1. Immersion 4:41
My heart sails thru - A river flowing red
Result of his compassion - An offering was given
A cruciform tree floats by - Remnant of the price
Scoring a tear in my soul - My being permeates darkness

Trenches of my sorrow - Congested righteous delight
Elation replace defeat - Bring forth praise
Lord God within me - Hold me together inside
Keep my path steadfast - To escape drifting away

Choosing total immersion
Into the delivering flood
Currents annihilate the sin
Resurrecting what is dead

Embracing me from within - Choke out my sin
Your power holds me steady when calamity strikes again
Father of my heart - Save me from this void
Lord fill my sails - Your Spirit be my guide

Choosing total immersion
Into the delivering flood
Currents annihilate the sin
Resurrecting what is dead

2. Forgetting God 8:22
Uncertainties of life plaguing me
Never-ending failures are all I see
Hopeless frustration fill me with pain
Battles & struggles come to kill again
Lost in myself - Seeking to see
Trying to be what's been called of me
Falling so short - expected & seen
Bleed not in vain He who died for me

Here on this mountain I stand crying, crying
This fallen one
I who turned my back & forgotten God
Rebellious child weary of idols & sin
Lord heal me again
By You alone I swear my life, the living God
Pour out Your blood

Struggle 7 pain left me for dying
Wanting to curse Him - But Him I'd not shame
So many questions - Confusion, betrayal
Calling for answers - In this world all will fall
To suffer, to grow
Patience & hope - Call to suffer, this I know
Accept my burdens - Carry my cross
All else is vanity - In this world all fall

Looking back, I can still see
Darkness of those days - But now they are dead
New life filled with power - Freedom & peace
A baptism of fire to open blind eyes
I've stumbled - I've fell
I fought with myself - I'll fight no more
Now I can see a day at a time
Hope for tomorrow - Bright light breaking thru

Here on His mountain I stand singing praises
The chosen one
I who changed my life & gave it to God
Rebellious child of idols & sin
Lord heal me again
By You alone I swear my life, the living God
Pour out Your blood

Waters of life, flowing & pure
Quench this deep thirst - Restoring my soul
Covered in His blood - Reborn in the spirit
Comforter of promise - Guide my new life
I surrender my will and open my heart
I receive what you give - With joy I'm filled
This promise is mine - My life now given
My name again written - Eternally to be with thee

3. Dead Eyes 5:40
I walk among them
Faces reflect their needs
Shadows of what could be
Envisioning their peace

Traveling towards nothing
Imprisoned they wander
Enslaved to what befalls them
Traverse a path unknown

The eyes are the window to the soul
Visions of one's condition
Tomorrow is mirrored in those orbs
The value of one's control
I stare into the dead eyes
Vacant of understanding
A hunger quenched within
Until the choice to awaken

A stirring in my presence
To light the proper path
Seeking joy of a babe reborn
Adopting what could be mine

Dead eyes tell my reasons
For birth, life & death
Resurrection to secure my love
From evil's complacent grip

Today is your choice
Do not ponder long
I will be told to gather
What was purchased on the tree

Go, those who are mine
Set in motion my seeding
Harvest the weary caste
Proceed for the time is almost here...
Go

4. Flight Of The Fallen 4:28
A storm of rage from terrors cage
Set loose to crush these wings
No remorse, it takes course
Dark winds twist, enslave
Heart falls deep, now losing flight
The ground gives way below
No place to set my feet now
Still somehow I am led home

I struggle on beneath these clouds
To seek his glory, oh to shine on me
Trying to climb, to reach what's lost
Peace, blessed peace

Knowledge I gained...ignored
Myself I pushed to that fall
Forgiveness that guides us
Bringing me back to his throne
Perfected in trials & grace
These broken wings now mend

Call to his name
Promised to save
Spread these new wings
Now I fly

Day at a time, learn how to fly
Going so slow to keep
Regain what's taken, restore that deliverance

Peace, blessed peace
The peace of his mountain calls me
In his fortress & refuge I trust
A beacon of light reaches me
Guiding me, farther I fly
A river that flows from him
A path to guide through this pain
New beginnings, fresh & alive
From here do I start

