My message this evenin
Is simple indeed
Wherever you wander
Whatever your breed
Theres just one thing baby
That comes from above
When push comes to shove
Thank God for self love
Thank him, thank him
God for self love
Thank him, thank him
God for self love
When push comes to shove
Thank God for self love
When livin gets heavy
And hope starts to fade
You just cant continue
That old masquerade
Remember the power that comes from above
When push comes to shove
Thank God for self love
Thank him, thank him
God for self love
Thank him, thank him
God for self love
When push comes to shove
Unto you
In the voice of love
Through the song we sing
An offering
I know that pride and summertime come before fall. Almost missed the bus, but Jesus gave me a wake up call.
Go into the world
Showing how much He loves you
Walk in the world
In merciful ways, He loves you
He loves you
Emmanuel on Earth
Yours is the body
The hands and the feet
And Yours are the eyes to look compassionately
To bless you and me
Bless you and me
He will bless you and me
Go into the world
Showing how much He loves you
Walk in the world
Meaningful ways, He loves you
He loves you
Emmanuel on Earth
God with us on Earth
Yours is the body
The hands and the feet
And Yours are the eyes to look compassionately
To bless you and me
Bless you and me
He will bless you and me
To bless you and me
Bless you and me
TO bless you and me
Go into the world
Oh yea, back again. Hope you've enjoyed our little excursions.
Tipping, toeing thru the mind of a muthafucka that need's
a little fuck'n stomping on. Yea, but don't take it wrong,
see we ain't trying to tell you how to think, we're just
trying to get you to think. And we ain't trying to control
nobody, we want the people (individually speaking) to be
in control, to know who they are and what they want to be.
Yea, and question authority, what the fuck but not for sake
of argument, but because you took the time to analyze it
and you found a better fuck'n way, not just a fuck'n excuse
to complain. And beware of people who try to use you as
statistic to back their claims of power, that use you simply
as a vehicle to get themselves where they want to, with no
reference to your best interest except for their disclaimer
that their best interest is your best interest.
Now cursed be thee who would ruin our fair land
And cursed be thee that would seal up the wells
And cursed be thee that abandon the God's hands
And build a strange place for our people to dwell
Now cursed be thy breath
And cursed be thy breathing
And cursed be thy eyes
And cursed be thy sight
And cursed be thy hands
That have slackened the harvest
And closed the old ways to the joy and the light
Now cursed be thy name
All cursed and forgotten
All cursed beyond memory
Place or recall
And cursed be thy soul
Out of nothing begotten
Nothing to no thing
And nothing to all
Now cursed art thee
Who have ruined our fair land
And cursed art thee
That sealed up our wells
And cursed art thee
That abandon the God's hands
And have built a strange place
For 68 long days
I've been walking through the desert of your love
Trying to find a place
Where I will never hunger for your love
I'll get you out of my mind
Out of my body heart & life
You'll never see me
I'll never hurt like that again
I thought I saw you there
Desperate to hold what once was mine
I ran to you begged & pleaded for your love
I reached for you but there was nothing there
I'll get you out of my mind
Out of my body heart & life
You'll never see me
I'll never hurt like that again
You know you know
You know what you did
You know you know
You lied & you stole my heart
I long for the shape of things to be true to their form
Love in a circle, hearts in a line
Molded by sacred design
But I see a diversity of opinion unfold
Discerning masons building a wall
But I need help to stand, not to fall
I'm taking a road that I've never been down
I'm doing the best I can
I really believe I'm where I need to be now
Tell me You understand
Chorus:
I'm following a voice in faithful pursuit
I'm searching my soul to do what I'm called to do
I need Your benediction, where's Your benediction
I'm battling the odds through faces of doubt
And it would mean so much if You could send me out
With Your benediction, I need Your benediction
VAMP
Don't turn and close Your eyes to the vision I see
Don't leave me defenseless in fields of reproach
Now, when I need You the most
I'm taking a road that I've never been down
Tell me that You'll be there
Helping to turn a discouraging word
Into a word of prayer
CHORUS
I need Your, I need Your, I need Your
Benediction
We breathe upon the land to grow
And root into the deep to know…
We dig into the sand to find
the grain of matter made divine
We cheat the death that night will bring
By everyday awakening
There's a disease a wrenching bane
Adverse twisted minds
Grip of fear within the flesh
Is eating you alive
Ruins the lives of innocent
A fitful waking sleep
Sadly the world it shakes it's head
And begins to weep
And now to sleep perchance to dream
But you cannot hear your cries
Memories run like rivers flow
Blackened waters of the mind
Phobias, fear of crypts and caves
Oblivion denied
All you see such a lie to behold
Born through a cradle of time
Stomach wrenching, sweat runs cold
Pointless nightmares of bizarre and sublime
Summon them now, arise your fears
Release the pain or drown
Acidic noise like knell of doom
Darkened passages revealing gloom
Nightfear
Creeping on the skulls of man
Softly at the dawn
Sharpened edge of nightfears blade
Pray you now for rising morn
Divine faith a childish prayer
Drilled into you from birth
Yet nightfear continues on
Returning with a curse
Now the fortitudes in light
But darkened eve draws near
Dawning on a ghoulish thought
The night belongs to fear
I looked within myself and I turned
Many laddered mental maze burnt
Forever is the time that I walked along
Sufferance in silence is my syndrome
Take my path - Never last
In ruthless pain - I'll always reign
Silent sound - Stalking ground
Cemetery run - I bow to none
Dominating pray is my will
A homicidal urgeance to kill
Slash and stab the bitches of witchery
Deafening the screams of their agony
Take my path - Never last
In ruthless pain - I'll always reign
Silent sound - Stalking ground
Cemetery run - I bow to none
In my theatre of madness
Lone player on the stage
Woebegotten my audience
Momentary respite is taken from my rage
Shuddering in ecstasy
At the brutal crimes I've done
Your so blind you perfect fool
I bow to none
Open wounds in arrogant bliss
Skillfully remove
Innards in a vulgar heap
And finally the womb
Touch the flesh, desecrate the skin
Wading in the gore
Like a vulture I feed upon
This sacrificial whore
Their living bodies leave me so vexed
Copulation joyous dead sex
Morbid absorbtion in fantasy
My auspicious orgasm parody
Took my path - Did not last
In ruthless pain - I always reigned
Silent sound - Stalking ground
Cemetery run - I bow to none
Reflected face, dragged from the void without a soul
Illusive dream, poisoned with no control
Consuming time, condemned arise from glassy sleep
A vengeful mind, prowling into dreams it seeps
Now it seeps
Murdered mirror takes revenge upon the narcissic one
A trail of vengeance follows, bleaching bones a bastard son
Gaze upon silver coloured soul, bizarre occurs
Rapid ageing, growing old, alias the blur
Anomalous entity
Drawn into your dream
Solace ingesting age
Is in the way it breeds
Bitterness the crying words
Corroded affair betrayed
Weeping in its futile anguish
Leaving its victims shattered and decayed
Pause for reflection
Screeching, deformed, frozen face
Threatening from the unquiet place
Stalking beauty to feel such pain
A pleasing violence it's so insane
So insane
In reflection the eyes they glare and gleam
Muted howlings from within a victims dream
Ferocious are its embroilled cries
The mirror never lies
Cut, dissected from within
Like clockwork run the cells
An unearthly silent din
A constant toll of bells
Mocking laughter evermore
No sight of a refrain
Waiting on my lonely quest
Asylum of the brain
Brain
The darkest caverns of my mind
Hold terrors so consuming
Look within and soon you'll find
Your psyche I'm subsuming
More than flesh and blood can bear
Ensnared within my brain
Eyes in fear, eyes in terror
Adversity is pain
Adversity is pain
Pain...
