1. Acute Obliteration 4:31
Pulsation, elimination, total annihilation
We the enemy, we who shall suffer
Our faith is in a higher source of power
A power beyond description, a power not insane

Brainless distortion, mindless perception, acute obliteration, intestinal disgust

Blood on your hands, can't wipe them clean
Stained for life, heart black unseen
Eyes empty, filled with hate, repulsion
Breath of death, you are without reprieve
Insane spirituality, living dissection, burnt devotion, mass distorter
There can be only one, only one
Sick apathetic horde, you swim in your own vomit
You lie there and let them take control
Apathy, complacency, it oozes from your soul
What can you do, let Jesus take control
One, two, three, go

2. Enslavement 4:36
In the hours cold and stark, the heart of many opened
Revelation, ugly, dark, Satan lies to you
Claws of evil cling desperate to win this fight
You must decide, you don't have to be

Enslavement

Perversion grips a gentle soul and whispers its lies
Play out your lonely role, Satan screams and leaves
Your spirit weak, drained, he's won
Emptiness, something lost, you don't have to be

Enslavement

You can be free, all that you've done, change your ways, follow the Son
Masturbation generation

Jesus understands
Masturbation generation
Jesus loves your hands
Perversion grips a gentle soul and whispers its lies
Play out your lonely role, Satan screams and leaves
Nowhere to hide your shame, stalking, he loves your pain
Satan says its a game, give him not your name

3. In Darkness Or In Light 8:05
I feel the pain of one who cannot speak
Suffering alone because we are weak
I cry out loud but can you hear the death of the innocent one

I hear the city streets echo with the cry
Of liberty and freedom and man unified
But how do I say what I'm feeling in my heart
I've been listening for a long time and it's tearing me apart

I can't take no more of your songs of freedom
I can't bear no more of your cries of peace
As your jackboots hammer out there is no religion
You alone are blinded to the nature of belief

What have you come to, oh dwellers of the earth
You've defied your reason and now you've given birth
To delusions of your goodness and the brotherhood of man
And all the while you've spilt the blood of innocence in this land

And I ask you now as one walking from the night
Where does your faith lie, in darkness or in light
In whom do you trust when you close your eyes to sleep
What really lurks beneath the surface of the deep

I'm too weak for the whale in the womb
As its mother's baby quivers with the death of a harpoon
Yet for countless unborn children murdered every day
Silence is out, only sound as we see them thrown away

And now I ask you as one walking from the night
Where does your faith lie, in darkness or in light

4. On And On 4:20
Father of love, look upon me now
How I've come this far, only you know how
You've changed my life, made me whole
All I am now to you I owe it all

And the feelings inside of me will never go away
They'll be there forever

Here are all my burdens, I lift them up to you
Your words, they ease my mind, your gentleness shines through
Giving us hope when hope is all gone
Never retreating, sending us on and on

And the feelings inside of me will never go away
They'll be there forever

You are reality, you alone are life
You take a heart so dull and make it shine so bright
And the feelings inside of me will never go away
They'll be there forever
And the feelings inside of me will never go away
They'll be there forever

5. Dead Flesh 3:20
Feel His pain, see His blood flow from His face
Put to death, sacrificed for you and me
Sword piercing, blood flowing, pain upon pain
Beating and punching over again
Lamb to be slain
Feel His pain
Day to night, night to day, sin to be paid
Darkness and sorrow He overcame
Into hell, face-to-face, Satan destroyed
Rising up into life's eternal gain
Lamb to be slain

Feel His pain

Prophecy has come to pass from days of old
Incarnated Saviour, glory behold
Remember who died, crucified
Lamb to be slain
Feel His pain

6. Dimensions Of Life 5:07
Corpses writhing
Sea of death
Empty carcass slowly drained
Soulless body
Spiritual decay
Dimension of darkness pulls you in

Radical conversion of the unsaved masses led from the slaughter by the Spirit of God
Jesus cries out
Calls your name
Feel His power upon your soul

I hear the cries deep in the abyss wailing and screaming their eternal end

He came and died willingly
Crucified
Dimensions of life His true domain

The body will not rot
To dust return
Dimensions of life
A spirit reborn

7. Son Of Man 4:09
8. Torn By Dogs 3:31
Jezebel
Tyre's spell
Stargazer
Hell raiser

Torn by dogs

Kiss and tell
Polluted well
Fornicator
Heart breaker

Torn by dogs

Jezebel
Hell's bells
Mystic maker
God hater

Torn by dogs

Babylon
Coming on strong
Your time has come
You're on the run

Torn by dogs

9. Death Of Death 5:54
Hear the cries deep down inside
Tortured souls of blood horror
Twisted minds, sanity obscure
Souls lost crying, no one to hear

