I have to say my friends
This road goes a long, long way
And if we're going to find the end
We're gonna need a helping hand
I have to say my friends
We're looking for a light ahead
In the distance a candle burns
Salvation keeps the hungry children fed
It's gotta take a lot of salvation
What we need are willing hands
You must feel the sweat in your eyes
You must understand salvation
A chance to put the devil down
Without the fear of hell
Salvation spreads the gospel round
What if I'm wrong,
I've been deceived all along
What if I'm wrong
What have I done
Did I waste a life just for fun
What have I done
What did I do
I did what voices told me to
What did I do
Where will I go
Will I sink through fire down below
Where will I go
Any chance of salvation
Any chance for me
Any chance of salvation for eternity
Any chance of salvation
Someone died for me
Washed in blood he cared enough to pity me
Why do I care
What's wrong with me, my hate is gone
Why do I care
When did I change
What's different now, it's very strange
When did I change
Any chance of salvation
Any chance for me
Any chance of salvation for eternity
Any chance of salvation
Someone died for me
Washed in blood he cared enough to pity me
In my heart
In my soul
Something's new, that's very old
Like a pain that's finally gone
I feel my heavy burden lifted
Any chance of salvation
Any chance for me
Any chance of salvation
Any chance of salvation
Any chance for me
Any chance of salvation for eternity
Any chance of salvation
Any chance for me
Any chance of salvation for eternity
Any chance of salvation
Any chance for me
Any chance of salvation for eternity

Sal-va-tion
Sal-va-tion
I can barely remember my past
Everything seems to disappear so fast
But I recall being jealous and alone
Gazing at the dreams going by
I started my life when you knocked on the door
Found something inside I didn't dare to ignore
Now I do believe in flowers on the moon
I'll swim beside the golden tide
You crashed by the gate
Captured my fate
Salvation
My eyes couldn't see
I hardly breathed
I was diving so deep
Salvation
I'm down in the study holding on to my luck
Will you still love me when I call you up?
I gave you my body, the power over me
Come on, bring out the best in me
You crashed by the gate
Captured my fate
Salvation
My eyes couldn't see
I hardly breathed
My heart was asleep
Salvation
Some will get broken
Others will get lucky like me meeting you
Don't pass me by
You crashed by the gate
Captured my fate
Salvation
My eyes couldn't see
I hardly breathed
I was down on my knees
Salvation
Some will get broken
Others will get lucky like me meeting you
Don't pass me by
Don't pass me by
I found salvation, oh yea
You bring me salvation
Sent to a world cold as steel
Don't know where else I have been
Where will I go? I can't tell
Who would save us if we fell?
Can you feel what I see
In blind faith would you believe?
Don't share my point of view
But it may mean a lot to you
Tell me will we remember
How it used to be?
Will it be the same?
In a time in the future
Will there be a different way?
Can one ever say?
Anthem for a distant world
We'll be all alike
Be there 'til eternity
One will see when salvation comes our way
All my life I was sure
Kept my thoughts real, clean and pure
Just as I will always know
We're down here to learn and grow
I am my own entity
And this world is there for free
Keeps me alive till that day
When my soul will find the way
In another dimension
You may find paradise
We'll be safe and warm
I've been told there'll be everyone
I held so close and dear
There will be no fear
Anthem for a distant world
We'll be all alike
Be there 'til eternity
One will see when salvation comes our way
Anthem for a distant world
We'll be all alike
Be there 'til eternity
One will see when salvation comes
When salvation comes
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your salvation
there's a neighborhood called blackhawk
where all the rich people hide
I was down on my luck working for the salvation army
The shelter is where i reside
Everyday we drive into blackhawk
and we pick up the offerings
Microwave, refrigerator for the suffering
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your salvation
I can't believe these people live like kings
Hidden estates and diamond rings
I'm a rat out on a mission
I'm in your front yard under suspicion
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your salvation - we need some liberation
And I believe in history yeah
It's time to make a difference and its plain to see
I just want to live my life
Do you know what's wrong or right?
All we get is talk from you
Imagine a life without rules
I want your savlation - I need your creation
I don't want to die an abomination
Why can't you see - I got to be free
I'm never gonna stop being me
I want some indication and we need consideration
We're all the sum of humanity
How long will it take before you hear our pleas?
We just want to live our lives
Is there any hope in sight?
Can't you see our point of view?
How long can you hide from the truth?
What you want you might never get it
Till you try -so reach and grab it
Live your life for no real reason
I can't believe all the things I'm seeing
Represent it stands to reason all your life I call it treason
So live your life for no real reason

Chorus
Bridge x2:
Our Hope Is Found In You
Our Strength is Found In You
Our Life is Found In You
Salvation Is Found In You
Chorus x2
Salvation Is Found In You
He's sleeping in the hallway
Sick with cold and wine
The doors are locked before him
His bridges burned behind
Like a singin' bird in winter
With a solitary song
Nobody there to hear him
Nobody helps him along
Buddy, was it pride before you fell?
It's a long way down that crooked road to hell
Salvation
Fifty hours from midnight
As the sparrow falls
The sound of someone weeping
Echoes through the halls
Poisened by the failure
To keep somebody near
His memory is laughter
His certainty is fear
Buddy, was it pride before you fell?
It's a long way down that crooked road to hell
Salvation
Salvation, did somebody cry?
Did somebody cry?
Salvation
Salvation, did somebody cry?
Did somebody cry?
Oh, Lazarus
Somewhere in the city
Somewhere in his pain
A ragged man with no coat on
Is shivering in the rain
And your mark is on his forehead
A servant and a dove
God, won't you help me to know your face
Teach me how to love
Buddy, was it pride before you fell?
It's a long way down that crooked road to hell
Salvation
Salvation, did somebody cry?
Did somebody cry?
Did somebody cry?
Did somebody cry?
Salvation
Salvation, did somebody cry?
Behold a blood-washed multitude
Before the throne of God
Day and night they serve Him in the temple
As the faithful throng wave their palms
From every tribe and nation
A here-to-fore unheard of roar of joy and jubilation
CHORUS:
Salvation belongs to our God
And to the One who's on the throne
Salvation belongs to the Lamb
To our God and to the Lamb alone
Amen, praise and glory
Wisdom, honor, strength, and power
Be to our God forever and ever
In this eternal glorious hour
They will never thirst again
Neither will they hunger
For the Lamb will be their Shepherd
For the kingdom of this world's become
The kingdom of our Christ
And God will wipe away the tears
From each and every eye
CHORUS
Amen, praise and glory
Wisdom, honor, strength, and power
Be to our God forever and ever
In this eternal glorious hour
CHORUS
Salvation belongs to our God
To all those people doin' lines,
Don't do it, don't do it.
