Incorruptible (EP, August 3, 2012, Independent) (Digital)

1. The View From Ephesus 3:13
Seeker-friendly
Is what you have become
You have forgotten your first love
Your words are edifying to none

Frail intentions, abound
Broken creations, surround

He said it would be this way
Divine revelations of dismay

Children
Return

We must be constantly reminded
We reside within the will of a Father but our ambitions take control
Reconciliation with the King and allegiance to the Lamb of glory
Are the paramount concerns of the ones who wish to serve in the kingdom of the Morning Star

Your works are empty
Your words are false
Your works are empty when you seek to serve yourself

2. The Redeker Directive 4:12
Within our community
We are forsaken
By the powers that be on "Christian" TV
Corporate sponsors
Will decide the type of voice you should hear
On the airwaves
I refuse to remain in the shadows

I will be heard

You decide who should be saved
I refuse to be your slave

Separation
Was never part of the plan
We are the outcasts
This division will be the end of us all

Don't ask
What went
So wrong when
You regard
Your brothers
As expendable assets
We have no place in your hearts
Abandoned us from the start

No place within your cold dead hearts
No shelter, no haven
Left amidst the outskirts of justice
My aggression will fall
Upon the head of my enemy

This must end
My Father said it best
"A house divided will never stand"

Now my voice will be heard

3. Zodiac 5:15
This is the Zodiac speaking
I am my own worst fear
Her hazel eyes
So trusting
Now overcome with tears

Intoxicated by the sense of power
Gained from denying
A life of her own
Manipulated her love
And then betrayed it for fun
And this is what I had become

B-13290
This is a mark upon my chest
That you should know
I can never be released

Consider this your last
Warning to stay away
Or when they find you
You won't smell the same
She would not be the last
But you know what they say
The first will always maintain a special place
Consider this your last
Warning to stay away
Or when they find you
You won't smell the same
Amidst the decay

Redemption comes to those who are unfit
Redemption comes to those who don't deserve it

This is the Zodiac speaking
The living God has brought my end
The darkest part of me defeated, you'll never hear from me again...

4. Incorruptible 3:17
He was unwavering
His dedication to the King
Never faltering
And this would be
His final legacy
To be remembered
By how he embraced the end
No fear in the face of eternity
And he would not be forsaken

And evermore shall he sing in the presence of glory
Now this corruptible must put on incorruption

This is the fate that awaits the faithful
Everlasting life through the Christ
Through the willing sacrifice
Prophesy
This is the fate that awaits the faithful
For we will never die
But shed this flesh as a filthy garment

This life will fade away
But unto those who remain
A judgement awaits

And evermore shall he sing in the presence of glory
Now this corruptible has become incorruptible




The Judgement To Come (single, June 13, 2015, Independent) (Digital)

1. Intro 0:55
2. The Judgement To Come 3:57
With the church removed
And His spirit withdrawn
I know this isn't how you pictured it but "religion" is gone

This is the reward
For your decadence and rebellion
The seas will boil
The sky will be as ash
And the mountains themselves will be undone

Mercy now only a memory
A vacant hope
A fading comfort to all

Flee and find no shelter
Flee and find no rest

Is this the apex of what they knew as evolution?
Survival of the fittest was a lie
As none are fit to see the glory of the Lamb
Those who remain and shall survive

And yet only live once
Unless you're born twice
And the only thing that's in your way is pride
It took one perfect life
To pay back the price
For every law I ever broke
And those words I spoke to shame Him

Let no man claim
Ignorance at what was coming
Eternity was written in our hearts

This is your chance
An all-access pass
To perfect love
But first you have to receive Him
It doesn't matter who you were or where you've been
Through Him you can escape
The judgement to come

The lamb you mocked cannot be found
Only the lion remains
The King has come to set His house in order
The world you knew will burn away

I bring not peace
But a sword

Now join the beast within the lake of fire
Your wicked ways and world will soon expire

I bring not peace but a sword
