1. You Can't Stop It
From the dust, where you've come from to the dust you will return
From there to the judgement seat, enter the kingdom, or to burn
This is not some story line, from Greek mythology
As deceptive hypocrite fallen angels, would have you to believe
We have the fact's, in light that truly darkness has descended
Ignorant shallow, no scholarship, a ship that's sunk and yet defended
I just don't understand the point, they mock, yet it's they who are in deep water
While drowning in the act, death with a proud face, satans slaughter
I call to you my friend, please come to understand
Our days are numbered, and there is a masterplan
You can serve God, just repent and you will see
As the destruction comes, you'll praise, instead of in horror scream
Cause, you can't stop it, no won't stop it
I see it all around, the darkness that pervades
Mans mind illusion - as though he could evade
Accountability, to the sovereign Lord who reigns
Against Christ, none can stand, so now stand with the saints
Repent cause, you can't stop it, no, wont stop it
Warning upon warning, I'll cry out, now and again
Like Noah, for those many years, we're just messengers who have been sent
I don't care if you think that it's redundant, like Noah, I'll warn too!
The same message, day after day, enter the ark, or the terror will engulf you
And to the twisted thoughts of so called brethren, who slam the name
Of our Lord Jesus Christ, by slamming us, get sane
You appear the Idiot, to any rational human
And if Judas you not be, repent and give us a hand, because
You Can't stop it
2. The Rising
We are here, there shall be no stopping us
Brothers understand, you have been sent
I seek to strengthen you, cause I understand
We are not here by our own hand
We are the rising, foretold by Simeon
Raise your fists as one
We are the rising, my brothers, I and thee
In service to the King
Understand, action is silent speech
John 13 know what I mean?
I through 17, speaks of we
You have the example, now lets see
We are the rising, foretold by Simeon
Raise your fists as one
We are the rising, my brothers, I and thee
In service to the King
Grieve me not, when I arrive
Show me the unity, that does not divide
Be, if you not be, don't waste my time
Rising, all - be 13, you know what I mean
3. Before The Time
Follow Me, let the dead bury their own dead
Have not fear, I Am here, this is what He said
When He had come unto the other side
They cried out, gripped in fear knowing the time line
Swept away, by the terror that a man should have
Learn from demon forces this lesson and
You will be, if you see, one among the wise
In the age, we are in just before the time
When I say "see" I mean to change
Based on the facts, you re-arrange
Just what you do, who for, and why
Learn from the pig's before the time
The demons recognized Jesus on sight
They screamed in fear and shook in fright
Confused in their madness, it's pigs they choose
The snakes of confusion, ala Lucifuge
Here is why you should change, and not delay
Check it out, they understood the whole thing
Torment is for the ones who reject God's sign
The resurrection, and for the lie
You've got the time to make the change
That is, you've got right now today
To live and serve, the Holy King
You do not know what a day may bring
The time is coming, there'll be no delays
God has stretched out His hand that you might be saved
No reason is good enough to wait
Repent to God, don't hesitate!
The torment is coming, just a matter of dying
The peace in Christ's here and I'm not lying
Salvation God offers and you can't pay a dime
That's the gig, this is it, but there's one more line
The time is coming
4. The Sword
I don't know what you've been told, or even what you have lived through
But what I do know is that life as a Christian, shreds on what I knew
And I lived a life, of which many only dream
Every lust at my finger tips, the total Hollywood party scene
I like it, through the door, totally different, totally more
Intense to the core, since I found out about the sword
Bring the Sword
I like it, and may I say, let me look and count the ways
That I might please the Lord looking into, the warlords sword
I like it, through the door, totally different, totally more
Where I go, I'm never bored because I bring, bring the sword
You see my unsaved friend, if someone's to you lied
I'm telling you right now, we're on the warlords side
Calling you to join our force, none will stand who defy
Repent, don't be deceived, by the crowd that soon will die
I like it, through the door, totally different, totally more
Intense to the core, the revealed word, the mighty sword
I like it, and may I say, let me look and count the ways
That I might please the Lord looking unto, the warlords sword
Bring the Sword
The return won't be delayed, join us or you'll be slain
You have been given this time quickly now, choose life, decide
You'll like it, through the door, totally different, totally more
Intense to the core, and you will have the sword
5. He Don't Own Nothing
So you've been told, that satan owns, a contract to your soul
Or perhaps that he will have a kingdom and a throne
Well now it's time to realize, that none of this is true
He will not be taking any spoils, into his torment doom
The only thing that he can do is steal, since he's a thief
But when God brings the hammer down, this also will cease
He will not be heading up an army of satanic fiends
This idea that he'll have raging power, is just a pile of beans
My Lord the King
Owns the cattle on a thousand hills
He created all the earth, and he owns it still
Eternity He is, and immortality
Peace and tranquility, is what He will give to thee
Satan cannot give you what you can't get on your own
As a Christian it amazes me, how people bow like dogs to a bone
To a thief and liar who only rips them off
Sin is debt that cannot be paid by man, that's why God paid it all
And now time has come
To tell you satan lies
He owns not your soul
And doesn't own your mind
This idea that he is some type of eternal king
Is propagated by satanic fools
Deceiving and deceived
he don't own nothing
All praise his majesty Jesus Christ the King
He is the warlord, who will slay the satanic beings
As for the morbid angel
Cast from the place most high
Feasting on vomit
