1. Undeceived
The Result of a failure
Genetic error
A system out of control
Creative energy
Transformed into hatred
A twisted perception of truth
Mankind breeds mortality
Sickness passes on through generations
The effect shows through genocide
Malfunctioning minds
A bite of the fruit
Termination activated
This creation once destined for success
Now violated and raped by one
Given access to the heartland
Evil dominion over their spirits
Divorced from it's creator
Crying out
2. Inferno
She lies in her bed staring into nowhere
Tears running down her face
An open wound bleeding
Her body turns pale
Recalling the road leading away from right
As the dark had appeared as light
Tricked to cross the line, dragged further in
Then trapped in a swirl of lies
Now, no sign of light, no sign of hope
As a dark shadow enters her room
A freezing chill runs down her spine
The presence of death fills the room
The shadows encircles her, pale of fear
slowly draining the last drops of life
Her last strength she forces through
and crys out to the Lord she used to know
Overwhelming light annihilates the dark
Immediate rest fills her heart
My dear child, come to Me
I will restore you and embrace you with My love
3. Time Stands Still
Temptation (x2)
Time stands still
The whisper in my ear
The spirit within
A struggle destined to fail
Infested thoughts
Spirit contracts
Lust dominates
Fallen once again
Frustration accumulates
Anger twards the fraud of the world
Anger twards the lack of self control
Condemnation, immediate repentance
How much can You take?
The disappointment of my deceit
Pain
Disobedience to Your will
Of my weaknesses I'm desperetely aware
Do I even dare
To repent again?
Why (would you) endure the pain?
Prisoner of filthy chains
Unclean, unclean
Help me God
Set me free
4. Ember
There is a fire to light a sleeping heart
A wish to see the spirit take control
Crush the chains that hold you down
And let yourself be filled with fire
Wake up and realize the dream you've lived
Was set up by the liar
A broken heart, a kneeling soul
The Spirit will set you on fire
To give you strength to reach the ones
Who search the truth with a deep desire
Crucifiction of the ego
Death and Burial of the old
Crush the chains that hold you doen
And let yourself be fillled with fire
A broken heart, a kneeling soul
The spirit will set you on fire
There is no spiritual authority
Outside obediance to God
A broken heart is needed to reach this state
Divine encounter with the living God
5. Meadows of Silence
6. Shelter
I close my eyes
It's not the picture of You I see
The impression, the site, the thoughts
Are stuck into my head
My vision is blurred
I can't see clearly
I can't hear your voice
It's all disturbing my peace of mind
Something inside tearing me apart
Trusting myself to find the way out
Leading me just deaper into
A well of confusion and mourning
There is nothing else for me to do
but to put my hope and trust in You
I know You will lead me through
When my eyes are focused on You
Let me dwell in Your shelter
Let me live in Your shadow
Free me from these destroying plagues
7. A Structure of Souls
A fusion is conceived / Through a synchronizing Faith
Exposing forces unseen
This is the embodiment of Love
Growing the image of a man appears
His limbs are injected with power
The heart of his mission is peace / And deliverance
Stonger, his body increases with strength
Absorbing a Godly nourishment
The members work is one accord / Reaching the fullness of man
A structure of Soles / Bounded by one Spirit
A union of hearts / Saved by the same spirit
We are the members of / The body of the Son
We are the Church of Christ
Freedom is to be our destiny / Due to the eternal grace
That comes from the Author of life / The one and only God
8. Of Light and Shade
Indifference surrounds me / yet my heart is secure
The shadows grow stronger / yet my spirit is protected
Observing the extreme absurdities
Still my heart can't be moved
I can rest in the loser's haunt
For the Victorious has filled the void inside
I can wander by the source of hell
For the Lord of all lives in me
In these circumstances I dwell
Thank God, In Him I am not a part of this
My inspiration, Giver of Life
I want to shine, radiate Your presence
I want to show them the warmth of truth
That You showed me
So they can understand
Who You are and why I worship You
Even if my life should end / In the valley of the shadows
My spirit will exist in a new dimension
Forever with Him, my Father
9. Where Sleep is Rest
10. Renewal
I can hear a signal from the center of my soul
Ignite the impulse of life
Make a change of patterns in the
Landscape of the inner man
Obtaining a new perspective on life
Discovering a new dimension of Freedom
Renewal
A penetrating power claims dominion in my being
Leaving the old man to die
The presence of a spirit is reflected
By the wave of change
Recharging power / Receiving strength
Renewal of mind and soul
I have established contact
With a higher form of intelligence
Giving me wisdom and insight
A complete restoration of my spirit
A revelation of the truth
Effects the way I'm thinking
I am part of Your plan
I will let Your Spirit move inside me
Like a Breath of Life
I send out a message to the souls still searching
Invite the Maker of Life
Let Him be the guidance to
Complete your life in every way
11. Abandoned
12. And I Watch
And I watch how your big words
Return with an echo of emptiness
Inside your walls of fear
Feeding the insecurity
And I watch as your soul
Swallow the blackest lie
Resurrection rejected
Denial of afterlife
Symptoms of a blind man
To comprehend the insanity
Of this grand illusion
Is unbearable
The spirit that fears the Blood
Can never bring truth
Fallen with the snake
Never to rule
And I watch you return to your folly
As a dog returns to it's vomit
The choice has been made
Abandoning the call of freedom
