1. Sacrifice Of Righteousness 5:25
En el pasado, cuando el hombre vivía bajo la ley
Para recibir perdón por sus pecados,
Ofrecían sacrificio de animales a Dios.
Algunos mataban y daban gloria a otros dioses.
("In the past, when man lived under the Law
To receive forgiveness for his sins,
They offered animal sacrifices to God.
Some killed and gave glory to other gods.")
Others murdered and worshipped demons
Offering animal blood
Everyday, all over the world
Human sacrifices are offered to Satan
Others murdered and worshipped demons
Offering animal blood
Everyday, all over the world
Human sacrifices are offered to Satan
The motive is to serve him and obtain power
But now it's not necessary to kill to receive forgiveness
Blood stream from the wounds down over the cross
Where a mutilated body was nailed and hung
Draining the life from a righteous and innocent man named Jesus
He is Jesus Christ
His sacrifice is for all
He is Jesus Christ
His sacrifice is for all
It was sufficient to demolish the sin
That existed between God and man
Giving His own life for us out of love
Showing this way that the death of Jesus
Was the biggest and most important sacrifice
In the history of humanity
Everyday the mercies of God are new
Because of the death of Christ
Now the glory is Christ's
Who was raised from the dead
And now sits at the right hand of God
2. From Pain To Hope 5:03
Sadness and pain cover the people
They cry out for freedom
Escaping from death
Looking for answers
Broken dreams, wounded heart
They walk in agony
They are hated for the color of their skin
Fear in their minds
Death will come soon
And sickness in their bodies
They live in our world and want an answer
A hope to be free
They are poor and no one will help
From pain to hope
Jesus Christ is the way
He died for everyone
Your race doesn't matter
The people don't care
If they die or cease to exist
Their future is the same
Without hope or love
3. The Mystery Of Iniquity 5:37
Con una mente reprovada
Cometiendo hechos anormales
Intentan destruir
La anatomía de un cuerpo
Cuya cabeza los derrotó
Y los despojo vaciando
Sus arterias escurriendo
Por sus llagas y sus huesos
Un daño cerebral
Una enferma e insaciable sed de venganza
De un angel derrotado, cuyos impulsos homicidas
Trastornan y transforman
A un hombre confundido en un psicópata
Posesionado extraviado en un abisma de iniquidad
Y una permanente oscuridad
Pero Jesús puede cambiar a esa gente
Engañada por Satan
Y limpiar su vida su vida con su amor
Satanismo es una mentira
Te quieren matar
Jesús te ofrece vida eterna
4. Rivers Of Loneliness 5:14
Como las aguas se van del mar
Y el río se agota y se seca
Así el hombre yace y no vuelve a levantarse
Mas los años contados vendrán
Y yo iré por el camino de donde no volveré
Mi aliento se agota, se acortan mis días
Y me está preparado el sepulcro
A pesar de ho haber iniquidad en mis manos
Y de haber sido mi oración pura
Mis ojos se oscurecieron por el dolor
Ante Dios derramaré mis lágrimas
Por que el Señor es justo
Y su amor no puede ser burlado
Su mano castiga el pecado
Cuando su amor es olvidado
Dios, qué es el hombre
Para que le des tu amor?
