Take A Hard Look E.P. (July 22, 2020, Independent) (Digital)
1. Demonic Possession 3:17
Hollow, alone, and empty
Sick, dying soul
Demonic parasite new taking control
Buried deep in the host, once an empty shell
Filled with demonic presence, sent straight from Hell
There's only one way to redeem this man
Rebuking Satan's presence, Bible in hand
Words spoken straight from scripture, the imp fears it
"Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit" (Mark 5:8)
Praying over you with my crucifix
In the name of Christ you will submit
2. Seven Heads: Ten Horns 3:01
"I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a beast rise up out of the sea
Having seven heads and ten horns
And upon his horns ten crowns and upon his heads the name of blasphemy" (Revelation 13:1)
Coming from the sea
And the beast did blaspheme, cursing God and his people
And then it was given unto him to make war with the saints and then to overcome all of them
And power was given him over all the nations
Rising, spreading wings across the sky
Dripping, growing, fear in every eye
And the beast did blaspheme, cursing God and his people
And then it was given unto him to make war with the saints and then to overcome all of them
And the beast did blaspheme, cursing God and his people
And then it was given unto him to make war with the saints and then to overcome all of them
"I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea
Having seven heads and ten horns
And upon his horns ten crowns and upon his heads the name of blasphemy" (Revelation 13:1)
Coming from the sea
And the beast did blaspheme, cursing God and his people
And then it was given unto him to make war with the saints and then to overcome all of them
3. Holy Militancy 2:36
We were called to march boldly in faith with the whole armor of God
That ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil
We will march through the hordes of evil with the Sword held up high
With holy militancy, we fight, willing to die
If God is for us, who can be against us
When this battle is already won
We were called to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power
For our struggle is not against mankind, but against evil rulers
We will march through the hordes of evil with the Sword help up high
With holy militancy, we fight, willing to die
If God is for us, who can be against us
When this battle is already won
We were called to march boldly in faith with the whole armor of God
That ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil
We will march through the hordes of evil with the Sword help up high
With holy militancy, we fight, willing to die
Through The Storm (single)

April 13, 2021, Independent, Remixed, Remastered (Digital)
1. Through The Storm 3:21
I was lost, a ship at sea
Raised my sails without knowing
The way to fill the void I seek
All I knew, I had to leave
Left that dock, to not return
Along the way, I'd hope I'd learn
Inside of me, a yearning burns
To seek life's truth and love I yearn
In the dark, a light still shines
A ray of hope before my eyes
The way to guide this ship of mine
Through the storm
Through the noise, I hear the call
To follow Christ and never stall
I set my sails and I stand tall
Through the storm
Trust the Lord with all your heart
And on your understanding, not
The path is lit for you talk
Through the storm
The heart of man, it plans the way
The Lord makes every step arranged
Light the path of every day
God's light
I was lost and now I'm found
Now my destiny is bound
Now my ears can hear the sound
Calling
I was blind when I lost sight
Of what was right before my eyes
Now in me, my God my light
Calling
And the waves kept crashing in
With the weight of the sea
And my ship kept pressing on
With Jesus guiding me
I was lost and now I'm found
Now my destiny is bound
Now my ears can hear the sound
Calling
I was blind when I lost sight
Of what was right before my eyes
Now in me, my God my light
Calling
The Great Tribulation (album, August 18, 2020, Independent) (CD, Digital)
1. Prelude 1:06
2. Genesis 4:32
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters
And God said 'let there be light' and there was light!" (Genesis 1:1)
Six days of creation and the planet Earth is born
Six days from the beginning, in God's image, man is born
Science has a lot of theories, none of which that explain
God, Creation, or the power of faith
In the beginning, God created beasts of the land and their kind
Man and woman were then created to begin the cycle of life
And God blessed them, told them to be fruitful and then to multiply
God saw everything that He had made and it was good
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters
And God said 'let there be light' and there was light!" (Genesis 1:1)
Six days of creation and the planet Earth is born
Six days from the beginning, in God's image, man is born
Science has a lot of theories, none of which that explain
God, Creation, or the power of faith
Science has a lot of theories, none of which that explain
God, Creation, or the power of faith
We reject evolution as theory
We reject evolution as truth
We reject evolution as science
3. The Great Tribulation 3:26
Nation shall rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom
There shall be famine and pestilence and earthquakes in many places
Nation shall rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom
There will be wars and struggle and antichrists of many faces
Be not troubled, for these things will come to pass
Be not troubled, but the end is not here yet
Be not troubled, for these things will come to pass
Be not troubled, but the end is not here yet
Know you will face unjust fiery hate, malice and persecution
For just bearing the name, of the Lord we praise, across all the nations
False prophets will rise to subvert and to deceive populations
To see through the lies, take heed the Word of God, take heed, the Word of God
Take heed
We must endure this struggle until the end
For those who struggle and endure will rise and not descend
We must endure this struggle until the end
For those who struggle and endure will rise and not descend
False prophets will rise to subvert and to deceive populations
To see through the lies, take heed the Word of God, take heed, the Word of God
Fear not
We must endure this struggle until the end
For those who struggle and endure will rise and not descend
4. Digital Dystopia 3:20
Welcome to the modern age of technology and information
High tech future of isolation
Human need replaced by automation
Rise!
We must all rise!
Rise above modernity
Free!
We can be free from deceit and impurity
Lies, deceit, manipulation
Witness this sick dying nation
Godless leaders, godless liars, will sleep eternally in the fire
Rise!
We must all rise!
Rise above modernity
Free!
We can be free from deceit and impurity
5. Trepidation 3:37
Trapped in my own mind, pressure right behind my eyes, relaxation I can't find
Feel my brain short-circuit
Pushing on my chest and a feeling of unrest, I can't cope with all this stress
This is overwhelming
Sick! In the head!
Sick! In the head!
Sick! In the head!
Sick! In the head!
Can't save myself from this, every try has been a miss and I'm sick of all the fits
Feel my soul crying out
Fallen to my knees, crying out to Jesus "Please", pray my heart out, my hands squeezed
Pray for grace and mercy
Eventual relief comes to fully cover me, slowly peace will come to be
Trust my God my Savior
Separate my mind from my spirit and unwind in some solace I can find
In my Lord, my Shepherd
Sick! In the head!
Sick! In the head!
Sick! In the head!
Sick! In the head!