Inject your soul with liberty,
It's free, it's free.
To all the kids with heroin eyes,
Don't do it, don't do it.
Because it's not not what it seems,
No no it's not not what it seems.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Ah, ah, ah, ah
To all the parents with sleepless nights,
Sleepless nights.
Tie your kids home to their beds,
Clean their heads.
To all the kids with heroin eyes,
Don't do it, don't do it.
Because it's not not what it seems,
No no it's not not what it seems.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation spring up from the ground
Lord, rend the heavens and come down
Seek the lost and heal the lame
Jesus, bring glory to Your name
Let all the prodigals run home
All of creation waits and groans
Lord, we've heard of Your great fame
Father, cause all to shout Your name
Stir up our hearts, O God
Open our spirits to awe who You are
Put a cry in us
So deep inside
That we cannot find
The words we need
A long distance run without any tension
Raptured soul, raptured life
A long distance run without any tension
Grow in the half of a night, bloom
Live this life in straight lines
Step aside, step below
Watch yourself falling
Flight lines, light lines become clear
Slightly I remember the way to the origin of despair
Reality is what comes first
Attempt to see through my eyes
Careless and senseless devotion
Nothingness is a part of me
On the behalf of you imagination
The blackened curtain seems to fall
Beside the stage we lose out soul
A different place, a distant time
Say goodbye salvation
Blacken the earth and darken the sky
Blacken the earth and darken the sky
The blackened curtain seems to fall
Beside the stage we lose out soul
A different place, a distant time
Say goodbye salvation
A long distance run without any tension
Raptured soul, raptured life
A long distance run without any tension
Grow in the half of a night, bloom
Live this life in straight lines
Step aside, step below
Watch yourself falling
Someday I hope to rise above material chains which hold me down
To turn my anger into love and keep my feet planted on the ground.
To undo stigmas societies branded, misconceptions about being a man.
To be grateful, take nothing for granted, to live the truth as best I can.
I seek the truth whatever that may be,
I seek the answers to questions, please God help me.
To look at people and see no color, vision clear of prejudice or spite,
To treat people just like my brother, for this I pray with all my might.
To learn to let go of all my fears and learn to embrace all of my tears,
To search for faith and humility, to walk the path which sets me free.
Salvation, from society, damnation, have mercy on me.
So many lies I told, so many lives I've sold.
So far away from who I am I never understand.
So many things I regret, so many things that I let
Take me away from myself, too late to take it back.
So many dreams I had, so many lives I've lived
So many friends I said goodbye forever
So amny times I wish, so many times I dream,
Do it again, I swear I'd never.
In my quest to uncover the truth the deepest wounds get left behind
(Jascha Richter/Chief 1)
Should I close my eyes so I don't see your smile
Would it be a clever thing to do
And should I stay away from you for a little while
Should I leave it all behind
(Chorus)
When you are giving me salvation just like someone heaven sent
This wasn't meant to be baby can't you see
This is an open invitation for the beginning of the end
Though I'm flying now, I'm gonna be crying over you
Should I stop dancing on the edge of a knife
Would it be a clever thing to do
Should I lock my door should I stop kissing life
Should I get rid of you
(Chorus)
This love is forbidden fruit (baby just stop looking at me)
I should have cut you off by the root (this love just wasn't meant to be)
(Chorus)
So Jesus left you lonely
Feels like nothing's really holy
No one no one hears your calling
Falling everything is falling
Do you feel alive?
Can oyu feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
So Jesus left you lonely
Feels like nothings really holy
No one no one hears your calling
Falling everything is falling
Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Try so hard just to speak to you
Nothing ever seems to come through
Circumstances on the breaking back
Try to sit down is a therapy
Oh salvation
Oh salvation
Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?

When I was a little girl
I started dreamin' 'bout my place in
This big world
My mamma taught me how to be a lady
And my daddy, He loved me
But more importantly, when I was
Eight years old
Received eternity and a love that won't
Grow cold
I gotta talk about it, sing about it
I can't face the world without it
Sweet Salvation
It's not magical, not mystical
It's purely supernatural
Sweet, Sweet Salvation
Come on and sit next to me
I'll tell you about a man who can set you free
Died when he was thirty-three
He gave his life on calvary
It's undeniable; his page in history
So incredible, this human deity
Doesn't matter what your size
Or the kind of car you drive
Ask and you will recieve
Doesn't matter where you've been
Or the color of your skin
To confess all of your sins
Is where you salvation begins
For the truth lies deep withi your soul
Conform to the holy dogma let it
UNFOLD
Salvation - Is the only way
Salvation - The healing of the decay
Revealing the dark thoughts
Is knowing your own heart
Expose all of you weak spots
And tell me where it rots
Salvation - Is the only way
Without surrendering you seal your faith
No angels or saints to carry your weight
Your innermost core needs to be revealed
And the dying soul can be healed
Salvation - Is the only way
IT'S WARRRRRR
(Hook)
We are one, we move as a unit, this is our mic, we are one!
(Who is your general private?)
Killah Priest We fight the ungodly
With the righteous sword of justice
And we will follow him all the days of our life
We are one, we move as a unit, this is our mic, we are one!
The plot was to stop the Nazarene break up his black regime
Smash his dreams from being the greatest that rap has seen
They laugh while scheming on ways to stop him having cream
That's blasphemy to not mention his name in magazines
Luckily the young warrior had mad esteem
He kept writing, back in his lab he hit his pad extreme
And in the midst of all the chaos he took half his team
Called 'em Black Market and Maccabeez
While the serpent use the worldly things to attract his queen
Broke his heart she played the part Mary Magdalene
Hissing his words that the other side of the grass was green
But I ain't trying to hold you baby go ahead flap your wings
Gun in the waist of his baggy jeans stayed strapped
Yankee cap above his durag lean
Police that pass flash sirens outside his projects
Where the dealers push crack to fiends
There he did some soul searching now he's back redeemed
Look at his album cover stained glass of the King
Wallpapers of gangsters hang up
Next to King Solomon Amen Ra and King Tut
Beneath that incense burns frank incense the fragrance of the prince
Priests the saint the angels fight in his defense light the hemp
It's bright take a glimpse at the crouching statues
Within the tall fence of his castle
(Hook)
I called on Michael, Gabriel and Uriel to pull me from Hell
A jury of twelve await my burial
They said they want my great material
My vision blurry can't tell I hear the bells near the church steeple
Where Rafael awaits his fate break the curse of evil
I'm holding rosemary beads it's scary roll the hairy weed
Inside the blackberry leaves
Its cold but what worries me will my crew leave when they bury me come hurry see
The Brotherhood climbing a hillside at the fall of darkness
The night arches over the projects
As they speak of the legacy of Priest the artist
They share words of his hardship
And he sung his psalms to a harpist
His garment was blood soaked
Around his crown he wore halo of blunt smoke below his navel his guns poked
So may this Offering give your thoughts wings?
