1. Burden Of Creation 2:15
Chosen, the one becoming torment
The burden falling heavy-handed
Cornered, the one who will be tested
The hammer pounding down on mercy
Morbid, the body hangs tortured
The falling out - Peter, Judas
Offer, the lamb unto the altar
The sacrifice, deemed and taken
Reflecting upon the faces
How they stare in wonder
Some expressing sorrow, pity
Others revel in mockery
This is the burden of creation
The only one we'll ever know
They placed the body in the tomb
Ripped from the hands of God
One beholden, anguish
The taking from the bread of life
Darkened skies over this communion
The pulsing veins excrete the source
The prophets telling of the weeping and gnashing
The judgment calling red, conflicted mercy
The son of God, broken open
The voices calling out, "crucify him"
Last breath pleading out, Lord forgive them
The earth embracing this blood atonement
Caught between sin and death, piercing iniquity
Through this blood all to be made new
Burdened, tortured, slain
2. The Staff That Sinks The Thorns 2:04
Puncturing crown, blinding blood spills
Sweat, burning eyes, steadfast with haste
Embedded permanence
Sunken deep into skin of living grace
Draped in linen, presented to the world
The color of a king, scarlet covered
Gored in vengeance, filth and mockery
Anguish shown through mankind's making
From the garden, towards Golgotha
Pools of running red, pierced for the sin of man
When hope was nothing more than fleeting apathy
The cross revealing, adorned in sympathy
The staff that sinks the thorns
Weighing heavy on this broken temple
The pouring of grace on a faltering people
3. Enthroned Through Agony 1:39
Drained life
Burdened spirit seeking
The dread overtaking reasoning
The weight of crushing punishment
A corroded sense of purpose, manipulated
Shaping into perplexity
Mangled and twisted
Enthroned through agony
One shall bear the burden
Broken, beaten
Distorted and deformed
Enthroned through agony
All to accept this offering
Graceful, open
This new atonement
Shrouded, tormented
The wall of sin and death gives way
Calling on the means
To ease the torment
Silence through this damnation
Cursed are the ways of man
Allowed to partake in this
Calling upon sinners
4. Splintered 1:43
Fractured body, fractured mind
Pouring blood from splintered flesh
Hung upon the cross
Condemned to hang and die
Asphyxiation from dead weight
Slowly dropping down
Lacerations pulling open
Suffering with every breath
As he asks his father why
"Father forgive them
For they know not what they do"
Splintered
The flesh, withered
Facing the death, facing the grave
Forced sacrifice, the blackest of days
Once revealed, a mortal man
Now becoming one with God
Carried along the way
Weeping tears from heaven
The suffering that awaits
The ancient torment
One by one, the pounding nails
Ripping through the sacred flesh
Gored, appalled, a grisly sight
Revealing redemption through the wounds
5. Towards The Light 2:05
Breeding death and destruction
Fractured hatred in our hands
Gorging on this feeble flesh
Deliver us from our demise
Towards the light
It brings us towards the light
Cycles play out on repeat
What we kill, sow and reap
Inflicted by the masses
Inconsistent, imperfections
Patience dwindling
Toiling and killing
Dividing within
Broken creation
Consumed by our sin
6. Shadows In Hell 1:46
Darkness of the mind
Cloaked in human form
Embedded within
Looms a pure divine light
Tarnished on the surface
Beneath, a cleansing fate awaits
A destination foretold in flame
Further down
Below the depths
To conquer oneself boldly
Empty hands claim damnation
The battle within a mystical nature
Redeemed, the purification in red
Blood drenched, sin and death flee
Shadows in hell, now reflecting
All redeeming, all consuming
Through him
7. Working Within The Wounds 2:38
Tearing open old wounds, searching
Looking deep within oneself
Vision altered, corrupt state, faltered
Blinded, reminded of their own hell
One will seek and another will find it
Some proclaim, while others deny it
Scarring over, calloused intentions
A prison of their own decisions
Reaping, the calling shaping
The path that's leading