Panicking keeps happening
It comes and goes so frequently
The only cure I seem to find is strength from God put there inside
By casting cares through little prayers and taking measured breaths of air
This will not kill, this too shall pass
You will break free, you will surpass
It's happening again after several days it's been, this just happens now and then
Have to pray my way out
The drugs just made me sick so I knew I had to qui, weakness hardest to admit
Need to feel in control
Trapped in my own mind, pressure right behind my eyes, relaxation I can't find
Feel my brain short-circuit
Pushing on my chest and a feeling of unrest, I can't cope with all this stress
This is overwhelming
Sick! In the head!
Sick! In the head!
Sick! In the head!
Sick! In the head!
Can't save myself from this, every try has been a miss and I'm sick of all the fits
Feel my soul crying out
Fallen to my knees, crying out to Jesus "Please", pray my heart out, my hands squeezed
Pray for grace and mercy
Eventual relief comes to fully cover me, slowly peace will come to be
Trust my God my Savior
Separate my mind from my spirit and unwind in some solace I can find
In my Lord, my Shepherd
Sick! In the head!
Sick! In the head!
Sick! In the head!
Sick! In the head!
6. Quarantine 3:06
Locked myself in to my own self again
Blocked out the world and no one's getting in
Can't seem to find myself trusting again in this world (again)
Been so betrayed every step of the way
Hiding myself in this bed that I've made
Can't just conform to the norms and the ways of this world (again)
And be not conformed
Renew your mind and then transform
That you may then prove the will
The will of almighty God
And be not conformed
Renew your mind and then transform
Captivity, not the life meant for me
Through a new lens, I can focus and see
Perspective through faith is the way to be free in this world (again)
The Lord is my strength and my shield in these days
In Him, my heart trusts and my mouth offers thanks
Through Christ, I have strength to move on and embrace this world (again)
7. Baptized By Fire 3:20
REPENT FOR THE END IS NIGH
Now is the time to repent, your time here is spent
Living life so sinful and faithless
Now is the time to believe, in the one who is He
That removes the sin from the earth
Wash me
Cleanse me
Hear me, I am yours
Mold me
Guide me
Know that You are my Lord
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me for I am unworthy
REPENT FOR THE END IS NIGH
Now is the time to escape from the bondage and the chains
Binding us to our sinful nature
Now is the time to be free in Lord Christ, God is He
Liberate to ex infernis
Wash me
Cleanse me
Hear me, I am yours
Mold me
Guide me
Know that You are my Lord
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me for I am unworthy
REPENT FOR THE END IS NIGH
8. Light Of The World 3:19
I am the light of the world, Jesus spake (John 8:12)
Through the dark, the light shines, piercing in
He that will follow shall never walk in the dark
But shall walk with the holy light of life
For too long, I have walked in darkness, lost and trapped in sin
For too long, I have self-destructed, letting every poison in
For too long, I have disobeyed God, rebelled in every way
Not for long, I refuse to live dead, in darkness every day
KILL all these evil demons
KILL all these wicked thoughts
KILL every last temptation that tries to throw me off
HEAL my sick unclean spirit
HEAL these scars in my mind
HEAL every last addiction and leave them all behind
I am the way, the truth, and the life
No man can get to God but by the Son (John 14:6)
I am the way, the truth, and the life
Son to Father, kingdom come
I am the light of the world, Jesus spake
Through the dark, the light shines, piercing in
He that will follow shall never walk in the dark
But shall walk with the holy light of life
I am the way, the truth, and the life
No man can get to God but by the Son
I am the way, the truth, and the life
Son to Father, kingdom come
For too long, I have walked in darkness, lost and trapped in sin
For too long, I have self-destructed, letting every poison in
For too long, I have disobeyed God, rebelled in every way
Not for long, I refuse to live dead, in darkness every day
KILL all these evil demons
KILL all these wicked thoughts
KILL every last temptation that tries to throw me off
HEAL my sick unclean spirit
HEAL these scars in my mind
HEAL every last addiction and leave them all behind
I am the light of the world, Jesus spake
Through the dark, the light shines, piercing in
He that will follow shall never walk in the dark
But shall walk with the holy light of life
Keep Your Heart (single/collaboration, October 9, 2020, Independent) (Digital)
1. Keep Your Heart 3:53
They invite you to indulge in debauchery
They persuade you to cheat on the wife of your youth
They call you to wreak havoc
They urge you to take the path of vice
But you keep your heart
But you keep your heart pure and holy
Keep your heart
Love the sinner and hate the sin
They promise you secret knowledge
They urge you to take the path of iniquity
They offer you Communist teaching
They call you to arrange a pogrom
But you keep your heart
But you keep your heart pure and holy
Keep your heart
Love the sinner and hate the sin
Breathing In The Wrath (single)

October 24, 2022, Independent, Remastered (Digital)
1. Breathing In The Wrath 3:05
Death covers all the Earth, last days
Plagues unleash upon the world, God's wrath
Seven angels congregate to pour out the plagues incarnate
Sores infest the apostates and tides will rise with bloody waves
Sinners' skin incinerates from the flames poured out in His holy name
Darkness covers everything and still they curse His name
Both sun and moon, darkened spheres
Trumpets sound, now the end is here
Dry as bone, the Euphrates a battleground of wicked kings
To fight against the deity, the Alpha and the Omega King
Armageddon initiate as the evil forces culminate
To battle against the Elohim, the one almighty God
And the seventh angel poured out wrath
In the form of frozen stones of hail
God has judged the world
For all their sins and disbelief
Vials of wrath have now been poured upon
What's left of the Earth
Seven angels congregate to pour out the plagues incarnate
Sores infest the apostates and tides will rise with bloody waves
Sinners' skin incinerates from the flames poured out in His holy name
Darkness covers everything and still they curse His name
Dry as bone, the Euphrates a battleground of wicked kings
To fight against the deity, the Alpha and the Omega King
Armageddon initiate as the evil forces culminate
To battle against the Elohim, the one almighty God
Infinite Rebirth (album, June 14, 2021, Independent) (CD, Digital)
1. Death 1:42
2. Hell 4:01
Down!
Eternal blaze, fallen from grace, suffering Satan's ire
Drown!
