1. Ashes To Ashes 3:57

You said you'd never leave

And promised you'd wait for me

I can't believe this mess, you and your thoughtless act

From ashes to ashes I'll burn our story

From ashes to ashes I'll burn these torn pages

My eyes tear at the sight that you're gone

My amazing grace left me long ago

I hear my heart faintly beating

Reaching and crying

Reaching and wanting you

I need you

(I need you)

I want you

(I want you)

Why won't you

(Why won't you)

Return to me

You hurt me

(You hurt me)

You broke me

(You broke me)

Cheers to these shattered memories

You said you'd never leave

And promised you'd wait for me

I can't believe this mess, you and your thoughtless act

From ashes to ashes I'll burn our story

From ashes to ashes I'll burn these torn pages

I fell for a lie and believed it was true

Plagued by my demons but the biggest one was you

A snake I could not see

You fooled me, destroyed me

You left me for dead so I'll burn these images

Left in my head

Oh

I can't believe you started what you could not finish

You said you'd never leave

And promised you'd wait for me

I can't believe this mess, you and your thoughtless act

From ashes to ashes I'll burn our story

From ashes to ashes I'll burn these torn pages

I'll burn these torn pages

I'll burn these torn pages

2. False Identity 3:45

Born to be created in your image

Yet to your eyes I was still not fitting

Rejected of my only purpose

I will let you in on my secret

This false identity instilled in me

Breaks through my soul

I was never allowed to fulfill

The role I wanted to portray

Locked within this windowless room

Scarred by your influence

This path that I walk was never my own

My choices are gone

Born to be created in your image

Yet to your eyes I was still not fitting

Rejected of my only purpose

I will let you in on my secret

Faceless because I was supposed to dawn your image

But I tried to live the life you wanted me to

I let you live your life through me

Molded and remolded I failed the test of perfection

I will never be what you don't see in your reflection

Born to be created in your image

Yet to your eyes I was still not fitting

Rejected of my only purpose

I will let you in on my secret

Now you know my secret

3. The Straight And Narrow 3:00

Go in the direction that he may lead you

Because there is no fault in his guidance

The will of this world has no power over me

I'll claim this on the name of the king

All doubt I cast away and move past this haze

I am no longer trapped in this maze

I decided nothing's gonna hold me back

I'll keep my sights on the future I have

With the wisdom that he's given me

I'll stand against my enemies

I won't break under the pressure

He holds power no one can measure

I stand with victory and triumph over my enemies

I'll strike down all adversity

I am strong as long as he's with me

I decided that nothing will hold me back

Nothing will hold me back

I decided nothing's gonna hold me back

I'll keep my sights on the future I have

With the wisdom that he's given me

I'll stand against my enemies

4. Reach And Believe 3:28

Fight for what you want

Fight for what you need

Don't let anyone tell you how to be

We all have dreams that we want to come true

So chase them and follow through

This struggle is a constant reminder that my goal is near

The tough times that I had to bare

I wear as a medal for others to see that my path is clear

Fight for what you want

Fight for what you need

Don't let anyone tell you how to be

We all have dreams that we want to come true

So chase them and follow through

Others will try to make it seem that

You can't do this, you can't do this

The impossible

But strive on the hate

And wipe away your tears

And stand against your fear

You need to have faith and believe in yourself

Live with no regrets and forget the hate

Because only you can finish your race

So now you know how important it is to dream so

Fight for what you want

Fight for what you need

Don't let anyone tell you how to be

We all have dreams that we want to come true

So chase them and follow through

Fight for what you want

Fight for what you need

And follow through

5. A Letter To Someone In Need 3:27

Let go of the past that you think controls you

You're stronger because of what you've been through

Never assume, never assume that you have no place to return to

Just remember your life has value

The sadness that you have pushed through has never stopped you

Never stopped you

The tears that consumed you have never stopped you

So why give up now?

