ORIGINAL VERSION
1. Crosshope 3:49
Cross
Symbol of death
Symbol of life
Long time ago
One man died
Lived without sin
Didn't deserve to die
But because of us
He was crucified
Hope
Reason to live
Kills desperate suffer
Amazing grace
Wants to offer
After death
Life in Heaven
No sin, no pain
Rejoice forever
2. Thinking 4:40
I've searched for hope from the ways of men
From the mazes of those hectic nations
And what have I found? Sun and happiness?
Or eternal moonlight, eternal sadness?
I've seen all those lands and people so far
Whose children had to born into the midst of war
Their homes were burned down by the hate of brothers
And the women were raped right under their eyes
So many ships sailing at those cold-watered seas
All those planes on the sky, will the bombing never cease?
So many catastrophes with countless innocent victims
All those bleak tears left behind by sadness
Questions asked, never answered
Hearts without love, not being cared
What is this senselessness of life?
Thinking, but do I have to cry?
3. Tribal Eagle 3:19
Tribal Eagle with no wings
You cannot fly, tied up in skin
You cannot scream, you cannot sing
Sign of freedom, tied up in skin
Tribal Eagle freedom couldn't bring
You are nothing without black ink
Ink as black as your heart of sin
You don't exist without pricks of pin
Pricks of pin cause some ache
Ache for nothing, but one man's pain
Washed away the black ink sin
To your heart, freedom brings
Tribal Eagle, your wings grow strong
With His peace inside, you won't go wrong
Tied up in skin no more you are
A real eagle, fly free, fly far!
4. Blue Moment 4:30
These white snowy regions
Dyed to blue for a moment
Before this cold winter day
Disappears into the dark night
You watch as the sun retreats
Into the gloomy darkness
Of spruce forest
Wondering if it will never find
Its way back to day and light
This is the blue moment of your life
Sad things bring sad feelings
And you don't know if you
Will rise or fall
Is this the end or a start for
Something new?
You approach the gloomy
Embrace of the spruces
I pray that the angels would
Guide your feet
And as you vanish from my sight
I know
Only the Creator of Life
Can heal your heart
You roam at the edge
Of death's icy chasm
But even then you won't slip
You won't step astray
Soon you'll find a bridge
And cross the chasm
Between the branches
You'll see the
Glimmer of day
Glimmer of light
Glimmer of hope
Glimmer of Christ

1. Street Corner Queen 3:00
In the evening she stands in the corner of street
Every single night, she is a street corner queen
With so many like her, she is selling the love
But still she knows it's not love at all
If you'd stay beside her and listen to her heart
Maybe you'd hear what is her little spark
She's waiting that there will come a day
With a prince on a white mount
Taking her away
From the midst of all that dirt and filth
He knows her past, he doesn't judge or punish
Just looks in her eyes and loves her so much
Just looks in her, in her eyes and loves
If you'd stay beside her and listen to her heart
Maybe you'd hear what is her little spark
She's waiting that there will come a day
With a prince on a white mount
Taking her away
Would would tell her that the Prince is already here
Waiting for a chance to save her from that misery
The Son of God who wouldn't let her fall
But loves her with a love that can change that all
Love her with a love her with a love her with a love her with a love
2. Drug Lord 2:13
Could someone tell me who took away
The light from my eyes
I'm walking through my nightmare called life
I don't care if it is day or night
Don't have any plans for the future
My future is dead
I only need my needle, don't need no bread
Deep in my head I know the butcher
Druglord, you stole my soul
Druglord, melted my brains
Druglord, made me a living dead
Don't give your pinkie to Druglord
I walk alone in my colorless world
I run for needle, steal for a trip
Whore for the Druglord, kill for his wish
I am as free as a wingless bird
I've lost my family, I've lost my friends
In this valley of misery cold are the walls
And in my head, House of the Damned calls
Will I follow before it ends
Druglord, you stole my soul
Druglord, melted my brains
Druglord, made me a living dead
Don't give your pinkie to Druglord
Druglord, leave me alone!
3. Spell Of Hell 4:14
"Hell is a totally cool site
So let's go there, all right?"
"I'm gonna party down there all the time
All the pleasures I'll want are mine!"
"Satan has given me his vow,
I'll rule over souls, beneath my feet they'll bow!"
You are all bewitched
Bewitched by the Spell of Hell
Spell of Hell
Spell of Hell will pass
Spell of Hell
Only pain will last
Let me tell you the Spell of Hell
Is just a lite that makes you die
That lie is Satan's crooked tool
He's gonna get you, Hell is not so cool
You think, and Satan thinks you're fool
"No fun in Hell", that's number one rule
And you will not rule over any souls
But suffer under a pain that holds
Spell of Hell
Spell of Hell will pass
Spell of Hell
Only pain will last
There is a way to avoid that place
Escape Satan's trap, enter God's grace
Bathe in the Blood of Christ
Receive forgiveness and new life
Let's get spelled with Christ
Savior, Lord and Light
Let's get spelled with Christ
Who takes away the night
4. The Fall 5:27
He is tired of living in the world of lies
Tired of walking with the boots of lie
Betrayed and crying his destiny
Stucked to last hope, he stucked to death
He betrayed himself and run away
Was afraid of wounds and lost everything
The priest uttered "Rest in peace"
But after death pain starts to scream
His father never loved him at all
Lots of money but never mother's warmth
He wanted to make others feel guilty
Self-destruction, he run away from humanity
He betrayed himself and run away
Was afraid of wounds and lost everything
The priest uttered "Rest in peace"
But after death pain starts to scream
When the fall comes, leaves are dropping
From the trees, onto his grave
He will never feel the peace
That was wished to his soul
He continues his endless running
Screaming his pain into eternity
5. Empty Shell 4:54
It feels like yesterday
When I decided to turn away
Raised you to the place of God
Respected more than cleansing blood
I built my life with my own will
I became tough, conscience was still
In fever of love I did it all
Counted on you, now I shall fall
Long time I was running blind
It was up to me, I left all behind
You took my all and gave me hell
Wonderworld crushed, I was empty shell
So what I got was worse than nothing
Hurting memories, silent suffering
The shell stands tall and show goes on
But all from inside seems to be gone
Watch me God as I'm creeping back to you
I'm crying for mercy and feeling blue
Open my eyes and make me see
Bless my life and set me free
Long time I was running blind
It was up to me, I left all behind
You took my all and gave me hell
Wonderworld crushed, I was empty shell
6. Human Nature 6:37
Another night in a smoky club in town
Just like yesterday, just like tomorrow
It's the same place & same people
Only the names have been changed
You're on the stage, like you've always been
A shining star, shining the bar
Pick up a pretty lady in the crowd
You think about the night after the show
You point your finger and she gets embarrassed
You wink your eye and now she smiles
You smile too 'cause you know she's willing
Ready to kneel before your feet
That's your human nature, so who am I to criticize?