Into the lake, burning awake, suffer the lake of fire
Here, there's only pain, there is no rain to fall down and extinguish
Fear, no end is near, dark minions cheer as all hope is relinquished
Hell, tortures combined, no state of mind, physical place of torment
Low, so far below, plagues by the row, this is where life is absent
Burning in flames at the end of the world, you suffer
Eternal pain, all enslaved, burnt in chains, no slumber
Death, the second death, pleasure bereft, containment with the fallen
Weep, gnashing of teeth, wailing beneath, only more pain for all them
End, there is no end, death is the scent, torment in hell eternal
Die, bleed as you cry, burning alive, at Satan's throne infernal
Hell, tortures combined, no state of mind, physical place of torment
Low, so far below, plagues by the row, this is where life is absent
Burning in flames at the end of the world, you suffer
Eternal pain, all enslaved, burnt in chains, no slumber
Transcend, descend
Unfound, cast down
Down!
Eternal blaze, fallen from grace, suffering Satan's ire
Drown!
Into the lake, burning awake, suffer the lake of fire
Here, there's only pain, there is no rain to fall down and extinguish
Fear, no end is near, dark minions cheer as all hope is relinquished
Hell, tortures combined, no state of mind, physical place of torment
Low, so far below, plagues by the row, this is where life is absent
Burning in flames at the end of the world, you suffer
Eternal pain, all enslaved, burnt in chains, no slumber
God gave you a choice, live and rejoice, or die and forfeit heaven
Judged, sentenced, you die, you chose not life, now you must face what couldn't ever happen
3. Release 2:57
Moving forward, pushing onward, move the part, clock the time
Pressure building, pleasure seeking, dangerous paradigm
Feeling nothing, must feel something, dream of the sublime
Skin cut open, blood on my hands, wishing I would just die
Lost and afraid
Caught in a daze
I've lost my way
Yet I never had it
Built up inside
Up to my eyes
Blood tears I've cried
Waiting up for release
Hit the bottle, slam some pills down, pass myself, kill the time
Cutting, bleeding, insane feeling, something wrong with my mind
Faithless, godless, hopeless, cope-less, call for help, desperate please
If I knew God, I wouldn't try to hurt myself just to find the release
Scars on my arms, torn up insides, actions all have a price
I chose my path, rebel, outcast, did not take their advice
I'm so thankful Jesus found me, picked me up, changed my life
Love has feeling, life has meaning, let in Christ, drop the knife
Lost and afraid
Caught in a daze
I've lost my way
Yet I never had it
Built up inside
Up to my eyes
Blood tears I've cried
God saved me, He's my release
4. Infinite Rebirth 4:11
Infinite rebirth
I am
Reborn
New creation
Die to self and leave all you believed to be the truth but wasn't
See what you can be when you're wiped clean and given a new life
Do you ever wonder if you die forever?
Does it ever feel like your life's going nowhere?
If you want to flee hell, bow down, and surrender
Salvation is granted to all Christ believers
Hell is promised for all liars and deceivers
Repentance and prayer begins the ascension
Do you ever wonder if you live forever?
Does it ever feel like our souls must go somewhere?
If you want to see God, bow down, and surrender
To be free, you must leave your old self, your old ways, and your mistakes
Come to see you must be born again and to live in repentance
When you pray, you will see the Lord move in your life, in your spirit
Unchained love you never knew you had will surface, at no limit
Call on He, evil flees, you will see He offers full protection
All you need is to see God is calling you into connection
Die to self and leave all you believed to be the truth but wasn't
See what you can be when you're wiped clean and given a new life
Do you ever wonder if you die forever?
Does it ever feel like your life's going nowhere?
If you want to flee hell, bow down, and surrender
Salvation is granted to all Christ believers
Hell is promised for all liars and deceivers
Repentance and prayer begins the ascension
Do you ever wonder if you live forever?
Does it ever feel like our souls must go somewhere?
If you want to see God, bow down, and surrender
To be free, you must leave your old self, your old ways, and your mistakes
Come to see you must be born again and to live in repentance
When you pray, you will see the Lord move in your life, in your spirit
Unchained love you never knew you had will surface, at no limit
Call on He, evil flees, you will see He offers full protection
All you need is to see God is calling you into connection
5. Loss 3:20
6. Workers Of Iniquity 3:45
Do they know not what they see?
Workers of iniquity
Watch them, watch them as they feed
On us like the bread they eat (Psalms 14:4)
Will they ever stop?
Will they ever cease?
How can they repeat?
Will they ever know?
Will they ever see?
How can they believe?
Will they ever stop?
Will they ever cease?
How can they repeat?
Will they ever know?
Will they ever see?
How can they believe?
Wicked, their deeds infect like a cancer
A remedy found in Jesus, conqueror of all that is evil
They fall in His presence
Depart from me and I never knew you (Matthew 7:23)
The last words He spoke to you
Spoke to you
Do they know not what they see?
Workers of iniquity
Watch them, watch them as they feed
On us like the bread they eat
Will they ever stop?
Will they ever cease?
How can they repeat?
Will they ever know?
Will they ever see?
How can they believe?
Will they ever stop?
Will they ever cease?
How can they repeat?
Will they ever know?
Will they ever see?
How can they believe?
Wicked, their deeds infect like a cancer
A remedy found in Jesus, conqueror of all that is evil
They fall in His presence
Depart from me and I never knew you
The last words He spoke to you
Spoke to you
7. The Crucifixion 3:29
Oh how they all laughed and scorned
As Jesus bore the crown of thorns
And how they cheered in loud display
As nails were driven all the way
Through hands and feet to crimson wood
Blood dripping down to where they stood
Bruised and beat and bleeding red
The Christ, the King, is nailed and dead
The corpse of Jesus now entombed
The worry of His promise loomed
Three days of silence prophesied
For Jesus Christ to die then rise
The stone was moved, the entrance clear
No one, no body did appear
No mortal man could launch this feat
The prophecy is now complete
Death to life, the Messiah rose
Greatest act of love anyone has known
For He loved the world, gave His only Son
Conqueror of death, Mighty Holy One
Blood was spilled and the promise kept
Of eternal life for all who accept
Now that sin's conquered, the Messiah reigns
Everlasting life, the gift that remains
For He loved the world, gave His only Son
Conqueror of death, Mighty Holy One
Now that Jesus gave his life
He now can dwell in you and I
The Holy Ghost has set us free
From pain and sin and misery
Eternal life in paradise
Paid by the blood of Jesus Christ
8. Race Against Time 2:37
Time is money, time is precious, time is taken, passing by
Time is always of the essence, always moving, taking time
Time is passed and time is spent, time is checked and time is bent
Time is lost or on your side, time will never wait with tide
Whoa
Now
Slow
Down
Always busy in the action, always racing with my life
Always rushing after something, always agitated strife
Pump the brakes and drop the anchor, as the sun sets in the west
"Come unto me, heavy laden, and I'll always give you rest" (Matthew 11:28)
(Now you see I'm running out of time and space)
(I return to the void)
I have been overtaken by my selfish way of life, and I cry thinking "Why haven't I gave Him more attention?"