Si en mí existiera el mal pobre de mí
Si justo yo fuera, no me envaneceré
En mi ser te he de ver
En mi ser te sentiré
Aunque mi corazón desfallece dentro de mí
Y mi alma triste está
Como las aguas se van del mar
Y el río se agota y se seca
Así el hombre yace y no vuelve a levantarse
Mas los años contados vendrán
Y yo iré por el camino de donde no volveré
Mi aliento se agota, se acortan mis días
Y me está preparado el sepulcro
Aunque mi corazón desfallece dentro de mí
Y mi alma triste está
En mi ser te he de ver
En mi ser te sentiré
5. Legal 7:15
In secret she hid her shame
She placed her confidence in a lie
The very instrument she thought would set her free
Will cause her to die
In secret she hid her shame
She placed her confidence in a lie
The very instrument she thought would set her free
Will cause her to die
Her body racked with pain
Her plea you would deny
On deaf ears her screams would fall
All along the danger raged within her body
As she collapses with faint breath
She begs God to forgive her, and He does
She begs God to forgive her, and He does
In the hospital the war is waged
As the infection claims feet, hands and legs
Skin becomes black as sin
For wisdom the doctors look to within
As she wastes away
A few hours later her race would be finished
But all is lost as the deadly infection wins
Her children mourn the loss of a mother they will never know
Her husband mourns the loss of his wife
And the child he never knew
All in the name of choice and legal immorality
6. Terminating Existence 4:29
Buscas e intentas, no puedes más
La angustia y el odio llenan tu ser
Tu gente traiciona el amor
Muestran rencor y causan dolor
Creíste encontrar la solución a tu depresión en cosas nocivas
Sólo aumentó el temor por continuar viviendo
Solución letal - Deseas morir
Escapas cobarde, no quieres seguir
Cortaste tus venas, la sangre goteó
Pensaste que muriendo todo acababa
Causaste tristeza, yo aún te amaba
La única muerte que to servía
Era la mía: te daba la vida
No es necesario que mueras
Jesucristo murió por ti en la cruz
Él es la solución
Él te ama y te quiere ayudar
Sólo habla con Él, abre tu corazón
Mi llanto cayó sobre tu tumba
Porqué, hijo mío? Yo aún te amaba
7. Absolute Predominance 5:18
Everybody wants power and control in this world:
Governments, countries and many men
They've tried to get it with wars and nuclear arms
It doesn't matter who dies - children, women
Innocent people that pay the price
Of the stubborn man who seeks to rule
Oh, you are all so simple
Only you, Lord, who with your great power
Created the heavens and the earth
You gave breath of life to man
You broke the heads of the monster in the waters
You separated the sea so your people could flee
Only you, Lord Jesus
Have control over all the universe
You punish with your sword and the serpent
You will slay the dragon
Even the mountains will melt as wax before you
Only you, my God, with your power
Subject demons and heal the sick
In the name of Christ
Besides, every knee shall bend before you
And all the men that wanted the glory
Will confess that you are sovereign
God over all!
Besides, every knee shall bend before you
And all the men that wanted the glory
Will confess that you are sovereign
God over all!
You will crush Satan under our feet
And you will show that you are King
Coming on a cloud of power and great glory
Those who boast in idols:
Worship Him, all you gods!
8. Tears Of A Leper 3:24
He was lost in the wilderness
Finding no way to a place he could stay
He was hungry and thirsty and his soul failed him
He sat in darkness and in the deepest gloom
Living in agony and depression
Through his tears he cried out
I prefer strangling and death
Rather than this body of mine
It's not enough to be just
I deserve to die for the sin in my life
Porque no hay lugar donde e escondan
Los que hacen maldad
Por haberte desobedecido, mi Dios
Estoy perdido en éste mundo de pecado
He caído y me estoy muriendo
Perdóname, Señor
Ayúdame, porque yo solo no puedo
Quiero estar contigo otra vez
("Because there is no dark place
No deep shadow where evildoers can hide
For having disobeyed you, oh my God
Now my inside is rotten
Like the leper's skin is destroyed
I've been lost in this world of sin
I've fallen and I'm dying
Forgive me, oh Lord
Help me, because I can't do it alone
I want to be with you again")
Have mercy on me, my Jesus
Look upon my affliction and suffering
You lift me up from the doors of death
I remember the good times we had together, Lord
But now I am bound by ties of death
And torments of perversity
He was lost in the wilderness
Finding no way to a place he could stay
He was hungry and thirsty and his soul failed him
He sat in darkness and in the deepest gloom