That's the human nature, sin has blinded your eyes
Tonight - you're not sleeping alone
Tomorrow - she's alone and you - you will be gone
That's your human nature, so who am I to criticize?
That's the human nature, sin has blinded your eyes
You have sex with your ex and have sex with your next
Have sex with miss X if she's got some interest
But next time you wink your eye, takes some time to think about the lie
It's okay to get laid with anyone, anytime
'Cause the True Love waits
Sex gives its best in the holy marriage
True Love waits
Pure when you commit yourself
To the one you really love
True Love waits
No one gets hurt when there is no dirt
True Love waits
And blessed by God are the lovebirds
Who want to fulfill His holy will
7. Bonsai People 5:21
I took at the little tree, standing so patiently
It's got many years of age, but only a bit of size
I take a closer look and I see myself in its leaves
I see the strong trunk of bonsai
It's a real tree, not a frail sapling
That could be swayed by every wind
(In its trunk) many fractures and rings
Into the soil it has pushed its roots
Bonsai people, childlike, humble
Bonsai people, childlike, humble
We should have a strong trunk of faith
We should be no longer babes
Carried here and there, swung back and forth
With every wind of teaching
But grow up in wisdom and understanding
And settle down into the love of Lord
Bonsai people, childlike, humble
Bonsai people, childlike, humble
8. Black Raven 3:19
Dark figure of Black Raven
Has overshadowed my life for so long
Time and again I have cried out to You
Begging for freedom
But when the Raven comes back
It's only me against him - I fall
Black Raven of sin
His nails tearing my heart
Fear kills my yearning for purity
Shame keeps me in cold embrace of filth
Black Raven of sin
It's been said You're the Almighty
Why can't you take off this burden
Fear makes me shiver as I hear
The swish of his black wings
Clenching my fist I try to fight
Just to find myself drowned in the lake of sin
Black Raven of sin
His nails tearing my heart
Fear kills my yearning for purity
Shame keeps me in cold embrace of filth
Black Raven of sin
Through the tears I see my only chance
Turn my eyes away from fear and shame
Cast my glance at the glimmer of Light
I tear myself off the Raven's grasp
Drop my burden into Jesus' light
"I have sinned" with no explain
Dancing in the crimson blood rain
I sing a new song, song of freedom
Black Raven of sin
His nails tearing my heart
Fear kills my yearning for purity
Shame keeps me in cold embrace of filth
Black Raven of sin
9. C.C.R. 4:09
You say hate is rising, death taking over
You've seen the right things, but there's more
The other side of the story
This side is seen with eyes
But there's another reality
Not seen with natural eyes
All this and a lot more
Told in the Book of Eternal Truth
The rise of hate, death and murder
Only beginning for events much greater:
The Great Tribulation and carrying away the Church of Christ
Christ Church Rising
North from here, Heavens
Christ Church Leaving
These mortal landscapes
The Last Judgement, when living and death
Shall be righteously judged
Only ones who can stand before God
Are those whose deeds are seen
Through the blood of Christ
Washed clean - innocent
Christ Church Rising
North from here, Heavens
Christ Church Leaving
These mortal landscapes
Even today Jesus helps agonized mind
Presents the faith for a longing heart
Even today He turns hate into love
Presents the hope instead of despair
Even today you can be forgiven
And God presents you the one-way ticket to...
Christ Church Rising
North from here, Heavens
Christ Church Leaving
These mortal landscapes
10. III 5:53
Ennen syntya muinaisen ajan
Ennen asettamista kuun ja auringon valon
Olit Sina, tiesit tulevan, nait olevan
Ennen syntya Lintujen radan
Ennen kasvua jylhan korven ja salon
Elit Sina, tiesit tulevan, nait olevan
Ikiaikainen olet Sina, Vanhaikainen
Sinussa on Kolme ja Sina olet Yksi
Isa, Poika ja Henki, Jumala Kolminainen
Lausuit sanan, virkoit virkkeen
Synnytit hengen ja materian, kaikkeuden
Loit elaman, nakymattoman ja nakyvaisen
Kotkan kaartelemaan ylle vuorten korkeiden
Suden juoksemaan keskelle lumisten hankien
Seka naita vallitsemaan loit ihmisen
Ikiaikainen olet Sina, Vanhaikainen
Sinussa on Kolme ja Sina olet Yksi
Isa, Poika ja Henki, Jumala Kolminainen
Sina hallitset sen, mita silma ei nae
Sina kasket sita, mita korva ei kuule
Sina ymmarrat sen, mita ajatus ei tavoita
Kadessasi on kaikki, Sinua palvelen
11. Northern Praise 5:22
Jesus Christ, the only Son of God
You are my only Lord, I believe in You
You have died for me so that I might have life
So I will follow You, Jesus, I love You
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, You have set me free
I've got a new life, I will praise Your name
Jesus Christ, the only Son of God
You are my only Lord, I believe in You
You have died for me so that I might have life
So I will follow You, Jesus, I love You
My heart's desire is to obey You
I want to fill Your will, share the Gospel to the world
My heart's desire is to obey You
I want to fill Your will and share the Gospel
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, You have set me free
I've got a new life, I will praise Your name
Lord, give me the words of life
And the power of Your love to be Your shining Light
To show Your lost lambs the way
Their way back home again
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, You have set me free
I've got a new life, I will praise Your name
Jesus, I will praise Your name!
12. Blue Moment 4:29
These white snowy regions
Dyed to blue for a moment
Before this cold winter day
Disappears into the dark night
You watch as the sun retreats

Wondering if it will never find
Its way back to day and light
This is the blue moment of your life
Sad things bring sad feelings
And you don't know if you

1. Whirlwind 3:54
So the plan was too good to waste
I'll just go near and I'll just walk by
I won't take and I won't taste
I'll only watch, no I ain't gonna die
Well, only this time and only this much
After that another and yet one more
It seemed like I was in control and I got the guts
But now what's happening, what am I heading for?