Always racing against time
Time is money, time is precious, time is taken, passing by
Time is always of the essence, always moving, taking time
Time is passed and time is spent, time is checked and time is bent
Time is lost or on your side, time will never wait with tide
Whoa
Now
Slow
Down
Always busy in the action, always racing with my life
Always rushing after something, always agitated strife
Pump the brakes and drop the anchor, as the sun sets in the west
"Come unto me, heavy laden, and I'll always give you rest"
I have been overtaken by my selfish way of life, and I cry thinking "Why haven't I gave Him more attention?"
Always racing against time
I have been overtaken by my selfish way of life, and I cry thinking "Why haven't I gave Him more attention?"
There's no point of racing against time
9. Antivenom 2:58
Lie to my face
Grab my eyes
Turn them from the truth
Convince me I'm a failure
Whisper poison in my ears
Planting seeds of fear
Keep me locked in this prison
Lies from the serpent, forked-tongue venom spit
Seeding the fear and the fervent fever pitch
Venomous, the snips and the bites from the enemy
Slithering inside my mind, twisting everything
Wrapped around my hopes and dreams with a serpent's grip
Tearing through my conscience, logic starts to rip
Serpentine oculars behind my eyes
They see through the darkest faithless times
Lie to my face
Grab my eyes
Turn them from the truth
Convince me I'm a failure
Whisper poison in my ears
Planting seeds of fear
Keep me locked in this prison
Jesus, set me free
Wash me clean and make my pain numb
Heal my wounds that bleed
Jesus is my anti-venom
Jesus, set me free
Wash me clean and free my torment
Heal my wounds that bleed
Seize the snake, behead my enemy
Truth from the Scriptures, read through, digested
Prayers to the Father, call to protection
Submission to God, faith entrusted
Resist the devil, he flees, chains busted (James 4:7)
Grasping at the serpent, blade out, time to die
Piercing through scales, insides on the outside
Serpent decapitated, Satan dies
I see through the doubt, deceit, and lies
10. In Times Of Grace 3:10
Hard To Love (single, August 6, 2021, Independent) (Digital)
1. Hard To Love 4:31
I cannot pretend that the anger will not rise again
Until I reach the end of time, there will be anger in my life
In my heart, I wish to care but the feeling isn't always there
Pray for grace from God above, I understand it's hard to love
And hearts will break
I think it's crazy how hard it can be to love my neighbor
Can't even love me
Please forgive me when I don't meet the standard given
You hold on me
Me, how can I love?
Just look around
At the world, all the people bowing down
False idols rise, truth is excised
Structures of power disguised
True are the few, guiding the sheep
Safe from the wolves as they creep
Seeking to love, wanting to care
Even when love is not there
I cannot pretend that the anger will not rise again
Until I reach the end of time, there will be anger in my life
In my heart, I wish to care but the feeling isn't always there
Pray for grace from God above, I understand it's hard to love
And hearts will break
Loving, not an easy action
Not my first reaction
Hatred of the world, ever-flowing
Angry, wound up high-strung tension
Never my intention
Passion is my soul, overflowing
Me, how can I love?
Just look around
At the world, all the people bowing down
False idols rise, truth is excised
Structures of power disguised
True are the few, guiding the sheep
Safe from the wolves as they creep
Seeking to love, wanting to care
Even when love is not there
All of this anger
Has consumed me the last time
You will never see
Malice eating away my mind
I've despised and I've cried and I've bled it out till I'm dry
Don't you think that I've tried it all
Not to drop the weight of my hateful thoughts
Now I live my life to love
I cannot pretend that the anger will not rise again
Until I reach the end of time, there will be anger in my life
In my heart, I wish to care but the feeling isn't always there
Pray for grace from God above, I understand it's hard to love
And hearts will break

1. He Is Coming 5:44
He is coming
Whole world waiting
Ancient promise
The prophetic Word has been written out
He is coming back with a vengeance to pour out
God's wrath and to save His people
Come back, Jesus
Take us with You
Cast out Satan
Take us with You
The dead shall rise
At the trump of God
We shall arise
Once the Savior's here
He is coming
Whole world waiting
Ancient promise
The prophetic Word has been written out
He is coming back with a vengeance to pour out
God's wrath and to save His people
Come back, Jesus
Take us with You
Cast out Satan
Take us with You
The dead shall rise
At the trump of God
We shall arise
The Messiah's here
2. Desolate In Wonder 2:42
Walking the streets alone
City streets, dark and cold
Buildings that scrape the sky
Half-lit windows
Watching the cars go by
Blurs of red, orange, white
Thinking of all their many destinations
Desolate
In this crowded world I still feel all alone and faith
Barely here and
Desolate
In this crowded world I still feel all alone and faith
Barely breathing
Walking the streets alone
City streets, dark and cold
Buildings that scrape the sky
Half-lit windows
Watching the cars go by
Blurs of red, orange, white
Thinking of all their many destinations
Searching for Your voice in my ears
Looking for You in the sky
I still feel You when I'm praying
Closer still, my one desire
Let me hear Your precious voice and
Draw me near and coax my eyes
Raise me to Thy right hand, Father
Lift me up and make clear my life's purpose
3. Under The Star Of Remphan 4:03
All nations deceived
Under the Star of Remphan
Symbol of false gods
Grafted unto David
All nations deceived
Under the Star of Remphan
Scriptures are ignored
Evil is explored
Ye took up the house of Moloch
And the star of your god
Figures that ye made to worship
Carry you to Babylon
Spreading lies of Jesus Christ
Deception in the land
Traditions over God's command
Mashiach is at hand
Servants of the Antichrist
Disguised as holy beings
Trapping minds with wicked lies
And tugging at your feelings
Spreading filth on stolen land
Oppressing the opposed
Paid off every institution
Politicians are all owned
Pushing post-war propaganda
Saying it's all truth
Claiming to be chosen ones
Just lie through every tooth
Servants of the Antichrist
Disguised as holy beings
Trapping minds with wicked lies
And tugging at your feelings
Lies, great deception
Mass Insurrection
Consciousness is rising
Empires will rise and fall but Jesus Christ will conquer all
And on the swords they attack us with, they'll fall upon like grapes on sticks
Ye took up the house of Moloch
And the star of your god
Figures that ye made to worship
Carry you to Babylon
Spreading lies of Jesus Christ
Deception in the land
Traditions over God's command
Mashiach is at hand