May it fly high start soaring pass the corpse of kings
Beyond the cloud scraping mountains, travel the way of the falcon
To a tucked away enchanted Island
You land see the ruins of his old palace
The wide stone steps that leads to his throne
You see his face made of hard stone, he just sit there and zone
My eyes are open but they're empty as the painted eyes on a doll
Walk inside the fog sit beside my catalogue
See his face? It aged to something strange come in range
Upon his sculpture grows weed vines with small rosebuds
So show love to the Priest revelations and this is my salvations
This is my salvation
(Chant)
(Hook)
'King of Mysteries, who wast and art
Before the elements, before the ages
King eternal, comely in aspect
who reigns forever, grant me three things:
Keenness to discern your will
Wisdom to understand it
Courage to follow where it leads.'
"Salvation isn't just about being saved from Hell after you die.

Duck talking to the sky.
Hello Daddy
Hello Momma
Hello old friends
Angels of the mystery
Flying out flying in
There ain't no way
That's the way it goes
And heaven is just an adjustment
And I didn't know where I was standing,
And I didn't know what I was taking,
A hundred years holding to these hopes of mine.
And the wind will blow if not I'll make him,
Oh I swear to God, I swear I'll make him,
A million years, holding to these hopes of mine.
[Chorus]
I know I don't have to do this
I promise I'll be waiting,
Leave it all behind.
Hey you, don't you leave me hanging.
I need someone to help me leave it all behind.
And the world won't stop and I can't bare it.
Oh you have to admit it's suffocating.
A hundred years holding to these hopes of mine.
The sun will shine and I will hate it.
And I also loathe it when it's raining.
A million years holding to these hopes of mine.
[Chorus]
I know I don't have to do this
I promise I'll be waiting,
Leave it all behind.
Hey you, don't you leave me hanging.
I need someone to help me leave it all behind.

Leave it all behind.
Hey you, don't you leave me hanging.
I need someone to help me leave it all behind.
(Oooooooooh)
I know I don't have to do this;
Promise you'll be waiting;
Hold my hand and tell me I don't have to do this.
I know this world is waiting;
Can't you see I'm aching?
Hold my hand and tell me I don't have to do this;
Promise you'll be waiting;

And I was like a stranger coming home

I loved you dear and never will forget
Salvation, Salvation
When my bridges burned all I saw was you
On the other side too good to be true
Got to get up and moan

Got to get up and moan
Got to get up and moan
And I went out in that bad old world to roam
And I was like a stranger coming home
And I went out in that bad old world to roam
And I was like a stranger coming home
Say Judas came up to D.C.
He'd been down in Georgia for a while
He drove a 944
He bought with the soul
Of a blonde-headed kid
With a left-handed guitar
Now he's lookin' for me
Citizen C-O-P-E
Sign the dotted line please
For the fake 50's
Now Judas answer me
"Since I was the age to speak
Haven't you been listening?"
Salvation
Salvation
Salvation
Salvation
I'm calling
Salvation
Well he came to town
Found the woman that I love
And he fucked her down
She told him where I live
Off of 9th in the alleyway
Where they say
They got the coke and the dope
Until you end up broken
"You should have let the smack get you" he said
"But now you've got to deal with me instead
I'm downstairs on the Motorola
You know I've got 3 golden bullets
And I'm shooting for your soul"
Salvation
Well I came down with my Martin blazin'
My voice
It was cutting him up
Now he's aiming
His first shot grazed my eye
I lost half of my sight
And my firstborn's life
The second shot grazed off my guitar moon
And it made my guitar kinda play out of tune
But I just kept playing
Like I had nothing to lose
He turned the third on himself
'Cause the bastard knew
Salvation I'm calling
Salvation
Put the gun down
Put the gun down
Put the gun down
From the dawn of time, the strong have always ruled the weak
Like a knife in the back the promises they made
Never fullfilled you're always betrayed
But now the time has come
For you to rise once more
To take back what's yours
And be forever free
Salvation is now close at hand
In union we stand
We'll spread the word across the land
In union we stand
Since the day they arrived
We all have known what will come
Too many times beaten down to the ground, never again
But now the time has come
For you to rise once more
To take back what's yours
And be forever free
Salvation is now close at hand
In union we stand
We'll spread the word across the land
In union we stand
The days of freedom are long since gone
For you and I the fight goes on
To bring back some sunshine into our lives
Salvation is now close at hand
In union we stand
We'll spread the word across the land
It's another spin out just like every other night
Dusk comes out once more and on go the street lights
Your getting cold out in the dark and you think you are alone
You think you stand in solitude no-one you can condone
Yeah it feels like something's missing - it's banging on your brain
So hungry for salvation you crawl right out of the drain
You step back on the cold concrete you're searching for direction
There's not so many answers only worthless questions
Then you hear a sound that may just change your mind
WO-O-OH HEY
Your salvation, it's liberation, your revolution for civilization
There's something that comes with this that just cannot be missed
This punk rock sound that makes me wanna raise a clenched fist
Oh yeah it taught me to disobey so don't stand around
'Cause here's to the music and the ones who move to the sound
[Chorus]
Now I've got the music that changed my life forever
And now I'm not turning back - no not ever
Oh ignorance it ain't bliss but I got the music - I got the sound
There ain't anything in the world that could ever bring me down
[Chorus]
Sounds of White Light to the Rockabilly beat
Music's my salvation from my head to my feet
This song goes out to all the bands that I know
Keep rocking my radio - radio
You know I'm never down when the needle hits the wax
'Cause something ignites of me that's gonna fire me up - see
I've got the tune like an army on attack
I'm gonna play it so fuckin' loud it's gonna rock the hard concrete
WE'VE COME THIS FAR NOW - WE'RE NEVER TURNING BACK NOW
WE'VE COME THIS FAR AND I KNOW
What is your salvation
What keeps you alive
Is it good intentions
That get tossed aside
Rise up nazareth miracles believe
That say that Jesus saves
But he hasn't gotten to me
Prize to the Nazarene
Godsent only son
Hung for all to see
Bleeding just for me
Bleed upon the Sabbath day
Ridiculed by all
Born upon the Sabbath day
Head filled crown of thorns
Rooster's crow, Judas kiss
Six pence to the pilot
Sent savior now taken down
To the hallowed ground
Prize to the Nazarene
Godsent only son
Hung for all to see
Bleeding just for me
Bleed upon the Sabbath day
Ridiculed by all
Born upon the Sabbath day
Head filled crown of thorns
Bleed upon the Sabbath day
Ridiculed by all
Born upon the Sabbath day
Head filled crown of thorns
What is your salvation
What keeps you alive
Is it good intentions
That get tossed aside
Do you speak in riddles
Of the dark and light
Or are you just here now
Begging for your life?
