As I wait for atonement
Trapped in the heat of the moment
Feelin like I can't control it
As I wait for atonement
Trapped in the heat of the moment
Uh-huh, feelin the steam from the cauldron
With tension runnin deep as the ocean
Many are called, but so few are chosen
As I go through the motions, of medication uppin my dosage
Bangin Earth, Wind & Fire "Devotion" as I admire the focus
Takin the city with a grain of salt
Where they tastin foul, chase it down, with the latest malt - liquor
Roll and hit it, knife did it, hope you got some smarts wit'chu
Hope you got some heart it ain't no stoppin when it start - nigga
Feel somethin bigger got a hold on me
And I ain't trippin not a Bobby Brown, lippin with my nose runnin
Basically I had two, options I just chose one
And then got ghost, like my picture was on a most wanted
Coast to coast, from L.A. to Chicago
Now I'm faced, with the weight of survival, plus the taste
From the way I been lied to while the preacherman spittin his gospel

[Intro / Chorus: Jack Davey - singing]
As I wait for atonement
Trapped in the heat of the moment
Feelin like I can't control it
As I wait for atonement
Trapped in the heat of the moment
[Black Thought]
Uh-huh, feelin the steam from the cauldron
With tension runnin deep as the ocean
Many are called, but so few are chosen
As I go through the motions, of medication uppin my dosage
Bangin Earth, Wind & Fire "Devotion" as I admire the focus
Takin the city with a grain of salt
Where they tastin foul, chase it down, with the latest malt - liquor
Roll and hit it, knife did it, hope you got some smarts wit'chu
Hope you got some heart it ain't no stoppin when it start - nigga
Feel somethin bigger got a hold on me
And I ain't trippin not a Bobby Brown, lippin with my nose runnin
Basically I had two, options I just chose one
And then got ghost, like my picture was on a most wanted
Coast to coast, from L.A. to Chicago
Now I'm faced, with the weight of survival, plus the taste
From the way I been lied to while the preacherman spittin his gospel
I can win if I try to
[Chorus]

Come on, come on
Kill the rats in the gutter
Come on, come on
Sings the voice in the choir
Come on, come on
Bring your father and your mother
Come on, come on
Sing it higher and higher
Shake the clammy hand
Repeat the 23rd psalm
Make you understand
Where it was you went wrong
Voices from tapes
Shouting with twisted tongues
Emotional rape
Hell fire scorched lungs
Come on, come on
Pay close attention to this
Come on, come on
Let me give you something good to eat
Come on, come on
Bite down hard till it sticks between your teeth
Come on, come on
Glory, glory we've killed the beast
Blinded by glittery diamonds
Resting on crooked fingers
Shaded eyes they are the ones
Who'll lead you to your deliverance
From the figure of doom
Force you to understand
Lock you in a room
With a holy roller and a one man band
Come on, come on
Kill the rats in the gutter
Come on, come on
Sings the voice in the choir
Come on, come on
Bring your father and your mother
Come on, come on
Sing it higher and higher
Shake the clammy hand
Repeat the 23rd psalm
Make you understand
Where it was you went wrong
Voices from tapes
Shouting with twisted tongues
Emotional rape
Hell fire scorched lungs
Blinded by glittery diamonds
Resting on crooked fingers
Shaded eyes they are the ones
Who'll lead you to your deliverance
From the figure of doom
Force you to understand
Lock you in a room
With a holy roller and a one man band
Come on, come on
Kill the rats in the gutter
Come on, come on
Sings the voice in the choir
Come on, come on, come on
Bring your father and your mother
Come on, come on, come on
Sing it higher and higher
Come on, come on, come on
Pay close attention to this
Come on, come on
Let me give you something good to eat
Come on, come on
Bite down hard till it sticks between your teeth
Come on, come on

Cleared the fog that was veiled around me
And blurred my sights
Suddenly, I'm no longer aching
To honor my plights
Rising moon and my skin is peeling
Past undone
Suddenly, I can't justify

Humanity gave place to death's origin
All unrighteous, none without sin
Atonement, atonement
Sin gives in return to death, God bestows reconciliation
From death Christ arose, believe and announce salvation
Atonement, atonement
Declared righteous to any that proclaim
Invoking Christ, never, never to see shame

It will be hard, my love
It will be hard but it can be done
My kisses will put out
The forest fire I started
I will not let, I will not let
You get further from me
You must fight for me
Oh, it was a funny feeling
To be wanted
So, it was a funny feeling
We only ever notice
We only ever notice
When it seems like all is lost
You know it meant nothing to you
Remember the good times
Remember me sleeping by your side
Remember the feeling
That you were safe in my arms
I still see sons in you
My sons of sons in your eyes
This love's not over
This love's not over
Oh, it was a funny feeling...
And we can make a raft from all the dead trees
And set sail for better times
To a time when this love was not poisoned
I was kind and I was kind
And we can make a raft from all the dead trees
And set sail for better times
To a time when this love was not poisoned
I was kind and I was kind
(Atonement)
Oh, it was a funny feeling...
(This is my atonement)
It will be hard, my love