Within the faculty of fools
Leering warders, intimidation
Playing games at all my rules
Is feeding their frustration
The blood inside my temples pulsing
While I'm locked away
Thoughts within my head convulsing
For the time my captors pay
Stop the torment, cut me loose
Unbind me from my chains
Before my eyes a veil of mist
Encompassing and grey
Once again
Momentarily free of pain
Pain...
Pain...
Pain...
Stop the pain and rip me open
Tear out my tormentors
Release me from agony
Blinding my nerve centres
Only known emotions
Are the anger and the sadness
Overshadowed totally by
Unrevokable madness
Held inside this sterile box
My thoughts turn now to charnel
Fantasise, yet I remain
Still locked inside eternal
I'll not escape but I will wait
Patience will run true
Visitation you will see
This madness is in you
Roasted visions unherald the call
Pay the piper or face the fall
Unpleasant benevolence
Undesired, it's your defence
Rotting flavoured retribution
Burning hotly in your throat
Perished antiseptic inner domains
Drowning love begins to float
The familiar screams aloud
Mainline my blackened bones
Exaction with a vengeance
History consumes its own
Wicked voice, a whispering flame
Stems from all past foul deeds
Telling me that you're to blame
Ruled by your bitter creeds
An ordered mind, my constitution
Left me on my own
Aggravating your solution
Running blood from stone
Bastard wanton act betrayed me
Left me all alone
Yet I'll survive
Honesty a poor mutation
An uprising complication
Doubtful you will ever change
Senility onset of age
I'm betrayed
Red blood out, the black runs in
Spreading wings and claws
Flooding me in a sickly grin
With sharply smiling jaws
Hate...
Save me all that humane thought
Judge not the moment past
Frozen heart, to the last bone
Pumping on this blood from stone
Wicked voice, a whispering flame
Stems from all past foul deeds
Telling me that you're to blame
Ruled by your bitter creeds
An ordered mind, my constitution
Left me on my own
Aggravating your solution
Running blood from stone
Skin absorption, mystical poison.
Vanished life, bequeathed.
Knock on coffin, shallow burial.
Emerge enslaved, commands obeyed.
Vision in the shroud, effect of curare.
Silence gives consent, killing which you bear.
Face rivers of tears - slave to kill.
Slow grab for soil - uncontrollable will.
Moving the earth - arising from the ground.
Choking unpleasantness - a gurgling sound.
Staggering around, catatonic hellish dance.
Animation fades, into hypnotic trance.
Held back from the gorge, your spirit bound in chains.
Death cannot be reached, (with the) curare in your veins.
Homage to your master, destiny controlled.
Sorrow at your fate, no feelings felt, this story untold.
Contained in blood scrawl, compiled evil artifacts.
Insane instigators of ritualistic pacts.
Necronomicon, bestial methods, age old torrid acts.
If darker side thus beckon, in limbo boundaries must be smashed!
Released from nether regions, bowels of the earth.
Seeping through cracks to foul the air above.
A lifeline to those to which sleep is eternal.
Concocted since the dawn of time.
To now release agonised souls.
Spit forth the dead!
Spit forth the dead!
Carried on the air, purity aiding the filth.
Seeking consecrated ground, sensing cemeteries in a blanket of dust.
Fertalising the infertile from six feet under.
Seeking consecrated ground, sensing cemeteries in a blanket of dust.
Fertalising the infertile from six feet under.
Intoxicating with false life, coaxing from the brink of decay.
Animating the inanimate, from wooden box to light of day.
Exodus from the ground, stale forms tasting air.
Each united in their cause, yet of it's ground.
Ground mates unaware.
Now the dead govern the earth.
All resistance to them crushed.
Life is now minority, the world another hell.
Wipeout!
Skin absorption, mystical poison.
Vanished life, bequeathed.
Knock on coffin, shallow burial.
Emerge enslaved, commands obeyed.
Vision in the shroud, effect of curare.
Silence gives consent, killing which you bear.
Face rivers of tears - slave to kill.

Crawl on our knees through the gutter
From an untimely demise
By remission of all sins
Forsaking old and wise
Violation of domain
An area of conquest
Which only we have one
Don't stagnate within your self
Transcend the Rubicon
Suffering, torment, anguish, pain
At life's shore slowly breaks the waves
Turn of the tides, revenance of rage
Blistering so were the thoughts
When shackled to a wall
Flagrant ways of conformation
Your death sentence appalled
Now plead for a worthless life
Deny us for your guilt
Escape within the stoney tomb
Which you yourself have built
Independence of a drug
To satisfy the need
Orgies filled with travesty
To sow all mocking seeds
Originality the one
Who's screaming at the crime
Sinister the ways of wisdom
Expand or face the fire
Sterile splinter of self doubt
Thorn in your boney hide
Counterfeit within adept
Colossal is the pride
Breeding cynicism
Grandeur crying in your face
Overture derisive laughter
Hateful human race
Incantation of your thoughts
Upon this mortal coil
Open wide the jaws of hate
Serving them so loyal
Reeking contradiction
When you're laughing as you fail
Believing in your innocence
Tells a sorrowed tale
Autumn fall upon a life
This season at an end
Darkened shadows all around
And yet without a friend
Realisation dawns on you
It's time for you to face
Hateful human race
Inner deformity, such a foul deceptive rot.
Conceiving the grotesque. Nothing is but what is not.
Screeds of verbiage, never explained. Gazing at the flames.
Inside the dungeon or my skull, only mawkish thoughts remains.
Grotesque addict, forever shadowed,
darkness clouding me. Absurdity now fate.
Bizzarre dreams, an horrendous nightmare,
nothing left but to hallucinate.
Dementia reigns, a predilection. Total order cease.
Rescrudescent, this condition. Coherency decrease.
Humanity is not to shine, in my bloodless face.
Magnified in travesty, I have been displaced.
See with the eye of the mind. That the lie will speak.
