1. In the Midst of Persecution
I call on you, oh God,
For you will answer me
Give ear to me and hear my prayer
Keep me as the apple of your eye
Hide me in the shadow of your wings
From the wicked who assail me
From my mortal enemies who surround me
They close up their callous hearts
And their mouth speaks with arrogance
They are like a lion hungry for prey
Like a great lion crouching in cover
Their throats are open graves
Their tongues practise deceit
The poison of vipers is on their lips
Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness
Give me a sign of your goodness
That my enemies may see it and be put to shame
Let them be caught in their pride
For the curses and lies they utter
The way of peace they do not know
There is no fear of God before their eyes
O Lord, by your hand save me from such men
Of this world whose reward is in this life
They are like a lion hungry for prey
Like a great lion crouching in cover
Their throats are open graves
Their tongues practise deceit
The poison of vipers is on their lips
Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness
But I - in righteousness I shall see your face
When I awake, I shall be satisfied with seeing your likeness
Their throats are open graves
Their tongues practise deceit
The poison of vipers is on their lips
Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness
2. Circus of Flesh
Souls caught in awe, to watch the splendeour of the world
Even the chosen fall before the glory of Babylon
The demand of the eye and the lust of the flesh
All will be found in the path of temptation
Souls wandering in slavery, running after vanity
Enslaved to sin and pleasures, in the circus of flesh
Blindfolded eyes unable to see behind reality
Bound in the needs of the material sanctuary
Both rich and poor bow before the golden image
Too numb to hear the call to redemption
Souls wandering in slavery, running after vanity
Enslaved to sin and pleasures, in the circus of flesh
Without questioning following the master plan
No will to escape the carnival
Beneath the splendeour awaits the rotting grave
The cup of demons, slaughter of your soul
The circus of flesh
All enjoyment available
Experience the pleasure
Join into depravity
The circus of flesh
All hell is awaiting
For your sudden arrival
Experience - the awake in Hell
3. Demons' Quest
From the depths of the most dark
Rising abominations leave their mark
To the fragile human mind
Misguided like an innocent child
In ignorance they walk in darkness
Like animals destined to mindlessness
Mocking ancients about what they knew
Still unaware of the ones who control
Blinded by what can't be known
To basic instincts their lives are thrown
Trusting in the hollow shells of flesh
Blindly following the demons' quest
To Hell
Provoking the truth by their acts
Declaring primitive lies as facts
Their generation under submission
Slaves to demonic manipulation
In the shadows lurk their inmost fears
Evil oppression bringing out the tears
Some wake to see beyond the illusion
Condemned in schizophrenic delusion
Blinded by what can't be known
To basic instincts their lives are thrown
Trusting in the hollow shells of flesh
Blindly following the demons' quest
Behind the darkness there is a call
If you do not answer you will fall
Caught in the trap for eternity
Unless you seek salvation from the Trinity
Son of God - Salvation
Escape - Deception
Open my eyes - To see
Jesus Christ - Set me free
Blinded by what can't be known
To basic instincts their lives are thrown
Trusting in the hollow shells of flesh
Blindly following the demons' quest
To Hell
4. Son of God
On the cross a human shape lost its form, blood and mockers' laughter
Pain and blood-thirsty viewers, bruises and evil words
An innocent man dying slowly and painfully as people watch and despise
Betrayed by a friend, He is left to die
The Son of God
Who has come to take the sins of the world
He was crucified
For all our sins and iniquities, like a lamb led to be slaughtered
He was in the world, and the world was made by Him,
And the world knew Him not
Persecuted and defamed like a malefactor
Cursed for the goodness of His acts
Finally sentenced to the uttermost death
No one knew what this man was intented to do
The Son of God
Who has come to take the sins of the world
He was crucified
For all our sins and iniquities, like a lamb led to be slaughtered
Left to die
That we may gain eternal life
Abandoned
A man of sorrows and suffering, rejected by all
He was in the world, and the world was made by Him,
And the world knew Him not
