1. Metal Blessing
The church of steel,
Standing for God,
Preaching the word
The way of faith,
Breaking the death.
Never afraid.
Metal blessing, blessing
Metal blessing, blessing
Metallic Faith,
Rising in ways,
Not to be beat.
His way of iron,
Searching for wisdom
Gaining his favour
Satan stalking,
Hates the faithful,
Church still standing, in the fight
Steel of thunder, in our footsteps,
As we stamp out, hate from earth
Pounding the walls,
Heeding the call,
Boldly wrought.
Armour of steel,
Quenching the darts, of the evil
2. Access Denied
Fold your hands, fold your hands,
Drop the past
Access denied, success defiled
Fold your hands, fold your hands,
Drop the past, time for change,
Different stage, a new level.
Night falls on your heart
Fold your hands, fold your hands
Raise your eyes, time has come,
Now it's done, raise your eyes
Access, new ground,
Confess, you're found
Light force on your heart
3. Hardware
Hardware, tools we need to build new life
Hardware, rusted veins need revive
Hardware, holes in our mind of pain
Hardware, the word of life in our brain
Just take a walk down the narrow road
Ignore exits, stay on course
The road map leads the way
To life in a brighter day
Nine more hours to a new millennium
Stop on the roadside pray a prayer
Time to reflect on my past life
Drive again to make a new start
Trouble playing on the record player
Somber sounds on a cloudy day
Run to the light they sing with hope
Searching for a brighter day
Tools of the word a timeless help
Milleniums pass, all things change
Like the vinyl on the record player
Old things pass but the hardware stays
4. Bring The Joy
I feel the power burning
Deep down inside my soul
I know the real Jesus
He brings my salvation
Prepare to feel power
As the spirit reveals bring forth truth
Your brain receives
Bring the joy
With the power of sound
Shout it out aloud
Shout it out aloud
On volume ten
I See the world is turning
In all the wrong directions
Now hear the burning sound
Pointing the right way
We won't stop, we won't go
God reveals truth, now it's time
5. Standing At The Door Of Death
I have seen the devil's fires
All around the youth
I have seen the funeral pyres
Too much suicide
Jesus died, blood of christ
Don't heed the lies, of the evil side
Standing at the door of death
I have seen the light of heaven
My eternity
Realise, Christ, paid the price
Don't need to die, without eternal life
6. Whom They Would Kill
Will you greet a stranger
Not of this world
Who finds it strange here
Who's not at home?
Who won't fit in
Who's called a fool
Who lives despised
Whom they would kill?
If you'd place yourself
In his place yourself
You'd find what he's found
Be gone where he's bound
You'd find relief
With your believe
Happy to be strange
You'll be at peace
7. I Am A Revolutionary
Revolution in my mind
In my sleep, in my time
You must be issued with vision
Not too many last this long
Conservative, soul life
Straight way, extremist, revolutionary
Born again christian
I am revolutionary
I'm of the old school
I am a metal missionary
I am a revolutionary
All my life always a fighter
Tried to excel at anything exciting
Knew I had to do something for God
Useless to succeed for self
I could see a rising revolution
What I saw was a mighty stand
White washed and watered down
Time to re-sing the message loud
Come and join the revolution
Jesus Metal throughout the nations
Come and join the mighty stand!
Preach the word, his command
Go to the world and win disciples
You know we don't need the fame
On an image of evil ways
Walking close to the blade
Tolerant only to thruth
We embrace this quote
Has the revolution faded?
Come on all you mighty men
Hold up a brand new flag
Unashamed Jesus bands
Who cares what the world will think
We must witness to help save them
8. Forsake The Flesh
Forsake the flesh
Time to deny the covet
Time to deny the covet
Eating the mind
World full of lust
Where you abide, desire much
Exocise the covet
Learning to control the flesh
Wanting to revive
Health within your spirit
Kill your desire
Kneeling in obedience
Block the sinful side
Covet not your neighbour's wife
Covet not his house
Count your many blessings
Stop and view the stars
Hear the birds whistle
Satisfied with life
Fight the need for greed
Content with self
Balance of faculties
Harmonise your soul
Deny the need for more
Thank God daily
9. Sensitive Nerve Endings
Sensitive nerve endings, endings
Evil on my spine attacking, attacking
The way of hate may break my spine
Grace sufficient in this time
Miracles daily come my way
Patience to wait until today
Thy will be done in my life of pain
I will wait your perfect time
I thank God when I see my life
I can feel my brother's pain
Martyrs die with hands held high
In the west we turn our eyes
Give us your world view of will
I thank God he spared my life
10. The Silver Cord Is Severed
Remember God before the silver cord is severed
Or the golden bowl is broken
Remember your creator
In the days of your youth
Before the days of trouble come
And you find no pleasure in them
When the keepers of the house will tremble
And the strong men will stoop
When the grinders cease because they are few
And the sound of grinding fades
Are you a judge of another man?
Is your life just vanity?
Maybe look where you will stand?
On the day of your death!
Fear God and follow his commands
For this is the duty of man
God will bring every deed of judge
Including any hidden sin