I'm in a whirlwind, whirlwind
Round and round and round I swing
Falling into whirlwind, whirlwind
Deeper and deeper and deeper I spin
What seemed to be innocent is tightening the rope
Now the slave becomes master and the master is a slave
Yeah the slave leads the dance 'cause the master is a dope
The whirls are speeding up and I ain't feeling so brave
I'm in a whirlwind, whirlwind
Round and round and round I swing
Falling into whirlwind, whirlwind
Deeper and deeper and deeper I spin
So the life is too good to waste
I don't wanna fear and I don't wanna cry
I ain't gonna fake so I gotta haste
I wanna get up 'cause I don't wanna die
2. ...To Die And Gain 2:27
Jesus is the Lord of my life
The reason for my being
He lifts me up when I fall
Guides me through this world
To live is Christ
He is the Lord of my life
He is the Lord as I die
For to me as His child
Death's but a step to a new life
I'll meet Him when I cross the line
Death can't take my joy away
To die is gain
He is the Lord of my life
He is the Lord as I die
Jesus is the Lord of my life
The reason for my being
He lifts me up when I fall
Guides me through this world
To live is Christ
He is the Lord of my life
He is the Lord as I die

Sin - more than actions, more than thoughts
Sin - more than feelings, more than words
Sin is what I am - my nature
Still I stand before my God
Holy, righteous and just
Hope He sees me through the blood
For I am ashes and dust
I am a man, fallen and filthy
Completely spoiled, selfish and greedy
The Son of Man, innocent and holy
Shed His blood and paid the penalty
Still I stand before my God
Holy, righteous and just
Hope He sees me through the blood
For I am ashes and dust
I am a part of holy priesthood
Completely forgiven by His Blood
I love no longer, Christ lives in me
In His name saint I can be
Still I stand before my God
Holy, righteous and just
Hope He sees me through the blood
For I am ashes and dust
4. My God 2:36
People come and people go
I keep going against the flow
Too divine or rockin' too loud
Always standing alone in the crowd
They think I've got low I.Q.
'Cause I don't think the way they do
I just want to search and take
Another view to see what is fake
Just me and my God
People come and people go
For people's sake I won't bow
Only thing that matters to me
By Jesus Christ I've been set free
Break the chains and listen to me
True belief will set your free
Dreams of freedom can be true
It's your life, it's up to you
Just me and my God
5. Terminator 2:19
He's the terminator, destroyer of good
He's the beast after me with murder in his eyes
Where could I hide, what could I do?
I know he won't rest 'til one of us has died
Oh yeah, I've tried to escape, to run away
But when I turn around the corner
There he is, staring at my eyes again
The steel cold terminator
Guess I gotta stop hiding
So I jump on my bike, ride like the wind
I smile and think now he will die
Take my shotgun, blow off his head
I turn around and look back at him
Like quicksilver balls, the pieces gathering
Like nothing happened, there he is again
So the battle still keeps raging
I stop to load my guns
Listen to Master's directions
Speed up back to the fight
With His words in my mind
I'm exhausted, hurt and scared
Cannot give up, gotta keep fighting
Remind myself, this war will end
On judgement day the Master comes
Throws him into the burning lake of fire
The terminator will be dead - terminated forever!
6. Statue Of Liberty 2:42
We're marching on, cry out for freedom
We wanna get liberty or death
Do whatever, whenever we want to
We don't see our liberty is dead
Man's freedom, freedom to sin
God's freedom, freedom from sin
Free to stay, no need to pay
Free to leave, we won't bleed
We don't care those crying out there
We're satisfied, when our love died?
We bow down to the statue of liberty
Worshipping our idol of freedom
The problem we don't wanna see
We're slaves to our freedom
The fake freedom
We can only reach true liberty
In the Word of God Almighty
Live by grace, live by forgiveness
Have liberty in all it's fullness
I bow down to my Lord of liberty
Worshipping my God of freedom
He has set me free
From the slavery of my freedom
Freedom...freedom...freedom!
Freedom...freedom...freedom!
7. Comeback 2:01
"Behold, I am coming soon!
I am the A and O
The First and the Last
The Beginning and the End"
Hey, Jesus, come back
Won't you come back
Come back to take me home
"I am the Root
The Offspring of David
The bright Morning Star
Yes, I am coming soon"
Hey, Jesus, come back
Won't you come back
Come back to take me home
8. Fool 2:47
It's not always easy to live this life
It's so much easier to see Paris and die
Well, I haven't seen it yet but maybe some day I will
But today I'd like to ask what kind of man I am?
I am not a man with a sense of humor, I have no jokes to tell
If you get bored, you can go, I won't blame your taste
But if you are curious and you have some time to stay
Please stay and listen to what kind of man I am
I am a fool of Christ
Does it bother you?
I hope it won't and I'm sorry if it does
But that kind of man I am
Well you've had time to listen this far, are you still surprised?
I guess you are, but that's OK, you will surely survive!
But let me ask you what kind of man you really are?
And hey; let me know if I'm too familiar!
I am a fool of Christ
I think it's OK for you
Thank you and bye-bye then
But whose fool are you?
9. Here To Stay 3:22
I think every one of us is waiting for something super
Prince or princess or whatever it is that could make this perfect
But life ain't easy, life ain't perfect and it's not even fair
But still I love the life that's given to me and I want to live it wisely
Well, we've been given the cards we can't change so we have to play with them
I would like to have some other colors and other numbers too
Y'know I've lost some important ones and I know that's sad but true
And I hope when it's my time to go I still have the best card to choose
I am not here to stay forever
I gotta go and it won't take long
Just a bang and no me no more
But I have this moment and you have it too...
Well, I have told you about life in general and now it's time for afterlife
I believe and I think it's true that there is heaven and hell to choose
Eternal life or eternally died, I know it's quite black and white
But who am I to re-write the Bible since I know it's the Word of God
I am not here to stay forever
I gotta go and it won't take long
Just a bang and no me no more
But I have this moment and you have it too, so what we gonna go?
10. Christ Addict 2:25
My purest thoughts
Filth in Your eyes
Most beautiful deeds
With ugly motives
Wash me clean
Fill my heart
Wash me clean
From sin apart
I'm Christ addict
Sweetest words
From rotten heart
My purest love
Mud of the swines
Wash me clean
Fill my heart
Wash me clean
From sin apart
I'm Christ addict
Self drags me down
Sinking swamp of sin
Give me Your hand Jesus
And lift me up!