Traumatic cracks in my addiction, made the future bleak.
Paralysed to ruminate, embolismic bitter jest.
Ontologically I'm dead, reborn as the grotesque.
THE GROTESQUE!
Swirling Void, unfathomable Dark,
Inner cranial, Conflict,
Wading in detached Reality
Infinite Illusion
Dark Abstract, Vice-like Grip
Subconscious Terror
Never underestimate the Unseen
Brain producing Fear and Hate
Overpowering Images - the macabre
Side of you.
Physical Untruths,
Fuel for its cruel Tricks
What in Reality is Questioned
Is reversed into the Norm.
Immediate escape!
The vital need
But you've been animated
At half Speed.
Still you run but trip,
Dawn into the bottomless Abyss,
Consciousness will slowly dwindle,
As your Nightmares assume Control.
Float in mental Purgatory
Subconscious Terror
(Dedicated to Julian May, author of "The Many Coloured Land")
(The Saga of the Exiles in the Pliocene epoch)
The rupture of the brain from flesh, children of the black.
Devouring mother, call her blessed, with impetus they lack.
Glorified spineless triumph, sick polluted mind.
Grusome child in void, evolution of humankind.
Operant child in unity. Unseen, unheard this day.
Floating mind is veiled in blood, the body is taken away.
Stripped of appendages, ungiven choice.
Awaiting intervention, mind without a voice.
Mentally amplify, cerebral lustrate.
Life after bodily death, brain without a face.
Black mother feeds the rancourous scorn, sinful propagate.
Metaphysically entity, redact, coerce, farsense, create.
Infinite years, immortality chained. Aeons herein encased.
Artificial, surrogate overt inhuman waste.
Divorced from purile emotion, hidden humanity,
body, a cremated epitaph. Torso innutility.
Utterance of death's blessing. Funeral absent dream.
Muted in a voiceless uproar, deafened to hear her screams.
Banished to an exile life, prisoner of the brain.
Mind enhancer switches in, with unrelenting pain.
Bodiless mentally, The twisted saint began.
Spawned inside a sterile womb, nurturing the mental man.
Sinister are the ways of life.
Tortures made to scar the mind.
This evil is an existance.
Man cannot serve two masters.
Head to the grindstone.
Sharpen your soul.
Pierce the shell - confound the shadow.
Refrain the urge - to cast off the mask.
Earthly subugation - your souless husk remains.
Desecreation brings joy.
Awaken to sufferance.
Blinded by black light.
New pains to rev`el.
Bathe in misery's eye.
Death, the grand leveller.
Summer of hate - winter of pain.
Bathe yourself in a burning rain.
Mental alienation, I slowly slip away.
Retrogression of the mind, delerious decay.
Unhinged from reality, isolated world.
Unhinged from my past life, mentally disturbed.
Cell deterioration, abandoned memory.
Dilation of the brain, a living lunacy.
Can you smell the madness?
I have the right to die.
It's in my age syndrome.
Now life's precious dream.
Is just rheumatic bone.
Euthanasia
Euthanasia
In my parent's eyes, I'm a child of sin.
Black sheep of the family, blessed be insanity.
Down with the lambs, up with the lark.
Run to bed my children now, before it gets dark.
Family life, forbidden to find.
Searching her love, within the black depths of a septic mind.
Barred from my mother's love, please let me in.
I was born unto a child of sin.
A child of sin - her love becomes my lust.
Raped my own kin - mother ashes to dust.
Bearing no marks of evil, blamed for my acts of mercy.
Come lay you down upon the bed, my imagination of your severed head.
The dead loved parents, and the deviant son.
Family life now that we are one.
Is this the confused mind of a boy?
Or does a oreature lurk within?
Am I possessed by eternal entities?
Or are my urges born of my own fears?
Mother mutilation!
Witness malign grin, born unto a vicious child of sin.
Fired anticipation, burns within me.
Revealed in illness, at infancy.
Whispering Jack, born in a fever.
Twice as sharp as a butcher's cleaver.
Aesthetic blade, let death be quick.
Gaslit street, a butchers trick.
Whispering Jack, born in a fever.
Twice as sharp as a butcher's cleaver.
Your mind is bled, hunger's been fed.
Every woman's body par', to some it's meat, to me it's art.
I've taken my need, left her my seed.
Autumn of terror, white chapel homicides.
Addiction for suffering, for all the whores that died.
("...I send you half the kidney I took...the other I preserved...I may send the bloody knife that took it out, if only you wait a while longer"*)
Reveling at Lustmord, the second part of me.
Foreplay with a scalpel blade, my sexual activity.
Whispering Jack, born in a fever.
Twice as sharp as a butcher's cleaver.
Aesthetic blade, let death be quick.
Gaslit street, a butchers trick.
("*" taken from letters sent by Jack the Ripper)
(4:41)
Our unity of war and art
Lost the human creed
Here you're no more than a shade
Of blood that never bleeds
The silence breaks, the die is cast
Ignore our final pleas
Engage insanity
World falls to it's knees
Sound the knell of jealousy
Unheard dying's scron
Genocide prodigiously
Where flies are born
Warhorse died on this impure realm
Defiant in it's death
Smelled the fragrant bitter blood
And draws it's final breath
Begin the crimson dust decay
Commence the fall of light
Atavistic human trait
Born of chaotic night
Blood pain (x2)
Tranquill peace attained by strife
Now all is lost
Season of the ice arrives
The killing frost
Blood pain (x2)
(2:13)
Gross abominations
Dreams that haunt your sleep
Dying to awaken
Unheard cries you weep
Inner vision drowning
Shredding terrors nears
Clogging lungs you're choking on
Hallucinogenic fears
Chorus :
Incubus, disturbing nightmare
Locked inside your head
Assassinating rational thought
The dreams you dread
Oppose the phobid landscape or you'll
Suffer anxiety
Self witch - hunting pretrifies
Aghast reality
Chorus
Your own agression
Generates the dreams you dread
Chorus
(4:13)
In oceans of light
Haunts the bleak river
Mindless spectre
Summons malice without thought
Chorus :
Insane paradox of dreams gone awry
Stalked and thrown onto funeral pyres
Yeah,
The wrathful one
A screaming sea, fould shore
Chorus
Sound without substance
Whispers softly and low
The waters speak and roar
Echoes in the skull
Each drop a human soul
Born from tragedy
Drowning victims amplify
It's desire to conceive
Chorus
Seek the lake of voices
Fluid chorus of loss
Destroyed in order
Created in chaos
Smothered !
Identity cast to the flow
Slave !
To water's illusion
Your body dissolves
Fettered !
Existance to the whole
Never break !