In his madness, he shall die
6. Countless Corpses
In "Out of the will" we looked at the mercifulness of God
And here we have the second half, for those who repent not
In Nahum, after Jonah had long since then come and gone
Assyria, had turned it's back on our Almighty God
When God speaks, He does not lie, and this is what He's said
If you heed not His warning, here's what you will get instead
Furious in Vengeance, in the whirlwind and the storm
He will pour His wrath out, and you'll wish you'd not been born
Countless Corpses
Woe unto the city of blood - Full of lies and robbery
The multitude of Godlessness, the mistress of sorceries
Behold Jah is against you, and you will not see escape
Corpses 'll be piled high, and resurrected to the lake
As for the message of the band, I've stated, time and again
The warning is so that you will turn, join us and yes, repent
Give allegiance to the storm Lord now, who still waters with a word
He is the Christ, messiah, Jesus of Nazareth of whom you've heard
There'll be countless corpses
The purpose of the message is that you might realize
There's two side to the coin when it comes to Justice in God's eyes
The saints of God are His, because this is what repentance brings
Now you call the 800 line and ask just what that means
Nahum pronunced judgement, and though we're in the age of grace
This age will not go on forever, you therefore should make haste
To call us and find out just what the correlation is
Between The Book of Nahum and Revelation, mind blowing as it is
They'll be corpses, countless corpses
7. Thanatos
Lying in the death trance, just before you die
Silent screams of horror, as you realize
Life on earth was not forever, as some how it seemed that way
You're true friends were we the Christians who tried to warn you of this day
We are the deathless, although the flesh will go, this is not the end of us,
onward we flow
Come to the light child and you will see, the kingdom of peace, forever free
As you fight the death grapple, you realize the shame
Of all the disobedience, you've lost at satan's game
There is no victory without Christ, although there are those who claim there
is
Deceivers of themselves, the death chamber is their end
Thanatos
When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth creature say
"Come and see" and I beheld, a pale horse, and a rider with a name
He was given the power, to kill a fourth and with him was hades
To use the beasts of the earth, the sword and hunger, and his name is
Thanatos
Grace before time began has now been revealed
Through the appearing of our savior Jesus Christ
Who abolished death and revealed
Thanatos where is your sting, you've been dealt the final blow
You could not hold messiah and eternally you will not exist
I'm calling you to carefully consider what I've said
Cause one day when you think it least, you may wake up dead
8. You Will Bow
Let's think about
Let us now think, for a moment about we of Israel
And are you one of us, here is how you can tell
In your life, if you daily to the throne do bring
Your living sacrifice, and allegiance to the King
More than just some word, and perfect I know far from we are
But yet you desire to be in His will, and His word and to Him
You Will Bow
But now, there's another side, a thought that's not so cool
There are those of you, who play the satanic fool
You mock and curse, and think that you will get away
But you will have to face the fact the scripture states, and it is
You Will Bow
Turn now, because you will soon have to anyway
As to your savior or your judge, and you'll obey
Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord
To His Holy righteousness you see, one way or another
Don't forget
9. Hyde Under Pressure
Ok, Chris now I know it's been a long day (sixteen hours), but look, I want you to just bomb nail this one out. I want to get out of here just like you so just get it over with and we'll rip.
Hey Chris you're throwing me off man now play it fast.
Pick up the tempo Chris.
What! Hey! Hey I didn't say change it! I said pick it up!
Now go to the down-beat.
Now play it fast Chris!
Look man I'm not paying you $3.35 an hour for nothing! Faster!
Go to the triplets! Chris, look at me when I'm talking to you! ARE YOU DEAF!!!!
CHRIS I SAID PLAY THE TRIPLETS!!!!
That's it! That's it!
10. Raegoul
In a split second of time, I realize it is over at least that is this life
And in my mind, where ever it was, I rolled it over
How had I lived? And what had I done with my life in Christ?
Just then a smile came in, to the half that was not fried
The smile looked at me and whispered, "Well done", "by the way, my name is
jester"
Raegoul, now to wonder
Raegoul, always on his mind
He was, as he was, when he was, walking down the stairs
The stairs, where the lair, of deception had taken place, there
But from this he was spared through the truth, as the truth was, for those
who cared
But a trap is a trap, and I guess only the unsuspecting are snared
Others are not, but are there, scared, bared, dared, pared, teared
He saw with his eyes, and the his eye, what was, what is, and what will be
And it was moments before, through-out the ages of history
Raegoul, worked toward eternity
Raegoul, did today
Raegoul thought about his mother who was about to die
A tear was dried by the speed and the heat of the time
The pressure of it all was really not there
Because only what was done for Christ at this point really mattered
Perspectives, perspectives, the way an event can make you see
That which is now, and that which will be
The river of time has currents that are winding toward an ocean it is
already a part of
However until the last turn of the bend, those floating downstream never
really seem to believe that
Mind, fried, sizzled, snap - and yet stronger than before
The tears of compassion, causing me to curl on the floor
Reaching out from within yet not reaching, yet reaching
Knowing the end long before you get there, is a comforting thing in a time
like this
Raegoul, God watches you
Raegoul, you've won
This is it, and this it is, this is just what it is, what is it, just what
is, just this what
And with answers too, no need to ask, there's plenty here, just don't ask
about, what it's about
And round about then, it'll all sort out