Most honest caring
Only fool's gold
Deepest friendship
After selfish mind
Wash me clean
Fill my heart
Wash me clean
From sin apart
I'm Christ addict
11. DDD 4:53
Little do you, the children of darkness
Know the authority of true Lord
You, who dare to rise against Him
God through the ages, Creator of all
Think you've chosen your part
As enemies of my God
But the fallen nature of sin
Makes every man His enemy
Lord our God, holy and righteous
Cannot stand the filthy and impure
Only chance to avoid His wrath
Blood of Christ, for our sins
We do not fight against you
You are not our enemies
We're asking you to break through
Deceiving darkness disease
Foreseen the end of your journey
Not understanding to be afraid
How pathetic that the sentenced
Think they're marching towards victory
Think you've chosen your part
As enemies of my God
But the fallen nature of sin
Makes every man His enemy
My Lord gave His life for me
Your lord is taking yours
My God took the victory
Your god has lost the war
We do not fight against you
You are not our enemies
We're asking you to break through
Deceiving darkness disease
12. Millstone 2:31
Jesus Christ, Lord of life
You say he is a liar
But it's you who's telling lies
That mock the true Messiah
Better for you if you'd gone swimming
With a millstone around your neck
If you'd been thrown into the sea
With a millstone around your neck
I don't care what you say
Don't listen to your lies
But woe to you if you tempt away
One of these little ones
Better for you if you'd gone swimming
With a millstone around your neck
If you'd been thrown into the sea
With a millstone around your neck
13. Dead End 2:08
Yeah, the life goes on
But something's wrong
'Cause the beer has lost its taste
Yes, the life goes on
But I can't go on
I've got no more years to waste
Yeah, the life goes on
And I try to hold on
'Cause I've got no guts to go
Yes, the life goes on
So what's going on
Is this all that the world can show
Bad situation, no use trying
Lying on the floor, loudly crying
All that time and money I spent
Just to end up here, dead end
Yeah, the life goes on
I'd better move on
There's something beyond belief
Yes, my life goes on
And now I know
God's grace won't ever deceive

To live is Christ

Jesus is the Lord of my life
The reason for my being
He lifts me up when I fall
Guides me through this world
To live is Christ
He is the Lord of my life
He is the Lord as I die
2. The Misleader 4:12
See this pain in my empty eyes
And the hopelessness as my flame slowly dies?
The last seed of hope was taken away
As I saw the end for pain hanging at the end of the rope
Noose will be my only company as I take my last breath
Killing self kills the pain and brings the peace
I assume, but what if pain never ceases?
Life can be hell, would it stop with a bang?
Love and death embrace the rope on which I hang
Still something keeps me an inch away from death
Follow the misleader, follow
Claiming to be as solution for pain
Fulfiller of dreams and the ceaser of sorrow
He is the misleader, follow
Just wondering why are my thoughts so unclear
Easing the pain shouldn't raise this kind of fear
So why do I need the booze to blow the fear away?
Until I know the answer, on this chair my feet will stay
Standing there through the night, the dawn will see me pray
See the pain in my anguished heart
And the hopelessness that tears my soul apart?
Very clearly I hear those words all around
"End for the pain, through death it is found
Sinless man died for you, don't have to throw your life away!"
Follow the Misleader, no more
Christ came to be the solution for pain
Donor of Life and the ceaser of sorrow
He is the true Leader, follow

1. Fields Of War 5:20
All my friends have gone
I have seen them disappear
Have no much left to be buried
Has every man fallen?
It feels like I'm all alone
There's no one to count on
From the valley of the darkness, into the light
My God, my Savior, hold me through this night
It feels like I am losing, lead me O Lord
Into the path of righteousness, out of the fields of war
Too silent to be true
Enemy must be attacking soon
I'll prepare to fight for my life
I'm sick and tired
Of being in the sight of a sniper
In spite of that I could be dead
This war seems to last forever
Will I ever be free from these chains of sin?
Forces of foe are getting greater
Do we really have any chance to win?
Funerals after funerals
Remains of our troops are exhausted
But yet we are fighting
Sometimes it feels like
There is no sense to carry on
And the night is thickening
From the valley of the darkness, into the light
My God, my Savior, hold me through this night
It feels like I am losing, lead me O Lord
Into the path of righteousness, out of the fields of war
2. 3:16 4:00
New age philosophers selling peace and salvation
Millions of gods, anticipating to be rewarded
Mankind's doing everything to avoid the coming destruction
But being embraced by the grace of God, the Father
For the speech about the cross is foolishness to those who perish
For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world
He gave His only begotten Son
Whoever relies on Him shall not come to destruction
But will have everlasting life
Every single soul, every single human being
Is precious and much, much more than all the treasures
Heavenly Father is longing with love each prodigal son
To be saved, to be entered into the Kingdom of God
But the speech about the cross is foolishness to those who perish
For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world
He gave His only begotten Son
Whoever relies on Him shall not come to destruction
But will have everlasting life
Two thousand years have passed and times have changed
But the historic cross of Christ still prevails
He died for sins, He rose from the dead
Once and for all His precious blood has been shed
But the speech about the cross is foolishness to those who perish
For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world
He gave His only begotten Son
Whoever relies on Him shall not come to destruction
But will have everlasting life
For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world
He gave His only begotten Son
Whoever relies on Him shall not come to destruction
But will have everlasting life
3. Defending The Faith 4:12
"For the times have been and will come again
When you shall be persecuted for sticking to my word."
Who will have the courage to rise up
To speak up for the truth?
Who will share the passion
To raise their heads defending the faith?
Here I stand, I can do no other
I cannot draw back my words
I cannot hide, please help me Father
To turn them into deeds
Who will be there to carry on
The flag of crimson blood cross?
Who will remain, when the elders have gone
To take over the watch?
Here I stand, I can do no other
I cannot draw back my words
I cannot hide, please help me Father
To turn them into deeds
Here I stand, I can do no other
I cannot draw back my words
I cannot hide, please help me Father
To turn them into deeds
"Before I let anyone take me from the Word of God and ask me to deny my belief,
I will kneel and let him strike off my head."
4. Song Of The Saved 2:07
I sinned and repented my deeds
Then I sinned again
The same mistakes over and over again
The struggle goes on and on and on...
I felt anger and frustration
I felt lack of faith
Sometimes even hate
Me? The good Christian?
Hypocrisy is the least that I want
Being mortal and imperfect
Is more like my desire
Sing with me the song of the saved
Sing with me the song of the saved
Sing with me the song of the saved
Sing with me the song of the saved
Sing! Sing! Sing! Song of the saved!
Sing! Sing! Sing! Song of the saved!
