Discography:


2010 Demo (August 2010, Independent) (Digital)

1. Intro 1:04
2. Backwards 2:45
We move forward
By moving back

There was something at the beginning
It was knowing and never being told
Ask a child and you'll learn everything that
That you need to know so that we can grow

Where are we now but in disillusion?
When is the time for us to move forward?

Who will be the compass when truth has withered away?
Away

We must return to the beginning

3. The Created 3:17
I know there's a reason for my life

Why is it so hard to believe that there's an end to this misery?

Aren't we all searching for the truth?
Search for it and find the answers
Questions everything you've been told
In the end you'll find this world has lied
This world has lied

Why can't we see what we were meant to be?
Is there something with the answers?
At some point we all question purpose
Is there a calling for our lives?

We want to know what's the reason for life
We want to know what's the reason for this life

The mirrors that reflect the dark
Point us to the light

We want to know why we are here
We want to know why we are here

In the end you'll find
We are the created

Countless sleepless nights I wondered
Is there someone with the answers
From my walking I can tell you
That there's an end to this misery

The question is old
So is the answer

4. Wine And Circuses 3:16
I wanted your life
Because I was afraid to be who I was

Tell me
How many days did I live in someone else's mind?
I'm not living my own life
Tell me who I really am
I thought everything you touched was solid gold through and through
But with my eyes opened I can see the lie you live

And it led me to my own grave

Shallow friends breed shallow lives
Shallow lives dig shallow graves

I wanted your life

We can't go back
We can only change from the inside out
I found myself

This life I've found has saved me
Never thought I'd be the one changing




When Darkness Reigns (album, September 29, 2012, Independent) (CD, Digital)

1. The East And The West 2:21
As I put my destiny in your hands
This is so strange but so redeeming
I fall to my knees and I cry out
In my brokenness
Forgive me

As I open my eyes I am alive
For the punishment has been lifted
I have been given grace only a sinner can understand
I am free, liberated

As the East and the West walk in opposite directions
So will I

Blow a heavenly wind
Carry me in a new direction to you
For my ways are below your ways

I fall to my knees
I cry out in my brokenness
Forgive me

Send me in a new direction back to you

My sins are on the ocean floor
Ocean floor

2. Falling Stars 3:15
The great deceiver leads the elect way
With false prophecy and false doctrine
And in the end he doesn't care who dies
Because in the end we all are crucified

Like dominoes their statues fall to your lies
Falling, crashing to the Earth
Welcome to your temporary inheritance

A giant hand sweeps the darkness across
And the sheep run but the Shepherd is strong
Much of this world caves, and is led away to a broad road
Filled with lukewarm waters, drink to your heart's content

Oh deceiver, oh liar, oh falling star
Your cunning lies are not enough for me

I will enter through the gates from where you fell
I will walk and live where you will never walk again

You are the father of lies, your heart's the birthplace of sin
You are the father of lies

He will regain all that you stole
Where Love is you cannot go

Where I am destined you are turned away
For the Gatekeeper will not know your face
As you have chosen to not know His
The Gatekeeper will not know your face

You are not able to return
From where you fell
For you have chosen
The path of pride that leads to Hell

Lies are your eulogy

3. In Her Heart 2:40
If you knew what love was
Then you wouldn't have to ask

If you knew what love was
Then you wouldn't have to ask
I'm giving you a chance
God is your only chance

The prince of this world would have you choose
Bitterness, loneliness, emptiness
But I know what you're looking for in your heart

What you want is not what you need
The foundation is cracked
Your hope is built on castles on sand

But there is a rock built on truth with joy, unspeakable joy
A place wherein contentment lies

Your brokenness will fade away
Your pain will be washed away

And in your storm He'll hear your voice
He'll hear your voice

You will never be alone in this world
You will never be alone in your heart
In your heart

4. Unconditional 3:05
When thoughts are pushed away
And the blackened backdrop still remains
On this clear starry night
It's you and only you tonight

A question begs
What is your hope tonight?
Is the emptiness of this life too much for you?