The walls between the realms
Flesh wound never bleed
But yearn for the depths
Agony, there's no peace
Even in death
Dark wisdom brings power
An illusion deceived
Union of fellow souls
I wept as it entered me
Insane paradox of dreams gone awry
Stalked and thrown onto funeral pyres
(4:12)
Obscure opression, from within
Controlled behavious
Mass suppression in complex systems
Dictate before the birth
Chorus :
Underlying confusion
Life breaks free
A mournful expansion
Saneless Theory
Those detractors unnatural order
Erratic recursion of thought
Irrational change, the aspect of life
Chaotic order sought
Chorus
Regularity / Random
Fractal complexity
Witness sterile fluctuation
Saneless Theory
Ruling powers assimilate
Overshadow, subjugate
No predictions an unfound dream
Egress reality
Yet deviations are amplified
Into chaotic theme
Enter Chaos !
Their passionate numbness
Ascetic credibly
Hidden in the emerging field of
Saneless Theory.
(3:32)
No gods or masters, where destiny lies
Underworld of Elysium exempt on my demise
Father leaders leech to your mind
In growling hunger repent
Obituary, engraved tombstone
Fiercely branded on the soul
Chorus :
Truth stands as one
Monolith stands alone
Roots in the path of the serpent
Lies a worthless throne
Gross theology twisted inside
Enthroning dark here instead
Stream of consciousness flowing out
Beget all faiths my crying doubt
Chorus
Inside intriges me for your vision's veiled
Monolith cracks, light has flown... ha !
Your faith will fail !
Broken faiths - fade away
Twisted war - feeding on it's twisted hate
Reach the end of the labyrinth
Where the nightmare's sin
Start from this waking dream
Screaming in the wind
Never find eternity
Denied divinity...
The Path of the Serpent !
Never violate paradise
Or walk the darkened trail
Idolatry your misjudgement
Never ending tale
A never ending tale.
SO BE IT !!!
(3:41)
Benign, the human form
Malignancy disease
Metastasis major cause
Migration of the beast
Tumour
Invasion
Into the strem
Disturbed balance of life
Trigger wound response
And await to die
Outright attack
Prognosis made
And the growth will spread
As cells break away
Blistering assault on pure
Gnawing into cells
Slow disease, yet so demure
Struggling you ail
Insidious disease
Evicts me from my life
Disfiguring, absurd
The inner parasite
Soul destroying, my skin crawls
Unseen, my body fights a war
Dig deep the healthy flesh
My miserable remnant
Ruined by this ruthless waste
Paying my penance
Reproduce so disorderly
Through bloodstream malignance flows
Detected early, a surgical cure
Perchance a growth in the bones
Blistering assault on pure
Gnawing into cells
Slow demise, and so demure
Listen, funeral bells
(4:59)
Writhing in pain
Your third eye blinks, untamed
We were one to live
Now there's but grief you give
Griefgiver
Dread the hurt
Crush me in the dirt
Panic, extol
Angers my mind and soul
Evolve, inherent living hate
We divide as you subjugate
Disreguard, pre-empt the deed
To avenge I'll not concede
Griefgiver
Evolve, inherent living hate
We divide as you subjugate
You proclaim grief to me
My existance, your disease
Evolve, inherent living hate
To amend is far too late
Enraged inside your grip
Now alone, your power trip
Griefgiver
(5:23)

(5:29)
You guard your mind, your thoughts must not devour
Your soul at crux will cower
And the image is mine
Taunting you, unleash eternal time
Am I what you see ?
Rising doubts will forever be set free
Torment, I return
From thoughts you've had and are now left to burn
The degree of heat
Denial of lies, the words are incomplete
Yet what is said is true
All you fear cannot be miscontrued
Bizarre made flesh - The heart arrest
What you fear most - Will haunt the host
I'm whole, I become as one
Evil thoughts extinguishing the sun
And in the void I thrive
Fear / strength, it procreates the hive
And the tears burn
Forced desires you are soon to learn
Bizarre made flesh - The heart arrest
What you fear most - Will haunt the host
Guard your minds, your thoughts have all devoured
Your soul at crux it cowered
And the image was mine
Taunted you, unseashed eternal time
I am what you see
Rising doubts, forever you're set free
(2:30)
Release me
Erupting
Break out from the Bleakhouse
Fractured mind
Four in one, my storm
Escape my fantasies
Hollow hear of my disease
Angered psychopath unbound
Control my mind's common ground
I'm avenging a hurt
Damn the worms within my brain
Causing me to suffer pain
Mental imagery imposed
My psyche's falling... down
I'm avenging a hurt
Pulsing along channels
Alive with phantom humming
Sweting like a rapist
I cannot avoid becoming
Too much reality in my make believe mind
I am dead, but the four live... on
See blood everywhere
Can't control our vision
Forever we're the Ghoul
Eternal mental prison
(4:38)
Such a gruesome bleeding heart
Stabbing against the thrust
Those vicous memories
Of broken trust
The bitter food of hatred
I will force feed
You'll suffer my indifferrence
Answer to me
My faith in you destroyed
By hypocrisy
It retards your thinking
Answer to me
Retard your thinking
Answer to me
Broken chains of honesty
Fallen without grace
I return the favour
On your second face
I am not the reason
Deceit reigned within
Since you cast the first stone
Are you without sin ?
Scutinize - NO !
Retard your thinking
Carrion ways, no power to judge
Brimmed with aggressive scorn
Damn your name, forever wish
You were never born
Tragedy - Your obsession
Retard your thinking -
My oppression
Sympathize - NO !
Retard your thinking
The final remnants erased
Your identity
Retard your thinking
Answer to me

Float in mental Purgatory
Subconscious Terror
(Music: Benediction, Harris Lyrics: Barney)
Yes! - Reach out to the Mirror,
Observe the Unison of Flesh and
Glass sucking you in,
Embrased by the Dream Spiral,
You Float on an Air of foul Intent.
Battle with Beast Forms
Of your Anxieties, your Inhibitions
Confront the Fear Scape,
Venture into subsconscious
Terror...
(Music: Benediction Lyrics: Barney)
Offended by uncathed Exterior,
Unblemished Form provokes Mysteria.
Self Disqust will overpover,
Overriding Pain Acceptance,
Preservation of your cursed Hide,
Submits to Multilation.
Chorus:
Revel in your Attempts,
To create the ultimate Pain,
Death would Undermine,
Your frenzied Theatres,
No Wish for Final curtain
On Grizzled Finale
Pallor of your healthy Flesh,
Gives the undesired Effect,
You'd rather have it raw and crusted,
Reach for the sulphuric Acid.
Writhe in Burning Agony!
Powerless to reject.
Scarred Contentedness,
To ensure Pleasure lingers,
Amputate your Fingers.
Chorus Repeat
As Awarness plumments
Into cloudy Nothingness
Enact the closing Scene
Gargling Nitro-Glycerine.
(Music: Benediction Lyrics: Barney)
Contained in Blood Scrawl,
Compiled evil Artefacts,
Insane Instigators of ritualistic
Pacts.