Death calls your name every day
Tells you there's no price to pay
Gives you all you desire
Signed in blood, your soul's on fire

Death of death

Victims of the reaper everywhere
Battle for your soul never ends
Christ died upon a bloodied tree
Christ's blood will raise you from the ground

Death of death

Hear the cries deep down inside
Tortured souls of blood horror
Twisted minds, sanity obscure
Souls lost crying, no one to hear

Death of death

Death has a sting all on its own
Death sings to you as he takes away your soul

10. Seventh Seal 8:34
There's coming a time in the future when there will be no more
Time when the earth will be in turmoil and fear will reign in the land
Six of God's seven seals shall be poured forth but we know not the seventh
And God's own wrath shall be released upon His own creation

The seventh seal has not been broken, the seventh seal
When the sixth seal was broken it released a plague of beasts upon the earth
Locusts with scorpion tails and massive wings
And their sting was so painful that men would kill themselves rather than endure the pain which would last five months

The seventh seal has not been broken, the seventh seal

Accept Christ now or forever burn in the lake of fire
Accept Christ now or forever burn in the lake of fire

The seventh seal has not been broken, the seventh seal

1. First The Kingdom 3:11
Open your minds and open your hearts
The reality of life we cannot discard
To sit and grow stale, slowly decay
While time creates a future where you didn't belong
The Word is power and the Word is truth
It keeps us in touch within and without
Never outdated, always alive, it breathes
Giving new life to those who seek its truth

Seek ye first the Kingdom
The Kingdom of the Almighty
There can be only one who sits upon the throne
Only one who can save your soul

Put your trust in Christ and live a life fulfilled
Be aware of those who try and claim His fame
Only one man's blood was poured out for me
Only one body destroyed, beaten and torn
The pull of this world cannot be beaten
The strength in our bodies sapped, devoured
Accept by faith the baptism of fire
And let the strength of Jesus guide you higher

Never
Give up

2. Path 4:50
Madness surrounds the blood in my veins
And the fires getting higher and higher
Not quite sure the next step to take
As the gun seems to be my desire

I have to make a stand
Wash the blood off my hands
Have another fix
Just to understand

Pain screaming from inside me

I just want to shout
But there's no way out
Have another fix
Just to understand

Pain with no one here to guide me

And then I met a man
He said "Hey son, yes I understand what you're going through
And if you're sick of this life you've been living
And want yourself to be forgiven
'Cause the past is past, you got to put it behind you
So give me your hand and ask the Lord to guide you
To help you stand on your feet again
And take away all this pain"

3. Don't Walk Dead 4:30
Like a vampire the world sucks your life away
Evil infestation thrives inside of you
Your infected brain leads you astray
Eyes so blind, ears so deaf

Spirit trapped inside the sinful flesh shell
So wicked the taste of black
You must wash black taste away with blood
The pure blood of Jesus Christ

Walk away from the woods of the world
Let your fleshly carcass rot away
You don't need this world to live
In God's light you shall dwell

Unscale your eyes, unplug your ears
Unharden your hearts and defy sin
The map to Heaven is Jesus Christ
Die with him, rise with him

There's danger in the woods
Die to yourself or you walk dead
Don't walk dead

4. By His Word 4:47
I live on by my Spirit in you

The supernatural expression of Christ
Is the revelation of his Spirit inside
As spoken to Nicodemus on that night
The truth from his own mouth cannot be denied
To be born again of the Spirit not flesh
The spirit lives eternally after the flesh has gone

Born from our mother's womb
Pro-created by two human beings
A spirit formed an eternal entity
The struggle just begins
Born into sin
To fulfill the needs of our parents
A life started only to be destroyed
By the world and its sin

The battle has begun
With his Word I will fight
Battle-ready warrior
Weapons from on high

Ephesians 6 to remain alive
You need the armour provided by God
Battle for your life, your eternal soul
Born once to die, twice to live

5. The Blame 6:49
Underneath the darkness of a mutilated soul
Lies the possibilities of hate, revenge, and rage
From childhood, abused, beaten, torn, and murdered
The soul tries to survive though its sources restricted
Will we ever understand why some men bash their wives
Some women molest their children
Some children seek out the weak
And devour the essence of their youth

We all need to be empowered to live out fulfilled lives
Women free from male domination
Men from socialisation bred into essence of their being
Controlling them like puppets from a master yet unseen
To be free from the world and the pull of its sin
Men against women, race against race, child against child
See the pain in their face
Help those who need help, do not reject the poor
Only Christ's love can restore the innocence you knew once before