Release my fear deep in the dark
Explode back to life, I fly
Sorting these wisdoms, relearn what's been learned
Peace, blessed peace

Away I soar, so high above
This path lesser traveled
On wings so light to fly away
Come strong wind that carries me
Move these mountains to set me free
Reach for peace long promised me
Long I fly, in pain I cry
To touch the hand of God

To see the sun above the clouds
Like his glory it shines on me
Higher I climb to reach this place
Peace, blessed peace

5. Of Service And Suffering 3:02
I have felt the pain of life
The flesh that longs
The world that corrupts
I have felt the loneliness
Confusion in my days
Longing for my death
I hang my head
Ashamed as I weep
The anger envelops me
Grasping for the reasons that I seek

A grinding of patience
Of service & our suffering
The strength of our testimony
The witness of our walk
A grinding of patience
Of service & our suffering
Our life, our witness
The testimony of our faith

The pain of life goes away
Comforter of promise, cleanse the pain
Him I feel, God of love, cleansing blood
Guide my way
I hang my head humbly as I pray
His Spirit envelops me
Reaching for his Spirit, Christ redeem me

6. Ashes To Dust 5:49
In a place darker than night
Intensive heat, flames burn black
Pool of fire, consuming flesh
Vapors of brimstone, poisonous breath
One way in hellbound sin
No way out, scorched within
Borne of death, never alive
Fallen angels, hate-filled eyes

Beneath the grave - Demons await
Doomed to eternity - Past Hell's gates

Talons rending, spreading your gore
Forever receive your suffering
Eternity & torment one & the same
Revisiting your sin that plagues within
Feverish suffering forever & more
Longer than life, no ending in sight
Punishment wrought, blameless you're not
A vessel of wrath, justice prevails

Beneath the grave - Demons await
Doomed to eternity - Past Hell's gates

Beware & be warned, your living will end
Without God's Son there's nowhere to hide
The empty tomb, sacrifice & resurrection
Buys freedom from that painful dominion

Beneath the grave - Demons await
Doomed to eternity - Past Hell's gates

7. Prison Of Flesh 5:16
Cold fingers claw away
My cage oh so cold
This life they seek to strip away
Deep dark strangle hold
Caught in his snare, the fowler
The flame calls to my flesh
Temptation sweet like honey
Dark angels sing to my death

Overcome by darkness - Falling away
Spirit broken - Lifeless, cold
Entangled in sin - Tightening begin
To a prison of flesh I'm thrown
Burning lust, idolatry
Iniquities speak my name
Shackles of greed weigh me down
Corrupt the truth inside
This world, this flesh destroying
Virtues fallen in disgrace
My heart broken
This life blackened

Once I was dead in transgression
In which I lived
Following the darkness, encaged
Trapped in death's firm grip
Now I live so freely
Ransomed by purist blood
Set free from these chains
The reward of Christ's love

Resisting darkness - The turning away
Reach for hope in salvation
Call on his name - throw off the chains
This prison of flesh I escape

8. Into Eternity 4:24
Repulsive thoughts
Decaying process of the mind
You are deceived
The only way to end pain

Demonic possession
Dark forces forcing infection
Your heart hardening
Death prepares for harvest

Pull the trigger
The barrel's in your throat
Grey matter escaping
The blood freely flows

Assumed rejection
God has never denied you
Prepare to burn
Only you have rejected Christ

Open blind eyes
Hold on to precious life
Receive his grace
His love, eternal life

OPEN GRAVE BONUS TRACKS:
9. Serpents Proclaim 3:47
The one, the only one
Reason for living
The morning Son
Rising above so high to fly
A hope so piercing
The morning sky
True as now, truer than none
Miracle prophesy
My world's begun
To life be beckoned
The choice is free
Righteous anointed, in purity

Beautiful one, majesty
Spirit speak my name
I call to you in holy tongues
As pain passes away