Bleed upon the Sabbath day
Ridiculed by all
Born upon the Sabbath day
Head filled crown of thorns
What is your salvation
What keeps you alive
Is it good intentions
That get tossed aside
Do you speak in riddles
Of the dark and light
Or are you just here now
Begging for your life?
What is your salvation
What keeps you alive
Is it good intentions
That get tossed aside
Do you speak in riddles
Of the dark and light
Or are you just here now
To all the people doing lines
Don't do it, don't do it
Inject your soul with liberty
It's free, it's free
To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don't do it, don't do it
Cos it's not, not what it seems
Oh no it's not, not what it seems
(chorus)
Salvation, Salvation, Salvation is free
Salvation, Salvation, Salvation is free
To all the parents with sleepless nights
Sleepless nights
Tie your kids home to their beds
Clean their heads
To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don't do it, don't do it
Cos it's not, not what it seems
No no it's not, not what it seems
(repeat chorus)
[L. Farkas / G. Mancaruso]
Today is the day of salvation!
Mother of salvation stands all alone
Save yourself expendable
Feeling the rain pour down like bloodshed
Look to skies, darken our lives
Lunatics take over the insane asylum
No provocation but still beat the war drums
Feeling the rain pour down like bloodshed
Look to skies as it darkens our lives
Constructing a wasteland to imprison the damned
Salvation
A life giving womb that has been exhumed
Salvation that fools us all
Forbidden knowledge we can't comprehend
They say that life would be it’s hardest in your
teenage years
Well, some of what they say is really true
They say that life will come and find you when your
heart is new
I don’t believe it from the mouths of fools
So hang on, hang on
We got a million different ways to see our emotions
We got a million different ways to trick our heads to
bring us down
We got a million different colors to see in the ocean
But every time I analyze it plays a trick upon my eyes
I’m lost
I’m finding my way back to my dreams (Whoa)
I’m finding my way back to my dreams (Whoa)
Living in a world that only takes from you
Makes you want to give in and give up (Don’t give up)
But soon you realize that you are not alone
Innocence disguises what you love
So do what you love
We got a million different ways to see our emotions
We got a million different ways to trick our heads to
bring us down
We got a million different colors to see in the ocean
But every time I analyze it plays a trick upon my eyes
I’m lost
I’m finding my way back to my dreams (Whoa)
I’m finding my way back to my dreams (Whoa)
Hold on to the things that keep you young
Nothing lasts forever, gone is gone (‘Til we find our
way)
Don’t be so hard on yourself
There will always be a chance to make it better
Things will get better
We got a million different ways to see our emotions
We got a million different ways to trick our heads to
bring us down
We got a million different colors to see in the ocean
But every time I analyze it plays a trick upon my eyes
I’m lost
I’m finding my way back to my dreams (Whoa)
I’m finding my way back to my dreams (Whoa)
I’m finding my way back to my dreams
Excuse me stranger, what are you embracing?
The roots of the ground live in blood as we speak
Disgusted by your weakness
You have no right to live
To know you is to hate you
But your life?s yours to give
You monkey see, you monkey do
You?re always doing what they tell you to
You?re such a puppet on a string
You don?t get it
I won?t bow to something
That I?ve never seen
Can?t believe in something
That doesn?t believe in me
I?m not blood of your blood
I?m no son of your God
I?ve no faith in your fate
Still I find salvation
You think you have the answers
To every last detail
In your eyes, you?re the victor
In mine, you?ve all but failed
You monkey see, you monkey do
You?re always doing what they tell you to
You?re like a puppet on a string
You don?t get it
Just monkey see and monkey do
You?re always doing what they tell you to
You?re like a puppet on a string
You don?t get it
I won?t bow to something
That I?ve never seen
Can?t believe in something
That doesn?t believe in me
I?m not blood of your blood
I?m no son of your God
I?ve no faith in your fate
Still I find salvation
Still I find salvation
I'm searchin for my salvation
Oh yeah
I'm tired of dragging
On and on
On and on
Day by day
Days with days ?
I can feel the pain
The world is resting on my brain
I can feel the hurt of a broken child
She's going insane
I pray that she'll make it home
Home [3X]
Times have changed
But we can rearrange the ills?
Society has swept on my feet
Some words I can't even speak
Still pressin
Movin forward
Blindly
Without a trace
Lookin for a reason to go on
On [3X]
I pray to an unknown God
Please reveal yourself to me
'cause hope is sifting from my hands
Like lost time
I can't make believe
I won't make believe
I can't make believe
When I look into your eyes
Do you know me
I'm searchin for my soul
Searchin on
Praying on
Looking on
I am searching
I am praying
I am looking
Searching on
Praying on
Looking on
Stitching threads of truth into the emptiest deception
To bleed the open scabs once more and multiply
obsession
Intangible seduction and a manufactured dream
Faith is what is hoped for but heaven isn't free
The path to God
A downward slide
Something to reach for
When you can't hide
Words to live by
Most of the time
Words that pacify your mind
Salvation is yours
If you follow the rest in line
Conform to the process of giving in
And rise above the swine
The only solution
Is this endless reprise
Breaking your knees all day
To reach for the sky
Working shards of guilt into the ignorant perspective
To tear the open wound once more and justify redemption
Reversible acceptance by a contradicting doctrine
God is love to everyone except for those who question
The light is here
To blind your way
Something to help you
Explain it away
Words to support
Whatever you say
Words that mask your human ways
The age of your belief doesn't validate the message
And faith is not a fact despite all that you've
invested
Your word is just a veil to hide what you can never be
A reason to deny all responsibility
The path to God
A downward slide
Something to use
To hide your life
Words to kill for
When others refuse
As I fall away, immortal visions reign
Gateway to the unknown successor
To former lives
Bring to me the stench
Of burning hate
Slaves of revelation call
Final warning, final fate
As I fall away
Salvation
Rejects me
Blood stained salvation
Handed down with faith
Eternal fear a just reward
Something for revenge
I hear the voices cry
Beckon to be told
An ancient truth unveiled
A fortress of deceit
Seasons of decay, harvest of souls
Faith condemned
Shamed once again
If ever you are walkin' down the lonely street
No one to lean on
No one to help you on
Cars and buildings so high
Dispairity so wide
The only dreams we can see
Are the ones on t.v.