Living in agony and depression
Through his tears he cried out
I prefer strangling and death
Rather than this body of mine
I deserve to die for the sin in my life
9. A Cry Of Anguish 5:28
Save me, oh God
For the waters have come up to my neck
I sink in the depth where there is no foothold
I have come into the deep waters
The floods engulf me
Those who hate me without reason
Outnumber the hairs of my head
All my bones are out of joint
My heart has turned to wax
It has melted away within me
Darkness is all around me
Because of the errors of my ways in the past
I regret not believing in you
I always thought I was right
When my own thoughts took me away from you
There is a void in me nothing can fill
Problems, pain, loneliness invade my mind
My friends and family have forgotten me
My life isn't important to anybody
Only you, Lord Jesus, gave me strength to go on
You filled the void and heard me cry
Now I don't look back
I only see you, my God
10. Chains Of Darkness 4:44
They promise freedom
But they themselves are slaves of corruption
With their mouths they praise God
They preach the name of Jesus and his love
Some want to pervert the Gospel of Christ
Changing the Word of God for their convenience
They are wells without water
Lies and blasphemies
These sects are born in such a manner
That they draw man away from the truth
They ask money for healing, prosperity
Prostitution of the Gospel
They listen to seducing spirits
And doctrines of demons
They preach false doctrines
Disguising themselves as Christians
But they are false prophets
That introduce destructive heresy
Talking like brute beasts
Made to be taken and destroyed
And shall utterly perish in their own corruption
For it would have been better for them
Not to have known Jesus
They are like a dog returning to his own vomit again
Now the time has come
To discern the schemes of the devil
Because Jesus is the only way and salvation is free
TRANSLATED TRACKS
3. The Mystery Of Iniquity
With a mind condemned
Committing abnormal atrocities
They try to destroy
The body of the head
Who was defeated
And stripped away
Emptying arteries
Wounds running over bones
Cerebral damage
A sick and insatiable thirst for vengeance
From a defeated angel whose homicidal impulses
Twist and transform
A confused man into a possessed psychopath
Perverted in an abyss of iniquity and permanent darkness
But Jesus can change those people
Fooled by Satan
And can clean their lives with His love
Satanism is a lie
They want to kill you
Jesus offers you eternal life
4. Rivers Of Loneliness
As the waters fall from the sea
And the river decays and dries up
So man lies down and doesn't rise
When a few years are come
I will go through the way
From where I will not return
My spirit is broken, my days are extinct
And the graves are ready for me
Though there isn't injustice in my hands
And my prayer is pure
Because of sorrow, my eyes turned dim
Unto God I will pour my tears
Because God is righteous and His love can't be fooled
His hand punishes sin when His love is forgotten
God, what is man that You give him Your love?
If I were sinful, woe unto me
If I were righteous, I will not be proud
I will see you in me
I will feel you in me
Though my heart should faint within me
And my soul is sad
As the waters fall from the sea
And the river decays and dries up
So man lies down and doesn't rise
When a few years are come
I will go through the way
From where I will not return
My spirit is broken, my days are extinct
And the graves are ready for me
Though my heart should faint within me
And my soul is sad
I will see you in me
I will feel you in me
6. Terminating Existence
You look and you try and you can't anymore
The anguish and the hate fill you
Your own betray your love
Showing bitterness and causing pain
You thought you'd find the solution to your depression
In things that hurt you instead
The fear of continuing to live only grew
Lethal solution - You want to die
You escape a coward, not wanting to go on
You cut your veins, the blood drips
You thought that in dying, everything would be finished
You caused so much sadness, but still I loved you
The only death worth anything was mine:
It gave you life
You don't have to die
Jesus Christ died for you on the cross
He is the solution
He loves you and wants to help you
Just talk to Him, open your heart
My tears fell on your grave
Why, my son? I still loved you

1. Through The Reflection 6:27
In the reflection, all I can see is the
Vain face of loneliness
Hate reigns in my eyes
Fed by the anger
I want to wake up
I want to wake up in Heaven
The place mom told me about
The place where she's gone to
Where my dreams
Where my dreams live forever
Where my dreams live forever
Where my dreams live!
