2. Blood World
Hatred wasting mankind
Racism, black and white
Kill your neighbour, what do you care
He is worthless scum
Open your eyes, see the truth
We are all of dust
[CHORUS]
Blood world, the blood of life
Who will care, who will unite
Blood world, the blood of Christ
All men are equal in his sight
Loneliness destroying lives
Rejected, hated, despised
Kill your neighbour, what do you care
He was born to be lost
A hated man, scorn of your laugh
Seeing yourself first
[CHORUS]
Care, share, be fair, be aware
Christ uniting mankind
Equal black and white
Love your neighbour as yourself
You are your brother's keeper
Open your eyes, see the truth
Hatred is a killer!
[CHORUS]
Care, share, be fair, be aware
3. Starlight
CHORUS
Starlight - starbright
Show me the light
Starlight - starbright
Show me the light
I confess that sometimes
I question how things are
I ask myself if I gaze into the starlight
I know that I will be alright.
But loved ones and friends
I pray will be there too
Life is short - am I aging
When I know I'm still learning
Questions formed - and the answers
There's no mystery
Cause I know the purpose of life
CHORUS
CHORUS
Murder, lies, deceit
I will follow none of these
Oppressed and consumed
But still my life is free
Life on earth calls for strength
Respect and courage I must build within
Eloi - dawn on me
The dawn of eternity
Eloi - dawn on me
The dawn of eternity
4. Your Life
I see your life
You're going nowhere
I see your life
Are you in despair
Fear comes in the night
Afraid of what comes next
What is this life, what is this mess
[BRIDGE]
My mispent, recompense
What is hope My despair
Don't want to raise raise my head
Sleep engulfs my pain
What is my release, purpose for this flesh
[BRIDGE]
Drugged and lost I come
I hear the music play
They speak my release
The new born life
[BRIDGE]
Hope kills my pain - what is this change
God has come to me, life infills my veins
My new life, I repeat
This is hope, my new way
I see your life
You're going somewhere
I see your life
You're mind is in His hands
5. Monks Of The High Lord
We are the order of grinding silence
Leaving the peace as the music subsides
Again impacting with brutal sonics
He will expel the evil of darkness
[CHORUS]
Essence of silence
Monks of the high Lord
Essence of noise
Monks of the high Lord
Feeling cold from a menacing absence
I'm surrounded by a constant noise
I remember my true religion
I adjourn to your peace in the mist
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
I see, the beauty and beast
I feel, your power and beat
I know there is a way
Show me, grinding silence
So many people
Caught in a world of noise
Open your mind and see the sound of the quiet
Live in the grinding silence
A life of sheer extremes
Noise and quiet, life, Lord peace
What do you worship
Don't worship gods of wood and steel
[BRIDGE]
Finding solace in the light of your word
Breeding life in the heast of silence
Humming a tune of orchestral essence
Meeting with you in the still of creation
6. Symbiosis
Bipatrisan joining
Synergy essential
For the purpose of symbiosis
When opposites merge
Mutual benefits emerge
If symbiosis is threatened
Either may loose control
The grafting of the branches
Through the vows of marriage
Interdependance relies
On the covenant of trust
CHORUS
Synapse a wondrous gift of God's creation
Synchronous biogenisis the seed of expression
Synapse a wondrous gift of God's creation
Synchronous biogenisis the seed of expression
Under a symposium
Syllogistic settlements
Banish the tear away
Systole rising
CHORUS
7. Love Song
Thinking about my life so far
Wondering what will be
I need a life that sets my spirit free
So many choises in the world today
How will I survive
So many people let their spirits die
Living within your guidence
Your ways help me survive
When my mind is with you I'm alive
You are the life within me
Resisting the ways of hate
I pledge to you resistance will never die
Love song
This is it
Don't be consumed by the moment eternal life denied
You cannot fill the void without the fire
Wanting to see the world today
Striving for the prize
Second best is not what you desire
Love song
This is it
Love song
This is it
8. Live By The Sword
You must read your swords daily - always
Many choises - versions of the word
NEW CENTURY
NKJ
NIV
KJV
LIVING
AMERICAN STANDARD
or GOOD NEWS
Live by the sword
Die by the sword
Live by the sword
Die by the sword
9. J.G.S.H.
Jesus grind satans head
J.G.S.H.
Jesus grind satans head
Jesus grind satans head
his head is dead
his head is dead
his head is dead
his head is dead
10. Dark Allusions
Gore
What for
Macabre
Wastelands
Sicknesses are rising from the underground
One man's massacre for one's entertainment
Some may put their ratings on the television
But you cannot censor the imagination
[CHORUS]
Suffering for fantasy
Keeps me wondering if we'll ever see
A sound mind for reality
To discern our dark allusions from insanity
Gore - what for
Macabre - wastelands in your soul
Images of torture te replace the pain
Many can't control promiscuity
Fade away the youth - innocence decays
The dark fruits of sin - mocking undertones
[CHORUS]