Merciful master, chosen King
Great Lion of Judah
Even serpents proclaim
In reverence I worship
Singing this song
Unending praise
Follow his light
Take up this fight
Till the end of my days
To life I am beckoned
My choice made free
Anointed in righteous purity

1. The Inward Heart 5:10
Why do you weep
Falling man, dying man
Whose tears do you shed
Is sorrow felt for your brother
Or is it from within

Does the heart break
For the wretched
Will it rend for the weak
Or shall you cry out to Heaven
Better them than me

Why do you weep
Guilty man tarnished man
Whose fears do you share
Will you feel anything
Save your own despair

Tears
Tears fall like rain
Shed in covetous fear
You
Only you pay the price
For the pain

Look into darkness
Lay your heart bare
There is no refuge
None who cares
You follow your grave
It awaits
Fall forever down
Enslaved

Alone you wallow
In secrets dark and deep
Close your eyes
Try to hide
No excuse
No way out now
Fall down
And call His name

2. Infernus Dictum 2:34
A shadowed path
Where hatred burns
Dark hearts
Consuming night
Believing lies, denying peace
Words that bleed
Grim deeds of pain

Fists of rage
Storm heaven's gate
Blasphemy's scorn
Spat in His face

Stumble in pain
To curse His name
Of hammer and nail
We are to blame
The path of ruin, selfish, insane
His call I hear
To break my chains

Redemption's tears
Ignored, enslaved
Midnight's heart
Fallen from grace

Let us be reconciled therefore
Unto the creator
Forsaking the idols of youth
Forgetting the sorrow's flesh
Cast down the image of man
And be one with the eternal
Cast off your bonds
Soar above this fallen land
And be free

An ember in ashes
Fanned to flame
Never too far
The shores of peace
Embracing the truth
Lies to deny
Forgivness knocks
His grace awaits

Tear down your thrones
All men deceived
Eternity burns
In haunted chains
Freedom waits
Accept His pain
The Lamb of grace
The key to slaves

3. Castigating The Glutton 3:59
You
You look at me
Thinking you know me
Casting curses
Presumptions and spite

Speak
Speak of me
Lay open your ignorance
Before God and man

Judge
Judging me
Point out my flaws
You dig with your wisdom to condemn

Fool
Such a fool
Thinking you know
So enlightened so low
So proud you're all alone

You dog, you pig
Your sin He forgives
Inviting you to the divine
You fool, you swine
Deceived, you're blind
Deny as you will
Your wisdom is dead

Free
Too blinded to see
This world, this life
Is your end

Dust
From the dust
Never counting the cost
Your flesh, your idols fail and fall

Lost
Barren and lost
To a life of flesh
Blinded by lies...you're devoured

Dead
Dying in ruin
Aware and abandoned
No glory, no hope
No kingdom for you awaits

4. An Ember In Ashes 3:27
Beautiful tongues, deceitful tongues
Withered in lies and shame
Lead my heart to darkness astray
Virtues lost to one's own gain

Words are just wind
A pale façade
Your lying lips deceiving me
A mouth filled with guile
Destroys in the end

Spoken words empowered, destroy
Covering truth with lies
Promise so much with blackened words
Spreading like sickness, burning inside

5. Burning Of The Good Man 5:39
Corruptible, vile, insidious
Hideous insanity reigns
Curious, losing all morals
Unconscious, falling away

Blatant dark passions
Divisive decay
Our righteous are burning
The blind led astray

Sickness, ravenous blistering
Ablaze, noxious rage
Blackness, drowning, eroding
Devoured, crushed in despair

A beast, a creature of lust
Prince, power of air
Free, he will kill
We die if we kill

Corrode, cauterize, burn my mind
Wipe away ruin from my eyes
Rotted fetid filth that flows
Erode away peace, leave only lies
Yearning, longing, seeking disease
Corruption will come and feast
The stench you retch
Lifeless and cold
Heart filled with death and shame

Fire, rising, engulfing
Glorious, roaring within
Enlightened, open to see
Awakened, raging free

Inspired pure passion
Revival, reborn
Our righteous now risen
The lost no more

Spirit, revealed redeemer
Healer, grow within
Blackness fading, receding
Overcome, glory begin