Necronomicon
Bestial Methods, age old torrid Acts,
If darker side thus beckon,
In limbo Buondaries, must be smashed!
Delving demonic Entrance,
Connecting Incartations,
(You're the) Doorway for unbeings Past.
Chorus:
Induce, Recite,
Summer Reprise
Bid welcome to condarian' Guise
Possession escalate,
Your confused Eyes revert
Senses nulled, Inert
Chorus Repeat
Your Soul now quoshed,
With blinded Eyes
You grasp impaired Enlightennent
Demonicus Mortal
An odd unreality
Macabre life at home
Dominating Father figure
Sadist to the bone
Ape-like looks the doting parent
Prone to fits of rage
Sadist and a Mother's boy
Deflowers come of age
CHORUS:
They're missing
Underground they dwell
Mundane life with inner secret
He is West of Hell
Satisfaction comes through power
Fuse them in their guilt
Chemistry ignites the powder
Homely graveyard he had built
Saw-edge blade that cuts and slices
Pack them in the floor
All his evils have been done
There's none now to explore
(CHORUS)
Fantasy fuelled killing spree
Porno's psychopath
Resenting Mother for her sins
His twisted childhood trap
Overcome was all to
much
In the prison cell
We look back within disgust
The creature West of Hell
Killing became such a trick
The only way to get a kick
Violent his appetite
Scrape of earth throughout the night
(CHORUS)
They're missing
Insane life he led
Our gratitude in suicide
You are better dead
Dedicated to: Macabre
(Dedicated to: Ed & Impaler, Bill & Exit-13, Dan & Brutal Truth)
Harvest growth to captivate
Liberate your mind
Seek the truth, co-operate
Removal of the grind
Supposition, theorise
Germinate and seed
Draw into aseity
Roaring "We, the freed"
Corpulent authority
Extirpate with law
Given enough rope to hang them
Rutting with their whores
Intersocial involition
Hypocrisy to breed
Power-hungry carry on
Muting we...the...freed
The Hallucination Contradicts
This Hidden Conspiracy
Trance-like Heresy Commence.....
.....start drawing towards the free
Exercise the will - We, the freed
Exercise the will - We, the freed
Exercise the will - We, the freed
Exercise the will............
If their heresy is such an illegal offence
Then we'll all be getting stoned in the biblical sense
The process of weeding out has begun
Yet drawing it in is much more fun
Stoned-head at six feet deep
If a joint is not a joint, it's a piece of meat
Or a hinge that could open your mind to see
What we desire, released, be free
We, the freed - Duplicity in mortal world
Decadence to rage - Jocular our moral standarts
Return to stone age - Manifest my definition?
Interpretation keyed? - Sequential our persecution
Sanction we, the freed
(Anti-Nowhere League cover)
Off the beaten track here lies this Earth
Forgotten in the battle between death & birth
Other self ignite, ignore the fremesence
Look towards the inner sun and dread suspence
CHORUS:
DIstortion - Control
Our Shadow World
(Repeat)
At the darkest hour
They gain control
Marring our judgement
Slaving our souls
(CHORUS)
No more conquest, no regret
Man's inhumanity - our inner destiny
Bring forth our filth and evolves
Eaten away as we decay - our world is dark
Suffering the wrath of aeons
Harmony cries - Take control! Take control!
But slowly our vision dies - shadow hood the foe
Debased to Anarchy, open up the pit
Spilling a deluge of black
Swallowing the light, crushing all heart
Shadows arise and attack
Violent descendance, regress unto war
Drowning in a stenchland of the shadow law
Succumb to death so slowly find no end to see
Shadow World evolving for eternity
(CHORUS)
No more conquest, no regrets
Fear is the mind killer, fear will infest
Gratify the nihilist, begin brain arrest
Nervebomb - emaciated nervous tract
Nervebomb - to this torture I react
Panic inside cracking skull
Abrasive aggravate
Forcing through the mental path
Mind exacerbate
Multiplying psychosis
Terrifying rate
Nervebomb - emaciated nervous tract
Nervebomb - to this torture I react
Alienation - Neuropathy
Terminal chaos killing apathy
Neurons converge all as one
Detonation of nervebomb
Fit to burst the pressure mounts
Culmination brain
Overloading neural points
Crucifying pain
Nervebomb - emaciated nervous tract
Nervebomb - to this torture I react
Alienation - Neuropathy
Terminal chaos killing apathy
Neurons converge all as one
Detonation of nervebomb
Neurons conveying impulses
Sensory operate
A morbid thirst they rupture forth
Violence separates
Extreme emotion, suicide
Counting down the ticking time
Repent my florid state
My mental high
Nerve distortion, a massive scale
Mental holocaust
Explosive thoughtless terrorist
Insanity enforced
Storm that raged the human soul
Won over flesh and bone
Trapped forever, caged within
Mental post-war fall-out zone
Nervebomb.
Follow the bleeder, undamned you decry
Consummate spirits ne'er follow the lie
Open your heart towards that your mind feels
Death is to conquer all that is surreal
Fortune's enlightenment, hopeful rays of light
Dramatic abundance, shattering the night
Grow biting conflict, halted to an end
The future is certain, the hope we defend
MAGNIFICAT
Up holding the righteous, onward march begun
Deftly remoulding a darkened vision
Strength within unity, mind linking mind
Enveloping beauty, the next humankind
The filth that we all have to climb through
The filth we have to take
Suffering it evermore
Irenicon the wake
"My soul doth magnify......
......my spirit has rejoiced
......remembrance of......mercy...
to his seed forever......"
Yet they lead us to the slaughter
Like they lead a horse to water
They can't force us to drink
But we do
MAGNIFICAT.....Throned
Persevere
So teach us to number our days that we may
Push hearts towards wisdom and fade out the grey
Interventions looming on our dawning world
Hope springs eternal, a hope now unfurled
Persevere.
For Julian.
I am the wind that tears your sails
The broken cross rejecting nails
I am the holy crucified
Yet sinful are my lusts and pride - I
I am ashes I am dust
I'm always held within disgust
Don't follow me for I mislead
Yet all these words you never heed - I
I'm the junkie with a gun
Pushing people's opium
Floating round the universe
I'm driving in my cosmic hearse
I'm intrusion I defy
I am immortal, never die
I am to take you hell and back
The one to break you on the rack
Suffer torment anguish pain
I'll violate all your domains
I am lies and I am truth
I am the portent, I am youth - I
I am the future and the past
Except the now which cannot last
I am Death Church, I am peace
Yet never granting sweet release
My betrayal burns your pain
For I beget you, you become me
You are, betrayed
Yet you still want to play the game
You're victim, you'll expire
Feeding life and all desire
Your life, your pain
Searching for your eternal gain
Flesh is weak, but still it calls
You who makes your own flesh crawl
Covet, your soul
You will never have your own
Thoughts betray and falsify
Grind Bastard - return of the weapon of war
Discharge my stigma
Now I'm back to even the score
Bastard - was condemned through dignity
Mark my soul eternal
Abasing physically
Reduce your will coz I am the Grind Bastard
Fight the world with the strength within
Arise - I am the bastard, I shall win
Debased - revenge on those two faced
Derise - censure guilty I decry.....Opress
Consume - eat your words and siffer
Degrade - humiliate no other
Erode away your futile will
Harass you with exaction
Memorise my calling
I am the bastard, I am the bastard
Though the mills of god grind on....
