1. Left To Die 4:23

Wash my hands

Do as you will

Take Jesus Christ

To hang on the hill

No mercy was spared

On that day

Packed His cross

Paved the way

Nailed to a cross

For all to see

One in each hand

One in His feet

A crown of thorns

Placed on His head

Stabbed in His side

And left to die

The blood flow

And has since that day

Saving us all

But only by grace

In Romans 10 you will see

How easy it is

To be set free

All this He's done for you

Gave his life

For you to choose

Through the blood

There is power

Cleansing, healing,

Eternal life

Three days had passed

What did they see

The stone rolled away

Not a big mystery

Jesus Christ alive and well

Defeating death

And conquering hell

Said He would go

To prepare us a place

For those who

Follow and obey

Christ will return

His arms open wide

Together His church

To reign by His side

2. So Called Unity 4:13

They all talk of unity

From the problems

We face everyday

Why should we encourage

Let's just talk anyway

Your impulsive jealousy

Where's the so called unity

You're mentally untrusting

And definitely not inspiring

Resume your place

Among this mess

The wisest of the rest

Knowledge you'll never possess

Compensated

For single mindedness

Bored with life

Your turn to test

Battleground for pettiness

Pick at flies to justify

Tempers raised, you wonder why

Why it's totally unacceptable

Come support God's scene

It's just another target

Harassed to the extreme

3. Black Death 2:55

Black as death

Soul not at rest

Demons feast

Ignorance

Total despair

Tremble in fear

Driven down

In a blank stare

There's no choice

But to hear His voice

A fest of mind and soul

Think you're in control

A weak heart

He'll rip apart

No mercy, no care

Forever screams

Of horror and pain

You'll now feel

Reality is pain

You'll now feel

Reality is now hell

STANDARD TRACKLIST

1. Left To Die 3:47

Wash my hands

Do as you will

Take Jesus Christ

To hang on the hill

No mercy was spared

On that day

Packed His cross

Paved the way

Nailed to a cross

For all to see

One in each hand

One in His feet

A crown of thorns

Placed on His head

Stabbed in His side

And left to die

The blood flow

And has since that day

Saving us all

2. Regret 2:32

Stone cold in the grave

Six feet under

In your little cave

Death you thought

Was the only answer

Then life forgot

And hell begun

Lost alone in the place

Grasping for something

Trying to keep face

Your head is above water

Only to give

You're suffocating

Dying to live

Wanting to die

But always denied

Never believe

In being set free

You decided which way

You would go

Now death begins

Finally you're there

And life is gone

The tour was short

And now it's done

You had the chance

To turn it around

Now you're washed away

Underground

Remorse and regret

Of wasted time spent

When out of control

A puppet to the master

Of your soul

Too blind to see

In hell you dwell

Dying to live

3. Diversions 3:44

Hypocritical diversions

Your life's a pit of death

Sowing seeds of abomination

Blinded to the I AM's light

Keep going in your ways

You'll split hell wide open

While your pride and your lies

Dissipate in darkness

Hear the cry to repent

Your sins will find you out

Diversions

Knowing the truth

Received the seed

Yet you reveal in carnality

Preach His Word

Speak Satan's lies

Slowly becoming fossilized

Keep going in your ways

You'll split hell wide open

While your pride and your lies

Dissipate in darkness

Hear the cry to repent

Your sins will find you out

Diversions

Hypocritical diversions

Total death is in sight

South of heaven

Is where you'll go

If you don't release your soul

Keep going in your ways

You'll split hell wide open

While your pride and your lies

Dissipate in darkness

Hear the cry to repent

Your sins will find you out

4. Deceived 3:02

No eye has seen

No ear has heard

No mind conceived

What God has prepared

For those who believe

A man without God

Does not accept

Can't understand

Because he is spiritually dead

Here is the wise

Here is the scholar

Live for today

Nothing else matters

Heaven is now

Death is tomorrow

Wake up you foolish man

A time is coming

When all shall see

The splendor and the glory

