1. Intro 0:58
2. Call Into Darkness 5:34
When you step into darkness
Where you never find hope and grace
Then you search for the light
Then you remember the gospel
Sad but true...
Why did you step into emptiness
Where nothing grows but fear and hate?
Why do you follow Satan
Who only thirsts for your end?
You're not living
On water and bread alone
God created us
To go for the good
Be sure the evil fires
Will not stop at your soul
Be sure the big horned liar
Will betray you in all
Fly away from the evil fires
You will not longer fall
There awaits you the Highest
In his saving, mighty call
I call into the dark
Fly away and delight
Free your soul for eternity
Rise again to a warrior of light
Behold, there is no way out!
You will always need others
You will always need to trust
You always need to be accepted
There's a word stronger than lightning and thunder
It's more than the whole world can give you
So take the chance, fulfill your life through God's Holy Word
He'll take care of you just as He takes care of me
Be sure the evil fires
Will not stop at your soul
Be sure the big horned liar
Will betray you in all
Fly away from the evil fires
You will not longer fall
There awaits you the Highest
In his saving, mighty call
I call into the dark
Fly away and delight
Free your soul for eternity
Rise again to a warrior of light
I'm not your enemy
Look, I'm your friend
I just step between you and Satan
'Cause I fear about your soul!
Be sure the evil fires
Will not stop at your soul
Be sure the big horned liar
Will betray you in all
Fly away from the evil fires
You will not longer fall
There awaits you the Highest
In his saving, mighty call
I call into the dark
Fly away and delight
Free your soul for eternity
Rise again to a warrior of light
3. Follow The Light 4:25
Follow... the Light...
Follow... the Light...
I struggle in the deep
The knife of sin in my back
Not able to resist, not able to fight
But my heart is willing to guide to the horizon
Where I see the light
I am just a man
But I'm not sin's slave
Never will I rot in evil's eternal grave
I follow the Passion of my guide
In the power of the immortal light
In the dark of the night
I follow the light
Step by step with you
Side by side
In the fear of the near
I am able to hear you
You cure my poor self
Your victory is my health
I struggle in the deep
The knife of sin in my back
Not able to resist
Not able to fight...
Jesus sets me free!
In the dark of the night
I follow the light
Step by step with you
Side by side
In the fear of the near
I am able to hear you
You cure my poor self
Your victory is my health
Follow... the Light!
4. Path Of Thorns And Stones 6:25
Fearing the wind of the dark times
Never seem an end
Just trusting in the Holy Bible
The only warmth I get here
Be aware of the demons
Shape the axe and sword
Almost useless against
The masses awaiting me
My face is fraught with pain and despair
My blood is running down my legs
The beast wants to take my soul
No matter how long I fight or beg
I follow the path of thorns and stones
The way Christ told me to go
Remember the lines of the holy book
I will stand and stay the course
In this night I hardly sleep
Know every kind of nightmares
But am I hopeless?
Look in my eyes! Nothing to see!
I'm standing on a hill
Looking in every direction
Seeing nothing but darkness
Just a few meters of the path, and I follow...
My face is fraught with pain and despair
My blood is running down my legs
The beast wants to take my soul
No matter how long I fight or beg
I follow the path of thorns and stones
The way Christ told me to go
Remember the lines of the holy book
I will stand and stay the course
Oh God, bless my life
Let me not fall
Protect me
In this darkened night
While I am sneaking through the night
I hear an angst-ridden scream
And something dangerous bawling
His victim without any chance
Ignore it! There's nothing you can do!
Wait, remember the lines of the book...
Turning around to where the screams have come
Running and lifting the sword...
My face is fraught with pain and despair
My blood is running down my legs
The beast wants to take my soul
No matter how long I fight or beg
I follow the path of thorns and stones
The way Christ told me to go
Remember the lines of the holy book
I will stand and stay the course
Oh Jesus, be my light
Be my guide
On this weird path
In my lifelong fight
For the first time in my life
I am not just reading
I'm realizing
What is life beyond
5. Leper Ways 3:19
Men say I'm doomed
An evil sinner
In their justice
I get maltreated
Men say I'm wicked
Cursed to dissolve
Men say I'll burn
In hell!
Day by day
Hour by hour
Second by second
They make me suffer!
I am Leper
I live a sad life
It never gets better
My darkest dreams arise
No one ever heard my cry
In the darkness, in the cold
They once left me down
Forgotten, lost! Condemned to rot!
My hands will never touch
A beautiful woman
I will never have
A warm home...
Day by day
Hour by hour
Second by second
They make me suffer!
I am Leper
I live a sad life
It never gets better
My darkest dreams arise
All my life
All days
All moments
They make me suffer!
All my life
All days
All moments
They make me suffer!
Suffer!
Suffer!
Suffer!
Suffer!
Emptiness EP

1. Emptiness 3:23
I can't see any colours
Everything is black and white
Inside there is a war
Of good and evil
My heart is damaged
There was evil inside
It's my own fault
And now I only see...
Black and white!
