1. 20 Tounges
run your mouth
brothers, sisters watch your back
knives are coming down from the mouths of family
put down, let down, let die through these lies
broken i stand unreconciled
submissive resistance amputation of a helping hand
gossip, gossip, gossip
pride comes before your fall
who do you think of when you're running your mouth?
your friends, they tell me every word that you say
good thing i have you to tell my story for me
your reflection stands shattered
our trust is broken
your finger points right back at you
when your words are so many sin is close by
driven by anger, driven by anger
brothers, sisters watch your back
knives are coming down from the mouths of family
put down, let down, let die through these lies
broken i stand unreconciled
submissive resistance amputation of a helping hand
gossip, gossip, gossip
pride comes before your fall
caught in hatred, caught in anger, when will this stop?
who do you think of when your running your mouth?
2. Breed
pride yourself unholy one, never grasp the throne of God
receive your fate your prideful pig forever you will not win
i will not be deceived
i will not give into your temptation
i am bought by the Blood of Jesus
the power of heaven protects me
meaningless to me is blasphemies
you say i am weak (by Christ i'm made strong)
denying temptation (through God)
sit at your throne of this world creating your patchwork of hate
call me what you want the truth remains the same
i am branded christian
immortal soul of mine fearing not this world
i am enslaved by no man
remaining in my faith i do not stand alone
my spirit is willing
falling to my knees a servant unto Christ in this world of disease
forever, eternal. standing by my Father's side
as i watch this world return to sodom & gomorrah
i hate to watch you fall
i bow down to only one God - Christ who died and arose
and to see you wallow in your shame and to deny His love and grace?
i hate to watch you fall
pride yourself unholy one, never grasp the throne of God
receive your fate your prideful pig forever you know you will not win
forget my past
in time you stand to question my faith
a continuing game of chasing your tail
i will not give into your clouded ways
and from this path my foot will never stray
i will not be deceived
i will not give into your temptations
i am bought by the Blood of Jesus
the power of heaven protects me
meaningless to me is blasphemies
3. Swine
standing breathless before the throne of Christ
judgement has fallen leaving you crying why God why
where is your savior?
mindless follower
bow to your altar of mockery now it is time to face truth
you have been lied to constantly
truth is in Christ soon you will see
your pagan religion is full of deception
you cannot conceive eternal damnation
satan has led you away from redemption
the blood of the Son is your only salvation
liar leading the weak to burn with you in hell
lucifer you will lose, you were overthrown
defeated since beginning
your anger fueled with envy
God's perfect image you set out to destroy
but you're unsuccessful your end is now approaching
heed prophecy you were warned
4. Blinded
overwhelming lust consumes my spirit
i have given into my own flesh
corrupted, corrupted, corrupted, no longer
i beat my chest in disgust with my actions
starting a battle knowing i will fall
but return to you Lord knowing my failure
the consequences of my actions have found me on my face
defiling thoughts intentions numb to my conviction
i am weak submitting to myself my spirit stained
no more convictions these thoughts remain impure
i beat my chest in disgust with my actions
starting a battle knowing i will fall
blinded i must cut myself from this flesh
blinded separate myself from this sin
blinded rise above my shame
blinded this will not triumph over me
defiling thoughts intentions numb to my conviction
i am weak submitting to myself my spirit stained
no more convictions these thoughts remain impure
the act is still the same without your physical involvement
selfish intentions forced upon her purity (lost)
how can you allow her to bleed for you
blinded i must cut myself from this flesh
blinded separate myself from this sin
blinded rise above my shame
blinded this will not triumph over me
5. Religious Infamy
your individual erodes doing saying what you're told
perception of reality is destroyed
blinded submission, consumption with reason, brainwashed, corrupted and controlled
oppressed slaves to your aggression, driven
absolute control is a must
the life you once new imagination victims of one enemy
new is all you know old is forgotten
religious infamy turn away it will set you free
bonded by hate break the chains of your spiritual state
what you seek is the truth in the darkness nothing is pure
once you see what they hide you are the one they truly despise
born again into a life without conformity
innocent lives brought into strife imbed impurity
the planted seeds it's roots will grow in which by means to feed
uplift the roots regain your soul declare your right to live
to fit scripture in the end will be their own demise
false religion i despise new age never fastens it's grip on me
predictions of falsehood wallow in the flames
as you watch your false prophets die
i will never leave my doctrine
the truth shall set you free
fallow unto me there is truth in my deception
false reality truth surfaced need for correction
religious infamy turn away it will set you free
bonded by hate break the chains of your spiritual state
what you seek is the truth in the darkness nothing is pure
once you see what they hide you are the one that they truly despise
6. Strength
Take me up from this world can't you see the hurting inside?
How you allow him, to defile my person
Invite infelicity and this world it tries to weaken my faith
But you are my strength in this world of ignorance
Blinded by sin I question your motives
Leaving myself to abhorrent ways
This devil is beaten I decollate your servants
Sword of the Spirit
I will defy you
Lord you are so faithful with me everyday
Your heart forever graceful assurance of victory
in my heart and should no dominion
The path that Christ walked I choose to live
Death is swallowed up in victory
My faith in God
I will not shudder
I choose to walk the way that Christ did
Lord you are so faithful with me everyday
Your heart forever graceful assurance of victory
7. Golgotha
Crucifixion
Up on the cross dying for sins fulfilling prophecy
Beaten for His faith praying for enemies upon sacrifice
Forsaken in the eyes of God sins of man to Him were taken
Innocent and blameless death without purity
Place of the skull golgotha death of the Son
Descend into misery His death to bring us life
Covered in the Blood supreme sacrifice bridging the gap
Between God and man
Flesh torn, humility
Blood flows purely from the Cross of Calvary
Defying death rose from the grave to show it is finished
To show all before the ascension to empyrean
atoning is the Blood of Jesus Christ
Give in to Him live in the Blood of Christ
He rose, He rose, He rose, He rose, He rose
Resurrection
8. Carnival Chail
Prey your eyes from the deformity God make them see
Laughter ringing in my head God make them see
I am not weak (if our spirits were meant to walk)
I am not weak (which one of you would take this chair)
You wouldn't
Why do you keep staring at me?
Your judgement is hurting
Whispering your condemnation
Accept me, God made me
Tearing me down must build you up
I don't think so, I don't think so
I will walk again hand in hand with my Father
Look at me, look at me through these eyes
I can see, I can see you staring at me
With a heart not willing to understand
Carousel is me beneath your feet frowned upon
I am the show I am the game so come and play
With my emotions guilt ridden conscience
Receive your prize guilt ridden conscience
Quiet stay quiet
Carousel is me beneath your feet frowned upon
I am the show I am the game so come and play
With my emotions guilt ridden conscience
Receive your prize guilt ridden conscience
9. Embrace
I am left here my memories are haunting my every thought
I see her frail womb stripped of its innocence
The measure of judgment I long to carry out
I feel so helpless
Not my will but yours God
I can hear you laughing, your perspective comments
Disrespecting my love, disrespecting my love, disrespecting my love
Headlines read victim of rape found this morning no life in her
Is this happening? Is this happening? Is it her? No God, No God
Your thoughts become reality
Your actions unbelievable
I wish I was there to help her
My love pours out for her
My love pours out for her
My love pours out for her
My love pours out for her
On my knees here I lay for you God build within my strength
Take this cup from me God I cannot bear it
Transform my hatred into your love
Why must I love them because you loved them God
I embrace you (her) I embrace them
Unsilence my forgiveness through the word I can clearly see
You love them as you love me
Why can't i see?