Servants of the Antichrist
Disguised as holy beings
Trapping minds with wicked lies
And tugging at your feelings
4. Total War: Armageddon 3:43
Steel vultures circle the sky
Crimson spray and carcasses fly
Run and hide from bombing runs
Men mowed down by belt-fed guns
Steel and blood strewn across the land
Murder and death all on demand
Lead shoots out across enemy lines
Limbs blown off by 'nades and mines
This is Armageddon, Total War
This is Armageddon, Final Conflict
This is Armageddon, End of Days
This is Armageddon, Total War
This is Armageddon, Final Conflict
This is Armageddon, Wrath of God
An army approaches
With their bodies cloaked in light
To resist the Beast
And to put up the final fight
As all the armies of the Beast crawl from their holes
And as the wicked take their side, we cast them down
With the power of divine authority
Put on the whole armor of God that you may stand
Against the wiles of Satan and his darkened plans
To destroy Logos and the steal our covenant with God
RESIST THEM ALL
Steel vultures circle the sky
Crimson spray and carcasses fly
Run and hide from bombing runs
Men mowed down by belt-fed guns
Steel and blood strewn across the land
Murder and death all on demand
Lead shoots out across enemy lines
Limbs blown off by 'nades and mines
This is Armageddon, Total War
This is Armageddon, Final Conflict
This is Armageddon, End of Days
This is Armageddon, Total War
This is Armageddon, Final Conflict
This is Armageddon, Wrath of God
5. After The Tribulation 3:06
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue shall now confess that He is worthy, He is Lord
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue shall now confess that He is worthy, He is Lord
Now the end is nigh
The Kingdom is at hand
All believers are awaiting His return
Go and tell the world
Tell them by His blood we are saved
And sin, forgiven
Holy Name, Jesus Christ
Waiting, final breaths
Keep breathing, and we'll watch the sky
Darkened, sun and moon
In darkness, stars will shed their light
No one can know the day or the hour
One shall be left and another one gone
Do not be caught by the Master asleep
Or there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth
Split the heavens
Shone like lightning 'cross the sky
His glory evident to every eye
Redemption for the souls in His keep
Our vindication: He separates the goats from the sheep
No land can be prepared for this latter day, great catastrophe
When powers of the air will unite and burst out the canopy
And the prince shall reign all throughout his closing day rebellion
But fear will not pertain those awaiting Christ our Lord's Millennium
Kneel to your king in heaven, praise His name out loud
Kneel to your king in heaven, and rejoice in the sound
6. White Light 3:00
Trumpets announce the second coming of our savior, in clouds
Final prophecy and
Light shines through dark to illuminate the King in His brilliant majesty
We ascend
White light to guide me home from my earth journey
We ascend
White light to bring us to our resting place
Where I see Jesus face-to-face
We rejoice as we ascend
We rejoice as we meet the Savior
We rejoice as we ascend
We rejoice as we meet our Maker
We rejoice as we ascend
We rejoice as we meet the Savior
We rejoice as we ascend
We rejoice as we meet our Maker
WE'RE FINALLY HOME

1. Unveiling The Sepulcher 4:01
Three days behind stone, entombed
Until an angel had removed
The stone to plug the tomb inside
The resting place of Jesus Christ
The King is risen
Now they heard the mourning and weeping of Mary Magdalene
Two angels overshadowing a tomb that did not carry Him
She trembled and fled out to tell the elected eleven of this one event
Christ had conquered death as fulfillment of the New Covenant
For He was crucified to die and later rise up from the grave
To carry out the plan of God for our souls to be saved
Glory to the Risen Son, the Holy Lamb of God
Glory to the one Messiah, conqueror of death and all
Blood was spilled to wash our sins and free our souls from Hell
The Sacrifice for eternal life is now complete and in us, may He dwell
In us, may He dwell
Resurrected King, conquered death to give us life eternal
Resurrected King, conquered death, finished work
Resurrected King, conquered death to give us life eternal
Resurrected King, conquered death, finished work
It is finished, it is done
IT IS FINISHED
2. Dunamis 3:49
God is my strength
God is my power and
He makes my way
Perfect every day
Parted sea
Dry as bone beneath
Masterpiece
Power in His blood
Power in His name
Power in His mercy
Power in His presence
Power once you let it in
Never be the same again
One ultimate force
True source of strength
One authority
Kneel to the King
Power once you let it in
Never be the same again
God is my strength
God is my power and
He makes my way
Perfect every day
Parted sea
Dry as bone beneath
Masterpiece
Power in His blood
Power in His name
Power in His mercy
Power in His presence
Power once you let it in
Never will you live the same life
Holy God, holy and mighty, holy Immortal One, have mercy
Holy God, holy and mighty, holy Immortal One, have mercy on us
3. Abandoned 3:18
You left me all alone
In this world, left to fight
Looking back into my past, I'm still surprised I'm alive
A mother sees her baby, looks him right in the eyes
Then decides this baby boy just isn't worth all her time
Abandonment
Growing up without a mother, just a kid
Can't bury this, what it did to my whole life's existence
My punishment? Was it my fault you didn't want me anyways
Can't cope with this
The only hope for me is prayer and forgiveness
Angels took me in, gave me a chance at life
They kept me safe at night, ensured that I would rise
And angels took me in, gave me a chance at life
They bore the love of Christ dwelling deep down inside
Angels took me in, gave me a chance at life
They kept me safe at night, ensured that I would rise
And angels took me in, gave me a chance at life
They bore the love of Christ dwelling deep down inside
Father left the picture too and mother didn't act alone
Idols took their flesh, consumed their minds like a disease
Neglect caused irreparable damage to my psyche
Without a dad, a lonely son grows confused and inadequate
Angels took me in, gave me a chance at life
They kept me safe at night, ensured that I would rise
And angels took me in, gave me a chance at life
They bore the love of Christ dwelling deep down inside
4. Gaza 2:28
Bombs fall like rain in the land of the occupation
Hell from above, pouring death on the innocent
Bulldozers ride through the streets, aiming for destruction
Homes of civilians, now casualties, demolished
The Holy Land under attack
As bullets fly out, the children scream
The bloody scene is like a brutal nightmare
Hear the resistance shout
Across the walls built to divide but they will never conquer
Your time has come, it's time to meet your downfall
