Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck
I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold
I have come into the deep waters, the floods engulf me
Fear and trembling have beset me, horror has overwhelmed me

I am worn out calling for help, my throat is parched
My heart is in anguish with me, the terrors of death assail me

Many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me
They sharpen their tongues like swords, and aim their words like deadly arrows
When they draw the bows let their arrows be blunted

O Lord, how many are my foes!
But You are a shield around me, O Lord, You bestow glory on me

I cry aloud, and He answers me
I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me

Wake Up, #37, Wake Up

Not One Is Upright

Genre: Mathcore

You bolt the door
And swallow the key
That's right, say you can't believe
There's no need-when you're freed-will to be
This is art.
Cannot see-can't perceive-cannot be
The coming of the end
Wince:
Strain to see-in this void-we're losing it
Is the art of man

Wrench these words from my jaws, drain, dehydrate

Because these words are fallible imperfect vessels tossing in a sea of thought
I can't tell you the truth but I can tell you where it is.
Dilettante
Settle or panic,
Passion blurs your vision
Midst your stride,
Risk it
You start to fade

Drop anchors. I can show you where it is.

Drop anchors.
Unrefined, my paradigm

Function, form, and fashion:
I know that what I am saying is raw, but witness the turning wheels of this global economy, grinding up man into ever smaller pieces. I see blank eyes and restless drawls responding to the emerging crisis of modern life, ringing emotions out. Don't invent inside what is out. Reason knows perfection as thirst knows water. If you're thirsty, then believe and satisfy your thirst. Drink from this cup. Come on bended knee. Don't let passion brand your battle, it'll only wear you out. Drink at the cross of redemption.

Draw your depiction

Stars become scars in the palm of Your hand bridged by blood

Your blood paints the paragon of unrequited love

Do you remember pain followed by reassurance and the light shining through

Bearing the poise of a Redeemer choking the shadows defeating death

Providence: laid out before us

A father's arms reaching as

The nations will hear a new song

As we're lead to the water

The nations will hear a new song

As we're lead to the water

Give us discernment

Doors that glow at the sound of forerunners' words

We are empty until you sit at the throne of our hearts

Break us free; unshackled from our dire condition

We have hope

Kings of earth bow down lose your crowns

Kings of earth bow down lose your crowns

Bow

The nations will hear a new song

As we're lead to the water

The nations will hear a new song…of rebirth

Hail the Blessed Hour

Genre: Metalcore

Hail the Blessed Hour on: Facebook MySpace

The hearts of men are ravaged
In this age of destruction

This world seeks only to destroy itself

Seek what this Rotting flesh offers only for a time
Mankind is blinded feasting on the broken

And in the darkness the earth cries out
For the tongues of man no longer cry
They no longer sing of the glory of the lamb

Can my voice be heard or will I stand alone
As I sing of the Glory of the lamb that was Slain
The lamb that was Slain

The truth has grown silent

For the tongues of man no longer cry

They no longer sing of the glory of the lamb

The lamb that was Slain

Of the glory of the lamb that was Slain

That was Slain

Will I stand alone
