1. Khampa Nomads 5:33
Rocks thud against battered bodies.
One must die to see life.
Take me.
Strike me down.
Let me bleed.
Let them see.
Rejoicing in what's happened to me.
Let my screams attract you all.
My call is your great fall.
One must sacrifice his life to save his tribe.
Better one than all.
Captured by a lie and put to death by his own brother.
Take me in.
Strike me down.
I will pay for your life.
With my blood and my pain, you will be saved from death.
By my price I paid for your sins on the cross.
I will purify you and give you life.
My sin, my shame, takes its toll on my heart.
Oh how I long to be pure.
Purify me Lord.
Take my pain away.
Purify me.
Daddy where are you?
Take my pain away.
Cover me in your precious blood.
I came to this world.
I bled.
I will save your soul.
I bled.
I will give you new life.
I bled.
I will give you peace now.
I bled.
2. Walk In The Woods 5:59
Fall into my hands and sleep forever in these ashes of sorrow.
Your chains hold me down.
Your words keep me bound.
Death cries out from these ashes.
Fall into my hands and sleep forever.
Forever is so long to have to wait.
Who will save your soul?
You must pull your own way out of hell.
It's all you have to live for.
Christ, he will save your soul.
Life has passed you by.
It's your time.
Turn your eyes to the sky.
Breaking glass eyes to free your mind.
It's cried for so long.
It's crying for something.
A broken heart will free your mind.
Empty sight will bring you life.
Will bring you life.
My life falls to the ground only to shatter and be put back together again.
Renewal of my heart.
A new beginning.
Born of the son.
Born of one.
Life has begun.
As beginning goes to the end, against evil I win.
Christ has brought me out of death, saved my soul.
Christ has saved me from the pits of hell.
Giving life once more.
This time it's in your hands.
I will follow you forever.
Now I'm taking back my life.
I'm taking back life.
I'm taking back life.
Taking back my family.
I'm a warrior of life.
I hope my words get under your skin.
3. War Within 3:45
Stand, stand up, stand up.
Salute Him as your king the Lord who reigns over heaven and over earth.
Yea, you can't ignore it.
Why, it's in your head.
Now, you can't forget it.
Why, it's all be said.
Pushing, it's coming.
Rising, laughing in my face.
My head is spinning.
Lord help me please.
I need you now.
Come into my life.
The time stops.
It rises.
Now is your time.
He suffered for your sins.
He'll suffer again.
He suffered.
He suffered.
Now I feel it racing in my mind.
Stop it.
You can't take this inside.
Why do you run and hide?
His blood, it flows freely from His hands tonight.
Take it or leave it.
True love is hard to find.
4. A Call To The Martyrs 3:09
Mass murder for the sake of Christ.
Time has come to live, to die, to pass away, to burn away.
They're beating me down.
I feel no pain.
Life inside this world has come.
It lived.
It died.
It passed away.
Now is the time for selfish annihilation.
Hail Jesus, hail Christ.
Hail to the King.
Blood-covered sight.
Open my eyes.
Why can't they see you in this life?
Life has cut me down to size.
My heart is open.
I can hear you calling my name.
As you do, open my eyes.
Your life reigns.
I can hear you screaming out.
I could never ignore your call.
Now is the time.
Selfishness under my feet.
Now you can never hide the pain that lies in your heart.
It will push you straight to your grave.
Live for the Lord and you will see the truth eternally.
5. Feed On The Weak 4:56
Deception is your name.
I cried out for your hand.
All I see is your foot in my face holding me down, down on the ground.
I fall to my knees to praise my Savior.
Your eyes are so cold, your hands stained with the blood of children.
So you think you can hold me down forever.
I will rise and fight till my last breath.
You put me down to make yourself feel better.
The time has come.
I'll stand up.
Fight for Christ.
He is all I have.
I will stand for my King.
I'll praise him every day.
Rumors of men in the night, coming to take my life.
They came and took your life.
Rise again from these ashes and fight.
Fight forever.
We'll stand every day to praise His name on high.
I will stand and fight forever.
I will stand and fight forevermore.
In this life, you can't take it.
You're not real.
You can't prove you're...
You're wrong.
6. Bride's Last Kiss 3:13
Love kisses me on the cheek.
Taken my weakness away.
Weeping for these gone astray, for the lost.
For the souls, I cry out to you.
Please pull me through.
I love you.
You are my all.
You came unto me to set me free.
Won't you set me free tonight.
I feel your love tonight.
For it lies in the wind of change.
Accept it now.
For it may never come again.
For all things change.
Except his love.
It remains the same.
You came up to me to set me free.
I love you.
You are my all.
Now you are all I need in this life.
I feel your love.
I feel your love as it passes in my mind.
An ever-present peace that reigns.
Now is the time.
Run for your life.
Accept the Lord into your heart.
7. Beneath The Shadows 4:18
Steadily it pumps, over and over, knowing only the present, past forgotten, futures unknown.
Deep inside we all have fear.
Not knowing what's next scares us all.
If I could only overcome this beast.
It has become my life's goal.
Your pills, your weak minds can't heal me now.
I must walk alone.
Your thoughts of me, they'll fade away.
What's real will remain.
Why all that's false rots away.
Walk away from yourself.
Spit in the face of all men.
Turn your head up to the sky.
Confront the coward that lurks beneath the shadows.
Call him out.
Slap his face.
Walk away.
The truth remains the same.
8. Todd 6:14
Rise rotten corpses from your graves and meet Him in the sky.
Leave life's burdens behind.
I want to die.
Take my life.
I want to die to be alive.
I can't take this life, living in this lie.
Come take me away with you tonight.
Come take me away with you to die.
