We watched them fall. Eyes locked to mine,
Feeling as if I had let them down.
Caught blinded by silk, led by lips
To the baited chains.
Now look around regret.
As the axe swings before your eyes,
Think how everyday we spent dreaming.
Never once did we pick up the sword and learn to fight.
Now is the time. Pick yourself up and fight.
Learn to swing. Learn to swing.
They watched me fall for the last time.
But how is such an elegant blade to be stopped?
When in times where eyes set sites
To cross-hair the weak, my bride,
I'll try, oh so hard, to find that Light.
but in his mind she baits me to fire.
What a cunning foe we've met!
Our horizons pushed pages away to a new fight,
A new method, new plan. But how do I train?
How do you ready a child for war?
Oh what a cunning foe we've met!
The Captain, what will He send?
I know He will send, but what will be sent?
I can feel a slip. A buzzard scrapes nearby...
As I, atop this hill, stand and scream,
It's all I can do to control my gaze
From the curiosity of seeing myself as prey.
And then I heard an armored march.
I heard an armored march that shook the trees.
Bows bent as they sang, "We are the archers!"

The heart of man....

The hearts of men are easily corrupted

and through these eyes you can see the deceiver’s
grip on them all, controlling every thought.

We are lost, with no minds of our own.
This world is where the heart lies.

There is no love in those dead eyes.

Here is the Savior.

Here is the sacrifice.

Here is the Savior.

Here is the sacrifice.

An undeserving love

for an undeserving heart... an undeserving heart.
And from the overflow the mouth is speaking lies

and leading all who hear to their demise.
And from the overflow the mouth is speaking lies

and leading all who hear to their demise.
Fight the darkness. Fight the darkness.

Wake up. Seek the Truth.

Wake up. Seek the Truth....

The hearts of men. The hearts of men.

My time ill spent

So much wasted on the thought of, so much wasted on the thought of you.

So much wasted on this physical attraction

this filth that plagues my sight a deep asphyxiation from flesh and blood.

I have slipped so far away I have fallen to the wayside,

my flesh is the essence of weak but my spirit is made whole by Him.

What we don't realize, what we don't see, is that God has already set us free

He has unlocked the chains, using His blood as the key.

Oh Jezebel!
I will break thy spell,
Oh Jezebel,
you are done.
Oh Jezebel!
I will break thy spell,
Oh Jezebel,
you are done.

You are nothing more than a monster that infects the Earth,

you have taken the lives of many a strong warrior,

I have stood here long and had it up to here,

through much prayer will come my victory.

I stand because you have no power over me.

I stand because you have no power over me.
I rebuke you, I rebuke you
Your hold on me is no longer there.
I rebuke you, I rebuke you
You have driven a wedge between me and my Father.

You say we stand together, but I fall alone
But when we're together I feel like nothing can go wrong
You seem so innocent, with such contagious eyes
But beneath the skin lies a monster inside.
A monster inside

You have lived as a prostitute, with many lovers,
would you now, return to God.
You have lived as a prostitute, with many lovers,
would you now, return to Father.

Repent, beg for forgiveness
Repent, beg for forgiveness.
Repentance is completely turning from your sin, to a life devoted to purity
Because the Father is pleased by your obedience, so always keep your eyes focused on Him.
Heed my warnings, don't ever turn your back on God.

The Earth is the Lord's and everything in it, the world and all who live in it,
for He founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
Everything in this world has meaning, all life designed with a specific cause,
Order flows about in wait for the second coming of the son of God.
All with life believe in your hearts that the Lord our King has risen,
let everything that has breath come Praise his holy name.

And I heard the voice of the Lord,
Calling me to take up arms,
He said the time is at hand this is my Master's plan to not bring peace but a sword.

Brothers and sisters,
we must make war,
for how selfish are we if there is a disease but we don't share the cure.

Do not fret because of evil men,
or be envious of those who do wrong,

For like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

Sing to the Lord your God, Sing to the Lord your God,
Sing to the Lord your God, Sing to the Lord your God,
Sing to the Lord ye saints, Praise His holy name,
Praise His holy name for His anger lasts but a moment,
but His favor lasts a life time,
Weeping, may remain for a night but rejoiceing comes in the morning.

Oh how I love you, Oh how I long for you.

I long for you,
Fall on my knees, take everything,
upon my knees, give life to me,

And He has written us a guidline, the way to everlasting life,
He has come to bring us life, more abundantly,
so let us not take for granted what you've done for us,
the prophecy, you've paid the ultimate cost.

And He shall come riding on donkey's back, and those who followed, and those who went ahead shouted Hosana, and all the world shall proclaim Hosana in the highest.

Ho-San-A
Hosana in the highest,
Hosana, in the highest,
Hosana.
