1. Waiting for the Blood Red Sky
Will you hear my blood crying from the earth?
Like you did with Abel
Will you dress me up in white like it says
In the revelations
The process has already begun
I'm waiting for the blood red sky
The shining that will light the night
I am sad to say that the shallow holds
The throne in our hearts
I am late to say that the fall of love
Will launch the fall of man
It's a sign - always fulfilling ourselves
It's a sign - our demands cueing the world
I'm waiting for the blood red sky
The shining that will light the night
I'm waiting for the quickening
A sign to make it all begin
2. Eli Lema Sabbachtani
I'm addicted
To the stress on this planet
So much I need to know
I'm addicted
To just scratching the surface
Emotions put on hold
Deep dark eyes are surfing the net
It's not me, it's my silhouette
Spirit's shy I wonder why
Eli lema sabachtani
Wind will cry as we deny
Eli lema sabachtani
I'm addicted
To be seen as a winner
An infection in the brain
I'm addicted
To the news that delivers
Hell and massive pain
A feast for evil, mankind sleeping
Far beyond our walls they're weeping
3. Doom of Man
Two of the dead I saw in my head
Witness of crimes historical times
You drew the lines that taught us the signs
Lines are erased future is faced
The wind can't sweep away the prints
Of us who didn't see the hints
Are you aware the guilt we share
A cross we bare
Are you in peace as love will cease
A deadly disease
The doom is at hand the doom of man
Haste to repent angels are sent
Preparing it all the final call
Waiting to free things unseen
Static to wild wrath of a child
The sky will fall and crush the earth
The kings, the fools will curse this birth
With bleeding hands to save ourselves
A cross we draw sleep too long
Too late to save our burning foe
4. River of Life (part 2)
The angel said to me:
These words are trustworthy and true
The lord, the god
Of the spirits of the prophets
Sent his angel to show
His servants the things
That must soon take place
Behold, I am coming soon
Blessed is he who keeps the words
Of the prophecy in this book
I John, am the one who heard
And saw these things
And when I had heard and seen them
I fell down to worship at the feet
Of the angel who had been showing
Them to me
But he said to me: do not do it
I am a fellow servant with you
And with your brothers the prophets
And of all who keeps the words
Of this book - worship god
Then he told me: do not seal up
The words of the prophecy of this book
Because the time is near
Let him
Who does wrong continue to do wrong
Let him
Who is vile continue to be vile
Let him
Who does right continue to do right
Let him
Who is holy continue to be holy
5. Inner Circle
We formed the world together
We stood the test of time
We brought in new dimensions
Of how high we could climb
The fall the fall
You gave a new proposal
You slayed the ancient codes
You forced in new restrictions
You fooled the neighborhood
Join the inner circle
You wasted and condemned
Join the inner circle
Don't hide what has descended
There was a slight disturbance
There was a living lie
There was a close encounter
There was live or die
6. Deep Down Under
Deep down under, deep down under
The boiling surface loud like thunder
The fear of being left alone
Deep down under, deep down under
The spoken mission clear like water
A hole that once contained a vision
Deep down under
The famous space inside the human race
Deep down under, deep down under
My disbelievings numb like stones
The fire that once begun is still aglow
The famous space inside the human race
Is not over until we change our ways
I fell down before his feet
A sinner willing to proclaim his defeat
I knew he saw through all my lies
I was judge through the tears in his eyes
7. The Healing the Mystery
I lock my door as the sun does rise
As I observe the things that I despise
I write down all the things I see
I check my notes they're describing me
My tears of joy are sad to you
I can't feel hope like you do
I always pray that the light will stay
To light my soul, my soul is grey
See the tears in my eyes they won't tell you no lies
As you read my history
See my fears go away as you taught me to pray
The healing, the mystery
If I could choose what I would do
I'd stay in bed the whole life through
The shiver me life once gave
Is as exciting as my future grave
I gaze alone at the setting sun
I know today that I have won
8. River of Life (part 4)
Blessed are those
Who wash their robes
That they may have the right
To the tree of life
And may go through
The gates into the city
Outside are the dogs,
Those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral,
The murderers, the idolaters
And everyone who loves
And practices falsehood
I Jesus, have sent my angel to give
You this testimony for the churches
I am the root and of the offsping of
David and the bright morning star
9. Voice of Creation
Airwaves confirm you known by your name
Register movements it's like a computer game
Information overload - pipelines to my brain
Is my inside to explode - none to keep me sane
Implanted disbelieves fulfilled damnation
Improve and then disceive
Voice of creation will revenge
Not even one word of integrity
Life as a free man is all history
Override digital sky - corrupt the endless stream
I will die I cannot hide - in this 16-bit dream
In my slumber falling deep
The day turns into night
Echoes try my thoughts to keep
Decay, slowly bright
10. The Healers Face
Stone, cold, appearance
A change of time
Try, to embrace
Me those frosty hands of yours
Darkness falls in your eyes
As I whisper his name
Past obliges you to fall
On your knees
Hate will abandon me
I will prevail
Season of grace
See the healers
I, stand, corrected
While you wind
Down, low, suspended
In all your might you fall
No more pain from the past
This is what it was thought
Past obliges you to fall
On your knees
11. River of Life (part 1)
Then the angel showed me
The river of the water of life
As clear as crystal,
Flowing from the throne of god
And of the lamb down the middle
Of the great street of the city
On each side of the river
Stood the tree of life
Bearing twelve crops of fruit
Yielding its fruit every month
And the leaves of the tree
Are for the healing of the nations
No longer will there be any curse
The throne of god
And the lamb
Will be in the city
And his servants will serve him
They will see his face
And his name
Will be on their foreheads
There will be no more night
They will not
Need the light of a lamp
Or the light of the sun
For the lord
God will give them light
And they will reign
Forever and ever
