1. A Touch of Blessing
Climbing walls of an endless circle
Walking paths you never heard of
Struggling in an endless battle
Searching far for a higher purpose
Drowning in betrayal’s river
The freezing cold will make you shiver
Join the world of greater learning
Crown me king and be my servants
Misled by beauty
One you rarely find
So loving and friendly
It’s one of a kind
Their arms wide open
Willing to take me in
No doubts in choosing
A world free from sin
All the dreams I had
All my future wishes
Put aside for a greater journey
All the things I planned
Left my friends so coldly
Put aside for a
Higher…
Misled by beauty
One you rarely find
So loving and friendly
It’s one of a kind
A single army
A united “one”
A touch of blessing
Which cannot be undone
Drowning in betrayal’s river
The freezing cold will make you shiver
Join the world of greater learning
Crown me king and be my servants
All the dreams I had
All my future wishes
Put aside for a greater journey
All the things I planned
Left my friends so coldly
Put aside for a
Higher purpose
2. Ambassador
Show your soul for birth of freedom
Leave the cold to share our vision
Will you follow me
Will you walk with me
We’ll hold your heart if it bleeds
Let me be your hand of guidance
No more solitude
No more independence
If God weeps he weeps through me
And if God hurts it huts in me
I am
Light to cast away shadows
The Spirit, Holy Ghost and even Jesus
God walking earth
Ambassador
Scattering all dark thoughts wandering
I shatter all doubts surfacing
This is my rescue and salvation
Undivided and blessed vision
I am
Light to cast away shadows
The Spirit, Holy Ghost and even Jesus
God walking earth
Ambassador
3. In the Wake of the Weary
So high on believing
No seeing your changing
I carry the weight and I’m weary
We’re wounded severely
Despite of your vision
You claim seeing so clearly
Can’t respect your decision
In the wake of the weary
Your angels are calling
The aim is rewarding
Through ashes and falling
So helpless and withering
We’re wounded severely
Despite of your treason
And a future I’m fearing
I try to run when the walls come down
Try to hide from the feelings I’m fearing but still
(Can’t respect your decision
We’re wounded severely
Should see it so clearly
And I can’t take it no more
A life in a lie where I scream and I cry
But she won’t lie no more)
4. Harmless Wishes
Relentless I’m speechless
I’m fooled by my inner weakness
Enticing inspiring
Your words were so convincing
Delightful but soulless
Claimed harmless wishes seems less
Exciting
Just frightening
No more downing days
Only whispers of darkened ways
Forever falling tears
Forever falling
No more screams in vain
No more dreams put to shame
It’s only me
Only me
Defenseless and smiling
Her innocence is shining
His own flesh and own blood
His words were so convincing
Delightful so beautiful
Can’t stop what he’s been told
She’s three years old
No more downing days
Only whispers of darkened ways
Forever falling tears
Forever falling
No more screams in vain
No more dreams put to shame
It’s only me who’s forever
Falling, sleepwalking, desperate, calling
No more dawning days
Only whispers of darkened ways
Forever falling tears
Lands in the hands of somber fate
No more dawning days
No more screams in vain
No more feeling pain
Forever…
5. Waking Up Blind
Leave the lie you got to find a way
Ask yourself why and give yourself a reason to stay
Leave the lie I am begging in vain
We’re all left to fight with why
You’re not the same
Left behind we are stranded not free
In silence I cry what went wrong was it me
Led to believe in a truth that was false
Truth built on greed and the faith of the weak
Waking up blind and blind you must be
So stupid of me to believe in your hypocrisy
Gave it all up for life in a dream
So foolish of me not to stop your infidelity
Unfaithful…
Unfaithful to life…
6. More Than Ever
Time for a breather let it all sink in
A pause from the deceiver and to reach deep within
I close my eyes if only for a second
To let my courage rise
All I need is one more reason
To fail you as you failed me
Waiting for the waves to break
Hoping for the tide to change
Embracing the awaiting aim
Believing more than ever
Believing more than ever
I’ve tried too many times to leave you
Just as many times as I’ve cried to see you
Every road has its end and my ends here
And so does my faith
Waiting for the waves to break
Hoping for the tide to change
Embracing the awaiting aim
Believing more than ever
Believing more than ever
Believing more than ever
7. The Essence of Conviction
Her gentle hand in his
Revelation serves as bliss
They walk away from sunshine
Led to believe the lie
His lust for untouched youth
A well kept secret sealed
His every night confession
Reveals the most profane obsession
Their trust is won and fate is conquered
The essence of conviction
Why me?