Break away the chains of hate
Open your souls to the love from on high
It has changed my life and helps me challenge
The mistakes of my fathers
Who were themselves puppets not knowing any better
Now I clearly see
So who do we blame ourselves

6. Yowie's Hilltop Adventure 8:01
How can such intense love just turn to a hello
Confusion is twisting my mind
Emptiness is filling me
So alone is how I feel
Losing the grip on reality
The pills don't help at all
I want to feel reality
God is so real

Suicide is raping my brain
From this I must restrain
I don't want this pain
It's sending me insane

I've felt God's love before
I need it and want it again
The answer's not in a needle
And mary jane is not my friend
I drink up
I fall down
Jesus I need your help
And I need it now

False fulfillment is so wrong
My soul feels so dry
Christ, I reach out my hands for you
Dear God, please save me from myself

I no longer wish to die
God has shown me a purpose in life
To help and show others the light
And to be a servant of Christ

7. Can You Feel It 3:44
You came into my life and set me free
You died for me on Calvary
Allowed yourself to be beaten and torn
So that we could be reborn

Can you feel it

Three days in the grave, then you rose
Your victory is mine, now you've made me whole
You left the scene soon to return
And all the baddies must turn or burn

Can you try to understand the sacrifice he made
He bore our sins, a price that had to be paid
A reality in my life, a fact of history
Once I was blind, now through Jesus I can see

Now I try to live my life according to his Word
And listen to his Spirit freely given to me
Your heart is a door open to the knock you hear
There is no better way to be a slave than to be free

8. Reflection 1:34
There's a peace in my heart today
Because a man knew how to throw it away
There's a peace in my heart today
Because of Jesus
Of Jesus
Of Jesus
Of Jesus

9. Grave Beyond A Slave 5:31
This country born on blood of the innocent
They were here first
They were not human so say history
Treated worse than animals
Grave beyond a slave

Lest we forget
The burden of this land
This great southland

Their country torn and women raped
Ripped apart for white man's sake
A culture devoured, make no mistake
We must agree to set these people free

Can we describe the living hell
Mothers' babies ripped from their breast
Helpless she cries, her family destroyed
A life once free, raped brutality
Assimilation, the name for this pain
A culture scarred forever
Who is at fault for this treacherous deed
The finger is pointed while hearts still bleed
I do not blame you for your mistrust
I am white yet I am not your enemy
I cannot begin to relate to your horror
Your pain, your loss, your death
Forgiveness heals wounds born so deep
Please forgive those who are weak
Who look only for difference to break peace
In my heart you are treasured you are great

10. Threshold Of The Annihilation 6:44
Visions of the past rise up amongst the pain
Reminders of the torture, your false religious reign
Political lobotomy of the wasteland masses
Death for you and me while the guilty go free

You sit upon your throne, you sit there like the whore
Visions of your conquest, a reality unknown
I deny your evil hands, I will not bow and crawl
I stand upon the rock, in him I shall not fall

Fighting for the right to breathe the air so pure
I want to live, not die from your evil hands
You disgust me with your putrid ways
Filth, pain, sadness flow through your wretched veins

11. Kneeling Before Your Throne 4:24
Kneeling before your throne, oh Lord
We humbly bow to you
Filled with the righteousness of Christ
Our spirit you renew

You have displayed your splendour
For all the world to see
Heaven and Earth and all within
Were formed by your Word

You have made known your saving grace
To all who believe
Cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ
We are now free

Spirit of God move within our hearts
Your calling to fulfill
Lord, let your glory descend again
And fill the Earth

12. Never 3:43
Hail Mary mother of God
Never

False religion, manmade religion, you will die by what you live
Mary was truly blessed among women, but Jesus Christ is Lord
I will never call man "father", you would rather praise from men
God alone receives the glory, you are equal to us all
Statues and crowns of gold, nice little beads of no meaning
The poverty grows greater because of your filthy wealth
Never...

You teach false religion to millions every day
Indoctrinated from birth, they know no other way
Your faith was born in blood in the time of your crusades
Millions have died in your filthy bloody name
We do not blame the people though the choice to stay is their's
Beware your false gods, manmade religion die
Hail Mary
Never...

Peter was married to his wife Mary, had other children
When you die it's Heaven or Hell, and Jesus Christ is Lord
I will never call man "father", you would rather praise from men
God alone receives the glory, you are equal to us all
Your faith was born in blood in the time of your crusades
Millions have died in your filthy bloody name
Never...

