Exodus

[Music: M. Elsner, J. Cross, R. Knight, lyrics: S. Cooley] What you don't know Is this can hurt you Be the reason that you will bleed Obsessed with living Never giving Fulfilling all your selfish needs You are self-obsessed And so possessed This very thing is bringing You down You know this pain brought Selfish mind sought This storm of swords Brought you to the ground Facing The storm of swords Realizing Your mind forlorn Facing The storm of swords Selfish Your heart is torn I'm surrounded By the very power That gives force to The only one who Will release The only one who will not cease So powerful The three in one Father, spirit, only son Trinity makes me complete In death knows no defeat What you don't know Is this can hurt you Be the reason that you will bleed Obsessed with living Never giving Fulfilling all your selfish needs You are self-obsessed And so possessed This very thing is bringing You down You know this pain brought Selfish mind sought This storm of swords Brought you to the ground Facing The storm of swords Realizing Your mind forlorn Facing The storm of swords Selfish Your heart is torn I'm surrounded The only one whom Will release The only one who will not cease So powerful The three in one Father, spirit, only son Trinity makes me complete In death knows no defeat Storm [Solo: Josh] Facing the storm Of swords

[Music: Z. Knight, M. Elsner, J. Cross, R. Knight, lyrics: S. Cooley] The hour Is here Time quickly erodes into a state of madness A leviathan of preordained truth As the event draws near in status Approaching As is in a terrifying dream Denying it will not prevent For it is as it seems The final minute All of prophecy Revealing this last stand Determining just who will live Reveal the upper hand The hour Is here Sands of time now cease to fall with prejudice Banal world on verge and brink Destructive end so imminent Flying on The winds of death This resolution being To a gored and ghastly state Paralyzed by what you're seeing You can't fight and won't win This vision shakes your soul The tide turned and you're burned The end the only goal The hour Is here The reaping of what you've sown Is so close at hand Eleventh hour has finally come This is your final stand [Solo: Josh] The eleventh hour Is here

[Music: Z. Knight, M. Elsner, J. Cross, R. Knight, lyrics: S. Cooley, Z. Knight] There was a time I was the one That you believed in Time wore on Your faith stood still No longer within I kept struggling without solution Your pain refused to heal No possible real solution In time this life was sealed I am the one Who lives in sorrow Battered and broken Upon my cross With my blood I paid tomorrow The day will come You'll know just what Was lost Distance, time Does not heal Levity and pain Is real I kept struggling without solution Your pain refused to heal No possible real solution In time this life was sealed I am the one Who lives in sorrow Battered and broken Upon my cross With my blood I paid tomorrow The day will come You'll know just what Was lost What was lost What was lost Time and time And time and time And time and time Again This struggle just perpetuates Seems never to end Never did I think that this could ever Seal the deal This pain you caused Will not go on because I choose to heal I was the one who lived in sorrow Battered and broken upon my cross With my blood I paid tomorrow The day will come You'll know just what was lost No more Sorrow

[Music: Z. Knight, M. Elsner, J. Cross, R. Knight, lyrics: S. Cooley, Z. Knight] All hail the king Of darkness His reign of terror becomes complete A liar's crown Sits upon his brow Blinding those who thought could see All hail The tyrant king Bringing the world's destruction This is so wrong to me Yet it seems The current social direction The wrong direction So behold the crimson throne Upon which sits the king Martyred himself To save the world And crush this darkened being Truth flails The tyrant king Against the crimson lord Crushed against The mighty shield And thrown out Upon the sword So fails the prince Of darkness He has no power over weak Thrown in the pit For the second death The greatest failure of eternity All hail The crimson king Bringing the world's salvation This is a powerful truth And it will be The final prediction The true prediction So behold the crimson throne Upon which sits the king Martyred himself To save the world And crush this darkened being Behold The crimson throne Behold The crimson throne

[Music: J. Cross, M. Elsner, R. Knight, lyrics: Z. Knight, S. Cooley] They are hungry, Emaciated Starving for the next event, But they are drowning, Quickly drowning, In the maelstrom; at the end's behest We are lost forever, In a time where man is blind, To rebel has been our nature, When will we see the light? War and violence, Kings and tyrants, Adding to the toll of the dead. Clock is ticking, Time is nearing, To lay this system to its rest [Solo: Josh] We are lost forever, In a time where man is blind, To rebel has been our nature, Will we ever see the light? Bring life to all Of this society Bring God to all Of this society