When you have almost broke through

You have the strength to do anything

The trails that you faced have brought you down

Like the force of gravity

But you stood anyway

You believed and fought

You're more than you give credit for

Let go of the past that you think controls you

You're stronger because of what you've been through

Never assume, never assume that you have no place to return to

Just remember your life has value

Sometimes it hurts to remember

But don't ever forget, don't ever forget

Because one day you will look back on this struggle

To remember it's you who made it home

Remember that you made it through

So let go

So let go

Let go of the past that you think controls you

You're stronger because of what you've been through

Never assume, never assume that you have no place to return to

Just remember your life has value

6. Voice Of Christ 3:49

My dear I know you're scared

But remember you're not alone

I'll be there for you

Even when it all goes wrong

You heard these words before

But I promise you I'll never hurt you

I want to share your sentiments and throw away your regrets

Let me feel how you feel and be your shield

I can shelter you from my pain

So hold on, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain

My dear I know you're scared

But remember you're not alone

I'll be there for you

Even when it all goes wrong

I am the sword that will strike down your demons

I am the silence that keeps all your secrets

I am the fire that will never burn you

The breath of air that can revive you

So place your trust in me and all my grace you will receive

My dear I know you're scared

But remember you're not alone

I'll be there for you

Even when it all goes wrong

I'll be there for you

7. I Found You 4:03

I lived by my ways

I never thought to change

Until I found the truth

Now the road is clear

For the path I must take

I found you

This life of vanity I was so fond of

Left me like dust to the wind

I am shattered, broken, forgotten, diseased

Tortured by the forsaken seeds within me

Constantly forgetting what is important

As long as I have faith you will never leave me

I lived by my ways

I never thought to change

Until I found the truth

Now the road is clear

For the path I must take

I found you

I sing for you, I live for you

I can't stop my heart from beating for you

You saved me when I came to this crossroad

And now in return I give you all of me

I lived by my ways

I never thought to change

Until I found the truth

Now the road is clear

For the path I must take

I found you

I would cry and look away, look away

Trying to find why is it I, why is it I

Who receives these gifts when I was not faithful

I had fallen, a tarnished gem

I never lived by my faith

But since I found you all that has changed

But since I found you all that has changed

I lived by my ways

I never thought to change

Until I found the truth

Now the road is clear

For the path I must take

I found you

Even when I was lost or suffering

You were always there to guide me

8. Hi My Name Is April And You're A Fool 3:03

I wish all your creams come true

Just remember nightmares are dreams too

I'm not sorry that you don't like

My honesty but I don't like your lies

I won't limit myself to your false ideas so give me your best shot

I'll take on all that you've got

Your lies and your deceit had taken over me

Because I was too blind, too blind to see

That you didn't want me, that you didn't need me

So I'll say goodbye

The devil is a liar and so are you

You pretended that we were gonna make it through

But on the inside you were laughing hysterically

At the fool you were making out of me

The glass half-full was all I had seen

Because you were so much more than a dream to me

You tried to turn the world against me but I will show you the truth

The fates were never against us

It was you who broke my trust

You tried to play it off as if it's my fault

God don't like ugly, that's why you got caught

From ashes to ashes I burned our story

Thank God you're a fading memory

Your lies and your deceit had taken over me

Because I was too blind, too blind to see

That you didn't want me, that you didn't need me

So I'll say goodbye

9. He Is Gain 3:43

Give him thanks for everything that he has done because without him

We are nothing, that's why we walk the narrow road and seek the throne

The darkness will cause you to lose your way

But his light will shine right through your faith

So when in doubt always believe

That his help is in your reach

Lay your eyes upon the king of kings

So many times he has saved us from a life of misery

We are nothing, that's why we walk the narrow road and seek the throne

The darkness will cause you to lose your way

But his light will shine right through your faith

So when in doubt always believe

That his help is in your reach

The heart is empty without you

Life is meaningless

So gain his favor and gain his peace

To become the person he wants you to be

I want to see you move

I want to see you move for the Lord

The darkness will cause you to lose your way

But his light will shine right through your faith

So when in doubt always believe

That his help is in your reach

10. The Picture Is Not Always Perfect 4:30

Silver frames capture the essence of me

Fractured remains instilled in my florescent gaze

A broken heart beats in this deafening silence

The recipe of a lost memory

This is no home, broken windows

Shattered dreams that appear in my sleep

My nightmares can only depict what I am

A hollow shell which was thrown away

Cursed by the sands of time

Hurt by this love I can't find

My innocence became defiled

A brightened star comes before me

Shortening the will of my resolve

Silver frames capture the essence of me

Fractured remains instilled in my florescent gaze

A broken heart beats in this deafening silence

The recipe of a lost memory

My grasp in reach of this white veil

But the empty shadow befriends me

Trying to comfort what lies within

This crystal gaze that I can't escape

Silver frames capture the essence of me

Fractured remains instilled in my florescent gaze

A broken heart beats in this deafening silence

The recipe of a lost memory

I was chained to a place where I was left all alone

But I will find the strength to break out

Break

Silver frames capture the essence of me

Fractured remains instilled in my florescent gaze

A broken heart beats in this deafening silence

The recipe of a lost memory

These dreams keep me fighting

These dreams help me to survive

11. Nothing To Lose 3:45

Here we go

I can't seem to think of anything other than you

The grace that you pour down on me

I receive graciously, I magnify the king

You don't know how much you mean to me

I don't know how to live or be without you

I surrender, I surrender

So I lift my hands and I hold them high

Because it's you that I glorify

I glorify him and everything that he is

I glorify him and everything that he is

I used to walk a thin line

With no destination in my mind

But then I learned of his name

And clung to his words, clung to his words

As my path was remade

I don't know how to live or be without you

I surrender, I surrender

So I lift my hands and I hold them high

Because it's you that I glorify

I owe you everything for saving my life

I owe you everything for saving my life

I don't know how to live or be without you

I surrender, I surrender

So I lift my hands and I hold them high

Because it's you that I glorify

As long as I have faith I've got nothing to lose

As long as you have faith you've got nothing to lose

As long as they have faith they've got nothing to lose

As long as we have faith we've got nothing to lose

As long as I have faith

As long as we have faith

1. Firefighter 3:31

I wish that there was someone out there who could save me

Someone who could put me back together

I'm drowning in a sea of my own thoughts, do I really matter

Can someone end this disaster

This dream of escaping this purgatory eludes me once I open my eyes

Thoughts of it all coming to an end so

That I may understand the joys of relief

Anger has become a solemn comfort

I wish that there was someone out there who could save me