1. Smashed 4:54
You scream your filth
You force your lies
Into all the lives
Of the lost

You put down Christians
Try to make a mockery of God
When the end comes
You will know you have failed

Your trash will fall
You try to make out
You speak the truth
You will be proven wrong

The time will come
When Jesus comes back
Your beliefs will be smashed
Your lies will be smashed

Your untruths
Yes your lies
Will be smashed
Will be smashed

No matter what they say
No matter what they do
You knee's going to bow
Your tongue's going to confess
Jesus Christ is Lord

2. Paradise 4:47
Thousands of years - our own way
Destroying, devouring - soon to pay
The earth is crying - her children weep
The masses yawn - forced to sleep

Thousands every week - try to die
10 tombs - 10 empty wombs
Australia alone - 10 precious lives
What's going on - in paradise

I cry out to you
I cry out to you
I cry out to you
I cry out to you

Imagine mother's pain - giving birth in vain
This world and its values - no answer to gain
Is there hope - when all seems lost
Flesh already spent - once upon a cross

3. Now Listen Up 3:52
Do you know, hey, do you care, hey yeah
I wanna know, gotta be you know, hey
Until you see my eyes will be blind
Sing my song and play my rhyme
I stand tall and I am ready to fall
Tall poppies lay down to cry
Fishing rod sadness bends my brain
Driving me, us, we, you insane

Well I know you and you know me
Until the fish swim they can't be free
Flying like a bird through clouds of grey
I've got to be hated and in me to pay
Hungry animals feast on our flesh
Awaiting the beauty honor of our death
To see blue skies as my feathers fly
I'm glad today's my day to die

You hear me but can't see
Throw away your liberty
Life or death for your eternal soul
Do you wanna live or die in a hole

Hungry, me for you and me, me you to see
The river flows back like a crumpled tree
Like a salmon fighting hard against the flow
The path is straight and narrow, it's the way to go
Zero spot upon my lot, handle cool, maybe not
Gotta live, maybe not, gotta not blow my game
Split your red upon my spot, cleaned up my ugly stain
Now I'm not, got the lot, you took my guilt, my shame

The path is straight and narrow, it's the way to go

4. Judge Me Not 4:14
He died for you and he took the pain
Sacrificed upon a bloody cross
His flesh was torn and ripped apart
Blood and tears flows down his face
Sacrificed for you and me
Crucified on a bloody tree
I want you for once to wake up and understand
We are saved by grace and not our hands
Spiritual beings the flesh will rot and die
Judgment can only be by the living God

Saved by grace alone
Judge me not

Judge not so that you will not be judged
Are the words of our Saviour
Uplift, exhort, and love one another
Do you not read
Your laws, your rules, they bind and destroy
My salvation's in Christ
Breaks all bondage and sets me
Free, free, free

Free to be me
In Jesus I trust

5. Offensive 3:23
My veins, boiling blood
My mind, intense rage
You look down on me
You don't even know
Sick of all your lies
You won't break me down

Your minds are full of lies
You try to tell me there is no God
Yet you blame him for everything that goes wrong
I don't see the stars making anything better

Buddha is dead and in the grave
Your idols and gods are fake
Your crystals are just pretty rocks
Aliens and voodoo is only going to kill you

You offend me every day
And do not see my pain, offend me every day
Every day

I've never seen your peace and harmony
Your fake image is a joke
Demons hosting your ceremonies
But you are so blind

Jesus said he is the only way, that is the truth
That is reality, believe it or die

Your persecutions are like blunt arrows
They might hit and they might hurt
But they'll never take me down

Buddha is dead and in the grave
Your idols and gods are fake
Demons hosting your ceremonies
But you are so blind

6. Time To Die 5:25
You must know the truth I cannot withhold
By the blood of Christ, truth is revealed
You must know the truth, I am not ashamed
In Christ victory reigns, truth is revealed
You must hear the Word, repent and believe in your heart
No false religious reign, Jesus Christ is real
You must hear the Word, let it live inside
In Christ all is revealed, knowing him is life

Pins and needles in your skin
Tattoos cover, hide your skin
Christ don't care what you wear
Only people do

Time to die now

It's time to die, lay down your life
It's time to die, live in Christ
It's time to die, your flesh still lives
It's time to die, it's time to give

7. Corpses 3:54
Everyday I hate what I see
Dead bodies looking back at me
Everyday I hate what I see
Walking through a jungle of corpses

Oh God it hurts to see them drifting away
Oh God it hurts to see them dancing with toys
I know that now they've made their own choice
I know that now they listen to their own voice

I know that some were so close
I know that some were already there
I know that now they've made their own choice
I know that now they listen to someone else's voice

But God I pray
Please bring them back to you

Oh God just please let them see
Oh God just please let them feel
I know that now they've made their own choice
I know that now they should be listening to your voice