If you need somebody,
If you need,
If you grieve,
I'm your sole salvation.
The city is on fire
can't you see these streets
emptied in ashes, witless
made afraid
made expatriots
made youth of idle science and unbelief
so far from my brother
passin' down the street.
[Jeremy:] Excuse me stranger, what are you embracing?
[Cole Wallace:] The roots of the ground live in blood as we speak [x2]
I can sense the rhythm and its time to panic.
[bonus track]
Deep shadows above the black-blue sea,
The eyes of the storm are watching me
A murderous silence is gasping for air
Dark clouds are resting, can't flee
I see my breath, it's cold and clear
My eyes show emptiness, not fear
I feel the hungry sea around
I slip into the muddy ground
(this muddy street)
The silence is like a brother to me
It gives me sense behind my mind
I feel the hands of silence and peace
My time has come
On tins fateful night, I will surrender my life
With no regrets in my heart and no tear
For such is the way of the warrior:
To die with honor and steel!
Salvation
Will never come
Salvation
Oh son of mine
I am sorry to leave you behind
But my duty calls, and tonight there's no...
The siege begins
It won't be long before the end of our song
We strike as fast and as hard as we can
To breathe our last to meet a glorious death
Oh son of mine
I am sorry to leave you behind
But my duty calls, and tonight there's no...
Salvation!
My time has come
Salvation, spring up from the ground
Lord, rend the heavens and come down
Seek the lost and heal the lame
Jesus, bring glory to Your name
Let all the prodigals run home
All of creation waits and groans
Lord, we're heard of Your great fame
Father, cause all to shout Your name
Stir up our hearts, Oh God
Open our spirits to awe who You are
Put a cry in us so deep inside
That we cannot find the words we need
Grow, Grow
It's your revenge, You stand up
Slow, Slow
Enjoy it, Don't miss anything
Grow, Grow
It's your revenge, You stand up
Slow, Slow
Enjoy it, Don't miss anything
No time to breath
Don't look back
Out of breath
Go further
Time's running out
I can't see anything's coming
Believe in you was a mistake
But reality is quite different
I'm becoming stronger
I'm not afraid of yours threats
I'd rather move forward
You can't keep your venom
I made up in mind
I leave and look outside
I make fun of you
I really got no choice
Losing control, Salvation
Bleeding without pain, Not losing face
Can't bear your control, Damnation
Escape, Escape, Escape, Always the same thing
We are share the same regrets, The same fears
It's time to choose, Time to be cured
Wanna be myself
Keep only one wish in mind
My life's under control, My fate is mine, It's mine
When you make a decision, apply it to yourself
Don't share the tears that are not mine
I'm becoming stronger
I'm not afraid of yours threats
I'd rather move forward
You can't keep your venom
I made up in mind
I leave and look outside
I make fun of you
I really got no choice
Losing control, Salvation
Bleeding without pain, Not losing face
Can't bear your control, Damnation
Escape, Escape, Escape, Always the same thing
Keep only one wish in mind
My life's under control, My fate is mine, It's mine
When you make a decision, apply it to yourself
Don't share the tears that are not mine
Grow, Grow
It's your revenge, You stand up
Slow, Slow
Enjoy it, Don't miss anything
Losing control, Salvation | x4
Can't bear your control, Damnation | x4
Keep only one wish in mind
My life's under control, My fate is mine, It's mine
When you make a decision, apply it to yourself
Don't share the tears that are not mine
I let go
I can't contain myself anymore
I disappear
Destructive power lies in our minds
They say there's "no heaven", we live than die
A fallen angel leads the way
Promising Heaven and delivering hell
But there's a way of life
It's the way of The Light
Ancient of days fountain of life
A love beyond measure everlasting life
Highway to grace eternal delight
We are his treasure if we trust Him with our lives
Salvation
We got a fire that burns inside our souls
A gift of life- whith no more death
Can you hear it's voice callin' you
Ready, I am ready, breathe salvation.
Lord we hear your prayer, bring forth revival.
Rise, oh ancient one, breathe salvation.
We failed by the hands of man.
And laid claim to idols.
How selfish are we in the eyes of God.
You reject truth and lay claim to idols.
Fearing your demise, breathe salvation.
To those of you who hide behind your sorrows.
And cower in your time of need.
We must prepare our hearts for the demise of a nation, which lies in the palm of our hands.
Heed the warnings, focus not on what's seen and stand above the weakness,
For all who know Him stand to gain eternity.
Our hearts yearn for Your return.
Our hearts yearn for Your return.
Don't hide behind your weakness.
Don't hide behind your weakness.
Hear our cry, fill our hearts, Salvation.
Send Your rain, cover us in honor, we honor You.
Verse 1:
There's a voice inside my head
And it cracks the way yours did
When we fought it out like kids
It could wake the dead
Now I miss the way you scream
I reach for you should be
In a bed that's not my own
Some town you've never seen
No matter how long
I'd lie and did you wrong
I've done my time, oh
God knows that I've learned and I need you
Chorus:
Salvation lies within you
You know it's true
Until I die I will love you
You know it's true
Verse 2:
When you sleep you grind your teeth
And it made me so crazy
I couldn't sleep awake those nights
The thought makes me smile
I started washing my own clothes
And I'm cleaner I suppose
I've learned to cook for myself
But I always eat alone
No matter how long
I lied and I did you wrong
I've done my time, oh
God knows that I've learned and I need you
Chorus:
Salvation lies within you
You know it's true
Until I die I will love you
Yeah, you know it's true
Bridge:
You know it's true
Salvation lies within you
Chorus:
Salvation lies within you
You know it's true
Until I die I will love you
You know it's true
Salvation lies within you
You know it's true
Until I die I will love you
Bring me my salvation now. Tearing away all the
restraints.
It has to be, it's the only way. Finding a way to break
through the weight.
It has to be, it's the only way. Can you save me from
myself?
My heart-strings have snapped. I collapse in myself.
It has to be, it's the only way. The black turns to red.
