I’m down on my knees What lay before me but ruin and misery Now in deep reflection I see That we are solely to blame Imprisoned, our own words Separate us from our hearts We longed for, something more So we sacrificed it all Bathed in doubt I scream Should this fate befall me I surely was pure in deed Or am I rightly Placed in these guilty chains Face to the earth in shame In my disbelief I tried to flee, but the jury convicted me The charges I stand before Guilty of searching for something more Searching for something more

My prayer, my prayer That faith will be my voice of reason Through trials and storms My hope will always lie in you If I should fail Your mercy will be never failing My hope in the unseen to stay forever strong That through flame and fire My mouth never denies That my hearts desires My mouth never denies You pardon all of the transgression that I’ll ever see Your mercy reaches past my burdens and my apathy If ever I should thirst with water you reach out to me If ever I should fear unfailing love will surround me Rectify my life, I want to burn for you Take this flesh and bone and make it what you will That I may seek you in the darkest of the blackest nights That I may know that those who truly seek will always find That I may knock and know the door will always open wide That I reflect upon the day the stone was rolled aside

How could you, spit in the face of God This is an all out war The hatred you preach won't stand any longer We’ve come to rectify The years of abuse and pain The bitter taste, endured Till we can celebrate Revere the glory of your demise Your words will not prevail, and we will not stray The time has come for all the wrongs, to be turned into rights It won’t be long How dare you, condemn in the name of God This is your final chance For He will send the wicked down for their lies The pit of destruction awaits Oh, deceptive tongue For your folly, you will pay The final hour approaches Of sorrow and despair And soon enough, you’ll beg for death to come These days will come Come to an end and so will you The words you’ve said Depicted a voice that you Were never given Time for reformation Has arrived

Kings of the earth A new dawn approaches You’ll be persuaded by silver tongues Promises of peace and healing A holy union your promised prize No, it’s all a lie Evil lurks A wolf in sheep’s clothing This surely is your demise But do not fear for evil will not overcome Behold the seven signs The words of false prophets They speak of wars and rumors Of coming times Many will fall As the earth shakes with anger And famines run wild The torment of the chosen ones And a new proclamation Abolished, the sacrifice No holy place, no altar to speak of Kneel, before the throne A false king now sits No more, this too shall pass Look to the sky, my butts are parting Behold, the power and glory A new King descends to claim His right Destroyed, the days of old The wicked one, and those in his counsel Rise, the earth anew Free from the shackles of evil that bind us

Verily, Verily I say unto thee That I am utterly appalled by your Words and your deeds And while I pray that I forgive you In multiples of seventy I quietly wonder if you’ll pay for your deceit You’re one of the many to fall away He who breathes out lies will not escape There will come a day You will take the blame for all the pain you gave Stand up tall It won't be long The white throne calls your name You’re next in line I see darkness in his eyes Intent on suffering His silver tongue provides Excuses for his deeds He pities not the broken and honors not the least of these But he will stand, before a living God And reap the suffering One day he’ll stand before a living God And pay for all their pain

How could this be That out of the darkness A light has been cast upon me And what would I do If my own irreverence Forever kept me from the truth I've watched the aging face In the reflection stare at me Watching hour by hour He affords no sympathy I've tried to dim the lights To avoid accusing stares But he always finds my eyes And reminds me who I am I've felt the hand of mercy Reaching down for me To pull me from the trenches To calm the stormy seas To wash me in the waters To cleanse me in the blood To start my new becoming And vanquish what I was

I am wasting away The desires of my mind left A shameful path walked by a man Surely unworthy of grace And I have no one to blame And no one to take the pain away I‘ve had my life Hit the bottom multiple times before my eyes So I’m left wasting away, wasting away But I’m supposed to believe That I can be saved When the life I’ve lead is so despicable Can I push the limits, be accepted for the things that I’ve done Behind Closed Doors For I’ve lived a life that I’m ashamed of Will I be forgiven, or abandoned for the secrets I keep Behind Closed Doors Never had I imagined I’d seek forgiveness And be accepted Like I had never committed these sins As I lay filthy, disgusted at my own reflection I slowly I wonder if I’ll ever end this suffering So I bide my time And I lie awake at night Then I close my eyes And wonder if I’ll ever wake up It’s been too long now Since I could believe In places for people like me To have their sins washed clean It’s been too long Since I believed Can I be clean Its been too long

Once I believed The very air I breathed To be the only life I’d need Lost and alone Tattered and torn My heart cries out My soul cries out Now here I stand, strong as I am Unable to bear all these burdens alone Take, take all these fears I give them to you, I cast them on you Set me on fire, I’m alive

So it begins the day we've feared is upon us The walls are - the walls are closing in We close our eyes as we number our transgressions The dawn approaching and we've only just begun The days of redemption are gone Gone forever When will we see our worst fears are coming true The monsters that we seek are just faces in the mirror Did we ignore as we were warned in phases A beastly mark exchanged for so much more The suffering will be forever Engulfed in flames in pain reaching for the surface The days of redemption are gone Gone forever No time for forgiveness the last degree befalls me How i wished I'd known that this would be my eternity To burn forever in the pit of Belial With the sons of fire When will we see our worst fears are coming true The monsters that we seek are just faces in the mirror

Oh bringer of forever’s fires, where is your victory Destroyer of souls, devourer, where is your sting How the oppressor has ceased, your insolence failing Your minions descend the grave Your image revolting Where is your sting Oh prince of darkness The savior commands you For your rebellion You will ascend no more The time is drawing nigh Your supremacy ending The end of your reign approaches Atonement is waiting We’ve set our eyes to Zion
