1. Never
What’s it worth, what is the cost, sell myself, integrity lost.
Keeping up with the trends, changing styles, it never ends.
I was this but now I am that.
Never me, deny my past.
Selling out to the crowds,circle goes around and around to sellout, SELLOUT
In the Land of Never (2x)
Looking back on what was, then apologize to you my friend.
Look at me, I’m the focus.
Integrity is not for us.
Sell more units to please the suits.
Fill their pockets, forget the Truth.
No matter what be on the charts.
What’s it worth and what is the cost to sellout,
SELLOUT
In the Land of Never (2x)
For a price go to the top, SELLOUT
In the Land of Never, Never

Selling out to the crowds, circle goes around and around to
sellout, SELLOUT.
In the Land of Never (2x)
For a price go to the top, SELLOUT
In the Land of Never, NEVER!
2. Mortal Stomp
How we do groan to be released from the confines of earthly mortality.
To live is Christ to die is gain.
We will be free from this earthly frame.
Lord how we long to meet you in the air.
The dead shall rise first, the living, death shall spare.
Eternally changed, these cloths shall be shed Mortal Stomp, the resurrection of the dead.
Instantly changed to incorruption.
Those who reject Him will taste separation.
The ground it shall open (and) awaken those who sleep.
The Earth in birth pains shall give up her deceased.
Spirit and body will be reunited.
Death has lost it's sting, the grave its victory.
Eternally changed, these cloths shall be shed, Mortal Stomp, the resurrection of the dead.
Death, Separation, Life, Resurrection. (2x)
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! (3x)
We shall not sleep, but we shall be changed.
In a moment the last trump shall sound.
No more sickness and no more tears, no more pain and no more fears.
This hope we hold will soon come to pass.
Thanks be to God for the victory at last!
Eternally changed, these cloths shall be shed,
Mortal Stomp, the resurrection of the dead.
Death, Separation, Life, Resurrection. (2x)
Solo-Steve
How we do groan to be released from the confines of earthly mortality.

Lord how we long to meet you in the air.
The dead shall rise first, the living, death shall spare.
Eternally changed, these cloths shall be shed.
Mortal Stomp, the resurrection of the dead.
Death, Separation, Life, Resurrection. (2x) STOMP!
3. Scorn
Acidic words and words of hate
"Can’t save himself, what a waste!"
Salt of scorn on open wounds hurled at Christ before the tomb.
Verbal stones increase the pain, words pound the nails deep in his veins.
What kind of person would mock the man on his death bed, blood stained hands.
Forgiving words and words of life.
Paint on the canvas of sacrifice.
A prayer of forgiveness he said for me,
while his blood spilled out to set us free.
Broke his body, couldn’t kill his soul.
"Into you hands I let my spirit go."
Three days later he rose again.
Christ resurrected from the dead!
Mocked Whipped Scorn Death
Solo-Robert
In his pain no anger did he vent.
This is why he came, why he was sent,
to give his life on Calvary to save a little wretch like me.
Broke his body, couldn’t kill his soul.
"Into you hands I let my spirit go."
Three days later he rose again.
Christ resurrected from the dead!
Mocked Whipped Scorn Death
4. Puppet Of Destruction
Death is all you know, in your life it shows,
you mock the cross and all who believe in it.
Darkness is all you bring.
It’s a melody of evil to me.
Singing of death and destruction
Profit from the blood of the lost.
That is your desire.
Think that Hell is all fun and games.
Satan grips your soul, your life he will own.
Our God will not be mocked!
Blind eyes aren’t open
Lost without a purpose
Writing songs of hopelessness (2x)
Puppet of Destruction
Solo-Robert
Why can’t you see your a puppet on a string.
Satan pulls the strings and you follow him.
What will you do when he turns his back on you
and the ones you think you control now control you.
Blind eyes aren’t open
Lost without a purpose
Writing songs of hopelessness (2x)
Puppet of Destruction
5. Gutterbox
Killer, killer, I know where you live.
Action on the big screen.
Vile, thriller, how much would you give
to see blood spill on the TV.
Torture, torture, blood curdling scream.
Hear it in stereo.
Creepy, wicked, pulls out his knife.
We do it all for show.
Gutterbox! Do you think for your-
self or follow the box of deceit.
BRAINDEAD! Can’t believe all you see.
A nation of lost sheep.
Gutterbox! Garbage in garbage out,
that trash corrodes your mind.
BRAINDEAD! Open up your eyes
before it robs you blind.
Solo-Steve
Racist, racist, burning a cross,
what a killer show.
Rapist, rapist, stalking his prey.
How far will we go.
Murder, murder, desensitize,
over and over again.
Twisting, warping, led to believe,
that your thoughts are your own.
Gutterbox! Do you think for your-
self or follow the box of deceit.
BRAINDEAD! Can’t believe all you see.
A nation of lost sheep.
Gutterbox! Garbage in garbage out, that trash corrodes your mind.