It's working within the wounds
Breaking, the balance is breaking
It's working within the wounds
One by one until it mends
A path diverged beneath
Captivated through this trial
The burden of belief
Time will take, while judgment divides it
From the outside, no one sees
Manifested, another opens
Mending cycles on repeat
Working within the wounds

1. Born Anew 3:16
The root of my infection
Persistent at its core
No good deed to eliminate
No profile to mask
Bearing the burden
Of a crushing mass
Upon the shoulders
Of the One who weeps
Fleeing me, driven out
Like a final breath
Upon the dying
Born anew
From a life of inflicted torment
Come and taste
See all that is good
Dwell in His mercy
Fulfillment from His lips
Grace sufficient
For a heart black as night
So content in the squalor of my guilt
Captivated by the hands of my Creator
Come and taste
See all that is good

1. Consecration 1:44
Limitless
The offering of Your grace
Ceaseless
The depth of Your love
Show me how to see
2. The Work And The Word 2:29
Desire for perfection
Apparitions of the mind
Toiling in thought and prayer
To achieve something greater
Reminded through circling words
Of what I can't obtain
That You would choose me
To embed Your word
Into my broken heart
Calling me to live
The character of Your nature
An everyday reminder
Of the kindness You bestow
The calling of repentance
The establishment of grace
No fall too far
No life too lost
3. Crucified By Sin 2:06
The weight of one's sin
The burden we all carry
The choice is given
To acknowledge or deny
To cover the cost ourselves
Or surrender to the Father
But let it be known
That our efforts are hollow
Our pursuits in vain
Unquenched in our endeavors
To redeem our transgressions
Even on my own
Sidetracked, led astray
I'm willing to let go
Of the judgment of others
Show them the way to peace
Help them let go
Of the afflictions that bind them
As You continue restoring me
4. Entombed In Shadows 2:40
Bearing the burden of sin
Seemingly forsaken
A lifeless body
Removed from the cross
On Golgotha's hill
Dark red, three streams flow
From His side
Creating a path in the dust
Visible through nail-pierced hands
Trails of tears streaming down
Hopelessness, disbelief
That their Savior now lies dead
Questions of anger
Grief, shame, regret
Filling the hearts
Of those left behind
What was the purpose
Was this all a lie
Was anything accomplished
Christ's body carried to the tomb
Anointed, burial oils, perfume
Wrapped in linen
The One who changed lives
Now laid to rest
Entombed in shadows
5. Through My Suffering 2:11
Have you ever felt beyond lost
Has the sword truly pierced your mind
Have you ever felt judged, misunderstood
Have your intentions become your burdens
Under the weight of self-expectancy
Have your hands collapsed
Holding up yourself
Have you given in
To the failure of a former beast
Have you aimed to please
Those who reject you
Have you truly wept alone
Do you recognize yourself
Have you watched a loved one
Wither away in silence
Have you hated who you are
Have you ever cursed your Maker
These wounds are deeper
Than what's seen on the surface
Can we learn to love again
Can we love again
6. On Our Behalf 2:23
I have heard it said "nothing is free"
There is a cost to all we obtain
But I have tasted the gift of salvation
Finished on our behalf
To all who will receive
I have felt the weight of my sin
In observation
Of this broken existence
Necessary justice
For a world of hatred
Infecting my mind
No culture to redeem
No trends to satisfy
Temporary pleasures
Useless limitations
The pulling of my being
Into what puzzles the mind
But feel the weight
Of my yearning heart
7. Reconstruction 2:36
The conflict of the mind
Tearing down the walls
Is harder than it seems
My defense set again
Jesus, bring it all down
Not for this world
Not for their judgments
But for the oneness within You
Set my eyes to seek
The wonders of Your hands
Bring rest to my weary mind
Let my deeds become belittled
By the realization of Your sacrifice
May Your hand guide me
Along the way
Cut away, reconstruct
Make my faith anew
Show me the meaning of restoration
Show me the futility of my pride