Flying to the stratosphere can be fun
But it is a long way back to the ground
And without a parachute
You are nothing but high-speed dirt
Hypocrisy is the least that I want
Being mortal and imperfect
Is more like my desire
Sing with me the song of the saved
Sing with me the song of the saved
Sing with me the song of the saved
Sing with me the song of the saved
5. Lost Indeed 3:43
Spent your daily hour for prayer
Another one for worship and praise
Always paid your monthly pays
Never missed a service on any given Sunday
Lost - you are lost
Lost - you are lost
Lost indeed
Lost - you are lost
Lost - you are lost
Lost indeed
Went to see the old and sick ones
Sang hymns at the church choir
Read your Bible all of the time
Tried to obey its every command
Lost - you are lost
Lost - you are lost
Lost indeed
Lost - you are lost
Lost - you are lost
Lost indeed
Tried to build a stairway to heaven
Haven't seen any real progress
Didn't become any holier-than-thou, just got frustrated
And disappointed in the weakness of your spirit and flesh
But it is by grace that we are saved
Not by what we have made
So it has been said
Lost - you are lost
Lost - you are lost
Lost indeed
Lost - you are lost
Lost - you are lost
Lost indeed
Don't get lost! Don't get lost!
Don't get lost! Don't get lost!
Get back on your feet - Don't get lost!
Christ has set you free - Don't get lost!
Get back on your feet - Don't get lost!
Christ has set you free - Don't get lost!
6. Hail To The King 2:57
There you are, beside me, brother of mine
We fought the good fight, the end is night
It has been a long night, like never ending
We have been beaten up, yet never surrendering
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it?
I can hear it!
Choir of silenced voices, children of the catacombs
Martyrs of the ancient era joining the forces
The most beautiful song of all times to hear
Band of mutes singing, singing loud and clear
Hail to the King of Kings
Saviour and redeemer of all our sins
Thy will be done, Lord most high
You are Messiah, one of a kind
Nations are in dismay, the heavens are shaking
What is coming? What is coming? Coming upon the world?
The Son of Man is coming with glory and the Kingdom of God
Stand erect and raise your head, redemption is at hand
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it?
I can hear it!
7. A Thorn Through Your Flesh 2:40
You have done your best
Throughout the history
Since the days of Adam you've been
The ruler of the world
O' Death! O' Death! O' Death! O' Death!
On a place of skull
You murdered Christ
But it turned out to be
The end of your time
O' Death! O' Death! O' Death! O' Death!
Begotten Son of God
Has risen from the dead
He's got the keys of
Death and of Hades
O death, where is thy victory?
Where is thy...
O death, where is thy sting?
Where is thy...
O death, where is thy victory?
Where is thy...
O death, where is thy sting?
Where is thy...
8. Holy War, Holy Violence 4:57
I am ashamed of what they have done
In the name of one and only God
How can Christ be so misunderstood
"Do to others as you would have them do to you."
Holy, holy, holy, holy war
Holy, holy, holy, holy violence
The father of lies has been blinding your eyes
Every single war is wholly unholy
God will hear the cry of a motherless child
Your reward will be as clear as your deeds
Done in the name of your own
The evil that men do cannot be forgotten
Mutilated corpses already rotten
What is killing in the name of love
But mockery of the living God
To cultivate and care, not to destroy
To guard all creation, not to spoil
Distortion of God is selling well
Parade of salvation walks straight to hell
Holy, holy, holy, holy war
Holy, holy, holy, holy violence
The father of lies has been blinding your eyes
Every single war is wholly unholy
God will hear the cry of a motherless child
Your reward will be as clear as your deeds
Done in the name of your own
9. Tales From The Midst Of The Battle 17:19
Prologue: Above The Mountains
Part I: The Mission
General Kyrios, son of the king
Lived far away, higher than highest mountain
Once the king called him and said:
"My son, I've got a mission for you
It'll be dangerous and could take you to death
But you're the only one who can get through"
So Kyrios left his glorious home
Thirty long years he wandered alone
Preparing himself to fight against the evil ruler
Apollyon, who enslaved and hated the people
General Kyrios chose twelve lieutenants
Roaming with them he gathered troops
He helped the poor, sick and the weak
That was something he wanted to teach
When three hard years had gone
He had soldiers and friends, he was the One
But also Apollyon had loyal men
Who were blindly under his command
They thought about how to get rid of the general
Then they got help from an astonishing level
One of Kyrios' men was a traitor
He promised to betray his lord for the money
Part II: The Death Of Kyrios
They came to garden at the nightfall
Kyrios was given to them by the traitor
The soldiers put him in the detention
And so the lieutenants lost their grand general
Before the provincial governor they blamed:
"He agitates our people and says: 'I'm the king!'"
He said: "I will condemn you to death."
Apollyon's men tortured the general
They laughed at him, they spat on his face
And at last - like a thief - like a thief - he was slayed!
The troops of Kyrios were hiding
They were scared, they were wondering
"How this badly can be everything?
Without our general the war we cannot win."
Three days were gone, filled with sorrow and pain
The general was buried, they could not gain
His friends, they could see no hope
And the traitor had died at the end of a rope
Part III: The Hymn For Victory
With the first beams of morning sun
Came some women from the grave and told everyone
"It's empty, he's no longer there, he lives again"
He fought the fight, he won the war!
He fought the fight, he won the war!
He fought the fight, he won the war!
He fought the fight, he won the war!
Apollyon was overthrown, he had no power anymore
To enslave the people with his evil force
Kyrios plundered to freedom all who believed in him
Now they were free from fear, free from death and sin
Whoever wants to can live his life free
In the troops of Kyrios, who is J.C.
To the father's home with Him we will arrive
Above the mountains, into the Heaven's high
And Apollyon, who is Satan, will be
Thrown into the Abyss, the Fiery Sea

1. Retaliatory Strike 3:25
The remnant few who follow Jesus our King
No sound of retreat, time to rise and besiege
Retaliatory Strike!
An assault with authority determined
The work done on the Cross
We invade on waring knees
In Christ's name on high
We follow the cries of victory
Of the saints that have gone before
Will we falter at defeat? No!
We may lose a battle but we're sure to win the war
Retaliatory Strike!
Onwards, onwards
A blood stained cross on our battle flag
Forward, soldiers
The sword will pierce the enemy
Retaliatory Strike!
A forceful kingdom, made of forceful men
In violent travail, Hell has been shaken again
We follow the cries of victory
Of the saints that have gone before
Will we falter at defeat? No!