Someone who could put me back together

I'm drowning in a sea of my own thoughts, do I really matter

Can someone end this disaster

I crave to be like everyone else but life has dealt me different cards

I have no control over my consciousness

Is it too late to be saved or must I suffer all my days

Why am I so useless

I want out

Get me out

I want out

God

Rescue me from my tragedy

God

Bring back my sanity

God

Rescue me from my tragedy

God

Bring me back from the edge

You said you see me for who I am

You said you have a plan

I beg you to heal me then

I call upon you with the last of my strength to make me whole

Save me, save me, oh God, save me

I wish that there was someone out there who could save me

Someone who could put me back together

I'm drowning in a sea of my own thoughts, do I really matter

Can someone end this disaster

Do I really matter

Can someone end this disaster

2. Insult To Injury 3:05

The abuse and neglect became worse with

Every passing moment but I took it with a smile

Because I loved you even though my mind told me to leave you

My heart could not bear to live a life without you

Seeing the light drained from my eyes was your dream

Blistering memories

Can't you see what you have done to me

Falling victim to your fantasy

Your fantasy

I choose this path and I believed that

Pain was just your way of showing your love

And that if I stayed the hurt would go away but it never did

It never did

Now I'm left running away, picking up

The pieces of my image I could not save

You will never see me again

You will never see me again

You wanted me gone

You wanted me dead

Now that I'm gone

Now can you sleep at night

Seeing the light drained from my eyes was your dream

Blistering memories

Can't you see what you have done to me

Falling victim to your fantasy

Your fantasy

This is not the end of this story

Because I escaped this suffering

You wanted me gone

You wanted me dead

Now that I'm gone

You will never see me again

3. Notice On The Door 3:55

Is this where my heart belongs

These gates, will I make it through

Or will I fall, or will I fall

This devastation, will it end

Bonded by a world of sin

Is my judgment, forsaken

Will I make it through

I'm lost, I don't know which way to turn

Confusion's setting in, I'm no longer standing firm

My faith is bleeding out, the pressure is too much

I smile on the outside, but I know it's just crutch

I know this smile is just a crutch because

My spirit can't handle it, the air is too thin

I can't seem to outrun my demons

Is this where my heart belongs

These gates, will I make it through

Or will I fall, or will I fall

This devastation, will it end

Bonded by a world of sin

Is my judgment, forsaken

Will I make it through

This war is everlasting, so entrapping

Can I choose between the two paths

I need guidance

Tired of living a life of self-destruction

Living in a world that has nothing to offer

I raise my hands and surrender to you

Because this course you've laid out is the only real truth

The time is now

This wisdom I have gained from a weakened mind

A broken body, a darkened soul

I made my decision

My God I choose you

You strengthened my mind

Purified my soul

Healed my body and saved my life

Is this where my heart belongs

These gates, will I make it through

Or will I fall, or will I fall

This devastation, will it end

Bonded by a world of sin

Is my judgment, forsaken

Will I make it through

You are the answer, my destination

I leave this notice on the door for those who are lost

4. The Last Action Hero Never Died 3:23

This time I'll open up your eyes

And light up your world like fireflies

And I know somehow that things will change

I stood by you through all these days

I won't let this fall apart this time

And I believe that

Everyone is still alive inside

So let go of all the things that you have held so tight

Go ahead now

Just let them go

This time I'll open up your eyes

And light up your world like fireflies

Under your skin I'll find my way in

I'll show you the world can be yours again

This time you're alive

Shed the weight of a worried soul

Forget the things that you were told

Open the doors that time has closed

And I will show you

It's not the sky that's been falling down

Pick up your feet

Get carried off the ground

Let it go

Just let it go

This time I'll open up your eyes

And light up your world like fireflies

Under your skin I'll find my way in

I'll show you the world can be yours again

This time you're alive

If I could change your mind

Change how you feel inside

There's nothing I won't do

To make you feel alive this time

This time I'll open up your eyes

And light up your world like fireflies

Under your skin I'll find my way in

I'll show you the world can be yours again

This time you're alive

5. Test And Comfort (The Voice Of Christ, Pt. 3) 3:43

6. Spoken Word 2:26

You have fought for so long

You have grown so weary

But know that help is on the way

Just know your journey will come to an end

Because he promised you safety and security

So rise

So rise

Upon the ashes

Upon the ashes

You will rise upon the ashes

Because he has already been by your side

Guiding you

Helping you

So whenever you fall, stand

Whenever you feel weary, pray

Because he said all is possible through me

7. Saturate 3:57

Let's go

I used to think that I could get

Through anything that came my way on my own

But you showed me different

Showed me that I didn't have to be alone

I'm not on my own, that's why

I give you glory

I give you all of me

You sacrificed yourself so I could be redeemed

You are worthy

You give me strength when I am weak

You surrounded me with grace and pulled me from the ledge

You've always been with me

Even when your name I did not defend

My heart of stone you helped it to beat again

I give you glory

I give you all of me

You sacrificed yourself so I could be redeemed

You are worthy

You give me strength when I am weak

When I rejected you

You kept me close

You brought me through my trials even when I had doubt

You shed light even in my darkest hour

I come before you to glorify you

I give you glory

I give you all of me

You sacrificed yourself so I could be redeemed

You are worthy

You give me strength when I am weak

8. Bellum 3:23

Be a force for good, raise your spirit

Don't allow evil to stand to in your presence

Let the Holy Spirit fill your essence

Live what's right and spread his message

Entities cloaked as vile men and plagued with all types of vices

Feeding on the soul in this spiritual war, do not be deceived

Be a force for good, raise your spirit

Don't allow evil to stand to in your presence

Let the Holy Spirit fill your essence

Live what's right and spread his message

I hold the truth so there is no one who can halt my progression

Chains of man's shallow conviction

Holds place over the shadows and the damned

With my sword and shield in hand

I'll fight off the dread of man

Shout his name in victory

We will slay our enemies

With his light I'll lift the veil and break hell's spell

With his light I'll lift the veil and break hell's spell

Behold the motions that I set into play

I will break down all the evil that I face

My spirit will not fail in this corrupted place

So I will not bow even if my body breaks

Be a force for good, raise your spirit

Don't allow evil to stand to in your presence

Let the Holy Spirit fill your essence

Live what's right and spread his message

With his light I'll lift the veil and break hell's spell

Behold the motions that I set into play

I will break down all the evil that I face

9. Phoenix 3:23

This is a modest action

God's will, a selfless choice

We all must come together and form one holy voice

Just in time for forgiveness

Those against us stare and point

We open our arms, loving

His grace won't disappoint

They tried to burn our crosses

They thought they'd tear us down

But our faith burns stronger

It ignites our passion's sound

We've cut down every sinner

Absolve them of remorse

They've grown their wits much thinner

But we take a higher course

He rose up like a phoenix

Ascended from the grave

He taught us to be truthful so we could be saved

Victory we are the warriors of passion, light and faith