When thoughts are pushed away
And the blackened backdrop still remains
On this clear starry night
It's you and only you tonight

Have you seen enough now to make you want to change?
Who holds our faith in place?
Only one can hold our faith in place

For just one moment examine yourself with me
There's no one to lie to but ourselves

Is this mirror a picture of conviction?
Of condemnation or are you free?

As water reflects a man
So a man's heart reflects a man

Who is staring back at you?
How far will you run to try and outrun yourself?
What is the condition of your heart tonight?

The Unconditional

5. The Doorway 2:59
What do you wake up asking yourself?
Do the questions drive you to the end of this world?

There is only One and He will come
To separate the wheat from the chaff

Where does my destiny lay?
In His hands or in my own?

Eternal decisions have eternal consequences

And this life has only one real question
Will you receive life?

But your heart is hardened
The question is the answer
And He will point you to Himself

For ask and it will be given unto you
Seek and you will find
Knock and the door will be opened unto you
But will you walk through it?

The hallowed ones will wake in the living waters
This world dies without the Living God

6. War Exists 1:46
7. When Darkness Reigns 3:53
From the beginning this ground was cursed
The works of our hands for our selfishness
This can't be the meaning of our existence
When will the truth be found?

You think you're running from a lie
But the truth is looking to be found
Few will find it in this darkened world
When darkness reigns

Earthquakes shatter and sin is victorious
But only for a moment, only for a moment

Dead and risen, He is King
Even when the darkness reigns

He was betrayed by every man and woman
We were the killers of our LORD
My sin weighed heavy on your shoulders
But you cast it away and remember it no more

The violence has begun to fill this earth
The prince of this world wears his crown and holds his scepter high
Dark clouds remain

And this may be
The final outpost
The final lighthouse
The last encampment

The darkness reigns
But we are victorious

8. Redeemed 3:01
You chose me Father out of love
In desperation I saw your hand as it reached out
To save me, save me

How did you see what I would become?
My life is a shameful stain with imperfection at my center
The god of my flesh reigning over me

As you gave me new life
And you gave me a new heart
As you called me to your mercy
And you called me to the light

I am redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ
Who died for me and said I'm worthy
Who said that I am worthy

The only good thing of this life
Is Jesus Christ

For I am a liar
A mindless pleasure seeker
Searching for the gratification of the moment
The simple answer for today
But you know me LORD
And you call me yours
I am Your child, I am Your child

I am redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ

9. Compromise 3:33
How can you live with only one foot in the kingdom?
The generation will rise and you will fall away
The workers are few, the harvest is plenty
He calls you now all of the world

Turn from this impure love from a harlot's mouth
I have not been called to this life with half a heart

We have been watered down

Burn away my impurities as I move forward
I will finish this race that I have started

Though the destruction sought me
The LORD is strong enough
To pull me from the stream of lukewarm unbelief
The doubt that leads to the worship of Mammon
I will not store my treasures here

For this is not my home
It's not my home

No compromise

Brothers and sisters be strengthened and give up what remains

10. Vessels 3:32
Be pure and undefiled
A vessel for the perfect message
I will not forget that I am Your witness

Keep me close as I enter within this perverse generation
To speak of love and truth
And as You gave me I will give to You

This is the message given through the Son
Carried to the Gentiles and multiplied forth
I am only a messenger of a Messenger

This flesh and blood will carry only truth
For my words are unoriginal
I'm a lamppost
I'm a lighthouse on the shore
Calling out to those lost in the darkness
My only greatness is the One that I serve
But I will boast all the more in it

I desire to be known by Him
To be recognized by the same Love offered to all
The universal, unconditional Love
God please send me where you will

To all nations
To the ends of the Earth

Send me where you will
Send me

11. Lies Of Grandeur 3:08
This life is a meaningless vapor
All the kingdoms of this world cannot compare
To the glory of the Father
Blink and it's all gone

Why do we waste the little time we've been given?
We always turn from the only thing that matters
Father give me Your secret joy while I remain here

Remind me of the value of my time on this Earth
The flash of lightning that we call life

For when this life is over let it be said
Well done thy good and faithful servant