We may lose a battle but we're sure to win the war
Onwards, onwards
A blood stained cross on our battle flag
Forward, soldiers
The sword will pierce the enemy
2. Care For The Wounded 3:45
Feel like screaming
Feel like screaming, I feel like crying
Feel like bleeding
Feel like bleeding, I feel like dying
Do not leave your brother in the dust
Care for the wounded
Do not hit your brother when he's down
Care for the wounded
Bleeding outside
Bleeding outside, I'm bleeding inside
Weeping for myself
Weeping for myself, I'm weeping for you
We're troubled but not crushed
Perplexed but not in despair
Persecuted but not forsaken
Cast down but not destroyed
Hurt by the enemy
Hurt by the enemy, I'm hurt by myself
Burnt by the lust
Burnt by the lust, I'm burnt by my sins
Do not leave your brother in the dust
Care for the wounded
Do not hit your brother when he's down
Care for the wounded
The words of the Lord I hear as a soft call:
"Come; rest in me, come; have my peace"
3. On A Day Of Discouragement 3:22
I don't know what exactly do you
Expect from me
Don't know if what you see when you look at me
Is gonna disappoint you
I'm not the one to seek for you
I'm not the one to preach
I'm not the one to be seen there
Waving the flag in front of you
Please don't judge me harshly
Don't punish me because of my deeds
I know they're not forgotten quickly
That's why my heart still bleeds
I'm not the one to seek for you
I'm not the one to preach
I'm not the one to be seen there
Waving the flag in front of you
I'm just someone roaming these paths
Carrying a frail hope of a brighter day
With some love to give, some to have
Trying to guard that little flame of faith
I'm not the one to seek for you
I'm not the one to preach
I'm not the one to be seen there
Waving the flag in front of you
4. Of Life And ...Death 3:23
How many days we have left
How many days we have thrown away
How many years just passed
'Cause nothing serious happened to happen
I hate myself for a reason
For ruining the best years of my life
The only thing that keeps me alive
I know God is on my side
Nothing serious to say
It's only all about you
It's only a matter of
Matter of life
I really don't need to ask
Has the past treated you well
You look just like a zombie
You are nothing but a shell
Correct me if I am wrong
You have been longing for a rest
On Calvary Hill has been stocked
Life in its fullness
Nothing serious to say
It's only all about you
It's only a matter of
Matter of life
In shame
No more
By grace
In Christ
Nothing serious to say
It's only all about you
It's only a matter of
Matter of life
Something serious to say
Christ died for you
It's the matter of
Matter of life and death
Of life and ...death

1. Solitude 3:16
I've become an outlaw, I've been ostracized
My lovers and friends stand apart from my side
My neighbours stay far away
Solitude, the greatest torture
Solitude, the greatest torture
This agony I cannot bear alone
Solitude, the greatest torture
Keep my soul safe against any invader
That in my weakness might undermine
The trust I have in you through my faith
Solitude, the greatest torture
Solitude, the greatest torture
This agony I cannot bear alone
Solitude, the greatest torture
Let it be known for every man
That you were my God and I was your servant
Until my end
In my end
Let it be known for every man
That you were my God and I was your servant
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
Solitude, the greatest torture
Solitude, the greatest torture
This agony I cannot bear alone
Solitude, the greatest torture
2. Seven Critical Days 3:43
Like thousand years is one day for you, my Lord
Please, now for me, let one day be like a week
During mis singular day, for seven critical days
Allow me to weigh and judge myself
So you would not have to
First day is the day when you come to me
No matter the way, you always put me in crisis
Second is the light and witness of my conscience
In which I have both sorrowful guilt in my soul
As well as glee of your sun that rose
Third one is the day when I prepare to receive
Your Son through sacrament he has decreed
And as I become participant of bread and wine
Your Son's flesh and blood also become mine
On fourth day my house shall be parted
As from this world I must depart
This is the day of lent, eve of a quantum feast
Fifth one is the day of resurrection
I shall be awakened, my body and soul reunited
Then joined to the body of Christ
Sixth one, the day of crisis and judgement
When my sentence shall be passed
My seventh day, my abiding sabbath
In your rest and glory I shall live
With no need for counting more days
"Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age"
"Never send out to ask for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for you"
3. Being Human 3:46
Man's happiness is lent his misery his property
Man himself is a land and sea, so deep his poverty
Being (being, being) being human (human, human)
Being human (being human) being
No man is truly healthy unless he values his health
Sees the greatness of such a gift, delights and rejoices about it
Man as such is but the dust of the earth
Damped by tears, blent with dirt
His being is soil, his status wretched
What we call happiness here
Has another name up there
Being (being, being) being human (human, human)
Being human (being human) being
Feeling (feeling, feeling) feeling human (human, human)
Feeling human (feeling human) feelings
4. Surgite, Mortui 4:27
Earth is the center of my body
Heaven the center of my soul
My body falls down with no one pushing
Soul doesn't rise up without pulling
Slowly my soul ascends towards heaven
Like head over heels my body has fallen
Along with the first touch of sickness
I also feel it's victory
It makes my life deceased
Gone is the sleep, the image of death
To make way to the exemplar itself
I might die right now
Surgite, mortui - rise up, you dead
Surgite, mortui - rise up, you dead
Rise up, you dead - surgite, mortui
God shall not give me into the hands of Satan
I have fallen into the hands of the Lord
My bones have no peace for the sake of my sins
Pass my sins upon the one in whom you've pleased
I shall see how great is his mercy
And peace shall dwell within my bones
Gone is the sleep, the image of death
To make way to "the exemplar itself"
I might die right now
But God calls the nonexistent as if they existed
Surgite, mortui - rise up, you dead
Surgite, mortui - rise up, you dead
Rise up, you dead - surgite, mortui
5. How Deep Must We Dig? 3:49
I drink misery
Happiness I only get to taste
Gnei I reap with a scythe
By hands I pick spikes of delight
In sorrow I tramp constantly
Rarely do I get to lay my feet
Onto the soil of joy
My misery is absolute, my sorrow unambiguous
My happiness is dubious, my delight inconstant
Barely any bliss is free from false and vile
I must be poor and live in death
To be able to show true gratitude
And to be able to have patience
I must be forlorn and tormented
How deep must we dig, and yet
How impure is the gold that we find
Your grace may crowd into the depths of my soul
But it does not make it unsoiled
Your chastisement might burn deep into the core
Yet I won't get rid of what is spoiled
You let the rain fall upon me
It doesn't always melt my harshness
You light your blaze within me
But not always burn away the dross
You heal my wounds, still the scars remain
The scars remain, scars still remain
My misery is absolute, my sorrow unambiguous
My happiness is dubious, my delight inconstant
"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
6. Alive, Immortal 4:45
The autumn has to arrive, will it be autumn for this disease
Or the autumn for me; a question remains, not mine to decide
I cannot know who cares for me when I've gone, so I'll receive all the care while I still breathe
For when I'm buried, I've gone into oblivion, I'm forgotten, sunk into the waters of Lethe
In communion I receive not only bread but as well your given Son's flesh
Thus I become an ark, a monument and the grave of your most blessed Son
Through communion he and every merit he gained by his own death become buried within me
Making me alive in this world, immortal in the one to come
Allow me to see, O Lord, that not the most fierce disease; no contrition of sin, temptation from Satan
Or prison of decease; not this malady bed, not even grave; dark and confined can deprive me
From that intent and desirable aspiration You have sealed for my fate
The greatest indication of your mercy is to pass away in you
And through death become unified with the One who died on behalf of me
7. Soul Sickness 3:39
Why does not my soul foresee; beware, suspect and be aware of sin
Like my body bewares of sickness?