We carry all our blessings, we live infinite grace

This is the will of Jesus

To make the most of all our days

God's only manifestation into flesh, we'll change our ways

They tried to burn our crosses

They thought they'd tear us down

But our faith burns stronger

It ignites our passion's sound

We've cut down every sinner

Absolve them of remorse

They've grown their wits much thinner

But we take a higher course

10. Worship 4:04

There are days where I felt that there was no hope

Days that I felt that sin had taken over me

But then you remind that all is good by your name

So long as we fight by your name

Blessed is the one

Who does not step with the wicked or sit in its company

Blessed is the one

Whose delight is in the law of the Lord

We rejoice and sing his name

We are now sinners that are saved by grace

So we fall to our knees and we lift our hands

We give you praise, we give you thanks

You have pulled us through the darkest of nights

You shine like the brightest of days

Your majesty with a name above all who rose from the grave

To save us from mistakes we've made

We rejoice and sing his name

We are now sinners that are saved by grace

So we fall to our knees and we lift our hands

We give you praise, we give you thanks

Right now I come before you to announce that Christ

Christ you are God

You are Lord

You are my savior

We rejoice and sing his name

We are now sinners that are saved by grace

So we fall to our knees and we lift our hands

We give you praise, we give you thanks

11. Proverbs 4:29

This reflection that you see isn't free

Extinguish your fear, defeat your animosity

Burn the flesh and live his passion

Embrace his judgment and let him bless you with grace

For demons cried out in fear and angels sang their foreboding song

Because the Lord has come

Forget the world that has rejected you

You live in this world but don't be of it

Live by your faith, reject your desires

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

And do not lean on your own understanding

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make a way

Be not wise in your own eyes

Fear the Lord and turn from evil

It will be healing to your flesh and breathe new life in you

Breathe new life in you

Shatter the mirror reflecting the chains

These chains that bind you, cast off the shadows of doubt

Let your star glimmer brightly

Do not wish, for wishing is only thinking

Know all this struggle has made you stronger

Even if you fall weak you will never fall to the enemy

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

And do not lean on your own understanding

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make a way

Be not wise in your own eyes

Fear the Lord and turn from evil

It will be healing to your flesh and breathe new life in you

Breathe new life in you

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

Don't lean on your own understanding

Conservation Of The Spirit (EP)

June 29, 2018, Manifest Records (Digital)

June 29, 2018, Independent (Digital)

1. Inauguration 1:01

This tug of war for the heart

Is a struggle as long as eternity

A mind split between two paths due to embracing uncertainty

But his grace clears the fog from our vision

God Almighty is he

2. My Message To The Almighty 3:39

So

I perish the thoughts of tomorrow in a sea of flames

In a sea of flames

I left my past in the wake of yesterday

Oh

I walk your path still framed

Because I live your moments

I will not change my faith

Will not change my faith

'Cause you're the one who was here when I went astray

I walk blindly knowing that he is my guide

Graciously covered by your life

I will live your way, I will live by faith

Lord because of you I have been saved

I no longer hear these voices

When those screams turned silent

I knew that the war was won

Against the chaos in me

I walk blindly knowing that he is my guide

Graciously covered by your life

I will live your way, I will live by faith

Lord because of you I have been saved

You gave me strength, I will not hide

You told me to stand so I will now rise

You showed me this path with your guiding light

I confess that you saved me almighty Christ!

I walk blindly knowing that he is my guide

Graciously covered by your life

I will live your way, I will live by faith

Lord because of you I have been saved

Because of you I've been saved

You killed the slave from within

So I walk this path of righteousness

The life I have you define

I live for your name

3. From A Sinner To A Saint 3:33

Beyond the glass is a choice that I must make

Which will lead to eternal life or pain and suffering?

Shattering the void and shedding this desire

Will lead me to this place I was meant to be

These endless pleasures comfort me in my time of need

Disregard one's faith

Indulge in this world

That preys upon the weak

This destructive nature fills my core

With this temptation that I want to keep

But these hands suffocate me so I cannot scream

But know that I won't belong to you

So know that I will never belong to you

As I walk through the valley

Of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil

Lord... this I offer and vanquish all its remnants

Beyond the glass is a choice that I must make

Which will lead to eternal life or pain and suffering?

Shattering the void and shedding this desire

Will lead me to this place I was meant to be

The blood of my enemies will lay waste at my feet

I will not fall

I will slay all those who come against me who don't belong

Death to all my demons

I shall cast off my sin

Showered in the blood of grace

I have risen from my grave

From my grave

Beyond the glass is a choice that I must make

Which will lead to eternal life or pain and suffering?

Shattering the void and shedding this desire

Will lead me to this place I was meant to be

4. A Life Worth Living 3:38

A brightly-lit candle, snuffed out too soon

No hero in sight to hear the cries of the victims

Tainted whispers heard in the distance

Wishing it as all over in an instance

The starry night sky grows dimmer and dimmer

The innocent's heart grows cold like the winter

But it's understandable when the victim gets punished

And the bully goes free, and the bullied goes back to being hunted

Now we got a person who wants to end it all

Because the loudest voices were those who were doing wrong

Those in this situation please stay strong

I'm asking for those who are going through it, please hold on

'Cause there is a light at the end of the tunnel

I know you feel there is no end to your struggle

But life gets better (please hold on)

There are those who'll miss you when you're gone

The depression and anxiety has you feeling like you're dead

But walking among the living

You shout on the inside

Wishing that this suffering would end

You reach out but all you receive is criticism

So now you feel alone and afraid

Because you can't trust the thoughts going through your own brain

Overtime the decision becomes clear

The decision that your loved ones fear

You believe that you should end everything

But that is not the way

'Cause there is a light at the end of the tunnel

I know you feel there is no end to your struggle

But life gets better (please hold on)

There are those who'll miss you when you're gone

You're loved

You're loved, so please stay

Because we will

We'll miss you if you are gone

You are worth more than pearls and diamonds

You will always matter to those closest to you

So grab on to that glimmer of hope

And take back the life that this world has stolen

Hope is not lost

Just stand up and walk

Have faith you can make it through

There's people by your side who believe you

Hope is not lost

Just stand up and walk

Have faith you can make it through

There's people by your side who believe you

5. Bravery In Miles 3:24

I have shown respect to prove myself and this is what I get

I'm glad for this

Relinquishing my debt, no longer shaking to the thought of regret

Your undying words will stay with me for an eternity

While I fall victim to your ways of holy supremacy

Inching its way in my soul the one and only entity

I will never wither from the venom of my enemies

I will spread your word and heed your...