The empty life
The empty lie
The hollow shells we've become

The lies of grandeur

All that our hearts chase after cannot compare to
What lies in wait for those who truly know You
And when it feels so hopeless like we are failing
If we don't faint or give in we will overcome
Vanity




The Missing Pages (EP, October 1, 2013, Independent) (CD, Digital)

1. The Words I Should Have Said 3:33
This barrier of concept
This wall of the dead
I will not be held down with endless regret
You have got to break away from the art of breaking your neck
Contemplating on the existence of walls that you create
In the end you're nothing but a fossil of your hate
Pat yourself upon the back for throwing the dogs a bone
Remember this in torment and know that you've been warned

I wake up every single day
And I'm telling myself again and again
This is where it ends

The draining pace of a generation comes to an end
I will not bow down to the price of what you call a man

These liberated thoughts have flooded through my battlefield
Now watch us as we take down all these armies of the blind
Take my hand, before the crossroads
Naked as the unborn child that you have labeled as your faith
Turn your back, reprogramming how you think
Words become the undertow unless you live them out

2. People Pleasing 3:39
My faith and your words are playing Russian roulette
And I'm scared that there are no bullets left
One of us is already dead
The question is, which one of us has lost his head

The point is that there was only one perfect man
We're all barely breathing, neck deep, surrounded by sinking sand
Blinded by ignorance, don't forget your calling is to lend a hand
Just be certain that you're preaching calls for cleansing of the darkness in our heads

Be a man, keep your promise, and be honest about the letters that are written in red
If every word you spit was a bullet, is it for our good or would we all be dead?
In a perfect world, we would all be prophets; we would keep our word
Of living a life that is holy and be the change that this world deserves

I'm not here to please you

Take a breath and let the word of Christ speak
Take me away
Let the words of the Almighty carry me home, to a grace no living man has ever known
The body of Christ is breaking beneath us, but we have redemption in Jesus
This dying world is coming unglued, but we have os much left to do

Break every chain keeping humanity bound
When a divided world breaks, you will hear seven trumpets sound

3. Hell 2:35
2 Thessalonians 1:5-9
"This is evidence of the righteous judgement of God, that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering--since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might."

You have tasted the fruit from the tree
So out of my love for you I showed you mercy
But you fought for control so you rejected me
Depart from me ye cursed, everlasting

You have felt true love in its purest of forms
And knelt before the throne, wrapped in my arms
But you refused to surrender so you rejected me
Now depart from me ye cursed, everlasting

You will no longer feel comfort or love, everlasting
Fear is the only thing that will live on, everlasting

Eternal separation from the one true King of kings

4. The Book Of Life 3:33
I am the one that deserves nothing but death
Though I am the one that will receive life
Transgressing your laws oh God
I became your enemy

And I have seen the darkest things inside of me
All my crimes against the throne I can't recall
I was born a criminal
But I will die a pardoned son
Because Innocence chose to die for a wretch like me

Though it should have been me, hanging for my sins
Humiliated before my friends and family
He drank the cup poured out for me
Surrendered his life in place of mine, yet still lead me to lose my life

Blood money paid my debt

I found the darkest things inside of me
And I am desperate for a pardon
If His blood is my ransom, then I am free indeed
Three nails, spilled His blood
And now My name is written on His heart

When the Lamb calls his children
Will you be remembered?
Will you be remembered?

5. What Has Been Seen Cannot Be Unseen 4:51
I can't feel a thing

We're laying side-by-side inside this room together
Steady pulse, yet hollowed out in this decaying process
Breathing heavy I'm content, never satisfied
All of you was just never enough

This life, this lie, a facade
As breaths shorten and pulses fade
I cannot seem to get this out of my mind
Are we human, are we human?
Is this all that is left?
Is this all that is left of me?

God is this all that is left of me?
The urges constantly incline
I'm slowly dying overtime
God is this all you have left for me?
This world has fed me complacence
Slowly dying and it's fine
God is that all that you have left for me?