Never mind insanity
I thought while hugging my wrong
I was humin on a melody
That i heard from a ladybug
Hoping it not too late for people like you and me
I hope it´s not too late for people like you and me
While clanging to my ladybug
I feel I need to get whole
Because there is nothing worse than being all alone
Hope it's still not too late for people like you and me
I hope it´s not too late for people like you and me
Now you don´t have to save me
I found salvation in the tree
Oh don´t you worry baby ´cause I´m *set* free
While clanging to my ladybug do wings pol de paux son
And now we're fighting gravity like loupe done
It´s not too late for people like you and me
No is still not too late for people like you and me
Now you don´t have to save me
I found salvation in the tree
Oh don´t you worry baby ´cause I´m set free
Now you don´t have to save me
I found salvation in the tree
While you'll be growing roots i'll be set free
Is still not too late for people like you and me
I taste the tears on my thirsty lips and tongue
Fill me with all verve anda make me live
The venom burns and thin the spit kill the salvation
Take away this bane and heat my veins
You came to rescue me
I show you my worship
The power of my hope
I fact the hears to survive across this land
Misty dreams came in my head again
Of the days and nights
Another soul is pure and safe
Lifetime - Gave me - Timeless - Dreams to - Fly
The flames are burning far
You came to rescue me
I show you my worship
The power of my hope
Now I go through the time, feeling no weight over me
Light as a silk, hoating in the air
The power of your hand and the strength in your eyes
Helped me
Truste and love stand by my side
I fact the hears to survive across this land
Misty dreams came in my head again
Of the days and nights
Another soul is pure and safe
You came to rescue me
I show you my worship
Went to the sea but the tide was out,
Stood on the shore, but the wind was cold,
Waited around till no ones’ about,
Thought of my spirit till my head took hold,
Looked in my heart but my heart was empty,
Looked to the ground but the road was long,
But now I’ve found my new salvation,
It’s so new the old one’s young
I’ve been waiting for the dark to come,
My temptation and salvation
I’ve been waiting for the tide to turn
Dark eyes become divine
I need the love I crave
You’re hands they burn like mine
I’ll take you to my grave
Dark eyes become divine
I need the love I crave
You’re hands they burn like mine
I’ll take you to my grave
I’ve been waiting for the dark to come,
My temptation and salvation
I’ve been waiting for the tide to turn
Dark eyes become divine
I need the love I crave
You’re hands they burn like mine
Can you see the magic numbers
Falling from the sky
Trying to get inside my head
But I just don't know why
Oohh
Feel the power from the brain
Oohh
Driving me insane
Watch out
Salvation through pythagoras
Watch out
And don't be late
I can see the vision
Of a man who knows it all
Is it just a dream
Or is there someone I can call
I've come undone
I've abandoned You
And the silence is deafening
The silence is taking me away
Where have I gone
I feel so far away
But You're closer than You've ever been
I can't run away
I can see You now
As my world ends
With a humbled heart
I bow down to You
I can feel You now
As my world ends
With a desperate heart
I cry out to You
Salvations finally come
The troubled days are long gone
Don't wanna be forgotten
When we united, we belong.
Deafening, trembling the fear of
Never settling
Impressions, intentions
Will never be undone
Salvations finally come
The troubled days are long gone
Don't wanna be forgotten
When we united, we belong.
And this is who we are now
And we don't give a shit now
We have a fucking point now
We want to turn it up loud
And this is who we are now
And we don't give a shit now
We have a fucking point now.
And this is who we are now.
Salvations finally come
The troubled days are long gone
Don't wanna be forgotten
There's no salvation in my heaven
There's no fire in my hell
I'm living with the fear
That you won't bring me near
The life that I've been longing for as well
They're going to California
I'm coming home to stay
They're bringing out the things in me they want to see
But they're not hearing all I have to say
There's no fire in their eyes
Oh, it's cold out here
And it's warm in there
Take me in
And I'll take you there
To a brighter plane
Where the looks don't lie
We may find that we're more alive
And they can go
But I'm here to stay
I won't be the one who's stuck outside
I hope it's getting better all the time
I'm living in the sea now
It's cold, dark and blue
I'm swimming with the fear
That you might disappear
Into the lies we found to be so true
They're all going to California
But I'm coming home to stay
They're bringing out the things in me they want to see
But they're not hearing all I want to say
There's no fire in their sky
Oh, it's cold out here
And it's warm in there
Take me in
And I'll take you away
To a brighter plane
Where the looks don't lie
We may find that we're more alive
And they can go
But I'm here to stay
I won't be the one who's stuck inside
I hope it's getting better all the time
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I look to see if you have gone
There's no one here I know
(Oh no, oh no)
In the wake of the friends I lost
Drowning here alone
(Oh no, oh no)
Up against the highest tide
But I won't be the one who's stuck inside
I hope it's getting better all the time
Salvation
Have we changed so much or is time deceiving
We repeat our fathers as our souls are bleeding
We fight these wars to redeem ourselves
As our children die and our brothers starve
Is destiny a darkened knight
Or an infant angel taking flight?
As the leaves turn color and the skies turn angry
I pray for all mankind to save me
In a world of anger, lies, and hate
I keep looking for a sould to save
In the eyes of the brave in the hearts of young
And the tears that I cry as I walk alone
Is destiny a darkened knight
Or an infant angel taking flight?
As the leaves turn color and the skies turn angry
I pray for all mankind to save me
In a perfect world in a time I've been to
I can see a place that I once did cherish
In a time of trust in a land of heart
(Words and music Geoff Bullock)
Salvation !
Your grace has set me free
Delivered ,saved and sanctified
Redeemed ,forgiven ,justified
Salvation !
Your grace has rescued me
I've come to put my trust in the Lord
Salvation !
Your blood it covers me
Renewed and raised and purified
Baptised ,restored and glorified
Salvation !
Your Word transforming me
I've come to put my trust in the Lord
I'm walking step by step
I'm reading line by line
Faith to faith I'm praying all the time
I'm singing praise Your Name
I know I'm not the same
Heaven opens ,Spirit falls
No longer in your god's hands does your salvation lie
Never getting enough
They won't stop
Ripped limb from limb just for fun
The reaper laughs in the chambers of doom
There is no escape
No escape from you
Over and over hear the screams
In this place you call hell
Look upon the cross
See the three-headed dog
Here is your god
No horned devil here
Only an image of yourself
Play the cards that you've been dealt
There is no escape from the beast
Don't want to leave this world
Not ready to die
It wasn't your ime
Now it's too late
How will you make the journey back?