....they grind so small
A lesson never learned
The bastards never fall
Grind bastard - Rage away 'til teh battle is won
Vex you in your torment
No remorse, grinding on
Bastard - Understand now your life is mine
Dispensing my anger
Flesh is meat, blood is wine
In pain - A world to bthe in sorrow
Grimace - At the Inquisition's horror.....Confess
Intrude - Break the train of your thought
Enrage - Butchered now lie war torn
My principles are to die for
Your end arriving faster
Demonize
I am the bastard, I am the end
Never find distraction
Grinding on reaction
Pain in vain - to retain
The bittersweet one
Rage away in torment
The old ways lie dormant
Your life's mind - Yet sublime
This terror brought from.....Bastard
My needful lust is to direct your fate
Spiteful anger to reciprocate
Obsolete and yet I'm breathing still
Longevity my burden - Immortal kill
Gratitude in my revenge
Accept the fact
Your suffering is all
My vengeance never lacked
What my vengeance never lacked
Share my pleasure - feel my pain
Rational thoughts of a man insane
Septic ways to get me high
Jacking up to watch you die
I'm jacking up to watch you die
I see your torment and anxiety
Recognition of my dignity
There's no survivors
There's no regrets
Nothing more for you to beg...
...except a painless death
Betrayers fear my name
Bastard prophecy
Immortal, I am bound
My eternity
(Twisted Sister cover)
I lie screaming
Remembrance of the past
Emotions betray me below
Adversity - My martyrdom
Rancid breakdown bethothed
CHORUS:
Memories of passion overwhelming me
Corrupted love is displaced
The insect onset, death does not liberate
Deadfall, her final embrace
Forced to watch her decompose
Putrefy, it fills my nose
Tears in anguish I grieve
Smell the scent upon her shoulder
Festering, begins to moulder
Maggots are conceived
My delusions now torment me
Agonising the misery
At this point of death we do not part
Visualise my partner's corpse
I have but love and no remorse
In the final death-throes of my heart
Look her in the eye
Repulsive way to thrive
Death's spawn I feed
Choking on the fumes
In this heat infested room
My heart it bleeds
Lying trapped, my mind is free
Hallucination, fantasies
Relieve the life from when we met
Now I'm in her death's restrain
Horrific visions through my brain
Her rigor mortis starts to set
(CHORUS)
With her corruption I'm paralysed
Optic fluids pour from the eyes
Foul stench of decay makes me retch
Sweetly smiling from her jaws
Death opens wide it's sharpened claws
This death's erotic, how I letch
I thank god I'm an atheist
Prolong my anguish - subtract bliss
And as she rots
This nightmare never stops
I long for peace
In the end
Death is my lonely friend
I crave release
I lie screaming
Smothering in love
Now at the Reaper's call
A life that's seen
Adoration
Trapped in her deadfall
(CHORUS)
A stark contrast to bleakly view
Monochromic ways
Fecund creeping ulcerate
Cancer feeds on me
Begin my solstice, forth of twelve
Terminal complaint
Footprints in the sands of time
Now slowly blown away
Divine message time has come
Lesser men are crushed
To die an ordered death I'll not
In god I have no trust
Pure of mind the body rots
Internal self decay
Carcinoma Angel smiles
A vision that which slays
No new worlds to conquer - now I am enslaved
My inner conflict - to break from these chains
Break the chains - Break the chains
Spread your wings and fly.........
In a thousand shapes and guises
Carcinoma Angels all
Through a self-induced remission
Carcinoma Angels fall
In sanatorium hear me shout
Agonising road to ruin
Fright filled roots of soul
Iconoclasmic nightmare watching
Grief now uncontrolled
Uncertain loss, my pain - frustration
Now to reign regret
Wreaking havoc, near undoing
The trauma that dejects
CHORUS:
Desolated mindful obstruct
Shattered scream to loudly erupt
Pierce the night, a resoundning crash
Lying dormant, bleeding and gashed
Agonised
Innocence removed fleetingly
Childhood replayed
Remembering the best of times
Still remain dismayed
Near loss of one who's so close
Loving relative
Wishing I could turn the clock back
Lose my will to live
(CHORUS)
Driven to distraction grossly
Morbid mind, it roars
Taken from this mortal coil?
Is the Reaper at the door?
Linear thinking - positive
Yet defeat never stops
Overriding all the senses
Heart begins to drop
(CHORUS)
Agonised
Fear the worst, irrational
Wounds are unsevere
Recovery is imminent
Temped fate now cleared
Relief bringing but emotion
Tears begin to flow
A life was spared from grisly ending
A life still yet to grow
(CHORUS)
Agonised
(Lyrics unavailable)
Cloying blackness, within the womb, unwanted child's fleshly tomb.
Umbilicus, a weaved choke, hung in time, frail neck is broke.
Aborted form's placenta shroud, writhe in untold fear.
Suffer not this child to live, awash in bitter tears.
Eternally they're cast in a sea of feculence.
Sound the flatline knell, bloodied noose, a cold embrace.
Salted out of life's chance, lost souls disarrayed.
What never was, can never be, grotesques we betrayed.
Mortal remains. Now just burning embers.
It cuts both ways, for all those dismembered.
Carbonized by fire, burning flames of hate.
Guilty in a blinkered court, destruction, child's play.
Beaten derewcts on the brink of death, there's no requiem.
Nothingness is what remains, no chance to live again.
Clawed fingers forcing iron bars, visions of tortured misery.
Semi-human tears of frustrated rage, hunched up in this fuckin' cage.
My emotions are artificially induced. Though no further need to feel.
Now I've fabricated steel limbs, electro-pulses throb within.
Man made monster, morbid science.
Deaf to my feeble protests, I've served my purpose.
In my veins life fluid used to flow. Now drained and replaced.
With sedative substances, to restrain instinctive rage.
Man made monster, morbid science.
Deaf to my feeble protests, I've served my purpose.
It had to be done!
Conspiring web, killing me, the end.
Let me haunt you, a chilling tale.
Street cracks feed. Spilt blood bleeds.
Perhaps we'll meet someday, when I get blown away.
Bringing forth the light, evil at twilight.
Bloody family.
Darkened death.