What would life be like?
Without taunting?
What is it like?
Not to hear their laughter?
Mother, you'll only know
Mother, you'll only know
Love is gone, love has left my hands
Gone to the place where my dreams live
The reflection wakes me up to the place
Mother I forgive you for giving life in this world
Today I go back to their mocking
In times of trouble
Your loving memory defends me
I remember you...
Your beauty inside me...
2. Come Near 5:26
A voice calling sweetly in the wind
I love you, hands to hold you
To be your friend
Come near
I have sought of my treasure
In the hills of doubt
I've seen you in desert plains
And stormy waves
Come near
My word calls to soothe tired souls
A voice of reason, to help take control
Light is fading, eternal voices scream
At last I hold you and smile
I know you were coming
My child of grace
Come near, come near
The seat of glory
Where devils fear to tread
Endless praise forever
Where death is forever death
3. 1250 Dead Without Reason 8:18
Spiritual racism
Where rules are government
Laws of pain, like a cry of the soul
Now beliefs are dead
In the eternal end of dawn
My beliefs changing is better than dying
My will has gone
No! My strength grows in the wind
No!
No! My strength grows in the wind
No!
With the wind of my heart
He has not gone away
He replaces my pain
I'll never lose my soul
I will not die
I glow in darkness
Your mercy walks by my side
My strong is victory over death
4. A Dream At Sunset 4:35
Cruising the place of pain
Towards the end of life
When I'm closer to eternity
I'm closer to you
Breath abandons me
Working hands ache
From the roads of life
I'll soon die
Towards eternity
Where love rules
The place of hope
Where I will live
Come home with me
Smile again
Like the beautiful dawn
Born on your face
5. The Wind Of My Heart 5:37
Love has died inside the human heart
Its tears have been dried by the wind
Spoiling 'till the end
Little is the love
Toward a closed soul
Few are the hopes
Of the sad human being
The wind comes and goes
In hopes of reuniting with you
Here everything has died
The hope to smile again
Return to the light of dawn
Come back and leave everything behind
Take my hand and let's walk
Toward the end of love
6. A Cry Near The Forest 6:10
I look at the sky, towards you
In the same place where I begin to dream
A smile of hope dawns on my face
There you are, in my dreams and wishes
As every night is by the lake near the forest
I find rest in the stars of the night
With my body bleeding from the whips
My pride gone from the fruit of their lips
Father I know you're still close to me
Now you can heal my flesh and cure me
I can see your tears are larger than mine
Why God, if you created everything
Do they judge me by my color?
It's color that killed their love for truth
Lord does your love remain in me?
If you love me, I will love them
7. Roots Of Wind 5:50
Man's heart fails in fear
In pain of emptiness
Grasping roots of wind
No cure for blindness
Death calls in deception
Offering the easy way
Urging its victim slowly
Brink of eternal pain
His small voice calls
Peace, the path not seen
Open your eyes old man
This way will heal your pain
Dressed in righteousness
Overflowing eternal rest
Foolishness fades
New heart beats strength
No torment or shame
Hiss cold breath quenches fire
His hands heals scars of sin
Old man lift your eyes
Your heart again begins
8. Tears... Instrument For Reflection 4:09
Respiro pobreza
Me sofoca la ignorancia humana
Un bello sueño
Despierto en una horrible realidad
Corruption, blindness, convenience
Govern our small existence
I have no earthly champion
Where is my Samaritan?
Clamo por entendimiento
Sonrio en desesperaion
Yo vivo en esperanza
Y muero en mi esfuerzo
Mi esfuerzo
Wishing, wanting, waiting
For alliance through emotion
Will you discover tears are an
Instrument for reflection?
Tócalos Señor!
Tocalos
Toca sus vidas
Tocalos
Tócalos Señor!
Señor cámbialos toca sus vidas
Oro por ellos
Cristo vive, Cristo vive en ti
Jesus is Lord!
Jesus is coming...