BRAINDEAD! Open up your eyes
before it robs you blind.
6. Repentance
Rape the world of morality, desecrate our land.
Obliterate a society.
It’s gotten out of hand.
Sodomy a way of life, flaunted on TV.
Learning nothing from our past.
A blind eye just can’t see.
Prime time stars are criminals, gaining the spot light.
Murderous philosophy.
Innocent victimized.
Lyrics fueled by all that’s vile, sewing seeds of hate.
Denying responsibility, our world has gone insane.
HEY!
Repentance, forgiveness for the land
Repentance, His coming is at hand
Repentance, forgiveness in our land
Repentance, His judgment we will stand
Rape the world of morality, desecrate our land.
Obliterate a society.
It’s gotten out of hand.
In God we trust, our nation’s creed.
Repentance essential here.
Seeds we sow will reap a harvest.
The time is getting near.
Repentance, forgiveness for the land
Repentance, His coming is at hand
Repentance, forgiveness in our land
Repentance, His judgment we will stand
7. World Of Sin
Destroy the body in a cruel word,
pierce the flesh of the One who saved your soul.
With a word, utter annihilation, in a breath bring total destruction.
We are Christ’s body here on the earth,
strike only one the whole body feels the pain.
We are not separate but together in unity.
Christ our uniter, together let's praise His name.
PRAISE HIS NAME! World! Of! Sin! (3x)
The tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity.
Uncontrolled words, poison running free.
Out of our mouth, a blessing and a curse.
It’s shameful pride, this just should not be.
With our words, we are justified, with a word your soul will not die.
Salvation is attained when you call upon the name of Jesus Christ,
I AM, He’s still the same.
World! Of! Sin! (3x)
The tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity.
Uncontrolled words, poison running free.
Diversity without unity is anarchy.
Love for our neighbors that's how it ought to be.
World! Of! Sin! (3x)
8. Crosshope
Hanging from the cross the greatest claim of man,
a carpenter who is God in the form of man.
We’ve turned it upside down, burned and mocked it too.
Can’t deny it or prove that you’re a fool.
History revolves around this one event.
One man changed the world, killed for our sins.
You can’t ignore the lumber that suspends the greatest truth,
wood splintered by the nails that split the flesh in two.
Hang it from our necks without a thought of why.
Vicious form of slaughter, innocence on trial.
It’s tragedy attracts the sufferers and the shamed,
it’s hope pulls in the searchers, the sick and the lame.
The cross the center point on which our faith must rest.
Christ crucified and risen, the firstfruits from the dead.
You can’t ignore the lumber that suspends the greatest truth,
wood splintered by the nails that split the flesh in two.
Cross Hope Cross Hope
From death comes life
Hanging from the cross the greatest claim of man,
a carpenter who is God in the form of man.
We’ve turned it upside down, burned and mocked it too.
Can’t deny it or prove that you’re a fool.
History revolves around this one event.
One man changed the world, killed for our sins.
You can’t ignore the lumber that suspends the greatest truth,
wood splintered by the nails that split the flesh in two.
Cross Hope Cross Hope
From death comes life
9. Conform To Reality
We live in a world that’s topsy-turvy.
Conscious seared and dead. Disintegration of morality.
Politically correct instead.
Conformity, Conformity,
Conform to reality, Conformity, Conformity,
A standard there must be
Absolute truth a total mystery
What’s it matter anyway,
when told that life is but an accident,
all thread of hope will fray.
Conformity, Conformity,
Conform to reality, Conformity, Conformity,
A standard there must be
Truth is not relative, it’s defined by
God. If truth is not always the truth,
foundations will crumble.
Commands are given for our good, not to suppress your life.
Without ‘em we live in total chaos,
time will prove me right.
Conformity, Conformity,
Conform to reality,
Conformity, Conformity,
A standard there must be! (2x)
10. Charged / Power
In search for power no answer you will find when searching in darkness, feeling around blind.
Demon powers willing to let you think you rule till that fatal day when they will rule you.
Strength of steel is fleeting no power in that scene.
Humanity is weak why don’t you just believe,
for none can stand the power of Almighty God,
He will stand before you rule with iron rod.
Upholds the universe by his word of power,
All will face his glory, the unrighteous they will cower.
Stand before Him naked and stripped of all your pride.
Ashamed of your wrong doing and who’ll be by your side.
POWER in Almighty God
POWER in eternal life
POWER in the Word of God
POWER in the blood of Christ (2x)
(Repeat Chorus)
In search for power no answer you will find.
When searching in darkness, feeling around blind.
Demon powers willing to let you think you rule,
till that fatal day when they will rule you.
Life is but a vapor a speck of dust in time.
When this life is over where’s your power now.
The Lord who’s Lord of All is not willing any perish.
There’s power in the blood to wash and make your righteous.
POWER in Almighty God
POWER in eternal life
POWER in the Word of God
POWER in the blood of Christ (2x)
