1. Allusions From The Valley Of Darkness
2. From The Valley Of Shadows
"What is truth?", I ask myself
All religions boast absolute truth
But temptation is all that I find
As flesh craves overshadows the emptiness
On through the valley of blindness I roam
As voices whisper in the wind around
Calling me into the darkness beyond
Like the sound of sirens in the distance
CHORUS
From the valley of the shadows
Into the darkness beyond
Feel the calling of pleasures
Overshadow man's emptiness
My guiltiness bleeds internally
Inside tunnels of blocked emotions
The silent screams within my inner being
Bursting forth in desperation
CHORUS
Disillusionment fades
As I change my course
Rejection of pride through repentance
The answer revealed - messeanic deity
The judge paid the sinners debt
CHORUS TWO
From the valley of the shadows
Into the light of Crist
I follow the calling if righteousness
As shadows cringe from the brightness
Peace engulfs me
As I surrender my life
The entwinning of guilt is lifted away
Shadows are scattered by
The Lamb of God
Delivered from the
Abuse of substances
3. Human Condition
VERSE ONE
Wars and famines, A.I.D.S. and broken lives
Drug offenses, damage to bring demise
Bury the dead in their coffins
Mankind is rotting away
Global misconceptions
Lies to steal your life
BRIDGE
Lies, wars, hatred, Antichrist
CHORUS
Human condition
It is no superstition
Human condition
In desperate need of God
VERSE TWO
Privatisation, selling the world away
Abolishing independance
New World Order shall arise
Bury the dead in their coffins
Mankind is rotting away
Cashless world is coming
The beast is on arise
BRIDGE
CHORUS
VERSE THREE
One will rise with false hope
Seeming to solve the crisis
The man of sin, the Antichrist
Bringing the lies of death
Bury the dead in their coffins
Mankind is rotting away
Look in the Bible for answers
Don't accept the false demise
BRIDGE
CHORUS

Hideous onslaught attacks the mind
Vicious intent prevails

Guard your heart, bow before God
Sack cloth and ashes repentance
Radical conversion, zeal of love
Put faith in actions

This life, no fantasy
New ways, reality
Always growing, never fading
Hope increasing, peace astounding
Always knowing, never falling
My salvation, making me

CHORUS
MUSICAL BRIDGE
7. Pride Sanitarium
8. Overseer
A compassionate God
Looks down upon the earth
As the void in man's heart grows wide
Empty human grabs at the air around
As fashions drift along through life
Chasing the wind
The emptiness will never be satisfied
While pleasure warms the dullness inside
Restoration groans for fulfillment
Within the captivity of pride
CHORUS
Overseer, creation testifies
As pride of man holds
Back the helpless cries
Drawing near with arms
Stretched open wide
Inviting forgiveness in its place
Inside
Instinct persuades the will
Men like animals respond
To the calling of desire
Ignorant of the creator
May God subject them all
Our to labour on their own
When human strength fails
Then they'll call upon the Lord
Yet in God's great compassion
He floods His grace upon our soul
Mankind chooses helplessness
As pride holds back the cries
And outwardly denies it
As he closes up inside
CHORUS
I cry out to the Lord in my distress
He takes away the chains
That bind my soul
Let us give thank for His
Unfailing word
For He sets us free
CHORUS
9. This Momentary Affliction
Crush this momentary pain (5x)
10. Flight Of Victory
11. Impulsation
Impulsation, smash and grab world
Impulsation, live fast, die young
You'll not find, real satisfaction
You'll find emptiness, fake gratification
Impulsation, patience never learned
Impulsation, satisfaction now
Can't you see, this won't last
lasting peace comes from Christ.
You'll find self-control
if you find salvation
Blood and the fire
purge your mind
Ultimate satisfaction
Beal peace
Lasting joy
comes through Jesus
White wash
your mind
Find your release.
Bludgeon to death, lust in your life
Consecrate to live right
Manifest the grace of God
Supplicate prayer and live
LOVE
Impulsation, it's not cool
Impulsation, you could dile.
Can't you see people dying
Everyday aids and drug addictions.

Drowned in the water of the spirit
Till it follows from our gasp
Engulfed, it takes our breath
Till every word flows with life

Liquid assets
Liquid assets
Vital fluids

Aquatic regurgitation
Cannot hold it in
We are full of health
Can't get too much of this good thing
CHORUS
BRIDGE
If anyone is thirsty
Come to Christ and drink
Whoever believes in Christ
Living water flows from him
VERSE THREE
Everyone who drinks water
Will be thirsty again
Drink the water of life
Welled up streams for eternity

BRIDGE