An absolute, depravity
If a weak linkage found, eliminate.
Hear the cities fearful roar.
"Hello from the gutters of the city, filled with vomit, stale wine, urine and blood. Greetings from the roaches that feed upon the blood of all my victims. I appreciate your interest in me, but now now I asked...What of your children?" (*)
Out to silence me.
Bloodied family.
Now I sleep.
The city weeps.
(*taken from letters sent by David Berkowitz, The Son Of Sam)
Joyride!
In my dreams the world is - dark.
For the longest time just - black.
No light until the end - fall.
Witness what is hidden.
"There are opportunities with in life...for gaining knowledge...and experience"
A grizzly find.
Playing on the mind.
Let's confusion thrive.
Warning her to stay alive.
Love letter of lead.
Directly from my heart.
Will send you straight to hell.
Deeper and deeper, look beneath.
Find the secrets that lie.
Raped in velvet, oh so blue.
Time has come, unmystify.
These outrageous events.
Break through the peaceful silence.
Into a fragile community.
Enters madness, insanity.
A season of darkness.
No faith in the calm.
Nothing but the storm.
Now it is dark.
Don't you look at me.
You have my disease.
Inhale the ecstacy.
My corruption, it worsens. The worms dig deeper.
Pit of mental anguish. This casket locking me within.
In my own stench of darkness. Conscious returns.
I hear their movement. Enter the graveworm.
CRAWL!
Feel every mastication, piercing the rib cage, the undead man.
A judgment unjust?
Consume my vital last look.
Of existence I've known, now be eaten undead.
Trapped, unmoving in black. Terror rips through my brain.
Seeking rot for sustenance. Fall upon my face, a living squirming =
rain.
Cacophony of consumption a thousand hungered mouths gorge =
themselves.
On decomposite skin, no screaming out, I'm devoured within.
GRAVEWORM!
Eat of flesh, a graveful fear.
Picked clean to the bone, tortured tomb...... I lie alone.
(No lyrics)
Your life means nothing.
Parting isn't such sweet sorrow.
Dripping with hate.
Words from the inner soul.
Realization of my ways.
Evidently unapparant.
Ignominous behaviour.
Physically repulsed by you.
Tormentation of emotion.
Occupy my every thought.
Freezing you, my infliction.
So cold that you will burn.
Excruciating pain you learn.
Mutual hate - on this vastitude of fate.
Only one stands to win.
Let the murdering begin.
Now you suffer.
Amongst all ye children now.
Cowards die often.
I will not let things lie.
Demise architecht.
This grudge will infect.
Attain the supreme divisions of faith.
Universal forms, your destiny is safe.
Control of your senses, from freedom to delusion.
Spiritual realization, convinced of your lord's opulence.
Engage yourselves in devotion, dwell in your masters kingdom.
"You are supreme master of birth, death and fear"
Your embodied souls, battles with material world.
Spiritual planets for you await, eternal but a blissful grave.
Crawl on our knees through the gutter
From an untimely demise
By remission of all sins
Forsaking old and wise
Violation of domain
An area of conquest
Which only we have one
Don't stagnate within your self
Transcend the Rubicon
Suffering, torment, anguish, pain
At life's shore slowly breaks the waves
Turn of the tides, revenance of rage
Blistering so were the thoughts
When shackled to a wall
Flagrant ways of conformation
Your death sentence appalled
Now plead for a worthless life
Deny us for your guilt
Escape within the stoney tomb
Which you yourself have built
Independence of a drug
To satisfy the need
Orgies filled with travesty
To sow all mocking seeds
Originality the one
Who's screaming at the crime
Sinister the ways of wisdom
Expand or face the fire
Sterile splinter of self doubt
Thorn in your boney hide
Counterfeit within adept
Colossal is the pride
Breeding cynicism
Grandeur crying in your face
Overture derisive laughter
Hateful human race
Incantation of your thoughts
Upon this mortal coil
Open wide the jaws of hate
Serving them so loyal
Reeking contradiction
When you're laughing as you fail
Believing in your innocence
Tells a sorrowed tale
Autumn fall upon a life
This season at an end
Darkened shadows all around
And yet without a friend
Realisation dawns on you
It's time for you to face
Hateful human race
Normalicy in threat evermore
Taken apart within the mental core
By ones who walk the wounded land
Uncanny destiny so damned
Mortal eccentricity
Overrule the weird in alacrity
Contradiction tragedy pays
Immortal, shallow, fearless and empty ways
Following a hollow Grail
Men from nowhere shall prevail
Now oblivion waits
Horrendous earth raped eternal
Men from nowhere
Look through their minds eye
What do you see?
A rigid life, indefinitely
Innumerable victims
Cry in vain
Disintegrate in residual pain
Perished shrouded terror
Targets uncertainty
Hunt carries on
Gains predictability
Touched by the dead
A pre-determined soul
Final abnormality
Sounding on in a lifeless death toll
Tine's a way for them to waste
Our existence bloom
Strive for sanity
Amentia's doom
Normality obscured within
Hideous errors rapidly erased
New open wound has embowelled
Remains enraged
No stranger men have walked the earth
In such a lucid form
Victimise abnomalies
And defecating norm
Afraid to die a second time
So living in fear
Enforcing strange supremacy
Until their vision's clear
Men from nowhere
Thoughts through the window
Of my mind's eye
Bring another slice of terror
Yet away with my fears
I cross this pitiful world's end
Drawn to the mortification
With the creeping of my flesh
Arising lair of wounds
Inside sentient apostle
Pleasured in wreaking gore
A stenchland graveyard haunt
Amplify my horrors more
Cutting me, the fleshless surgeon
Drowning in his pain
Executed blindfold shroud
Senses all that die again
Nightmare at every turn
Delirious the spirits burn
Consuming mind and thought torn raw
Deafened by abysmal roar
Little sister's razor blades
Tear holes across your faith
Deafening hymn unholy ghost
Supplication to their whetstone host
Contradicting avatars stain the embryo unborn
Dripping walls, awash in fear
I'm dragged along the gallows field
Cancer tree is calling me
A place of bloated corpses
I'm in pain
Abducted in a maelstrom
No calm before the rage
Floating in a sea of filth
An undetermined age
Carrion for the skinless ones
Who trod the paths before
Bathing wounds in leprous tears
While screaming nevermore
The silence consuming
Wonders without end
From the museum of sleep
Unliving eyes see death's subtle jest
In my sorrow they mourn the past
Yet celebrate their eternal rest
Relieving the worlds pain
In a church of misery
Dampening the lantern flame
Upon your bended knee
Painted skulls
Painted skulls
Warm and close the air runs hard
Around the loyal gravesite
Wailing moon in a putrid sky
Hungry and eager tonight
Our cries pierce their world
An invocation to mourn
Celebration, fete for fate
Of unearthly dead souls reborn
Like a slime trail of a slug
Transgress to the husk
Unburied souls in restful bliss
Bursting forth from crust
Stale the stench of arising souls
In ritual macabre
Drag you down infuse your mind
By blade or poisoned barb
Painted skulls
Painted skulls
The festival end now they sleep
Shrouds of pain another year
Return to their boneyard
We surviving ones await in fear
Mourning unsurpassed
To the bitter end
Broken dreams and broken lies
Painted skulls, the children cry
So you don't get to be a saint
Martyrs never last this long
Guess I'll never be the one
To defeat desire in song
Here's a marker
Here's my naked skin
Our 'exhibit A'
Put a small x where I lost my way
All the actors broke their legs
And it's to late to postpone
The producer's getting high
And the audience went home
Smile and take your awkward bow
Turn and stumble off the stage
Let the rain be your applause
Every encore sooth your rage
Squint with one eye
Hum a show-tune
wait for your right to say
oh that's where you must have lost your way
Megaphones in helicopters squeal âhey are you okay?â
Searchlights circle, where we lost our way
All our accidents were purposeful and felt
Stripped of providence or any way to tell
But our intentions were intangible and sweet
Sick with simple math and shy discoveries
So you don€™t get to be a saint
Martyrs never last this long
Guess I'll never be the one
To defeat desire in song
Here's a marker
Here's my naked skin
Our 'exhibit A'
Put a small x where I lost my way
All the actors broke their legs
And it€™s to late to postpone
The producer€™s getting high
And the audience went home
Smile and take your awkward bow
Turn and stumble off the stage
Let the rain be your applause
Every encore sooth your rage
Squint with one eye
Hum a show-tune
wait for your right to say
oh that€™s where you must have lost your way
Megaphones in helicopters squeal €œhey are you okay?€?
