1. The Last Creed
Like dust in the wind
A man's heart goes unseen
His labors forgotten at the threshold of time
The grass withers, the flowers fades
But the word of his testimony stands forever
The man's honor was his love
Faithfullness - his pledge
But his memory - a pearl to the swine
One man walked tall
Faced the devil with his back against the wall
To the ground, the blood ran off his fingers
Scorched from fire in his bones
Yet today, his last thought lingers
Around his neck, against his heart
He wore a silver cross
- He knew what freedom cost
His voice only an echo in the wind
Freed those golden shackles
A child of time no more
A mirror of the crimson thorn
That the man of sorrow wore
He gave unselfishly
"Loved not his life so much
As to shrink from death"
The devil stole his life, love
But not the hope of his soul
If he'd only died in her arms
His dream would have been complete
Yet can such love dwell in a man
If God is his witness, I know it can
Would you plant the seed
Of that martyr's last creed
Proclaim God's gospel
Raise your head, heed his hope
Did You stand by the week
Whom the angels serve
Will you dare to hold
A martyrs hand
And guide the unseen host
Who with him stand
Will you share that vision at death's door
Stand proud by his side
To serve the Lord
2. You Maintain
ou maintain that I am dead
You neglect the words I said
You maintain there's no Divinity
You have chosen an ideology
That has left you blind
You maintain there is no evidence
To prove that I'm behind your existence
You maintain there is no truth in Me
You avoid the possibility
That I gave you life
You cannot see that
I sustain everything
I am the origin
I am the author of life
I'm your creator
Surely you think you know what's best
But your mind just won't give you rest
Your heart is filled with hopelessness
By reason of your emptiness
You're in need of love
You must belive that
I sustain everything
I am the origin
I am the author of life
I'm your creator
Blinded by pride
You shut Me outside
You could be free
If you would just listen to Me
Your void can be filled with My love
A love I proved through Jesus Christ My Son
He died so that you could be set free
And understand what life is meant to be
Truth can be revealed
Then you'll see that
I sustain everything
I am the origin
I am the author of life
I'm your creator
3. Coming of the Dawn (instrumental)
4. Assention
5. True Wisdom
6. No One
7. Mercy Lord
Be gracious to me o God
In Thy true love
In the fullness of Thy mercy
Blot out my misdeeds
Create in me a pure heart o God
Give me a new and steadfast spirit
Do not drive me from Thy presence
Or take Thy Holy Spirit from me
Against Thee I have sinned
And done what displeases Thee
Thou hast hidden the truth in darkness
Through this mystery Thou teach me
Create in me a pure heart o God
Give me a new and steadfast spirit
Do not drive me from Thy presence
Or take Thy Holy Spirit from me
8. Thoughts
Living inside restless and wild
Using your mind just like you’re blind
Imagination hallucination
Distortion of the soul
Leaving you out cold
Nowhere to run there’s no more fun
See no solution to your confusion
Don’t stay too long
You’ll never know what’s wrong
Open up wide let God inside
9. Inmost Fear
Never to feel nothing too real
The place of doom this empty room
Look inside the brain
The unconscious chain
All the time awaiting
Creatures my soul are taking
Who can break these chains
Only death remains
The inmost fear it’s all so near
The evil within stored by sin
The dark side forsaken
Ready to be awakened
In my darkest hour
I can feel the power
Running through my vein
Driving me insane
Where am I to go
Still inside my soul
Reaching out from within
Who can forgive my sin
If I could reach the door
All this pain no more
No more...
10. Vicious Intent
Delightfully receiving the evil praise
He has blackened their eyes for them only
To see his pathetic and wicked ways
His only purpose is destruction and death
Vicious intent
Extreme hatred towards the serpent
He is sly and polluting the young minds
Laughing when he sees confusion and fear
Vicious intent
Suffering in bondage
Dying Spirit
But still denying the bloodshed that was made to mankind
Break the deal
You have made with evil
Crush the chains that will bind you eternally
Impossible by your own strength
The Love from God will set you free
Vicious Intent
11. Christianity Misunderstood
Christianity misunderstood
God misunderstood
Religious Christianity
Is what you condemn
So don't blame God
For this miserable world
Christianity misunderstood
God misunderstood
Religion, rules
Unachievable goals
Religion a theory
Have you met God
Christianity misunderstood
God misunderstood
God is Love
God is the Truth
12. Seek the Righteous