On every path there's a sneaking snake
A hidden temptation in every vocation
Yet I walk, run and fly to these
Paths of temptations I could flee
Burgle a house of raging plague
Far too far I test my fate
I entice the Devil himself
Sin makes me sin (sin makes me sick) binds me to bed
Makes me decayed (sin makes me sick) buried and dead
I never had a conception of my disease
O greatness and depth of this wretched misery
Where the first symptom of sickness is hell
Where the fever of lust, pride and envy
Never rang a bell
Where the first messenger speaking to me
Does not utter "You might die"
Neither he says "You must die"
Harshly he states "You have died"
Sin makes me sin (sin makes me sick) binds me to bed
Makes me decayed (sin makes me sick) buried and dead
There, my soul first becomes aware of
The irrevocability and incurability of my sickness
And yet, my God, I cannot accuse you
For you've placed an alerting artery into my soul
The voice of conscience which I extinguish
I speak, I drink and I sleep until its defeat
Sin makes me sin (sin makes me sick) binds me to bed
Makes me decayed (sin makes me sick) buried and dead
I am the prodigal son, my share was not denied
I got my heritage, wasted and threw it away
But you, my God, have taken me back again and again; paid for my sins
With the life of your Son; for the wages of sin is death
Is the end of sickness
8. Gravebed 3:00
This malady bed is but a grave
All I can say just an epitaph variation
My hands and my feet, oddly shackled
These feeble sinews, my chains of iron
My chained wrists remain the stiller
The looser their bonds have become
On this bed of sickness I am the ghost of my own
Frightening those who see me at my worst
Consider me dead as I lie here still
Practicing for the time I'll be lying in my grave
Lord, is this how you hang a man
In front of his own door
As you nail him down
In the bottom of his bed?
No one remembers you when he's dead
Who praises you from his grave?
No one hears me singing your praise
On this bed of disease, this door of my grave
Gravebed
Gravebed
State, even lower than this malady bed
I might be lowered deep underground
If my body shall fall into grave
You shall life up my soul, washed out
Over and over and over again
In your tears, in your sweat, in your blood
"Do you want to get well?" (John 5:6)
"Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am faint;
O Lord, heal me, for my bones are in agony." (Psalm 6:2)
"By his wounds we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5)
9. Sun & Moon 4:44
Fear; imitating every state of mind; looking like love, yearning for something
Yet being fear of losing; envious, suspicious; looking like bravery, dangers despising
Yet being fear of losing respect and admiration
I cannot express what fear really is, I do not know what I'm afraid of
I'm not afraid of the incoming death; still I fear the progress of this sickness
There is no obscurity found in you, my light and my brightness
No untangled discrepancy exists in you, my sun and my moon
Not every sense of fear is cowardice, not every swerve an aim to escape
No, every claim is not a conclusion; no, every wish of change not a sign of despair
There is no obscurity found in you, my light and my brightness
No untangled discrepancy exists in you, my sun and my moon
Fear and joy, fright and delight belonging together, one breeding another
Those rejoice of you who have fear for you; for the fear of the Lord is the origin of wisdom
There is no obscurity found in you, my light and my brightness
No untangled discrepancy exists in you, my sun and my moon
10. Arcanum Serpens 3:51
That which is the most clandestine is the most perilous as well
By the curse of the serpent, I am cursed
By his creeping I shall be ruined
His sting in my heel was but a start
And along with death, afterwards
Through my ears, through my eyes
He has invaded into my heart
Through the holes in my very soul
In me the serpent works in secrecy; his presence I do not notice
One of his greatest deeds; when I sin, none perceives
His undeniable master deed; I sin so secretly even I don't see
Not that the Devil is within me
But that I've become the devil for myself
I do not only hold an adder on my chest
But for my own self I am that serpent
Let your serpent of brass be ever-present in me
Let him heal this wound, stung by the serpent of old
May the lion of Judah stand protecting me
Against the roaring lion, seeking whom to devour
Grant me the wisdom of serpent to guard me
Against the wickedness of the serpent
Serpent of brass against the serpent of old
Lion of Judah against the one that roars
And the spirit or your Dove against them both
Against the roaring and the wicked ones
"For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." (Ecclesiastes 12:14)
"So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known." (Matthew 10:26)
"When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as the heat of summer. Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, 'I will confess my transgressions to the Lord' - and you forgave the guilt of my sin.'" (Psalm 32:3-5)
11. Divine Councel 3:52
As long as there's a chance to negotiate
Things are not in totally hopeless shape
Even in evil there's found some goodness
Well enough to arouse frail confidence
O worthy guardian and sentinel of men
Who turn to counsel while guarding them
Whose every external deed
Is a deed of the whole Trinity
And within every task and duty
Lies the hand of triune Deity
In my body there's no such blood vessel
Your Son's blood hasn't filled, I humbly confess
The Son of Man I've crucified time and again
With my sins, so manifold and frequent
O Messed and honoured Trinity
O divine and completely society
If you accept this confession of mine
And consider it in your counsel divine
Then is my case not a hopeless one
And my ruin not beforehand done
12. The Bells Are Ringing 5:09
The man whose funeral bells are ringing, has reached his destination yesterday
How come the bells didn't ring 'til now?
Bells that rang yesterday
Ushered his soul, the vanguard, out of this world
The ones ringing today bring his body, the rear, into the church
Bells that will ring when he gets there bring him to me so that I could learn
The bells that now ring
Memento mori, memento mori
My God, besides this fever, do I still need
Another reminder of my mortality?