Oh God, give me my dreams back
The things I once wished for
Oh God, I don't know what to do
No matter if it's a curse or blessing
My emptiness... my emptiness
Things becoming clearer:
Consequences of my deeds
We have just one chance
We have just one life, one heart
Light can only save us
If we allow it in
I didn't respect that
And now I only see...
Black and white!
First time I see the cross
The solution to my emptiness
Black and white
In my heart!
Salvation in Christ
The cross, the sword
Christ is salvation
Salvation is light
He turns my existence
From black to white
Christ is salvation
Salvation is light
He turns my existence
From black to white
2. Nightmare 3:30
Endless hate and ignorance
Men allow into their hearts
But something shall never get there
For it will destroy us...
Never felt frost and coldness
Overwhelms my limbs
In my nightmare on a lonesome place
An innocent is tortured
A child is kidnapped
Stabbed by knives
All over its body
It screams... screams!
Everywhere run-off men
Can't pretend the world will be alright
Everywhere horrifying screams
And murderers butchering their prey
Everywhere this injustice
And I hear Christ crying every day
He who still believes in us
Even though we just disappoint him
Who didn't give us up
Us unworthy sinners
Endless hate and ignorance
Men allow into their hearts
But something shall never get there
For it will destroy us...
In mad lust the maltreater stabs
Into his victim until blood is everywhere
No begging, no crying, stops the obsessed
Who bestially murders the child
A child is kidnapped
Stabbed by knives
All over its body
It screams... screams!
Everywhere run-off men
Can't pretend the world will be alright
Everywhere horrifying screams
And murderers butchering their prey
Everywhere this injustice
And I hear Christ crying every day
With the faith in Christ
The world can be healed
I'm sure it would better
If there was more of love
On this earth...
3. Crossfire 3:47
Fire!
Take my crossfire!
Fire!
Take my crossfire!
Never down, never beaten
Carried by my faith
Never frightened, no illusion
I will not look back
Fire!
Take my crossfire!
Fire!
Take my crossfire!
No lies, no crime
No betray, that's my fight!
Only honour, only truth
Only grace, that's my war!
Fire - Take my cross...
Fire - The bullets of truth
Fire - Damaged by cross...
Fire - The bullets of honour
His reign doesn't just begin anywhere
His reign begins right here and now
His reign doesn't just begin anywhere
His reign begins right here and now
His reign doesn't just begin anywhere
His reign begins right here and now
Fire! Fire!
Fire - Take my cross...
Fire - The bullets of truth
Fire - Damaged by cross...
Fire - The bullets of honour
Fire - Take my cross...
Fire - The bullets of truth
Fire - Damaged by cross...
Fire - The bullets of honour
Fire! The bullets of truth!
Fire! Take my crossfire!
4. Lost 4:16
Mauled... and left for dead
Amputated... life and joy
Like a fish without water
Like a bird without wings
Like a child without mother
Life became a cursed reality
Struck down, smashed on the floor
Destroyed, shattered existence
No reason to carry on
Why the hell am I still breathing?
Why should I get up in the morning?
Why should I bother to eat?
Why should I care about anything at all?
I just can't find any reason...
The knife reached deep within me
Starting its relentless massacre
Slashing my heart to pieces
And leaving a hollow cave
Oh God, please let me die!
Oh God, I don't want it anymore...
Oh God, please take me home!
Let me fall asleep and never awake again...
Mutation to a corpse
A walking dead, a lifeless shell
Absent and indifferent
Only one thing on my mind
I see her face day and night
Her pretty smile and marvelous eyes
This is driving me insane
Lord, hold me close to you!
The departure of a special one
The toughest challenge in my life
No escape, I had to face it...
And all life was squeezed out of me
Will we ever meet again?
Will I ever find peace?
Why does it have to be that hard
This beautiful thing, love...
Now I realize my mistake
Wrong priorities in my life
God is not on pole position
I've been offering to idols, worshipping false gods
Lord, forgive my unfaithfulness
Teach me how to love you more
I know you have a plan for me
Help me trust more in your word and fill the void!
My lady... my love...
My Eve... whoever you are
I'll be waiting for you
Until our time has come...
5. Crusade 5:09
Deadlock
My life was nothing
A ticking clock
Wasted time
Then I started
To realize
I will die with nothing
I live for nothing
Life is just a fraud without believing
Faith is a fire without end!
Since I decided to walk in light
My crusade has begun
The peace I got, the shield I hold
My crusade has begun
Since I decided to walk in light
My crusade has begun
The peace I got, the shield I hold
My crusade has begun
The crusade I go
Is none of weapons
It is of good deeds
It is of the heart
This is my fight
It fulfills my life
And if I die
God awaits me
Life is just a fraud without believing
Faith is a fire without end!
My fire will never end...
With all my heart
With all my soul
I swear
To live an honourable life
I will not think of my own
I will not fear tomorrow
I will help where I can
And serve you
I will only say the truth
Too many lies
Have come over my lips
Lying is nothing but fear
I will never betray again
Everyone shall have my respect
The way I want to be respected
Stealing is weakness for me
My fire will never end...
Since I decided to walk in light
My crusade has begun
The peace I got, the shield I hold
My crusade has begun
Since I decided to walk in light
My crusade has begun
The peace I got, the shield I hold
My crusade has begun
