1. Away From God
2. Towards Earth
3. Christ's Cage
1. Away From God
Many times I've keeled before the lord not knowing he was at my feet
Why my pain, why my tears
Only now to see you were just man
You sit and watch, in all your splendor
On creator, it's you I now renounce
Everloving God, your love has failed me
I don't need your love...
Jesus, you couldn't save me
You couldn't save them
You couldn't save the world from misery
Hate my sin, Love my pain
You made us suffer, to your delight
To feel your anguish, will be my strength
Your broken kingdom, shall fall below
Once a time when I yearned to be at one with the Lord
Cheated by your false claims of divinity
I defy your word and rise in your disdain
to revoke you of your dominion
I am the darkness of the world
You couldn't save me
You couldn't save the them
You couldn't save the world from misery
Savior and Healer
The water you walked is drowning me
With glimpses of the highest reward
And the depths of the overwhelming promise
I confront him, the heavens before me
God fleeing, his presence swept away
2. Towards Earth
Death He Lied!
To the most high, above all
They cower in his might
But now, in his nakedness and shame
He falls...
Fallen King... to endure
Ceaseless pain...world is dead
Mighty God..pulling down
The heavens divide, revealing a light
From out of the sky, their savior appears
The figure adorned in wonder and brilliance
Plummeting down, falling to earth
In horror they watch, it was all just a lie. As light turns to black, devours their hope... and faith.
Mighty God...pulling down
Casting down... everything high
and bringing you... towards earth
Cold darkness, swallows life
Heavens promise, stolen light
Now to suffer with their fallen Christ
Blood to dust, flesh to dirt
To the earth, they lie
Light of God, never seen
To the most high, from below
They cower in his might
But now in triumphant glory
Rejoice the fall of God
Towards Earth
Might God...pulling down
Casting down...everything high
And bringing you...towards earth
Mighty God...consume the light
Casting down...your pathetic Christ
And bringing them...towards Hell
3. Christ's Cage
Captives of faith,
His image never fading from their eyes
Imprisoned by their own creation
It grows stronger, distorts and confines
Behind the gates, the worshipped oppressor
To which weak minds fall
To a God in a godless world
Obeying him...serving him
The golden gates, only surrounding him
Crushed by the weight of devotion through the hails of a dying trinity
Within these bars they'll wait an eternity
For the coming of a dead messiah
In passion they adore, embodied with lies
Tempted by the world, carry out their lives
As they press against the bars, steel upon their flesh
Possessed by the one they call lord.
They'll live and die within his cage
His followers locked in steel
Christ's Cage Christ
Where they leave their sin
Where they worship him
They see more than what he is
In his cage they are his slaves
Empty and silent...barren his kingdom
He will perish...alone in heaven
Gates of gold, now his cage
Christ's Cage Christ