I will spread your word and heed your name

I can't hide these feelings anymore

I won't hide these feelings anymore

Because he will not hold me back

Making its way out my mind, a restless sea from the departured me

Oh you think he's finished here, the best is yet to come

Oh you think he's finished here, the best is yet to come

These are my dying ways, like moths to the flame

I'm never going back

Back on what you say

My heart's forever anchored and I will never drift away no matter what

I will not falter, I will not give in

I will not break, I will never let him go

6. The Flood Gates 3:23

The flood gates are open

The flood gates are open

The Holy Spirit is flowing in

Satan fears us because he cannot win

We have Christ within us

We are protected on the battlefield

Satan fears us because it's righteousness we wield

We have the power to destroy the forces of the enemy

The light within us will never fade 'cause you ignite our flames

You guide us with your word and strengthen us with your grace

The enemy can try as hard as he can to convert us

The Holy Spirit convicts us and keeps us safe

The Holy Spirit, it keeps us safe

Fear will never take hold and doubt will never take root

'Cause God's salvation is absolute

The enemy will never drag us down

We may be born of sin but Satan will never win

The light within us will never fade 'cause you ignite our flames

You guide us with your word and strengthen us with your grace

The enemy can try as hard as he can to convert us

The Holy Spirit convicts us and keeps us safe

The light within us will never fade

You guide us with your words

The enemy will never convert us

The Holy Spirit will keep us safe

Christ, he died for our sins

Satan fears that because he knows he cannot win

7. This Killing Is The Devil's Blessing 3:47

I came to the understanding that my life was in need of meaning

I needed something worth believing

So I searched the globe for an answer that would satisfy these matters

There's no conclusion I would gather

To clear this disaster because

I'm still a slave to this worldly master

I refused to strip away all that was important to me

Or sacrifice my pride to cleanse my soul

I refused to cleanse my soul

A burden of life which glimmers clearly

A wanted gift that I threw away

This treasure I saw as a curse led me to this

Now I deal with the everyday burden of falling to my past mistake

This pain's a drive that can drive you on

Drive you to push harder than before

Drive you to places you'd never expect

And if left unchecked it can lead to death

Clearly I face a conflict within myself

Within myself

This darkness eats away at me

I need some help

I need help

A burden of life which glimmers clearly

A wanted gift that I threw away

This treasure I saw as a curse led me to this

There is no longer a balance between these opposing sides within me

Death will welcome me with open arms

Unless I change my ways

Diamond Pierced Eyes (single, September 27, 2019, Independent) (Digital)

1. Diamond Pierced Eyes 3:31

An ocean's cure breaks the walls of your mind

Your eyes now see the fallacy of your codependence

Nearness has never made my heart grow fonder for you

The manipulation and the lies, you were my favorite plaything

The strings now cut from the puppet, I have now lost control

Scars from my silver tongue now begin to heal

As the light cuts through the fog

You see through the lies that are me

I tried to break you but you would not fall

You held your head high and showed me that I'm nothing more

Than a stain that you wiped from your memory

Your life purged of the sickness that is me

A small frame that held so much strength

I could not let it exist

I became the toxic thorn that poisoned you to make you weak

Because I needed the control

Became the shadow that isolated you

The chains that held you in place

You broke free from it all

I tried to break you but you would not fall

You held your head high and showed me that I'm nothing more

Than a stain that you wiped from your memory

Your life purged of the sickness that is me

I fear those diamond pierced eyes

I hate those diamond pierced eyes

Please close those haunting eyes

Why won't you close your eyes

I tried to break you but you would not fall

You held your head high and showed me that I'm nothing more

Than a stain that you wiped from your memory

Your life purged of the sickness that is me

You told me that this is not the end of your story

That I would never see you again

I'm haunted by those diamond pierced eyes

Why can't I put these eyes to sleep

The Devil's Forge (single, November 15, 2019, Independent) (Digital)

1. The Devil's Forge 3:12

Breaking down in the depths of my mind

I'm consumed with malignant despair

Stepping through a spiritual gate that steeps my soul into a cauldron

Filled with my demise

These evil thoughts take a form and begin to stir the pot

I search for the light only to find

I'm being pulled deeper into the devil's forge

The demon keeper stands with a cleaver, holding a meager soul

Chucked into the black flames, my soul screams

The demon fiend looks at me as he feeds

He points to the door and says...

He points to the door and says...

Rest in damnation

I am pride and greed

Rest in damnation

I am lust and gluttony

Rest in damnation

I am sloth and evil

Rest in damnation

I am wrath

I search for the light only to find

I'm being pulled deeper into the devil's forge

The demon keeper stands with a cleaver, holding a meager soul

Chucked into the black flames, my soul screams

The demon fiend looks at me as he feeds

Faith Or Desire (EP, February 14, 2020, Independent) (Digital)

The name is mistyped as "Faith OF Desires" on the Bandcamp page.

1. Fate Of A Sinner 3:37

I should've put my trust in you

If I did I would have learned what it meant to live

Instead I worshipped the ways of this world

And walked this land as if you were not God

Within us there are two natures at war, the good and the vil

The fear that I can't move past, my day of judgment

It keeps me bound within this unseen twilight

I should have trusted you, I should have trusted you

Now I'm confined to this endless torture

I never viewed this world as my enemy

All I did was make it a part of me

Now this war is won

Is won

By the spawns embedded in me

Spawns embedded in me

To know I've earned my place

Among the populace of the damned

The fear that I can't move past, my day of judgment

It keeps me bound within this unseen twilight

I should have trusted you, I should have trusted you

Now I'm confined to this endless torture

I regret the time that I wasted

Breathing the life of, of corruption

As I walk down the spiral staircase

Where nothing awaits me

Nothing awaits me

For all of those who walk this road

I'll see you in Hell

As I fade into this endless abyss

I leave this message for all those who follow in my footsteps

I'll see you in Hell

2. Demon Slayer 2:45

Cast you out, cast you out, cast you out, cast you out

Devil, you won't keep me hostage

Break the line, break the line, break the line, break the line

Demon, you won't keep me under

End your reign, end your reign, end your reign, end your reign

I will make you beg for mercy

Bring you down, bring you down, bring you down, bring you down

At the gates of hell I'll slay you

I will bring you down to your knees

Where I will chain you to the souls of the damned

You try to infect us

Beast, I will watch you burn and turn your bones into a holy armor

I will never stop fighting until I decimate the fallen one's army

Through the power of my Savior, I will overcome this disgusting entity

You can't use your serpent's tongue

With your jagged horns stuffed down your throat

Hallowed by Thy name

Severed and left to rot

The souls that you feed on will be exhumed and vitalized

Desolation of this hell that you abode will only be the start

Your death is a message for the leader of the Armageddon

I will make Satan wish he never fell from heaven

I will never stop fighting until I decimate the fallen one's army

Through the power of my Savior, I will overcome this disgusting entity

I will cast you out

I will break the line

I will end your reign

I will take your head

Devil your life is mine

1. Dissonant Truth 3:12

Move

I have lost everything

But gained more than I could've imagined because I gave myself to you

I have gained more than I could have imagined because I gave myself to you

The world hates this worldview

It hates this dissonant truth

But I will never forsake you

When I could not stand, when I was broken, when I was hurting

You were there

Christ in you I believe, your grace brings relief

Your word brings peace, it brings deliverance

Your Holy Spirit cannot be diminished

I will spread the Word of God until my last breath

Corpus Christi (single, October 31, 2020, Manifest Records) (Digital)

