1. Dance Of The Dead
DANCE OF THE DEAD
In my final hour I hold your hand
I feel your touch comfort me
As I take my final breath
Convicted of murder
Sentenced to death
For blood shed
By my hand
No redemption
Just time to repent
I pray for all I've deceived
In my time of death
I find your peace
Walk to my death bed
Dance of the dead
Take my last breath
Dance of the dead
Strange how I found you
Here in this place
Of destruction
In you I found peace
A black soul of evil
Was my fate
How I long for tomorrow
I want to see your face
In my time of death
I find your peace
Walk to my death bed
Dance of the dead
Take my last breath
Dance of the dead
Die with me
Set me free
Save my soul
Die with me

2. Alone
ALONE
Winds collide, soul burns deep
Lost all my self esteem
Crush my walls, bring me down
Crush my soul, make me bleed
Climb the rock to the top
Push me off, you won't see
No remorse, no regret
Lost all my sanity
Such pain - can't deny
You point - and I cry
I feel - that I'm through
I cry - out tonight
Is there - hope in this
Or is - is this it
Am I - am I through
What should - should I do
Put me down, turn me out
Alone inside
Put me under, I drown in tears
Alone I die
Don't you say you understand
Don't you say that you've been here
Don't you try to pick me up
I have fallen far too deep
I don't feel love, I don't feel hate
I just exist in this static state of pain
When I'm in my darkened state
Grab me in your warm embrace
Remind me that in you I'm safe
Take me to your hideaway
Hear my voice when I call
Pick me up when I fall
Human pain lasts for today
Your love lasts for eternity
No pain - found in Christ
You point - and I cry
I know - I'm not through
I cry - out tonight
I found - hope in this
I know - what to do
I know - I'm not through
You know - what to do
Push me down, turn me out
I won't cry
Push me under, no more tears
Found in Christ

3. Walk Away
WALK AWAY
Self serving bands don't care
Hear their sludge on the air
Can't make her do drugs
But when she needs role models
None are found
Did not put a gun to his head
But you can help him put it down
Time bomb tick tick tick ticks away
Kid self-destructs today
Never met your daughter's friends
The Satanists, it's so insane
When you buried your head in the sand
Did the worms eat your brain
All of our sons have gone astray
Just close your eyes and walk away
No matter the price you'll never pay
Just close your eyes and walk away
Walk away, walk away
Suck out all the life you can
Feed the disease that haunts the land
Leave the poor, leave the sick
Turn your back and close your eyes
Spend your time saving lives
Overseas and far away
Forget the cries before your eyes
Turn your back and walk away
All of our sons have gone astray
Just close your eyes and walk away
No matter the price you'll never pay
Just close your eyes and walk away
Walk away

4. Shipwrecked
SHIPWRECKED
Darkened cloud rolls over me
Torn from what it used to be
A voice in the wind calls out to me
My soul, it cries out for peace
We lost control when we went to sea
The storm hit hard, it never ceased
I prayed, I feared every night
That we'd wake to see the light
Can you see the light
Does death cry out to you
Does he whisper my name
Do you hear my calling
Is it me lost and confused
Feel my sensation
I cry out to you
Gaze into my eyes
I'll see this thing through
Everything I see and know
I won't let it go
With you till the end
Don't you know
All I ask is that you follow
All I ask is that you trust me
All I ask is that you trust what I say
You don't need to walk on water
You just need to believe
You just need to trust what I say
Forever I won't die
Forever to you I cry
Are we headed
To the end
Are we sailing
To higher ground
Are we shipwrecked
Lost and never found
Are we on track
And homeward bound

5. Sanctify
SANCTIFY
I am a Pharisee
I am a bigot
I am a failure
I am a murderer
Can you forgive me
Can you remake me
Can you cleanse me
Can you resurrect me
I'm a Pharisee with a
Tunnel vision view
My finger is a gun sight
Pointed right at you
Is there one who can forgive me
I am just a bigot
Superior by birth
Hating all unlike me
Measuring their worth
Is there one who can remake me
There's a sword of judgment swinging
But is it yours or is it mine
There's a river of blood flowing
There's a price when you sanctify
I am just a failure
Rotting in self pity
Puss amidst the plague
Disfiguring the pretty
Can you cleanse me
I'm a murderer who
Sent men to their graves
Buried with my conscience is
Hope I could be saved
Can you resurrect me
There's a sword of judgment swinging
But is it yours or is it mine
There's a river of blood flowing
There's a price when you sanctify
Judged by man was the plan
Since the day of birth
Perfect man with a perfect plan
Sent to cleanse the earth
Don't believe you can't be redeemed
Don't believe you're gone
He paid the cost
Don't count the loss
His blood has set you free
Sanctify
All it takes is belief
Confession, repentance of sins
Leave behind all the crime
All the pain you've seen
Read the word, live the word
Fulfill your life to be
Jesus Christ sanctify
With your blood wash me clean
Jesus Christ sanctify

6. Touch
TOUCH
Touch me and I'll know you're there
Touch me and I'll know you care
Touch me and you will connect
Touch me and you will affect
Stranded on a cluttered shore of intellect
Trying to interpret from the indirect
Freezing in the clutches of your cold respect
Lost within the dungeon of your dialect
Bodies that are close but will not intersect
No sign of invasion, I need not protect
Words are disembodied shades
Memory of you just fades
Hopes and dreams I cannot clutch
All are meaningless but touch
Touch me and I'll know you're there
Touch me and I'll know you care
Touch me and you will connect
Touch me and you will affect
Pound a helpless kid, more than pain you inject
From a child's sweet grasping nature you defect
Man's bound to affection but then you dissect
Treat me like a leper, your fear will infect
Passion's what a lover's stroke can resurrect
Shield a friend within your arms, do not reject
Words are disembodied shades
Memory of you just fades
Hopes and dreams I cannot clutch
All are meaningless but touch
Touch me

7. Fatherless
FATHERLESS
Alone again, left by my own
My flesh, my blood, all I've known
Is lost, forgotten
Don't blame me
I was not there to take the blame
I cry - cry - cry - cry
I cry, I weep, I live without you
And I don't know your name
I cry, I weep, I live without you
And I know I'll always be fatherless
You ask me why I do what I do
You'd know if you had been there with me
Too bad that you are dead in my eyes
You know that it is just father like son
I cry - cry - cry - cry
I cry, I weep, I live without you
And I don't know your name
I cry, I weep, I live without you
And I know I'll always be fatherless
From the album "Sanctify"

8. You Can't Bring Me Down
YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN
Madness roaming free
Complete insanity
The way I express myself
You won't take that from me
Shoot your mouth
Me you blame
What makes you think
It's your place
You, you've got it in your head
You're sure I sing of death
From you I take the blame
That's OK 'cause you can't bring me down
We've been around so long
There's just no way we'll fall
Forever we'll stand tall
'Cause you can't bring me down
What gives you the right
To persecute my life
Read between the lines
You are what you despise
Shoot your mouth
Me you blame
What do you think
Christ would say
You, you've got it in your head
You're sure I sing of death
From you I take the blame
That's OK 'cause you can't bring me down
We've been around so long
There's just no way we'll fall
Forever we'll stand tall
'Cause you can't bring me down
