1. Prelude
2. War Memorial
Awakening from a lingering slumber
The haziness dispels from my eyes
Clearly around me, I am surrounded
By enemies on every side
We give our lives up
And if we must, we will die
In His service
Our last command is our battle cry
“Stand”
The weapons of our warfare are mighty through God
To the pulling down of strongholds
The Peace of God, when the battle’s won
All my tears are caught by the Holy One
We must stand until the end
We must stand until the end
3. Even You
Nobody’s listening to what I have to say
They don’t comprehend
They think I’ll have to pray
Please . . .
Don’t interrupt my mind
Distortion interferes
Lies are spoken, the truth unseen
And Satan has raped my youth
Please, Please
Natas si a rail od ton netsil ot sih seil
Od ton kool ta eht elkraps ni sih seye
And now my eyes are open wide
I see how you really are
Once a prince, now a murderer of souls
A dark and falling star
Please, please, please, please
And even you must bow down to Jesus, King of Kings
While casting down your tattered crown
At His nail scarred feet
And even you must bow down to Jesus, King of Kings
Even you must bow down
4. Raven's War
I can see the light and I can interpret the fight
A generation of the God blind
A generation with a blessed sign
Take from the rich and give to the poor
Oh Lord, train my hands for war
Oh pharisitical scribes, search your text
For the passages where the last generation comes
By the name of X
Get on your knees
They can’t see the Light
The foolish confound the wise
A generation of the so-called God blind
Yet for His name, they will surely die
Yet for His name, they will surely die
Here comes the Bride
Here comes the Bride
I can see the light
5. Alliance
He’s the only way out of here
He shed His blood
He shed His blood
He shed His blood
Come to the Alliance
6. To The Unknown God
To the unknown God
From the Mosque to the Parthenon
Where are their gods?
Stone cold, dead, embossed
I’ve been to the Cross
Where you Suffered and Satan lost
You covered me in blood, wiped away the dross
And I will serve no other god
Evil men say that You don’t exist
They reject You, they don’t believe that they sin
And I don’t want to be like them
I just want to be like Thee
I just want to seek You
For I am your friend
You made the stars
Men worship and reverence them
They call themselves gods
But did they give their breath to them?
Holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Holy, hold is the Lord God Almighty
As I begin to take my steps toward your fire in the sky
Just to touch Your face
And my hair to turn woolen-white
Yeshua, Abba, Father
Your Kingdom that is to come
I’m a stranger in a strange land
I must return to the Land of the Son
Lord of the Son
Lord of the Son
7. Outbuckett
You captured me and bought my soul
Where You lead me I will go
And in Your presence I fall to my knees
Just in knowing who You are
My tears - they wash Your feet
For You have forgiven me
Your blood - it washed my sin
So I could begin again
And You love me, You do not leave
And nobody can take that away from me
My tears - they wash Your feet
For You have forgiven me
Your blood - it washed my sin
So I could begin again
Sign my name in your Book of Life
Won’t You sign my name in your Book of Life?
Won’t You sign my name in your Book of Life?
8. Crystal River
He was the best friend anyone could have had
The reason he did what he did
Was ‘cause he hurt so bad
And I know he’s in Heaven, no longer living in pain
He’s under the shelter of the Most High
He’s out of the rain
Lay your head down, sleep tight
You’ll always be in my heart
My little brother for eternal life
And we’re anxious, but we know you wait
We know you’ll wait
To take us by the hand, into another land
Through those pearly gates
And my eyes are filled with wonder and stories
That cannot be told
I remember the demons surrounding me
And taking their hold
He washed away my acid tears
And fought the fight that I could not fight
Then all of the demons and fear
Were consumed with his holy light
I can hear the angels sing and now I understand
I enter the gates of Heaven holding Jesus’ hand
Look, there’s Daddy, and the animals talk
And the lion lays down with the lamb
Now I stand by the crystal river
In the bosom of Abraham
I will live forever
With the First Born of the Dead
I will live forever
With the First Born of the Dead
I will live forever
I will live forever
9. Lamb
Lamb, you have gone astray
Lamb, you have gone away
And I will leave the ninety-nine
‘Cause you are mine
Lamb, you have gone away
Lamb, you have gone astray
And I will leave the ninety-nine
‘Cause you are mine
Peace, peace I give to you
Peace I give to you
Peace I give to you, my child
10. No More Night
The Bible says life passes like a shadow
And I know
And as I got older words were said that I regret
Oh, but yet
Life goes on after life
In the light, no more night
Don’t be afraid, don’t be scared
Don’t you worry
He knows the very number of the hairs on your head
And when you take your final breath
Got to your long-awaited rest
And we will meet at Heaven’s gates
And I can hardly wait
Forevermore!
Life goes on after life
In the light, no more night
Don’t be afraid, don’t be scared
Don’t you worry
He knows the very number of the hairs on your head
11. Bury The Dead
Lord, when You call in the night
“What would Your servant do?
What land are you sending me to?”
And I will go for You
What about my family and friends?
Let them go
Let them go
Let them go
Let them go
Lord, I’m walking
And I’m not taking anything with me
And I’m on this road
And the voices are calling but I’m not listening
And I’m not alone
For there are those who are coming with me
And I’m on my way home
When everything’s left unsaid
Let the dead bury the dead, little brother
Get up and take your bed
Even when your last tear is shed
Follow me
Lord, my spirit is tired
I will renew your strength
And I’m in captivity
It’s for freedom I set you free
Lord I’m in much too deep
For each other to breathe
For each other to breathe
Lay it at my feet
Lay it at my feet
Lord, I’m walking
And I’m not taking anything with me
And I’m on this road
And the voices are calling but I’m not listening
And I’m not alone
For there are those who are coming with me
And I’m on my way home
When everything’s left unsaid
Let the dead bury the dead
Oh, we’re almost done
The Spirit and the Bride say
“Come . . . marry me.”
Marry me
12. Omega
My children, we’re running out of time
My children, hear my cry
And I want you
And I need you, my children
Come and know my love
Come and know my Son
I am who was and is and is to come
I am who was and is and is to come
My children, why won’t you come?
You’re my children, so why won’t you come?
My children, I gave you my Son
My children, He gave you His blood
And I want you
And I need you, my children
Come and know my love
Come and know my Son
I am who was and is and is to come
I am who was and is and is to come
My children, we’re running out of time
My children, he’s coming for His Bride
“My children . . .”