[Music: M. Elsner, J. Cross, R. Knight, lyrics: S. Cooley] From dust you were made To dust you return Humanity is a waste Today its lesson will be learned Each one of the passing days Ignore the signs of impending wrath Of heaven raining your demise For tables now have turned Clouds unfold Destruction now consumes the earth Rapture has passed Those in doubt left suffering Unremorsefully remain behind Are symbols of the Apocalypse that is coming What is this? Can it be? The end Of humanity No more grace Fools so blind to see The judgement comes It's the time Of the reckoning For it's far too late To change your fate As the end has come to be Debt will be repaid The choice was made On this day Of the reckoning Standing hopeful that My name not called From the list of the ones To fall Through the doubts my faith Would sail Though I suffered it Never failed Plagues unleashed Marks of the approaching beast Judgement at hand Humanity and its last stand Unremorsefully remain behind Are symbols of the Apocalypse that is coming What is this? Can it be? The end Of humanity No more grace Fools so blind to see The judgement comes It's the time Of reckoning For it's far too late To end your hate As the end has come to be Debt will be repaid The choice was made On this day Of the reckoning The reckoning The reckoning The end is here The end is here The reckoning

[Music: Z. Knight, M. Elsner, J. Cross, R. Knight, lyrics: S. Cooley, Z. Knight] For so long we've searched for a remedy "In men we trust" to the signs; a blind eye How can we be free with no consequence? Never fulfilled until we look towards the skies Hatred and greed On sorrow we feed Craving the next Dramatic entrance With all that we see, Don't know what we need Too lost to the dark To make a difference I'm weighed down by this constant shadow Plaguing my thoughts Corrupting my mind I'm chained down By the shame of tomorrow Mankind is lost This world dies So this darkness sits heavy upon my chest Do I breathe in the air? A great lie Taste the forbidden From the fallen Serpent Banned from the gates Lost to the light Hatred and greed On sorrow we feed Craving the next Dramatic entrance With all that we see, Don't know what we need Too lost to the dark To make a difference I'm weighed down by this constant shadow Plaguing my thoughts Corrupting my mind I'm chained down By the shame of tomorrow Mankind is lost This world dies This life is constant shadow Bloodshed and war Deceit and defiance The day will come and it will be too late To remember his word To make our change We have failed our creator God take me home God take me home

[Music: Z. Knight, M. Elsner, R. Knight, lyrics: Z. Knight, S. Cooley] Bow down to your interim "God" Clawing at your mind Weighing down your heart Shines bright for the eyes of man Obsessed on the brink of destruction For what? For what is it all? Material gain Will mean nothing when you fall Blood Is the answer, You can have all the gold in the world but Blood Is the answer There are no riches when the casket is shut Bow down to the one true god Released your tortured mind Healed your broken heart Blood purchased the souls of man Released the world from the brink of destruction For what? For what is it all? Material gain Will mean nothing when you fall Blood Is the answer, You can have all the gold in the world but Blood Is the answer There are no riches when the casket is shut We survive on the root of all evil But if you reach the gates The only value in anything you've ever done is your faith in the Blood Blood Is the answer, You can have all the gold in the world but Blood Is the answer There are no riches when the casket is shut

[Music: Z. Knight, R. Knight, lyrics: S. Cooley, Z. Knight] The flame is gone Still we sift through the ashes Piece together What we thought could be saved How many times Will we bludgeon dead horses? Contempt and discontent are all that remain To Breathe life into words forgotten Bring Hope to this dying world Before our eyes We see the light, As man's knees drop to the floor We hear their cries A dark divide Slowly dying evermore The flame returns As we rebuild the ramparts Put together What we knew could be saved Just one more time As we bludgeon the demons Contempt and discontent will never remain To Breathe life into words forgotten Bring Hope to this dying world Before our eyes We see the light, As man's knees drop to the floor We hear their cries A dark divide Slowly dying evermore Evermore [Solo: Josh, Zack] Before our eyes We see the light, As man's knees drop to the floor We hear their cries A dark divide Slowly dying evermore

[Music: J. Cross, M. Elsner, R. Knight, lyrics: S. Cooley] Waiting for the world to change All consumed with fear Existence was embattled Negativity of peers Although my soul Was tortured Wretched with searing pain Visions of my past it seems Were haunting me again Ending time Crushed my life was over It was the bitter end Rage replaced my sanity Fight to live again All the paths I walked it seemed Were darkened deepest black Past the point of all return Never to turn back Then it hit me Crossed the line I approached my ending time Died to self Rebirth in me End to all the misery Death to all This suffering Death to all The suffering [Solo: Josh] This is mine My dying time This is mine My dying time This is mine My rebirth "Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him."

[Music: J. Cross, M. Elsner, R. Knight, lyrics: S. Cooley, J. Cross] Let this pain Serve to remind me A perfect will Greater than me Now as I see all this come around Can't let my selfish nature rule out Just let me be I'll keep on believing This will is greater Stronger than me This thorn In my side This thorn Is why Long is the path I tread Great is the pain to remind Me to shed My inner selfish needs The weakness within This thorn will bleed This thorn will bleed This thorn In my side This thorn Is why Is why As I look to the sky I keep on wondering why I'm still losing This thorn in my side That I wish I could hide your still using "Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, 7 or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." [2 Corinthians 12:6-10] Thanks to wearegridiron for sending these lyrics.