I did no wrong
I did not know
You lied to me
I meant no harm
And I am blaming me
Hand in hand down the altar aisle
Her father’s presence brings her to a smile
A grand welcome from the assembled crowd
Greeted as the “circle’s” first child
Undressed to nothing and held to the sky
Her smile is gone and she starts to cry
Desperately seeking her father’s eyes
But he sees nothing
He’s blind…
Why me?
I did no wrong
I did not know
You lied to me
I meant no harm
And I am blaming me
Why me?
You lied to me…
You lied to me…
8. Where All Good Sleep
In depths so deep I can’t believe
Confusion conquers and frustration wins
Into where light does not touch
This is where pain and sorrow meets
Into denial
Baptized into a liar
Give me the power
Would you
Could you
Caught in a world where angels weep
Where hatred battles greed and frustration wins
Chained to the world where all good sleep
This is where pain and sorrow meets
Into denial
Baptized into a liar
Give me the power
Could you
Would you
I’m doubting still denying
The truth was more than shocking
I’m doubting I’m hiding, hiding
I’m running knowing they’re watching
I’m still in disbelief from what I’ve seen
Where I’m hiding…hiding…
(Hide… Run)
Into denial
Baptized into a liar
Give me the power
Could you
Would you
9. Faith Restored
In a moment of clarity
It all became crystal
And now I try to find someone to heal me
I’m broken
Through the mist in a dream where I show you
Through the rain and the dark that holds you
Heal me, I’m broken
Time to discover what lies hidden in the sand
Time for renewal and to be cleansed by the hand
To heal me relieve me
Heal me
Release me while I’m still breathing
And when it all came to clarity
There was no perfection
Dreams were shattered
Hope was washed away
Through the mist in a dream where I show you
Through the rain and the dark that holds you
Heal me, I’m broken
Time to start over
I’m given a new chance
And time to discover
There were no treasures in the sand
To heal me relieve me
Heal me
Release me while I’m still breathing
10. When the Walls Go Down
Lord, if you don't help me, I can't get through this.
I can't.
Lord, I'm too old for games... foolishness
And I'm tired of rhetoric. Meaningless rhetoric.
It never changes things.
Lord... please help me.
Help me...
I was feeling God's PAIN
and I've never had anything that's been any worth to God
in my 50 years that wasn't born in agony.
Never. Never.
Dead, empty.
And I know that sermons won't do it.
I know that revelation won't do it.
Covenant won't do it.
I know now... Oh my God do I know it.
Until I'm in agony.
Until I have been anguished over it.
I'm preaching sermons... Oh God...
I broke down
and I wept
and I mourned.
Does that matter to you at all?
I can't handle this.
I can barely make it into this.
Little by little you're losing
the love of God...
the love of Christ...
People I know of that were my friends and I see them they go one by one.
Some were my closest friends.
You're changing.
You know what you were.
You're changing.
Little by little something's happening to you.
Would it bring you to your knees?
That's all the Devil wants to do
Get the fight out of you and kill it.
So you won't labor in prayer anymore.
You won't weep before God anymore.
GO TO HELL!
No weeping?
Not a word of prayer?
It's all ruined.
No laughing.
This is life and death.
When the walls go down, and ruin sets in...
Where are the tears?
Where's the mourning?
Where's the confessing?
Love of Christ.. the agony of God's heart...
We have sinned.
