1. Sanity Obscure
The end of time is drawing near
the angels prepare for the harvest
separation of the wicked and righterous
the corrupt the fire infests
Sifting of humanity
extirpation of the heathen
cast into the infinite holocaust
where time's end is never seen
Signs of the end have come
nation will rise against nation
famines wage war on the land
the birth pains have begun
These omens of sanity are obscured
hidden from insane minds
though seeing they do not see
they hear but understanding can't find
This people's heart has become calloused
their eyes they willfully seal otherwise their eyes might see
and in turn become healed
Blurred visions
sanity obscure
Matthew 13:39;Mark,13;I Corithans 2:7;Romans 16:25;Revelation
2. Wisdom's Call
How long will you simple minds love your simple ways
and continue to reject the calling of wisdom
fools mock at making amends for sin
you fools detest turning from evil
Does not wisdom cry aloud does not understanding raise your voice?
the wise attaining wisdom and discipline listen and add to their learning
Worth more than silver yields more than gold
nothing you desire can compare with her those who find her through Christ find life
all those who hate her love death
Why don't you open up your mind
can't you hear wisdom's cry?
Proverbs,1:2,5,20-22; 3:13,14; 8:1,9,35-36; 13:19; 14:9
3. Nonpoint
Toxic waste corrupts the air
adulteration of man's breath
the sky pours forth rains of acid
waters of life now bring death
Clear cuts expose the land
forest ravaged by greed
corporate lies behind bought
destruction for profit their creed
Surrounded by nonpoint filth
pollution's silent killer
ignoring our earth's decline
out of sight,out of mind
Established upon the deep founded upon the seas
the earth become infected
from the fall came its disease
Pollution corrupts your soul
wake up from your careless sleep
open your eyes to see
what you sow you'll surely reap
Psalm,24:2; Revelation 16:15; Galatians 6:7
4. Idols Of Ignorance
Dreamers enticed to turn away
kneeling to gods born from clay
praying to images carved of stone
bowing though sins are not atoned
Hearing only silence through your cries
seeing nothing with lifeless eyes
worthless are the objects idolized
blinded men fall to their demise
Unholy lovers of themselves money
the lust of which compels
brutal without self control
defying the redeemer of your soul
I am the fist and the last
Yahweh creator of ages past
ruler author of the book of life
fortress saviour of impending strife
"I am the lord
apart from me
there is none
I form the light
of this dark world
bow to me or die"
5. Stop The Madness
Just an ignorant child
brainwashed by this decaying world
always searching to belong
endless fear of being alone
Line by line I watch you die
too blind to see
your shattered dreams
Weary from the boring routine
the dependency grows
taught to listen to the wise
but only heard the fools
Body once unscarred
now being murdered by stupidity
realization of the truth brings freedom in captivity
John 14:6; John 8:32
6. Dies Irae (Day Of Wrath)
Libera me,Domine,de morte aeterna in die illa tremenda
quendo coeli movendi sunt et terra,
dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem
(Deliver me,Lord from eternal death,
on that dreadful day when heavens and earth
shall move,when you come to judge the
world through fire)
Trmens factus sum ego,et timeo dum
discussio venerit at que ventura ira
(I am made to tremble and to fear
at the destruction that shall come
and also at your coming wrath
when heavens and earth shall move)
Dies illa,dies irae,calamitatis et
miseriae,dies magna et amara valde
dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem
(That day,day of wrath,calamity and misery
great and exceedingly bitter day,when you
come to judge the world through fire)
Requiem aeternam dona eis domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
(Rest eternal,grant them,Lord,
and may perpetual light shine on them)
7. Dust To Dust
Beneath the sun,all deeds done,meaningless are they
labor in vain,tormenting pain,incessant toil
chasing the wind,grasping (for) what's been.wearisome longings
ages now gone,time passes on,but the earth remains
A time of birth,a time of death,perishing mortals
men are like grass,which soon doth pass,destined to die
houses of clay,doomed to decay,foundations of earth
men come from dust,and to the dust,in death all return
The Lord did mold,man's flesh and soul,a creation of soil
but just as man,from dust began,in death will face judgement
but Christ was slain,bearing our pain,taking our sentence
the Christ was dead,the blood he shed,absolves the guilty
The hold of the grave,broken away,by the Risen Saviour
prophecy fulfilled,his perfect will,providing eternal life
death is certain,for every man,but belief gains life
he who believes life he'll receive,even though he'll die
From dust you came,
you must return.
Can death you escape?
Ecclesiastes: John 11:25; Hebrews 9:27; Genesis 3:19
8. Like A Song
Like a song I have to sing
I sing it for you!
Like the words I have to bring
I bring them for you.
And in leather,lace or chains
we stake our claim
revolution once again
but I won't
I won't hear it on my sleeve
I can see through this expression
and you know I don't believe.
I'm too old to be told.
exactly who are you?
Tonight,tomorrow's too late
And we love to wear a badge,a uniform
and we love to fly a flag,
but I won't let others live in hell
as we divide against each other
and we fight amongst ourselves
too set in our ways to try to rearrange
too right to be wrong,in this rebel song
let the bells ring out,is there nothing left
is honesty what you want?
A generation without name,ripped and torn
nothing to lose,nothing to gain,nothing at all
and if you can't help yourself
well take a look around you
when others need your time you say it's time to go it's your time
angry words won't stop the fight
two wrongs don't make it right
a new heart is what I need
oh god,make it bleed
is there nothing left?
