refrain: True life, True love, True grace, TrueTrinity. You are my Father. You are the Holy Ghost. You are the Son of heaven saving our souls. You are my Father. You are the Holy Ghost. You are the Son of heaven.

1.) The sweet life burns like a fire, No rescue for my pounded soul, No one interested in my opinions. Nested programs in my head, A vicious paradigm for trivial life, Mental derangement embraces me. Cut off by my own excuses, Levitating through the haze. Refrain: Pounded By my own rejection. Hollowed And dashed by sin. Confounded Due to lousy advice. Lifeless under hollowed skin. - Repeat My soul destroyed by anger and painabout my life, pounded by sin. Lifeless under hollowed skin, my soul destroyed, pounded by sin. 2.) Visionary ways my mind is building To escape my nightmare, Pillow in a padded room, Where I lay my head. Falling into deep black emptiness, Waiting for my downfall, Delirious thoughts compounded by sin. Refrain: Pounded… 3.) Open water, I am dreaming, Where my soul is not abused. Sailing on the waves of lightness. No reminder of my deeper thoughts. Cradled in a crib of brightness, Paralyzed by a false sense Of security, I forget what I should do. Refrain: Pounded…

1.) Twisting and turning unable to sleep. I can't stop thinking no chance to fall asleep. So angry about the dreams that keep me awake. My mind is running running all through the night. So many doubts about who I am. A life full of shame. Refrain: Oh Lord look into my soul, raise me up, and make me whole. Let me feel your grace again. Oh Lord look into my soul, Release me from my pain. Raise me up and make me whole. Bridge: In Me, Horror, The sin is unleashed, Burning from the inside, Unable to heal myself. I don't know how much I can suffer, There's only so much I can take. Feels like I am losing myself. This vessel has been destroyed. Pre-chorus: Father, Saveme. Releaseme from my sins. Refrain Bridge 2.) I feel I was born in a sacred land, Like in a world that won't understand. No mystique, no magic, no life on demand, 'Cause this is my cry for a helping hand. Outro: Oh Lord look into my soul, raise me up, and make me whole. Let me feel your grace again. Oh Lord look into my soul, Release me from my pain. Raise me up and make me whole.

1.) Step by step it came over me, Not a hunch of how the world's going on. Blind in suspense ‘cause of my doubts, Grew up seeing life's darkness. Learned to live in society. Did things people wanted me. Increased more 'n more in my qualities Like a slave, rushing to cold hard money. Bridge: Darkness, darkness - Surrounds me more! Wheels of time - Drown my life! Refrain: There's brightness in the dark A view of hope you gave! Please open these closed eyes, And let me see grace in the light! Follow Him and come on home. The Holy Ghost is leading you, And everywhere I am, There's brightness in the dark. 2.) Everything I see is corrupted world. Such quiet and unseen strings are pulled. In front of me poor humanity And behind me rich society Day by day what am I working for? Move money from here to there! Makes my job more than I want Every single coin has got a bloody side. Sense in my life no longer exists! Searching after cheese like a little mouse, But in cages of metal you're looking for nothing. Where's the exit from this wicked system? Look around you and tell me what you see? Bridge: Darkness… Refrain

1.) Troubled, enchained – blinded by a phantom agony, The world comes closer to a deeper nightmare. What is the reason for this heartbreaking vision That is embracing me at my conclusion? Traveling through dreams that make me tired, Seeing the world break in the haze of war. Can’t see the difference between me and all the others, Going forward to lose my ground, To lose my ground. Chorus: This is the fall, This is the fall, This is the fall of vanity, The breakdown of faithless mankind. This is the fall, This is the fall, This is the fall of vanity, The major fault will become apparent. 2.) My mind is not at ease – my opinions are not real. When I’m alone, I’m doing things I should not do. When I cannot stop, they cause my downfall. The sin will not win – I have to be stronger. I try so hard to conquer my depth, But alone I will not manage – I need help. Blind running through time – do not see the mighty grace Given to my life, To my life. Bridge (spoken word): Could it be the truth? Is it meant for me? Who ist his strong, brave Savior who shares His blood with me? I heard about Him when I was a child but one day I forgot Him. And now in the hour of trial He’s calling my name. I can’t believe He was always there; why was I so blind? The noise of the world was too loud; His voice could not be heard. Please, please tell me what I should do. I didn’t realize that You were always by my side. I have to say sorry; it wasn’t meant like this. I never intended to close the door before Your face. I’m at aloss what to do; tell me, what is the next step? The days I was faithless have been counted; please, save me from my sins. 3.) So I will go tell the world, that the vanity must end. It must be the time that they accept that You can heal the world. The vanity of politicians and visions must fall. When You come back Into this world, There will be no excuses for the things that we have done, We have done.

1.) What’s the cause? I am still depressed. So confused, I cannot rest. Unspoken thoughts, they cut me down. Can’t free my mind from being down. Every day is like the other; I see me caught in my own disaster. Like a snake in the dust, I lick the last drops of joy from the ground. Refrain: All I want is to feel life again. All I need is to be loved again. All I wish is to be saved in You. All I dream is to be near to You. 2.) What’s the reason for my failing to be a good Christian? What did I do wrong? Is it about my thoughts? Is it about knowing I’m not free from sin? Thoughts about things seem more important than being near to You. My faith is still not bulletproof so I’m still dying every day. Bridge: Every day I’m still dying, Haven’t yet been healed inside. No way to pull myself out of the dirt, My faith is still notbulletproof. My faith in You is broken down. My faith in You is broken down. Solo... Refrain: All I want is to feel life again. All I need is to be loved again. All I wish is to be saved in You. All I dream is to be near to You. 3.) It’s so hard to realize I fail standing on my own feet, To recognize that with my own strength I can’t manage.

Intro: Life, Won't lose. The path of death I will not choose. Refrain: Life is such a wonderful thing. It was given to you by the only One, The Almighty, in eternity. Eternity, eternity, eternity, eternity, Eternity, eternity, eternity, eternity. 1.) A thousand questions just one answer – can you tell me what is right? My life is flowing through myhands – I feel I lose control. The filament of life gets thinner – no idea how long it stays. The loop of death is getting tighter – with every single day in your life. Refrain: Life is such a wonderful thing. It was given to you by the only One, The Almighty in eternity. Eternity, eternity, eternity, eternity, Eternity, eternity, eternity, eternity. 2.) There is no reason to run away– death comes for us all, But we believe the risen One –and He will reappear, Yes, He will reappear. The devil tries to pull us down, in every single way. So raise your hands and pray, Search for... For eternity.