Awaiting you and me

Where will you be

When facing God

When all your knowledge

Won't mean a lot

Here is the wise

Here is the scholar

Live for today

Nothing else matters

Heaven is now

Death is tomorrow

Wake up you foolish man

And now you see

You should have believed

But it's too late

To enter heaven's gates

The gnashing of teeth

Where the worm dieth not

You made your home

Where you reside

Now where is the wise

Where is the scholar

He lived for that day

Now everything matters

Reality of false teaching

Foolishness in his wisdom

Cost him his

Do not deceive yourself

5. In Doubt 5:23

I cannot understand

Why this is happening to me

I can't understand at all

Going through pains

I can't understand

I just want to be free

My soul is confused

By these troubles of life

Dear God

Why is this happening to me

I question my life

And the way that I live

Am I not good enough for You

Why must I go

Through these things

Are Your holy words not true

For your thoughts

Are not My thoughts

Neither are your ways My ways

I am the Truth and the Life

Cast your cares on Me

If I watch over the birds

And care when they fall

How much more

Will I relieve your strife

Just like Job

In the days of old

Great troubles have come my way

But just like him

You will deliver me

And make the pathway straight

So if I lean on You

In times of doubt

And know that You

Are there walking with me

When I need You the most

You ease my despair

For your thoughts

Are not My thoughts

Neither are your ways My ways

I am the Truth and the Life

Cast your cares on Me

If I watch over the birds

And care when they fall

How much more

Will I relieve your strife

6. Black Death 2:50

Black as death

Soul not at rest

Demons feast

Ignorance

Total despair

Tremble in fear

Driven down

In a blank stare

There's no choice

But to hear His voice

A fest of mind and soul

Think you're in control

A weak heart

He'll rip apart

No mercy, no care

Forever screams

Of horror and pain

You'll now feel

Reality is pain

You'll now feel

Reality is now hell

7. So Called Unity 3:53

8. Faith 3:19

Faith is the hope

In things not seen

You have to believe

In God first to receive

Through faith we understand

The Word of God the truth

To reject His words

Would mean death to You

This is the confidence

We have in Him

To ask anything

According to His will

Spiritual assurance

Answers to prayers

Never to allow

More than we can bare

Prepares you for battles

And personal attacks

Guides you on your way

And never turns His back

Just be a believer

A promise from God the Overseer

By believing, receiving

Heaven shall be home

No more temptation

To try to lead you wrong

Your faith in God

Was the key

That set your soul free

Eternally all things believe

Whatsoever you ask in prayer

Believing you shall receive

All things believing shall receive

9. The Will 2:52

Holy and faithful

My brothers in Christ

Peace to you

Be praying and asking

To be filled with wisdom

And understanding

And knowledge of His will

His will

Live a life worthy of the Lord

Bearing good fruit

Growing in His Word

Gaining power and might

Rejoice for the

Forgiveness of sins

His will

Rejoice in which was suffered

For you in regards to

Christ's afflictions

The love for His church

God's chosen people

Give thanks

The blood was shed for You

His will

His will be done

10. Dwell In 3:49

If sin build the temple

The temple is to dwell

In the pit of hell

Walking the line

Till you're out of time

Out of control

Guiding your soul to hell

Fighting with the inner man

For freedom in your soul

A death grip from hell

Was sent but

Has to let go

It's time to believe

It's time to receive

Time to take a stand

If Christ builds the temple

The temple is to dwell

In His perfect will

Clearing your life

From sin of mankind

Never out of control

Or Satan guiding your soul

Peace with the inner man

Freedom in your soul

God sent His Son to show

You the way to go

It's time to believe

It's time to receive

Time to take a stand

11. One Living God 4:23

Buddha, mere dust of the earth

Muhammed can't provide the new birth

Zeus is but a fairy tale

Dead unrepented followers

Will burn in the reality of hell

One living God