This beast, laid to waste
Returned to Sodom to burn
Free from this death
We live, we live

6. With Fire 4:56
We call on thee, creator of Eden
We call on thee almighty sacrifice
Come now, wait no longer
Bring in your harvest
King of our night and day
Let your peace rule forevermore
Come Christ, redeemer
Claim the saints in your name
Father, maker of healing light
Father, supreme Creator
Spread your wings and cast aside
The powers that we fight
Majesty, maker of land and sea
Unleash your fire, your judgement
Heal this world from its sin
Reveal to us eternity

With fire, burning eternally
With fire, you are embraced
With fire, passion that burns within
With fire, take away my sin

Alpha, beginning of all things
Release us from our chains
Awake us from this dreadful sleep
Set us free once again
Omega, King of heavenly stars
The trumpet is now sounded
Call now your children home
Purge us with your fire

7. Shadows Of The Abyss Part 1: Into The Light 1:52
8. Shadows Of The Abyss Part 2: Enemy Of All Flesh 3:28
Lurking amongst shadows
Hiding in the dark
Like a rat he creeps in filth
Alone in his shame
Accursed is his name
The accuser lies in wait

Hidden from our eyes
Blackness and lies
Beneath the serpent's belly
Lay the truth
Wallowing in the mire
In fire his kingdom swims
Pain will never end

Broken burning monster
Created and cast down
He steals glory with deceit
Fallen son of heaven
Lost in eternal depths
You'll be crushed and forgotten

Feeble fallen creature
Useless, insane
We cast you aside
Mock you this day
Broad is the way
And wide is the gate
In the abyss
Your fire waits

Foulness surrounds him
The stench of sin and death
His iniquity condemns
All who follow
Enemy of all flesh
Scourge of the creation
We resist and you fall

As it is written
You and yours will burn
No kingdom awaits
No reward
Tempt me no more
Wretched son of hell
Get behind me and be gone

9. Blood Forged 4:07
To battle darkness
A weapon's forged
Honed for the task
To survive the surge
The battles raging
For eternity's throne
Consuming the Heavens
And Earth below

To suffer the plagues
Hell's fire unleash
A culture in flames
Are dying in vain
To stand in the gap
The damned are pleading
A warrior of boldness
Wage war in your name

Crafted
In honor and truth
Fired
To endure the fight
Hammered
To clash with the Beast
Quenched in blood
Tempered strong

The ending of days
The inferno sealed
A measure is taken
Of souls and crowns
The sting is removed
The dead transformed
Enter the Promised Land
Tears fade away

Rise above
Triumphant at last
Joining in victory
With our Lord and King
Anointed with glory
Honored by faith
Rise above
Reborn in blood

With faith
My sword strikes
In strength
Darkness reels
The promise
Forged in blood
Victory is ours
Freedom is won

10. Into The Hands Of An Angry God 4:32
Father of ages
I call to thee
A prayer of discontent
I do conceive

Raising my voice
To heavens high
I shout to your legions
Do I cry

Bringer of vengeance
It is your claim
Into dust forevermore
Our enemy slain

As Philistines fell
And Sodom before
Behold Gomorrah
Iniquity's door

Into the hands of an angry God
Righteous
His vengeance comes
Behold your judge
Release and repent
There is a fate
Worse than death

You see His glory
Soaring high
You see His power
Drawing nigh
You will feel
The coming wrath
Turn your eyes
Don't look back

Anoint me now
O blessed one
Power from
Heavens high

Release my spirit
Set me free
Grant me healing
This night

My enemy fierce
Coming so close
Raising his talons
To strike

My shield, my rampart
Covered in blood
Defeating this darkness
We fight

11. A Hymn 2:34
Victory in His name
Champion is His claim
Righteous eternal King

Arise O people and gather to
Prepare to receive your King

Bend your knee and bow your head
Greet mercy with humble grace

Behold His might, ever living, ever strong
Great Lion who never sleeps

Comforter, conqueror, King of all kings
Sit on the throne for all time