The turning tide will crash and fall and then it's judgment day
For all you've down
May God bring justice like a Sword
Bombs fall like rain in the land of the occupation
Hell from above, pouring death on the innocent
Bulldozers ride through the streets, aiming for destruction
Homes of civilians, now casualties, demolished
The Holy Land under attack
Your unholy war, imperialistic
Not akin to the fulfillment of prophecy
Your unholy war shall be your nation's downfall
5. Opioid 3:21
One more
Gotta get my fix for just
One more
Chance to feel the weightlessness
One more
Zombie to produce and then
One more
Prescription to ensure your return
You'll return
You'll return as I pray
Bow down
And kneel before it
Your golden idol's got you bowing on the floor and you
Bow down
Feeling euphoric
Until it fades, can't go two days, I need to kill my pain
Addiction, bound me like a slave
Evil thoughts race through my brain
I'll do what it takes, don't you get in my way
As I have become what I denied would be today
Addiction, paid me like a king
I'll just write another 'script and then you'll kiss the ring
I'll do what it takes, don't you get in my way
After all this good doctor has just got to be paid
Opioid
Addiction, bound me like a slave
Evil thoughts race through my brain
I'll do what it takes, don't you get in my way
As I have become what I denied would be today
Addiction, paid me like a king
I'll just write another 'script and then you'll kiss the ring
I'll do what it takes, don't you get in my way
After all this good doctor has just got to be paid
Opioid

(Instrumental)
7. Ripped From Life 3:07
Laid down, legs are open wide
Now comes metal speculum into the
Cervix, forced dilation
The vacuum tube now deep inside
To suck out the life that's still inside
The heart beating still is quite alive
Surgical removal of a fetus
Murdering new life
My body my choice, your time to die
You only live once, say goodbye
My body my choice, your time to die
You only live once, say goodbye
Indecision pushed this date with death back just to make it worse
Forceps forced inside to rip each limb out, bleeding from inside
Decision to kill left only two victims, one ripped from life
8. Re-Connection 4:12
Wandering the desert alone, I search for the answers
Wondering if I will find the meaning in this life
I know everything I need to get by on my own terms
The church left me feeling jaded, don't need God anyway
Wandering the desert alone, I search for the answers
Wondering if I will find the meaning in this life
Bad luck was always just a shadow
Depression filled my mind
Knowledge only left me empty
Can't fill the void inside
Re-connect to the Father again
Re-connection
Re-connect to the Father again
Re-connection
Father, take me back
Father, take my hand
I want to know you more and more
I want to feel you in my soul
Bless me with your mercy
I am only unworthy
Bless me with your forgiveness
I will not stray again
Wandering the desert alone, I search for the answers
Wondering if I will find the meaning in this life
I knew nothing that I needed, to get through life at all
Knowledge served as an illusion, my pride, it caused my fall
Wandering the desert alone, I search for the answers
Wonder if I will find the meaning in this life
Bad luck was always just a shadow
Depression filled my mind
Knowledge only left me empty
Can't fill the void inside
Father, take me back
Father, take my hand
I want to know you more and more
I want to feel you in my soul
9. Harvest Of Despair 3:46
Independence feared
Attack on sovereignty and
Like the wheat that's sheared
The working class is cut down
And swept in fear as communism rises
Hammers and their sickles stretch the sky
As wicked leaders take their place
Bolshevism's son
Unwanted governance
Yet evil took the reigns
Trampling citizens
Starvation weaponized
Control the population
Hammers and their sickles stretch the sky
As wicked leaders' desperation for control becomes a genocidal plot to control all
Independence feared
Attack on sovereignty and
Like the wheat that's sheared

And swept in fear as communism rises
Hammers and their sickles stretch the sky
As wicked leaders take their place
Bolshevism's son
Unwanted governance
Yet evil took the reigns
Trampling citizens
Starvation weaponized
Control the population
Hammers and their sickles stretch the sky
As wicked leaders march to Hell
An innocent people, betrayed and oppressed
A force of evil, centered around their own greed
Totalitarian ideals forcing death upon the nation
Forced to slave away for their evil overlords
Innocent lives lost for the sake of another's financial gain
Independence feared
Attack on sovereignty and
Like the wheat that's sheared
The working class is cut down
And swept in fear as communism rises
Hammers and their sickles stretch the sky
As wicked leaders take their place
Bolshevism's son
Unwanted governance
Yet evil took the reigns
Trampling citizens
Starvation weaponized
Control the population
Hammers and their sickles stretch the sky
As wicked leaders' desperation for control becomes a genocidal plot to control all
You will pay the price
For all the lives you've taken
You will pay the price
And then it's judgment time
You will pay the price
Expect incineration
The spirit of evil behind this has not yet been laid to rest
10. Only Hope 3:24
Jesus will come back
When you least expect it
But it's coming soon, better believe it
Will you repent before you leave here and your whole life's spent and gone?
God, take me in
I can't wait much longer trapped within a fallen world
God, take me in
I can't wait much longer trapped within this shell of my mortality

1. Rolandskvadet 4:16
Seks mine jarlar heime vera, gøyme det gullet balde
Andre seks på heidningalando då svinga dei jørni kalde!
Rida dei ut av Franklandet met dyre dros I sadel
Bles I luren Olivant på Ronsalavollen
Runde dei opp sine silkje segl høgt I sigalråe
Sigla dei ut åt hei'ingslondo I virkevikune ein og tvåe
Rida dei ut av Franklandet met dyre dros I sadel
Bles I luren Olivant på Ronsalavollen
Arene og ankaret tok inn på kvite sanden
Det var Roland, konungafredan, trødde den fysste på land
Rida dei ut av Franklandet met dyre dros I sadel
Bles I luren Olivant på Ronsalavollen
Slogest dei utpå Ronsarvollen I dagane två og trjå
Blåmennan fall for Rolandssverd som gav seg fyri ljåe
Rida dei ut av Franklandet met dyre dros I sadel
Bles I luren Olivant på Ronsalavollen
Fram så søkte blåmann-fjødi skygde fyri sole
Reddast var ein jamningen bad Roland blåse I hornet
Rida dei ut av Franklandet met dyre dros I sadel
Bles I luren Olivant på Ronsalavollen
Roland sette luren fyr blogga munn, så bles han I med vreide
Ljoden ber ivi hav og fjell, I trio dagar av leide
Rida dei ut av Franklandet met dyre dros I sadel
Bles I luren Olivant på Ronsalavollen
Det var Magnus kongjen, no set han I å gråta
Kva tru vantar freden min? No høyrer eg luren låta!