1. Corpus Christi 3:14

Seven trumpets will mark the judgment of the living on earth

Four devastations and three woes

These are seven redemptive judgments to plague earth while salvation is still possible before the close of mercy

So consider the day of atonement

The end is coming

A fire engulfs the sky, we walk these lines until we die

The destroyer writhes in exile and takes the lives of the entitled

As I come to this path of repentance

We nailed our savior for absolution of the human race

The sinners who walk along the crooked line are condemned

As I come to this path of repentance

The sinners who walk along the crooked line are condemned

A black sun comes over the horizon

Water stops flowing, the earth starts shaking

The harbinger is coming to reap

Why do we question our faith

Manipulated lands no longer stand, as we slap our father's hand

Where will you stand when this world can't satisfy your hands

The Lord will enforce an accord which will help us take our souls by force

Thus we're equivocal by those who live by the serpent's sermon

Et accepto calice gratias egit et dixit accipite et dividite inter vos

Et accepto pane gratias egit et fregit et dedit eis dicens

Hoc est enum corpus meum

Quod pro vobis datur hoc facite in meam

Decisions (EP)

November 30, 2020, Manifest Records (Digital)

November 30, 2020, Independent (Digital)

1. Adventure Time 4:02

The clock strikes the hour when decision has to be made

A decision made by the life you held as you wither away

Now that the bill comes due, which gate will you walk through

Time evaporates into nothingness

Years down the drain and only a few remain

You will receive what you were promised

You will be afforded what you deserved

Either a crown of relief or a crown of torment

This war wages on in every single person, the light and the dark

But the dark will never prevail if you keep Christ in your heart

The inner struggles that you faced, did you ever give in

So either choose the darkness or destroy it with the full force of heaven

The illusions are tough to see through, or was it by design

All of creation shouts, the truth will set you free

Walking the tight rope between order and chaos

This game that is played is lost most often

Free will is the reality, but you can't serve two masters

When seeking freedom do you know which king that you sought

This war wages on in every single person, the light and the dark

But the dark will never prevail if you keep Christ in your heart

The inner struggles that you faced, did you ever give in

So either choose the darkness or destroy it with the full force of heaven

As you lie down and the light fades from your eyes

Fades from your eyes, fades from your eyes

Do you know who will meet you at the final hour to be your guide

2. Silence Is Also Suicide 3:35

I have gained the wisdom to understand

What happens when a person does not take action

Time waits for no one and can't be undone

So hold on for dear life 'cause life is precious

His whole life he had nothing but the scars from a broken home

An abusive father, a drunken mother, a family that never loved him

This fear of this nightmare pushes him to take the route

Which would make everything disappear

How could we forsake him, how could we blame him

When we were the ones who pushed him to this

Now

Now we stand here criticizing his decision

When we had the power to save him

We had the power to save him

I have gained the wisdom to understand

What happens when a person does not take action

Time waits for no one and can't be undone

So hold on for dear life 'cause life is precious

She had everything anyone could ask for

Money, friends, a loving family

But she was all alone, she felt so alone

If only we knew that she was alone

We could have found a way to save her life

We could have found a way to save her life

But we stand here judging her decision

Death waits for you

For all those who stand there judging their decision

Death waits for you

1. Amongst The Saved And Broken 1:04

The fall of all the liars

The rise of all that's called him

Visions of salvation in the hands of all who need it

A plight upon the land

A diamond turned to sand

The sky has spoken

We walk amongst the saved and broken

2. Equality Is An Illusion 4:00

Equality is an illusion the masses desperately seek

No one can ever be identical

These inherited differences that set us apart makes us who we are

Why does everyone want to be the same?

Identity is part of one's life

We spend decade's searching to find out who we are just to throw it away

We claim to be individuals but fight to fall in line

Society has based its ideals in fiction

Claiming to move forward we must cling to uniformity instead of understanding

This is not how reality works

Wake up from the slumber you're trapped in

Rewrite the pages of this world's false narrative

Don't you let the pain and the same trap you into being something passive to the masses

Break the bonds so you're no longer captive

Learn to fight and you learn to take action

Stand for who you are

Everything will never be rooted in equality

There is only one destiny we all win death's lottery

No one has control over the fairness in their life

But you can stand for who you are

Win with the cards that you were dealt

Win with the cards that you were dealt

History has taught us that conformity has gotten us nowhere

Wake up from the slumber you're trapped in

Rewrite the pages of this world's false narrative

Don't you let the pain and the same trap you into being something passive to the masses