It's up to the reaper now
No longer in your god's hands does your salvation lie
He has forsaken and betrayed his own
Do what is asked of you and you'll be set free
So much hate
So much love
So much anger
So much hate for the one who left you behind
Play the cards right and you'll knock him off his
throne
Well I don't think you're being very honest with yourself
About your souls' condition or your spirtual health
But you don't think about it very often cause it makes you uneasy
You know that I love you and I love to see you smile
But we must discuss a matter serious a while
You may be offended but there's something I wish you could have
Salvation (Salvation), you are forgiven
Salvation (Salvation), you are forgiven
Salvation (Salvation), you are forgiven
Salvation (Salvation), you are forgiven
You matter to me so much that I have to take a risk
Of having you get mad at me I'd hate for you to miss
The loving of Jesus and his voice that's calling you home to him
The first thing you have to come to term with it is this
You're dead in your transgressions and I'm sorry hell exists
But you don't have to go there if Jesus is taking your place
Salvation (Salvation), you are forgiven
Salvation (Salvation), you are forgiven
Salvation (Salvation), you are forgiven
I could've sworn you'd never leave me
I could'a been your one and only
I could'a sworn you'd never walk out on me
what do you want me to be?
I could'a sworn you'd always need me
I could've sworn you'd never let me go
and all the things you never told me
and all the times I let you scold me
I would'a sworn that high and mighty way
patience made me whole but I don't understand today
how I'm a victim to the mantle of my quiet gentle way
I could offer you salvation but you'd fritter it away
and I'm tired of false emotion from my lying former friend
I could'a sworn I made you happy
I could'a been your true love always
I could'a sworn you'd never want me to leave
what would you have me believe?
I could'a sworn you'd always hold me
I could'a sworn you'd always be with me
and all the lies you knew you sold me
and all the ways I let you mould me
I would'a sworn until my dying day
...I could offer you forgiveness but you'd throw it all away
Don't be a stranger
(Don't be a stranger)
Don't think that we are that different
(We aren't as different)
We aren't as different as we think
We're closer than we know
I see us running
(See us running)
I see us run the race of success
(Only after success)
I see us run for the diamonds
Run for total control
I've been rung
I wont run no more
Oh no, they don't know salvation
They don't know fire with the flame
Oh how easily we all blow away
I see us running
(See us running)
I run beside to see more of us
(See more of us)
I run beside to see were we are heading
And how far we will go
I know the world can live without me
But I can't live without the world
I'm just a stranger
But honey don't you know that
I don't want to be, don't want to be alone
Blow away, oh how we blow, away
We're the fire, I'm the flame!
Fire with the flame
They wont blow us away!
We're the fire!
They wont blow us away, were fire with the flame!
Welcome to this world of pain and torture, one that grows worse with the
Passing of time.
We are slipping further into this darkness.
Who is here to save us as we suffer the fall.
You lay me down to rest with another bullet in my chest.
Their judgement will pass swift and sure.
In the depths of despair a new salvation is rising.
There is no time to stop and stare.
Stand with me, my brother.
Together we will fight, he cannot withstand our own might.
We are stronger than before.
We'll bring this fucker down, we'll burn his face right to the ground.
A leader we see as a king to all men, with the power to end this pain and
Torture.
With the hand of god he could set them free but instead of giving hope he brings death and despair.
You lay me down to rest with another bullet in my chest.
Their judgement will pass swift and sure.
In the depths of despair a new salvation is rising.
There is no time to stop and stare.
Stand with me, my brother.
Together we will fight, he cannot withstand our own might.
We are stronger than before.
We'll bring this fucker down, we'll burn his face right to the ground.
Hope can save us all and hope can make us fall.
Hope can save us all but hope can make us fall.
Hope can save us all
Hope can make us fall.
Hope can save us all
Verse 1
Innocent of the charge
Spotless lamb his guilt was ours
Life force wanes God's chosen one
Flesh stripped away
World's sin will lay on God's true son
Chorus
Salvation He gave His life away
Redemption He's risen from the grave
Verse 2
Human clay Son of man
Death to life The Master's plan
Just believe confess today
In the one conceived by God
He's the only way to
Chorus
Salvation
He gave his life away
Redemption
Ready, I am ready, breathe salvation
Lord we hear your prayer, bring forth revival
Rise, oh ancient one, breathe salvation
We failed by the hands of man
And laid claim to idols
How selfish are we in the eyes of God
You reject truth and lay claim to idols
Fearing your demise, breathe salvation
To those of you who hide behind your sorrows
And cower in your time of need
We must prepare our hearts for the demise of a nation
Which lies in the palm of our hands
Heed the warnings, focus not on what's seen
And stand above the weakness
For all who know Him stand to gain eternity
Our hearts yearn for Your return
Our hearts yearn for Your return
Don't hide behind your weakness
Don't hide behind your weakness
Hear our cry, fill our hearts, Salvation
Send Your rain, cover us in honor, we honor You
head down and daylight fades to black
moving forward but can't help looking back
and we were certain that nothing would ever change
behind the curtain, we fell behind, to never be the same
(chorus)
salvation, this is goodbye my darling
the memory that will not leave has stayed past its welcome
i will remember you but, you say i'm lost it's true and
surrender me and take this crown of thorns that i've become
a new year, we better make this last
a sympathetic ear, is all that i will ask
it's all a new game that no one seems to win
and with a new name, to break these chains, free me from my sins
salvation, this is goodbye my darling
the memory that will not leave has stayed past its welcome
i will remember you but, you say i'm lost it's true and
surrender me and take this crown of thorns that i've become
salvation, this is goodbye my darling
the memory that will not leave has stayed past its welcome
i will remember you but, you say i'm lost it's true and
If ever you are walkin' down the lonely street
No one to lean on
No one to help you on
Cars and buildings so high
Disparity so wide
The only dreams we can see
Are the ones on the t.v.
If you need somebody,
If you need,
If you grieve,
I'm your sole salvation.
The city is on fire
Can't you see these streets emptied in ashes, witless
made afraid
made expatriots
made youth of idle science and unbelief
so far from my brother
Cold, lashing rain against my face,
the door behind is shut now
Thoughts - spinning around inside my head
What's my destination?
Rushing down the streets
Blinding lights confuse me
I stop and look around, but I cannot find you
If hope had a name, could it be yours
Could you help me to trust in this world,
my salvation, my salvation, my salvation,
help me out of this!
We tried to reach up for the stars
I think that we lost ground then
You always were the one to glue
Our broken wings
And now I understand nothing lasts forever
Guess we missed that train, will there be another one?