Oh God please bring them back to you
Oh God make sure they're not longer corpses

8. Raped To Reality 3:28
False eyes from a paper peace
Drinking death, sucking slow suicide
All I see, wasted minds
Distorted thoughts, tormented lives

Sucking slow suicide
Tormented lives
Sucking slow suicide

Falling down, screaming blind
Looking for a way out, fake escapes
What's your go, you don't know
I know what you really need

Friendships once so strong
Torn apart by Satan's filthy claws
Claws
Claws
Claws

Raped reality, tormented lives, raped reality

Filthy lives sucking you
Fighting for your very soul
Wasted minds, drugs induced
Can't see past the lies

9. Fade 4:04
Into the shadow of the night
I fade, my being decaying

The peace within is shattered
By the silence of the wind
The howl, the cry, the roar to flight
Inside this mind, inside this night

To lay beside the raging stream
My mind, heart, soul, the scream
Searching for the ancient light
To seek, to learn, to find my sight

Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away

Crippling pain inside, insane
To fight with disheveled brain
A search for truth betrayed
By slithering slimy scum is slain

Within this hell my story do tell
Of a life once bright and full
Withering, wilting glee for me to be free
Fades with moon 'pon yonder morning

Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away

10. Is To Be Free 3:02
Feeling hurt inside, try me, soon you will see
You hurt me from every side 'cause of what you see
You don't know what's inside, please don't just me
You're now God so leave it be, you're hurting me

You're hurting me

Deepest cuts are those unseen slicing through me
Put yourself in my shoes, it's called empathy
If you did, hey, you would soon leave me be
My right in Christ in him is to be free

11. Lack Of Life 4:22
I can't help but think about my death
Shall I hang myself until I am out of breath
Or will a bullet help me
God won't take me into his perfect place of tranquility
A thousand thoughts and voices in my head
I wish I were dead as I lay in bed
And contemplate how it will end
But don't be sad, be glad my friend

As I'll be in a better place than you
Is there nothing that'll change my view
Our ancestors trashed this planet, now we're screwed
There's a lot about this place that makes me wanna spew

I hear you say I'm only young
Lots to live for, stop wagging your tongue
You don't know, you have no clue
If you were me and I were you

You'd be dying to find a way out
Until then you'll scream and shout
Then my friend you'll understand and see
What's going on inside of me

12. Feeling The Fire 3:51
As the sun rises high in the sky
And the moon spills its light by night
As the waves wash upon the shore
I will cling to you with all my might

In times of trouble, in times of doubt
When life's struggles overcome
When flesh betrays the spirit within
I will cling to you with all my might

Feeling the fire in my soul (feeling the fire)
Feeling the fire in my soul (feeling the fire)
Feeling the fire in my soul (feeling the fire)
Feeling the fire in my soul (feeling the fire)

Give me strength Lord to do your work
By your power and holy name
Jesus you died, crucified
I will cling to you with all my might

Sometimes I fall, sometimes I fall
You're always there to hear my call
Without you Lord I am dust and dirt
I will cling to you with all my might

Feeling the fire in my soul (feeling the fire)
Feeling the fire in my soul (feeling the fire)
Feeling the fire in my soul (feeling the fire)
Feeling the fire in my soul (feeling the fire)

Feeling the fire in my soul
Feeling the fire in my soul
Feeling the fire in my soul
Feeling the fire in my soul

13. Blyth 4:20
Mindless is the young, too shallow to see
What has begun is the destruction of reality
The achievements so far are all but simplicities
They boast and suffer in lost opportunities

For it is the future they don't understand
What it means to mature from their fantasy land
Drugs, sex and music create the wrath of evil
To fill their ears with lyrics, they slumber in denial

But there comes a time where everything ends
No more lyrics, no more friends
Doomed is the soul, self pity for their wrongs
The demons take control and leave them with a song

No longer does the candle burn
Now life is just blackness
The soul no longer yearns
Death follows the darkness

The young are now dead but a corpse in the ground
To Lucifer they're not wed, never to make another sound
The pre-dug graves with pre-chiseled names
Who will be the next victim of society's demons

14. Lucifer's Seductions 3:20
Tormented sounds, untruths found
Lost spirits sway, forming death's parade
Their empty eyes tell empty lies
The angelic demons, a tortured life's ransom

Life's a passion, stolen lisp, whispers spoken
The evil drives our very lives
We hear the beating drums as the marchers hum
To caress our ears, they be still hidden fears

Blood-stained doors show lost rewards
To cast faith's shadow through the soul's window
The soulless drift blown by false winds
Caught within the passions of Lucifer's seductions