Lord sacrifice me to bring you glory.
Take me.
Make me a warrior.
I have stood your test.
If I can't go home with you, I will stand and fight.
I've been through hell and back.
I know you are the only way to life.
Look in my eye and see the way to freedom is through the Son.
Take His hand.
He will save you from your casket life.
Your church can be your casket.

1. Best Case Scenario 1:42
(Instrumental)
2. Worst Case Scenario 3:21
Stop running from your pain
Open your eyes
All I do seems meaningless
Still I try
Every day my heart breaks for you
My heart breaks everyday
I won't let go
I won't let you go
I know you hurt
I see you breaking down
Yet hope is found in a broken heart
Yes hope is found when your heart breaks
Your heart breaks
3. Dig Your Own Grave 3:58
There are thousands of people as far as the eyes can see
You can sense the suffering as you draw near
Standing before them you can see the pain in their eyes
It breaks the mind and weighs on the heart
Standing before them you can see the pain in their eyes
In their eyes
Now we are wading through this sea of souls
The smell of rotten flesh brings me to my knees
Now they gather, to march on to the grave
With shovels in their hands, with death in their eyes
Longing for a time of peace, longing just to die and the heavens cry
Tears fall like rain from the legions of angels weeping in pain
As they dig their own grave
They dig their own graves by the life they lived and the choices they made
Dig their own graves by choices they made
Now it's too late
The bridge has been destroyed
Now we are wading through this sea of souls
The smell of rotten flesh lets me see
4. Abbadon 3:26
Numb inside, tears eyes now dry
Take this purity
Break this beautiful child
I hope you're happy with what you've done
You murdered for the sake of one moment of pleasure
Laying alone with a broken sprit
This child is broken
This child is dying inside
This can't go on
We must stand and fight
Fight for what's right
Fight for life
A choice must be made
Sever the hand of the abuser
Strike his face
Make him bleed
But no it won't stop
It's out of our hands
Judgment shall be served
Your judgment shall be served
5. The Falling 3:59
Awake to a demon's cry
Looking up to a darkened sky
Seems like all that's good has died
Just trying one last time
Fight hard, yet losing the war
Standing so weathered and sore
We know the end is near
Yes, Hell is upon us
Doubt seeping in
From light to darkness, my world falls apart
Losing faith, losing heart
For the angel of darkness, he has come with sadness and oppression
Hatred is born
Through our weakness the angel gets in through which salvation is gone
6. Sunrise Over A Sea Of Blood 5:08
Silent and still she lies and waits
Twined with darkness
The morning fog her companion
A violent force she holds tight within her fists
Her task has been assigned
Her mission is her reason of being
Death
Each day her heart beats faster
Her horse saddles and ready to ride
With her she brings death
Never has the world seen such fear as their dreams of tomorrow shatter before them
Oh the cries of suffering and anger
No mind can comprehend as death falls like a whisper or a drop of blood
The billions of souls screaming as they're forced to escape the bodies
These lifeless bodies
And on this day, the earth shall be washed with tears
And they will fall as rain unto the heavens
So the time draws near
She is counting down
She is ready
She is the end
She is new life
Death awaits
We will embrace her or will we run, for she is swift
Not one will escape her
Not even one
7. Taste Of A Bitter Soul 3:39
I see the end of all life as death unfolds on us
The wrath of God has drawn near, as we knew it would
Our foolish thoughts and careless acts have brought us here, and if we fall we die
So cold inside
How the wind blows cold in the night
She brings suffering one can't imagine
Those who lay down in wealth will do so never again
And woe to the innocent whose faith is the sword whose faith is gone
The last seed is sown and harvest begins
Terror must be over
Take the earth
We have chosen to die
Just as we have chosen to lie
The Almighty has deafened His ear because have turned our backs
And so we fall
We all die
So cold inside
8. These Evil Days 3:17
Read the words of prophecy
See the fate of this world
Hear the cries of mankind
Ignore the pain
Watch them die
Pushed aside, no one cares
Out of state, out of mind
Why must we kill the one we love, and why do the ones who love put knives in our backs
Looking at all this hate, so many hearts, they're all black
It's these evil days
A time will come
We'll be tested
I know what I believe
I know
So put a knife to my throat and put a gun to my head
Take my life
I still win with faith, with truth in my heart
9. One Hour From Forever 4:13
It begins with an endless darkness, awaiting that ray of light
Suspended in solitude, anxiously waiting for that breath of life or the kiss of death
No one knows the way the wind will blow
To be conceived is to die
To die is to live
As the womb opens, it springs forth life
Taking in all surroundings, big eyes curious and truly fragile
God take this life
Hold it in Your hand
We can never know the true meaning of our life
As a child we have dreams, though some never see another day
The ground breaks open and takes the dead
We all will see the day
We all will stand before the Lord
10. Death Is The Beginning 8:16
I love You
You're my all
I will bow down before You
You're my God
My everything
When I fall You pick me up
You've always been there
You always will
I spit in Your face, You wash my feet
I drive nails into Your hands
Broken is Your heart because You're pushed away
Can't we understand?
Broken is the groom who mourns for his dying bride, for their eyes to open once again
I want to see You in my life
I want to know You're in my heart
I want to touch You and be free
I want to feel You
Open my eyes, let me see what You see and what You feel
Break my heart, make me desire more of You in my life
Let me know what it means to leave this world behind
Christ forgive me for running from You
I will give You all my life
Take it away now
Take this broken man
Take this tired spirit and renew me now
Renew me Jesus, I love You
You are my true love
Let my tears clean Your feet and heal Your broken heart
Here's my life
Here's my heart
Take it away with You
Take it away