Do I need to watch the skull in the ring
When my own face shows me the same thing?
Must I seek death from my neighbour's house
Though I can find it inside my blouse?
The skull in the ring
Memento mori, memento mori
The bells that now ring
Memento mori, memento mori
The skull in the ring
Memento mori, memento mori
I can hear this late brother of mine
Whom they now lower into his grave
Preaching through these ringing bells
My funeral sermon
Speaking out aloud fratai that belfry
Silently whispering from these curtains
Uttering your own words: "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now own"
"The bells ring out: the pulse thereof is changed;
The tolling was a faint and intermitting pulse, upon one side;
This wronger and argues more and better life.
His soul is gone - wither?
Who saw it come in, or who saw it go out?
Nobody, yet everybody is sure he had one, and has none."

1. Dead Man Dancing 2:14
Come out! Come out!
You're not dead anymore
Take off your grave clothes and go!
Sing, mute man sing!
Hear, deaf man hear!
See, blind man see!
Dance, dead man dance!
Wake up! Wake up!
A loud voice calls you by name
Wake up!
You've been born again
Sing, mute man sing!
Hear, deaf man hear!
See, blind man see!
Dance, dead man dance!
2. In The Midst Of Lions 2:37
Arise, O Lord!
Deliver me, O my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw
Break the teeth of the wicked
I am in the midst of lions
I lie among ravenous beasts
Men whose teeth are spears and arrows
Whose tongues are sharp swords
How long will you look on?
Rescue my life from their ravages
Or they will tear me like a lion
And rip me to pieces
I am in the midst of lions
I lie among ravenous beasts
Men whose teeth are spears and arrows
Whose tongues are sharp swords
They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent's
The poison of vipers is on their lips
I am in the midst of lions
I lie among ravenous beasts
Men whose teeth are spears and arrows
Whose tongues are sharp swords
3. Nazorean 3:02
I believe in God, and in His only Son
He was crucified, died and was buried
He descended into hell
I am a Nazorean
I am a follower of Christ Jesus the Nazorean
I am a Nazorean
I am a follower of Christ Jesus the Nazorean
From the dead He rose
He ascended into heaven
He will come to judge
The living and the dead
Come! Come! Lord Jesus Christ!
"Minä uskon Jumalaan
Isään, Kaikkivaltiaaseen
Taivaan ja maan Luojaan
Ja Jeesukseen Kristukseen
Jumalan ainoaan Poikaan
Meidän Herraamme
Joka sikisi Pyhästä Hengestä
Syntyi neitsyt Mariasta
Kärsi Pontius Pilatuksen aikana
Ristiinnaulittiin, kuoli ja haudattiin
Astui alas tuonelaan
Nousi kolmantena päivänä kuolleista
Astui ylös taivaisiin
Istuu Jumalan, Isän, Kaikkivaltiaan
Oikealla Puolella
Ja on sieltä tuleva tuomitsemaan
Eläviä ja kuolleita"
I am a Nazorean
I am a follower of Christ Jesus the Nazorean
I am a Nazorean
I am a follower of Christ Jesus the Nazorean
4. The Amen 3:46
I am who I am
I am who is and who as
And I am who is to come
I am the Almighty
I am - before Abraham was
I am - whom they sought to kill
I am - the Son of Man lifted up
I am - the Resurrection - I am the Life
I am the same today
I am the same yesterday
And forever and ever
I am the Lord
I am - before Abraham was
I am - whom they sought to kill
I am - the Son of Man lifted up
I am - the Resurrection - I am the Life

7. The Harrowing Of Hell 5:03
On the day the Christ was crucified
Darkness covered the land
On the day the Christ was crucified, the earth shook
On the day the Christ was crucified
The veil in the Temple was torn in two
On the day the Christ was crucified
He descended into Hell
Conquered the devil
Destroyed the power of Hades
He descended into hell
Conquered the Devil
Took from the deuce all his power
All of his power
On the day of Christ's resurrection
Doors of Death fell down
On the day of Christ's resurrection
Grim Reaper was trampled on the ground
On the day of Christ's resurrection
The Devil lost the war
On the day the Christ was resurrected
He descended into Hell
Conquered the devil
Destroyed the power of Hades
He descended into hell
Conquered the Devil
Took from the deuce all his power
All of his power
On the day the Christ was crucified
Darkness covered the land
On the day the Christ was crucified, the earth shook
On the day the Christ was crucified
The veil in the Temple was torn in two
On the day the Christ was crucified
He descended into Hell
Conquered the devil
Destroyed the power of Hades
He descended into hell
Conquered the Devil
Took from the deuce all his power
All of his power
8. Hymn (Of A Lost) 8:45
I call with all my heart; answer me, O Lord
I call out to you; save me
I rise before dawn and cry for help
I long for your salvation, O Lord
I long for you, O God
My eyes stay open through the watches of the night
Those who devise wicked schemes are near
Yet you are near, O Lord
I long for your salvation, O Lord
I long for you, O God
Look upon my suffering and deliver me
Defend my cause and redeem me
Many are the foes who persecute me
May my cry come before you!
May my supplication come before you
May your hand be ready to help me!
I long for your salvation, O Lord!
I have gone astray like a lost sheep
Seek your servant, seek your (servant)
Seek me!
9. The Place Of A Skull 3:57
Jesus of Nazareth, was clothed in a purple robe
Jesus of Nazareth, was crowned with thorns
The king of the Jews carried his cross to the place of a skull
The Son of God was slaughtered on the place of a skull
The blood of the Lamb was flowing down the place of a skull
Jesus of Nazareth was beaten and spat on
Jesus of Nazareth was executed on a cross
The king of the Jews carried his cross to the place of a skull
The Son of God was slaughtered on the place of a skull
The blood of the Lamb was flowing down the place of a skull
10. Shiloh 2:44

11. Therenoi 4:20
Let the day perish wherein I was born
Let that day be darkness
Let gloom seize upon it
Let the blackness of the day terrify it
Lo, let that night be solitary
Lo, let that night be barren
Let them curse it that curse the day
Who are ready to rouse Leviathan
Let the stars of its twilight be dark
Let it wait for light, and have none
Why died I not from the womb?
Why did I not give up the ghost
For now should I have lain down and been quiet
Then had I been at rest
Lo, let that night be solitary
Lo, let that night be barren
Let them curse it that curse the day
Who are ready to rouse Leviathan
Let the stars of its twilight be dark
Let it wait for light, and have none