Searchlights circle, where we lost our way
All our accidents were purposeful and felt
Stripped of providence or any way to tell
But our intentions were intangible and sweet
Sick with simple math and shy discoveries
Piled up against our impending defeat.
Genuflect, show respect, don?t forget it?s a papal command
Take your seat, all you need is your rosary beads in your hand
Time to start, cross your heart, be a part of the mystical band
Look at everybody trying to find their own place
Looking for a heaven up high
Working just to get into a state of grace
We know we?re gonna need it when we die
Say your prayers, feel your fears, shed your tears
You?re afraid of hell?s fire, as you sit there and pray
You?ll get carried away by the choir
And the incense is sweet, takes you right off your feet
Makes you higher
Look at everybody trying to find their own place
Looking for a heaven up high
Working just to get into a state of grace
We know we?re gonna need it when we die
Look at everybody trying to find their own place
Looking for a heaven up high
Working just to get into a state of grace
No one is good there is not even one
The front pages of papers of children raped by rapist
Iraqi torture chambers and we the blame claim we're blameless
Wrong all
And swelling up inside of us there's this pride in us this arrogance
And our only line of defense is the sense that
Im not as half as bad as this friend of mine so I must be fine
We mean well don't we
Yet I've never seen good intentions set a man free from
Hurt all
This poor unfortunate soul
Filling a single void with toy after toy with girl after boy
How boring this wasn't this meant to be Humanity's life story
Warring with God saying what have you done for me
Bought all
Hanging out for six hours marred beyond recognition
In complete submission to his father will still
A proclamation was made louder than the loudest temptation
With more beauty than all his creation
More eternal than eternity more angelic than the heavenlies
It Is done for you and bought with blood
Accept
Rejoice
They say bad news travels quickly
By now you've probably heard
There's a red moon a'rising
Just like it says in the Word
This is a sign of the End-times
But, child of God, do not fear
There is hope for tomorrow
'Cause Jesus soon will be here.
May the peace of God, which passes all understanding, go with you.
There is great power that makes all things new,
The blood of the eternal covenant through which God raised the Lord Christ Jesus from death.
Therefore, give honor, thanks, and praise to the glory of the Father and the Son.
Go forth in the certainty of faith, in the knowledge of love, and in the vision of hope;
And may God work in you what is pleasing to Him,
Through Christ Jesus, to whom be the glory for ever and ever.
For 68 long days
I've been walking through the desert of your love
Trying to find a place
Where I will never hunger for your love
(CHORUS)
I'll get you out of my mind
Out of my body heart & life
You'll never see me
I'll never hurt like that again
I thought I saw you there
Desperate to hold what once was mine
I ran to you, begged & pleaded for your love
I reached for you but there was nothing there
(CHORUS)
I'll get you out of my mind
Out of my body heart & life
You'll never see me
I'll never hurt like that again
You know you know
You know what you did
You know you know
You lied & you stole my heart
You know you know
Never gonna get it again
For 68 long days
I've been walking through this desert you call love
(CHORUS)
I'll get you out of my mind
Out of my body heart & life
You'll never see me
I'll never hurt like that again
Rising through the sacred grounds
From the landscape vast and wide to see;
In the distance far
Where light shines in your yes;
You're blinded, beyond thoughts
In your mind, those dreams
That haunt you down to bleed
The might of the men; whose thoughts look
Them straight through their blinded eyes
Whom they lay the tasks for
To teach us of our sins
There is a keeper who looks
Into his crystal ball
To watch and command
All the people who come and pray
To his image of a man
As they look to him they bow their heads
And kneel in the court yards
To await his sermon
As a figure of monk rises to the stand
Discloses his hood
To pray a command
Mass has now began
(All hail) me!
Who's in your minds
And will command
All (our lives)
For those who seek
(We seek) my guidance
Are to give themselves to me
(Blessed be) me!
Who is the lord thy god to be
For this the time, now (in fear)
You all should be, willed by praises
Of faith and love to whom (to you)
Alast the time is near, for I must
Speak these words so you can
Hear the benediction
I am the lord!
For all must say amen-to a man
Here in the fields
Someone is calling my
Name: words for
The righteous:
(speak my son)
And words for
Those who are blind
Deceitful deceiver
You liar of man
Here this our God!
With benediction in her eyes,
Our dearest gods are not surprised.
You better hold your lover down,
Tie him to the ground.
Whisper "I love you,"
One thousand times into his ear, kiss his eyes,
And don't you cry girl, he won't disappear.
But I know better than to let you down.
With benediction in her mind,
She'll never get you back in time.
You better hold your lover down,
And tie her to the ground.
Simple pleasures strike like lighting,
Scratches spell her name.
Thunder demons swipe her halo,
And then they run away.
But I know better than to let her go.
With benediction in her eyes,
Our dearest gods are not surprised.
You better hold your lover down,
And tie her to the ground.
Simple pleasures strike like lightening,
Scratches cross her name.
Whisper "I love you my darling, life is just a fling."
But I know better than to let her go.
I know better that to let you go.
I know better than to her go.
I know better than to let you go.
I know better.
I know better.