Break the bonds so you're no longer captive

Learn to fight and you learn to take action

Stand for who you are

Acceptance will make the oncoming revelation that much easier

The collapsing construct

We will not make it out

This reality is not what it seems

Open up your eyes and see who you are

3. Manipulation By Design 5:35

Why should I apologize for the monster I've become

No one apologized for making me this way

Left alone in a desolate hell

Shrouded by deceit

Not knowing a future of jubilation

Vehemence but a veil of lies

Corruption surrounded by these thorns

This burning ice that deafens the soul

This cooling flame that blinds my senses

Warmth I failed to recognize as it's something that I never knew

Restrained by constant fear

Rejection has become a valiant companion

A vizard to blend in with your façade

This disease ridden mind of mine is the result of your actions

If only you could understand it

Understand that I did not choose to have this

Un-break my mind

Un-break my mind

Reverse the time so I can live this life

This life of mine

You swore you'd be there for me

But what was a fallacy

This clarity has become reality

Un-break my mind so I can finally be free

False beliefs that should never have been given

Injected with your sense of stability

Molded into the remnants of a forgotten ego

The vivid evocation of my being further fragments my sanity

Un-break my mind

Reverse the time so I can live this life

This life of mine

You swore you'd be there for me

But what was a fallacy

This clarity has become reality

Un-break my mind so I can finally be free

Who knew that abandonment could be so freeing

My future has been released

This newfound perception

Will guide me to rise from the ashes

I am the one who survived in your shadow

I no longer accept your betrayal

I deny you space in mind

I will sacrifice all of the essence

Even if it means I break

I will not wish death on you because you're already dead to me

4. Survivors Torment 4:10

No matter how many righteous deeds I commit, my past failure lingers

Frozen in that instance I can't seem to let go

I guess I was never meant to be your hero

Imprisoned in my own mind to relive your fate over and over again

Do I want a way to escape or am I looking for you to take the blame

Stagnant is a situation of your own design or is it mine

I can no longer tell

Is this situation of my own design

Too scared to face the issues that only I can comprehend

Because I could realize that I'm the reason, the reason that you ended up dead

These emotions I can't begin to explain

These emotions are driving me insane

You are the cause to it all; you were the cause to my fall

I'm spiraling rapidly I can't seem to climb out

The space between us has forever run out

Grief fills the solace I once had

I wish I could wipe the system

I walk a wayward path to solve this crisis

You were everything to me

Why did you ask me to take your final breath

I can't tell if I am moving forward or if I've regressed

Broken does not describe how I am

One day I hope I can put myself together before I waste away in the end

Why was I made to fulfill your last request

Was it out of love or out of spitefulness

Did you want me to carry the guilt of your death

Your casket holds the remains of the turmoil I sustained

I wish I could replace you

Replace you in that grave

This casket I deserve it more than you do

I wish the earth would embrace me

So I could relinquish the memories I have of you

5. Plight Of The Wicked 4:11

I sought deification of my mortal soul

The ghost of innocence departs for now I take control

My fate has been ordained

Reprisal cast away

Danced with the devil now my destiny awaits

Dishonor thy father disparage thy name

Pay with agony

Perish in flame

Perish in flame

Eternal imprisonment legacy shamed

Shattering mirror my fear was to blame

Fractured spirits seeking refuge in this void of time

Diminished sanctum turned my back now I must reap what's mine

Fate befalls me now there is no restitution

Consummation of existence

Judgement day for every human

I exalt you only now for I was far too weak

The helmet of salvation lying dormant at my feet

Permeate the great divide

Permeate the great divide

Pain befalls my mind

Cast the pearls before the swine

Existence now bereft of light

No chance to make it right

All consuming torture with no end in sight

Boiling flesh consumes my body as I reap my fate

Fate befalls me now there is no restitution

Fate befalls me now this divine retribution

Existence now bereft of light

I exalt you only now for I was far too weak

Existence now bereft of light

Damnation will now forever be mine

6. Darkness Into Daylight 3:34

Falling down

A deep pit of misery

Pull me out from this darkness down underneath

My mind escapes

I can barely breathe

Searching for the light but it's too dark to see

Got confused with this false misconception

Dragged down to the core with miscommunication

I know the path has been hard for me

But why did you let me burn so easily

Losing hope and sense of stability

Falling further than my mind can see

Falling into the dark

I'm becoming senseless my mind is falling apart

My mind is fading it's getting harder and harder to keep me from hitting the ground

Nothing has ever been easy for me

You had to go and turn your back on me

I'm crawling out from the darkness this time

Why did you leave me out to dry

Getting help from this comatose that's kept me in this black hole

Falling into the dark

I'm becoming senseless my mind is falling apart

My mind is fading it's getting harder and harder to keep me from hitting the ground

And this nightmare is over I was coming to you for closure

I'm coming to grip that this is over

This is over!

No tricks

Straight line

I'm turning darkness into daylight

No sleep just a straight line

I'm turning darkness into daylight

No sleep just a straight line

I'm turning darkness into daylight

7. These Two Sides Are Not Part Of The Same Coin 3:14

The ashes of the scorched earth embedded in the sky

We execute the prophecy

Life filled husks with arms raised high

Praying to be engulfed in the light

We will choose the mark or suffer for eternal life

Misery loves the scent of the diseased

Thorns pierce the flesh of the righteous and the weak

Voices scream into the endless air

These voices will scream of life or despair

I am heartbreak I am love

I represent all those who've fallen

The light of life within a world of good and evil

A symbol of my destiny

My nature captured in the immortal scenery

Chances offered but not taken

Warnings given but never listened to

The sirens sound with the rulers return

Pleas of emancipation echo through heaven's corridors

Will our names be in the book of death or life

I am heartbreak I am love

I represent all those who've fallen

The light of life within a world of good and evil

A symbol of my destiny

My nature captured in the immortal scenery

As your world fades and the books turn the page which will have saved your name

Death awaits us all, inescapable

Death awaits us all, inescapable

Name

Will your name be written on the page of eternal death or life

8. Praxis 3:09

I will never forgive you

Is what I told myself because of all the anger that I felt

You left me a wreck, you left me in shambles

Everything about me you dismantled

You laughed in the wake of my suffering

In my dreams you kept haunting me

But he showed himself to me and told me everything will be okay

Endure the heartache endure the pain

The second definition of faith

Believe it all, deny him nothing

So stick by your faith and know it's okay

You left me alone

Can't you see that it's done to me

It wasn't your fault

But look what it's done to me

I mourn but you won't return to me

I felt alone for so long because you were taken from me

But he showed himself to me and told me everything will be okay

Endure the heartache endure the pain

The second definition of faith

Believe it all, deny him nothing

So stick by your faith and know it's okay

All I have known is the way I have been

In a world I don't even know

Is there a way for me to be free

From the bondage that holds me

Believe in his word because he said everything will be okay

Believe his word, believe his word, everything will be okay

9. The Creed Of Blasphemy 3:29

Dimensions augmented into the translucence of the eternal reality

Years of civilization coagulate into entropic devastation

Humankind trivialized in a seemingly infinite battle between factions of power

Transcend a god-like essence

Exhume the cadaver of traditions long forgotten

Perception shrouds

Divine intellect

Dimensions unforeseen beckons tribulation

The prophecies been cast asunder

Eternal war

Millenniums of anguish

Internal dichotomy

Consumed for those he vanquish

Microcosmic organisms claim heir to the cosmic throne

Hypocrisy and apathy reign supreme

One chance one way, the systems have been long decayed

Cry for the martyr don't let this struggle be in vain

Don't be afraid just take his hand he'll lead the way

Unsheathe the blade, the belief remains

Instincts repressed

Centuries of decay veiled by materialism

The warrior sheaths his blade whilst the philosopher weeps

Manic apparitions or a glimpse of divinity

Cosmic entities triangulate this point of inception

The frailness of beings gives way to the probing of consciousness from celestial beings