Rida dei ut av Franklandet met dyre dros I sadel
Bles I luren Olivant på Ronsalavollen
Det var Magnus konjen
Skundar han sin fred
Daud låg Roland konunga-freden
Heldt I han sitt sverd
Rida dei ut av Franklandet met dyre dros I sadel
Bles I luren Olivant på Ronsalavollen
Heim kom Magnus kongjen
Og settest dei alle traude
Skipet var fullt av sylv og gull
Og heidningan låg att daude
Rida dei ut av Franklandet med dyre dros I sadel
Bles I luren Olivant på Ronsalavollen

1. Beyond The Eye 3:45
Your eyes deceive you
You cannot see the bigger picture; reality
This is not real, this cannot be
Hallucination, took for a ride by tricks of light
And when we travel forward, in current space and time
May we trust in our maker and not with blinded eyes
The Lord sees not as a man sees, man looks to the outside
The Lord looks on the heart and appearance is not always as it seems to be
And their blinded eyes, still staring still
Just like Bethsaida, restoration of sight
Jesus has laid on hands and brought vision to the blind
We too can see more clearly if we trust Jesus Christ
Our eyes alone deceive us, sensory data weakness
The Lord sees not as a man sees, man looks to the outside
The Lord looks on the heart and appearance is not always as it seems to be
Beyond the eyes, lies the unseen
Hidden things we believe, mysteries so serene
A world of wonder, we call our home
Through the veil, we catch a glimpse
Defying order
The darkness beckons
Propelling forward
Our fate is sealed
Illusions lurk in every corner and bend
Mysteries of life we cannot comprehend
The unknown haunts, a terror that's real
Our minds deceived, what can we feel?
My veil is thin, so hard to grasp
Evil lurks, in every path
Evil lurks, in every path
2. Roots Like Veins 5:02
The veins inside our bodies are another sign
That points to God's creation, His perfect design
The roots beneath the trees and dendrites in our cells
Life-force directed and used to bring life to these shells
Even the lines of an orange, after you've peeled inside
Remind me of the perfection of our God's design
These roots like veins, sinking deep into the flow of life
Marvelous revelation of how we're all tied
I would wander lost in search of signs that point to God
And I found nothing, nothing
Now I clearly see and I see my God in everything
And I doubt nothing, nothing
The veins inside our bodies are another sign
That points to God's creation, His perfect design
The roots beneath the trees and dendrites in our cells
Life-force directed and used to bring life to these shells
Even the lines of an orange, after you've peeled inside
Remind me of the perfection of our God's design
These roots like veins, sinking deep into the flow of life
Marvelous revelation of how we're all tied
Fractals in the trees and fractals in my veins
Fractals in the sky and fractals digging deep into the earth
The veins inside our bodies are another sign
That points to God's creation, His perfect design
The roots beneath the trees and dendrites in our cells
Life-force directed and used to bring life to these shells
Even the lines of an orange, after you've peeled inside
Remind me of the perfection of our God's design
These roots like veins, sinking deep into the flow of life
Marvelous revelation of how we're all tied
I would wander lost in search of signs that point to God
And I found nothing, nothing
Now I clearly see and I see my God in everything
And I doubt nothing, nothing
Fractals in the trees and fractals in my veins
Fractals in the sky and fractals digging deep into the earth
God is found in everything, uniting us to earth and to ourselves

4. Vampires Among Us 3:28
Wandering the dead of the night
They're running from the light
To seek blood and to feed on all our life-force
They've come to take a bite
To drain you of your life
The solution is clear; behold the crucifix
Wretched and parasitic, existence is based on leeching off a host
And lacking all symbiosis, these creatures will only take what they can
And feeding is all that matters
Survival is just a bite to the neck
And keeping to the shadows
In secret, these vampires hide from the light all night
We let them in
We kept them here
They'll hunt with spite
Until we turn on the light
Wandering the dead of the night
They're running from the light
To seek blood and to feed on all our life-force
They've come to take a bite
To drain you of your life
The solution is clear; behold the crucifix
Minions controlled by Satan
Vampires among us feed off our sins
Until we all seek repentance
Sin-nature something will bind us to our leeches
Living with the mosquitos, our sinning has only moistened the swamps
And if we don't band together, vampires will hunt us one by one by one
5. Completion Of Sanctification 3:44
Life begins the process of finding why we are here and where we go next
Death completes the cycle, but only one of the keys unlocks the door of life
Cycles begin again, of searching through all the keys to find the one that fits
And as we sin again, the grace of God covers all who will repent and follow Him
One key will fit the lock
One way to live again
One name above all names
Jesus Christ, the way and truth and life
One key will fit the lock
One way to live again
One name above all names
Jesus Christ, the conqueror of death
There will come a time for you to stand for
Everything that you believe and what you came to die for
All will have to come before the King in all His glory
To give account for everything that happened in this story
Sanctified
Sin
Repent
Repeat
Sin
Repent
Repeat
We need a change of heart
I ask the Holy Spirit descend upon my life
Fill me with your grace O Lord
We need a change of mind
Blessed son, pour blood
Sanctification
Cycles begin again, of searching through all the keys to find the one that fits
And as we sin again, the grace of God covers all who will repent and follow Him
One key will fit the lock
One way to live again
One name above all names
Jesus Christ, the way and truth and life

6. The Fallout 3:47
Sinners at first bite
We were born into this world of sin
All creation forced to grapple with
Forces of the darkness of this world
And we must fight
Rise up now, you sons and daughters
Sin can never win as long as we hold Christ inside
Conqueror of sin within us
We are the heirs of a fallen existence
We are the ones who must battle with sin
Lies of the serpent and his persuasions
Tempting us all but we cannot let him win
Smash the serpent's head
Decapitate the beast with the Sword of His Word
Kill the serpent dead
Authority to cast out the snake and his lies
The fall of eden set the stage
For our tragedy of life to take place
The fallout permeates all the air
As we breathe the sin, blackening our life's existence

7. Sharpening The Iron 3:46
Through the fire, refined as silver and after, tried as gold
They shall call His name and He will hear them, Lord my God
Chosen in the furnace of affliction, He's chosen us
Far beyond material, His trying is of our hearts
Sharpening the iron that's inside, a friendly countenance
Stronger every time the iron's stricken, new competence
Thicker skin to wrap around our insides, shield against the vain offense of men
Gains are made and then are surely paid by a humble price of struggle and of pain
Striking, rising of the flames and
Forming, forged by the hand of God
Through the fire, refined as silver and after, tried as gold
They shall call His name and He will hear them, Lord my God
Chosen in the furnace of affliction, He's chosen us

Forming, forged by the hand of God
Striking, rising of the flames and
Forming, forged by the hand of God
Chink in your armor
But here is where I stand
Uphold His righteousness
I call you to be a better man
It takes two to spar
Forged by fire, cooled by grace
Evidence of scars
Sharpening the iron that's inside, a friendly countenance
Stronger every time the iron's stricken, new competence
Thicker skin to wrap around our insides, shield against the vain offense of men
Gains are made and then are surely paid by a humble price of struggle and of pain

1. Gaza II 4:54
Death toll on the rise
Paid-off politicians lie
Children run and hide
Terror from the smoky skies
Families try to flee
Militarized killing spree
Imperialist
Zio-sadomasochist
Bombs fall on the only place to hide
Sniped inside a church
Enter mass, leave in a hearse
Hospitals destroyed
White phosphorus deployed
Schools are under siege
Gunning down the refugees
Don't dare proselytize
At best do time
At worst they'll end your life
And then watch you die
Death litters the streets
Scorched bodies
This is a genocide
Watch it before your eyes
God have mercy, God have mercy
Thousands have lost their lives
To an occupation that's expanding into territories
Designed to clear the land
Replacing innocent people with body bags
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free
God willing, God willing
Chronologiclasm (EP, May 3, 2024, Independent) (CD-R, Digital)
1. A Day: A Thousand Years 4:38
Cannot turn back time
And the hands cycle forward
The gears still crank and spin
Anticipation is onward
With my past in rear-vision
I cannot change mistakes I've made through my own decisions
Falling sands still allow a future to shift sails into a current of now
(Keep sailing on!)