My sight is blurred by rain and tears
Stay stay, you born to be a slave
Run run, you can not get away
Hide hide, there is no place to lay
Obey... Is the last word I say
You ask for salvation
There is no intention
Salvation, Salvation
Scream scream, your voice starts to break
Breathe breathe, there is no air to take
Kneel kneel, you can't lift this weight
Die... Do it for your sake
You ask for salvation
There is no intention
Salvation, SalvationStay stay, you born to be a slave
Run run, you can not get away
Hide hide, there is no place to lay
Obey... Is the last word I say
You ask for salvation
There is no intention
Salvation, Salvation
Scream scream, your voice starts to break
Breathe breathe, there is no air to take
Kneel kneel, you can't lift this weight
Die... Do it for your sake
You ask for salvation
There is no intention
ALL I KNOW IT'S NOT TOO LATE
IT MAKES NO SENSE TO LOSE MY FAITH
I GOT TO GO ON, I GOT TO GO ON
I JUST KNOW THAT I CAN'T WAIT
I GOT NO TIME TO HESITATE
I GOT TO GO ON, I GOT TO GO ON
HERE I CAN FIND MY SALVATION
ALL I WANNA DO IS OPEN UP MY EYES
I DON'T SEARCH FOR TENSION
HERE I CAN I FIND MY REDEMPTION
GOOD OLD TIMES ARE BLINDING ME
BUT THERE'S NO PLACE FOR HISTORY
I GOT TO GO ON, I GOT TO GO ON
HOPE IS ALL WHAT I CAN SEE
THIS WORLD IS WRAPPED IN MISERY
Look at what we've to done to our world
Rape and pillage her like criminals
We must change the wave of destruction
Or lose the glory of evolution
Salvation grows before your outstretched hands
We must return them to our holy land
And it will become Holy again
Reunite the Mother, Daughter, and Sun
This trinity will make us at One
Free our minds to see the holy path
You make me see the light
Fulfill my needs, showing me my dirty deeds
The clouds are gone, giving me a reason to carry on
Now it all makes sense
In my mind, in my blood, I know your name
Giving me a chance
To get back in the game
To get back in the game
When you're not around
My life has no meaning, like I'm on deadly ground
You leave me empty inside, makes me wanna hide
Seeking you night and day, please won't you stay
In my mind, in my blood, I know your name
Giving me a chance
To get back in the game
To get back in the game
I need your salvation
Like I'm on vacation
Once again set me free
From all that's reality
SET ME FREE!
If I should fall from grace with God
He thinks that I'm blind and I never will see
If I should fall from grace with God
Well he naver gave a fuck about me
If I should fall from grace with God
And everything about me is a goddamned lie
If I should fall from grace with God
I'll say a little prayer before I die
For my salvation
What have I got to be?
For my salvation
It never meant much to me
If I should fall from grace with God
I know that I never will be redeemed
If I should fall from grace with God
'Cause I know it doesn't matter what I believe
If I should fall from grace with God
And everything about me is so goddamned wrong
If I should fall from grace with God
A call yells through the dark winter night, a burning desire.
Just one step and your home is in sight, a gently glowing fire.
With your smile the rising sun s breaking through, it s palming your face.
Since your return a golden light surrounds you, it lights up to the haze.
What is your secret? What did you find outside?
Your eyes glow with a neoshine. The exalted mien on your bright face is divine.
On your way you were searching for the lore. Always tried to find the core.
From the sky to the abyss of the sea, beyond the sun you have tried to find the key.
Far away, behind the frontiers of our mind, you found salvation for mankind.
Since a while fields of doubt are afloat. Distrust and betrayal.
Now you walk on a long empty road. They force you to fail.
You tried to enlighten our day, a selfless redeemer.
We re not prepared to follow you on your way, the way of our Creator.
What is your secret? What did you find outside?
Your eyes glow with a neoshine. The exalted mien on your bright face is divine.
On your way you were searching for the lore. Always tried to find the core.
From the sky to the abyss of the sea, beyond the sun you have tried to find the key.
Far away, behind the frontiers of our mind, you found salvation...
What is your secret? What did you find outside?
Your eyes glow with a neoshine. The exalted mien on your bright face is divine.
On your way you were searching for the lore. Always tried to find the core.
From the sky to the abyss of the sea, beyond the sun you have tried to find the key.
Far away, behind the frontiers of our mind, you found salvation for mankind.
Your eyes glow with a neoshine. The exalted mien on your bright face is divine.
On your way you were searching for the lore. Always tried to find the core.
From the sky to the abyss of the sea, beyond the sun you have tried to find the key.
Salvation
Please free our body, mind and soul
Salvation
Is what we are longing for
I hear them screaming for salvation
Our sinful bodies have to be destroyed
We will create a divine new nation
The old world order has to be destroyed
I will be your leader will you follow me
Yes we will
To the land where everyone will be free
We'll be free
Salvation
Please free our body, mind and soul
Salvation
Is what we are longing for
Through me they'll come to revelation
We have to free our captured souls
I'm the one who'll guide them to liberation
The eternal truth shall be our highest goal
In the moment of pain will you hold my hand
Yes we will
I will lead you to the promised land
The promised land
Salvation
Please free our body, mind and soul
Salvation
So it begins the destruction of your mind
Defending your de3viant lifeline
Cowering from the bloodbath you create
Self-mutilation there's no point of your state
You think you found the god
That will save you from yourself
Sedating from a mad world surrounding you
Poisoning your body releases the bitter pain
Function without it there is no way
To remorse will bring it all back again
Only death can save you from yourself
As you awake your searching for your
Salvation...
There's no one left to guide you
Salvation...
There's no one left to find you
They think you're sick, only way to hold on to sanity
Fill your veins up to numb your tortured vanity
Hopeless cause no one could ever reach you
Repeating the damage cause all they want is to fix you
You've fallen into dreams you've never seen before
Horror of reality is brief before you're comatose
Salvation...
There's no one left to guide you
Salvation...
You are the avalanche
One world away
My make believing
While I'm wide awake
Just a trick of light
To bring me back around again
Those wild eyes
A psychedelic silhouette
I never meant to fall for you but I
Was buried underneath and
All that I could see was white
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
You are the snowstorm
I'm purified
The darkest fairytale
In the dead of night
Let the band play out
As I'm making my way home again
Glorious we transcend
Into a psychedelic silhouette
I never meant to fall for you but I
Was buried underneath and
All that I could see was white
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
My, my
My salvation