She gave up everything her body had to give
Every sense of self-worth
Now I know it could never be enough

Why? What have I done?
I can't bear to even look at myself right now
I've been standing over all my sin for hours on end
I need more, I need more
Exhausting every outlet of passion
I'll give in to anything just to stop the shaking
Consumed by a sinking ship in the depths of an ocean
I gasp for air as I drown in my shame
But I just can't bear to face it
God forgive me for all that I've done
Let your grace redeem my broken life
For what it's worth, this is my confession

I have witnessed and took part in the ruining
Of so many once innocent souls
I took what's left of her body
Bought and sold for next to nothing to a thousand empty souls
In hopes to fill an endless void

I have ruined all remains of a conscience
Oh God what have I become?
I took what's left of her body
Bought and sold for next to nothing to a thousand empty souls
In hopes to fill an endless void

God I am begging you
For the sake of us all, just put an end to this
God I am crying out
For what purity remains, just put an end to me

My existence succumbs to filth
Again and again and again

That guilt was the mark across His back
His blood covers even self-inflicted wounds

By grace I am redeemed

6. Curbstomp The Devil 1:31
The congregation of the damned
Gather in the serpentine sabbath
In honor of their leader
The great deceiver
Bearing the brand, symbol of death on their head or hand
Crying out the number of whim who is in their command

(Six, six, six)
How could you stoop so low?
Didn't you know the consequence of choosing him?

His words will be silenced
As his teeth hit the back of his throat
I will curb-stomp the devil
Where the streets are paved with gold

Truth Vs. Circumstance (single)

September 30, 2016, Independent (Digital)
September 30, 2016, Vision Of God Records (Digital)

1. Truth Vs. Circumstance 4:17
I spent a lot of time fixing myself
Desperate for help but too proud to ask
Hands behind my back, feet shackled and bound
Convinced that change was between me and Love
Drowning in my own religious ideals
A man-made God crafted with my own two hands

God is not who you make him to be
He's love and forgiveness no matter how much you disagree
You can believe that the grass is blue
And you can believe that the sky is green
But the fact that remains is that you're wrong

Circumstances may have led you to believe that God is mean
That He is an angry God cutting down all who oppose Him
But when you find out who He really is and what He is really about
Blurred becomes clear, agony becomes joy
And the tears become a smile on your face

Go ahead and tell me it's a crutch
I'd really like to meet the person who doesn't need a crutch
We all rely on something or someone
I choose to rely on the One who never fails
But until you find out for yourself I know it's all just hearsay

I'd beg you to believe
But I know it will not work
I cannot change your mind
So I hope my love at least lets you know that I care

No matter who you are or what you believe in
I may not get another chance to tell you
I hope you know how much you are loved by Him
It's not my goal to make you believe or to make you like me
I just hope you know who you are in His eyes
You can't comprehend how much He adores you to death

His blood was shed on yours and my behalf
I will not let His life amount to just another creed
He wanted you to see that through His death upon that cross
You have been freed
Honey you're no whore just because they say you are
Brother you've got worth
I see you through the eyes of a God who loves you without end

Don't go to sleep on more night
With your past and your pains
Making tomorrow the same
Don't go, don't go

In The Garden Of Gethsemane (single)

July 7, 2019, Independent (Digital)
July 8, 2019, Vision Of God Records (Digital)

1. In The Garden Of Gethsemane 5:09
Dance before the altar of serpents
Summon the devil to invade your home
Call all the witches to dance together
Feast on poison and break your own bones

I saw your Judas kiss
While taking shade beneath the great leaf
While your hands were busy with evil
And tongue was spitting unbelief

Dance with the animals
And fall down and bury yourself

I hope that God will show you mercy
Your rapture was false, you had no epiphany
Your fixation was sick and your faith was weak
You fell asleep in the garden of Gethsemane

In your lap lies silkworm
An opioid, and opinion
A light dim or a reflection
Your alabaster box is broken

Dance with the beast with fewer ears than mouths
Then fall down and curl up and cut yourself
My dreams were snakes to spread affliction to my senses
And yours were comforts to worship your serpents

Dance with the beast with fewer ears than mouths
Then fall down and curl up and cut yourself

Language of flies, words fall out of your mouth and instantly die
A mind for demise, your hope is synthetic, your peace is a lie