Thousand years in a day
The time and space locked in this plane seem further away
One day is a thousand years away
Last days, quickly turning the page
Those who have left won't have much time left to wait
One day is a thousand years away
Last days, quickly turning the page
Those we lost while we were here on this earth
Won't wait because a thousand years are a day
It won't be long before we reunite
And share the glory of the heavens above
In the end, when our souls are with God
And our bodies sleep for eternity
We wake to see the ones we loved in this place
'Cause a thousand years are like a single day
Time and space redefined
Feel my spirit eyes adjust to the light now
Perception of time on earth is blind
To the chronological reality
That our time in heaven never ends
Time and space exist within the Father's hands
Those we lost while we were here on this earth
Won't wait because a thousand years are a day
It won't be long before we reunite
And share the glory of the heavens above
In the end, when our souls are with God
And our bodies sleep for eternity
We wake to see the ones we loved in this place
'Cause a thousand years are like a single day
Time and space redefined
Feel my spirit eyes adjust to the light now
2. Slaves 3:36
In the blind pursuit of happiness, we have enslaved ourselves
Seeking liberation just to wind up even more confined
Plastic and inanimate like products laid out on the shelf
Fake and wrapped and walking down the street with noses held up high
Enslaved to the system
That just wants to treat you like you're cattle
To be slaughtered once your value has all been extorted
Will you break free knowing that the truth will set you free
Free your soul from bondage
Free your mind and see that our sins have been our prisons
This world so inverted, good is bad and bad is good and
This world so inverted, hated for just speaking on the truth
(The truth) shall set you free
Consume living water
In the blind pursuit of happiness, we have enslaved ourselves
Seeking liberation just to wind up even more confined
Plastic and inanimate like products laid out on the shelf
Fake and wrapped and walking down the street with noses held up high
Slaves without their knowing
Chains unseen by human eyes
Kneeling for their masters
Idols have deceived their hearts
We are not born slaves
Destiny is freedom found in Christ
Let this world pass away
Sin can only bind you if you let it rule
3. Graveclothes 4:14
We're just waiting to die
Existence an illusion
Our destinies are written with a fatal conclusion
We seep into dirt, decaying
Our spirits leave our bodies
No intention of staying on this earth
Agelessness, an illusion
We're just waiting to die
We rise from the dirt, in spirit
To come before the judgment throne and spill out our deeds as flesh
Living every day like the last and never going back to that life of sin
(Of sin)
Though we all must die, there's so much meaning in this life
Here while we're breathing tonight
Agelessness, an illusion
We're just waiting to die
I am not afraid to die
I am not afraid, afraid to die
I am not afraid, afraid to die
I am not afraid, afraid to die
Living life with purpose and in faith prepares me for the end and
I am not afraid to die, I am not afraid
To die
I am not afraid
I am not afraid to die
I am not
Living live with purpose and in faith prepares me and I have no fear
We rise from the dirt, in spirit
Ascension to the afterlife and into the Kingdom of Grace
Agelessness, an illusion
We're just waiting to die
We seep into dirt, decaying
Our spirits leave our bodies
No intention of staying on this earth
Living every day like the last and never going back to that life of sin
(Of sin)
Though we all must die, there's so much meaning in this life
Here while we're breathing tonight
4. Death To False Gods 3:26
Woe unto those who have come to steal the promise
And to lead you all astray
All illegitimate but glorified in the world in popularity
Lies told from the pulpits of wicked men
With agendas to enrich themselves
Wolves in sheep's skin
Death to false gods
Twisting the Word for their gain
Will you see behind the veil and lies if you don't know the Word
Or will you fall for every trick to remain inside the herd
This is a call to all who seek the truth
And this is a call to get into the Word
So all is revealed and exposed in the light of truth
Those deceived shall break off chains of lies
Will you see behind the veil and lies if you don't know the Word
Or will you fall for every trick to remain inside the herd
Judgment will come to those who lie in vain
The sword will fall on those who twist His words
And all is revealed in the end of these things and the ones
Who perverted the Word will suffer in flames

5. Gaza II 4:54
Death toll on the rise
Paid-off politicians lie
Children run and hide
Terror from the smoky skies
Families try to flee
Militarized killing spree
Imperialist
Zio-sadomasochist
Bombs fall on the only place to hide
Sniped inside a church
Enter mass, leave in a hearse
Hospitals destroyed
White phosphorus deployed
Schools are under siege
Gunning down the refugees
Don't dare proselytize
At best do time
At worst they'll end your life
And then watch you die
Death litters the streets
Scorched bodies
This is a genocide
Watch it before your eyes
God have mercy, God have mercy
Thousands have lost their lives
To an occupation that's expanding into territories
Designed to clear the land
Replacing innocent people with body bags
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free
God willing, God willing