The ethereal substance that serves as the bond between fades like a candle to the sun

To the sun

One chance one way, the systems have been long decayed

Cry for the martyr don't let this struggle be in vain

Don't be afraid just take his hand he'll lead the way

Unsheathe the blade, the belief remains

Hate for hate

Love for love

War for war

Blood for blood

City streets filled with the painstaking cry of a system long decayed

Suffering unfathomable eternal consciousness slipping through the gates of perception

Rendering the illusion of comfort

10. What's Left Of Nowhere 3:35

11. Pronouncement Of The King (Praxis, Pt. 2) 3:38

Filled with the scars from what I've left behind

A tragic story of unfit designs

You are the author to my story

So is this ending I face a new beginning

I know

This feeling all too well

An affliction that refused to heal

A life deemed worthless by fate

Bound by these deeds that I wish to escape

Sabotaged by a past that wants to see my world collapse

His grace he lent out a helping hand

And with a gentle whisper told me to stand

I surrender this worldly façade to become the image that you have made

Lord I ask for your salvation

Filled with the scars from what I've left behind

A tragic story of unfit designs

You are the author to my story

So is this ending I face a new beginning

Running and hiding I thought was the answer to combat this dark essence

All it did was drown me under the surface

A shadow so dark that held me in place

As tears of regret hit the nothingness

A light appeared on the straight and narrow

And showed me you are my peace

As you raised me to my feet

No longer filled with the scars from what I've left behind

A tragic story that no longer plagues my mind

You are the author to my story

I now know this ending I face is a new beginning

Lord I live by your salvation

I declare in this place that you are GOD

Christ I live by your grace

I declare that I am saved by your name

12. Restoration Of The Soul 4:04

No longer do I walk the broad path

I walk the straight and narrow

The price of death has been paid

Unearned forgiveness cast upon the spirit

It was inevitable that my ways would succumb to change

Wickedness has been purged from the flesh

A blemish made perfect only by your grace

A fallen creature restored to its intended design

Life has been given abundantly

I have faith in the king so no need for me to wish

I stand tall in who I am so what you see is no myth

My surface stable I'm not moving even if the earth shift

My life was turned around when the Lord rose me from the crypt

No longer do I have a heart of stone it was shattered to pieces

When I decided to accept the name of Jesus

I do my best to abide by what the word preaches

I repent when I lose sight of what the Lord teaches

Devastation

The world confident in its ignorant belief that it could dethrone you and pass judgment

I reject its influence and stand steadfast ready to combat its authority

All creation will bow; will bow upon seeing your gaze

The winds traversing the globe will cease upon hearing your name

The mountains will crumble and the earth will shake

As the trumpets sound and we are screaming your name

Though still a sinner, I'm a sinner saved by grace

Cleansed by the baptism of the spirit

Released from the claws of temptation

I fight in the army of the kingdom

God you are the catalyst that deviated me from perdition

Stripped bare, my soul has been offered

My transgressions forgiven

Wisdom bestowed unto me, I navigate this worldly maze

Death no longer has meaning because of the act he committed out of love

All creation will bow; will bow upon seeing your gaze

The winds traversing the globe will cease upon hearing your name

The mountains will crumble and the earth will shake

As the trumpets sound and we are screaming your name

I carry my cross and walk with you as you command

No tribulation can stop the might of the holy lamb

The world's judgment has no power to lay waste to my path

I pick up my cross and walk with you

I picked up my cross as he walks with me

13. Dreams And Nightmares 1:05

You are the weak that wants to be strong

You are the strong that's not strong enough

Lay seeds of devastation

Lay siege to the fallen

This is a battle

The light against the dark

1. Child Of The King 5:07

Worthless I'm losing my sanity

Tied up by the noose of my misery

Beaten down, down until I descend

Into madness, I am manic

How will I see the end when I'm

Born a failure, regarded as obscene

A canvas painted with nothing but slurs and mockery

This world celebrates my inadequacies

This is my reality, perceived unsightly, the highest degree of toxicity

Nothing more than a thing

Betrayed by those who were closest to me

Pledges that lulled me into complacency

Looked at with contempt by society

Cast out like a plague to humanity

Recognized as the lowest of the low

Even so you showed me I'm worth saving

Even so there you stood by showing me I'm worth saving

I call out your name 'cause you've been there for me

You've protected me in all, in all the things I do

So I walk this world no longer afraid

You would not stand by and let, let a child of yours die

You fulfilled every promise that you've proclaimed

You are my salvation I concede to your ways

I have given all of myself to you because you've never failed me

Betrayed by those closest to me

Pledges that lulled me into a sense of security

Yet you lent out your hand just to show me

That you've stood by me, I'm worth saving

And though I walk through the darkest valley

Whose shadow falls all around me

I hear your voice

As it whispers in my ear

I will not fear now

Your words are a lamp unto my feet

Guiding me down a straight and narrow path

While the wind and waves will try their best

I'm standing on a firm foundation

Betrayed by those closest to me

Pledges that lulled me into a sense of security

Yet you lent out your hand just to show me

That you've stood by me, I'm worth saving

Remembrance of these faded scars

Betrayal that robbed me, robbed me of my dignity

The echoes of humiliating laughter that haunts me in my dreams

You washed it all away and changed my entire being

Lies of stability wash away the sorrow from me

I'm crying out dear God

Lies of misery tearing at my very bones

I need your guidance

But then you reach out your hand

So you can show me that there's a way to be free

From all the pain and anguish

There's a way out

You are the way out

Betrayed by those closest to me

Pledges that lulled me into a sense of security

Yet you lent out your hand just to show me

That you've stood by me, I'm worth saving

My life's a testament to who you are

So when I'm asked who am I

I will only give on answer

I'm a child of the Almighty King!