Tragedy, (we) could not anticipate
The loss that was our life
Bleeding me, you drain the blood of friendship
Replace the blood with lies
I hope it serves you well
Fall, I'm crashing to the pavement
Your innocence betraying
You set me up to watch me fall
Incomplete, destroyed what was left
Inside this shell of a man
Vacancy, the emptiness I carry
All devoid inside
I hope it serves you well
Fall, I'm crashing to the pavement
Your innocence betraying
You set me up to watch me fall
Try, to hold onto that moment
Your sin's without atonement

there is nothing in this world that is new
what is has been and what was will be
what do i work for why do i toil
what can man change
there is nothing new under the sun
Lord deliver us from this world
for the things it offers mean nothing to me
this is not my prayer this is my plea
requesting your guidance
when it seems i've turned my back
you encourage me just the same
without remembrace of my acts you take it all
when it seems i've turned away
without regard for you
your spirit brings me back
it brings me back
to you i answer to you alone
for there is nothing else
before you i stand
to do your work
manifest yourself in me

False prophets preach to you about what will be.
Send all your money they beg and plead.
Raise your hands to the sky, pray with me.
Obscene thoughts behind your yes will be your demise
Now you just set there and cry
Sins that you can not deny
Politics and money, all that you see.
Use certain people, you watch them bleed.
Rule with an iron fist, you're the king.
Lie cheat and steal for your own needs.
How do you smile when you lie?
Things that you learned in your life.
Power praise, take away, feed the vain, to your brain
Sinful shame, play your games, hell awaits, feed the flames
Live fast and die young, all that you crave.
Rather feel the rush of lust and be brave.
No remorse for yourself or the ones you know.
It's caught up with you, you die alone.
Where do you go when you die?

Torn apart by betrayal
The truth is unbearable
A strong conviction
Impossible to forget
Lost in desperation
Only hope remaining
A faint misunderstanding
With a pinch of jealousy
The kind of an incident
No-one would ever wish to happen
An unexpected act
Had consequences near and far
Shattered a life
That was to shine like a star
Betrayed and innocent
He fought with the undying hope
Trying to get his life back
The way you walked
The way you looked
Your faint pressence -
A delicate smile
I'll never see again
Moments of glory
Just ripples in my mind
Memories of the past
Vanished to the last
A lifelong remorse
A never-ending atonement

Disregard the signs, they're everywhere
Look around but no one seems to care
They're burning, they're starving, exploited, still
screaming
Nothing else, no one escape's from here
Forced to live each day in constant fear
Placated, frustrated, all this help is overrated
It starts to change from light to dark
This is turning the world inside out
Battle's tearing me apart
Slowly twisting fear and your own doubt
Frozen now and losing everything
Always looking for another way
Never knowing what this wave will bring
Might not live to see another day
Torn from their homes still innocent
Made to fight and die for government
Death for truth, wasted youth, can't resist, theres no
Hoped to live our last days in peace
Buried now for cash flow increase
They placed bets, they planed this, your life was just
for profit
It starts to change from light to dark
This is turning the world inside out
Battle's tearing me apart
Slowly twisting fear and your own doubt
Frozen now and losing everything
Always looking for another way
Never knowing what this wave will bring
Might not live to see another day
It starts to change from light to dark
This is turning the world inside out
Battle's tearing me apart
Slowly twisting fear and your own doubt
Frozen now and losing everything
Always looking for another way
Never knowing what this wave will bring

You are such a hypocrite, so Im leavin for a bit
Because I am blessed with soul, something you would never know
When youre this close, it gets hot before its cold
And i will never know youre gone
Whatevers possible becomes impossible
Woah
This is atonement
Youre the painting
Youre the pain that I feel
Follow the trail with some bad politics
If they never know Im gone, they will never notice it
You looked so tame, I saw you in the rearview mirror
You looked so challenged when I caught up, and this is what I do
Sometimes you still think I am crazy when Im sane
And you will never know Im gone
Dont ever get too close, cause im not good up close
Woah
This is atonement
Youre the painting
Youre the pain that I feel
Follow the trail with some bad politics
If they never know Im gone, they will never notice it
No, dont get upset, cause you never played fair
Please, just remember me when I am not around
And I cant forget her lips, so red
Go sit back down, cause I cant go back until we just finish
And they will never know were gone
The best has yet to come
The best has yet to come
Woah
This is atonement
Youre the painting
Youre the pain that I feel
Follow the trail with some bad politics
If they never know Im gone, they will never notice it
No, dont get upset, cause you never played fair
Please, just remember me when I am not around for the taking

In this life, I am a prisoner to my selfish ways
Desires of the flesh waging a war
Two masters fighting for the throne, of my heart
Oh God when you look at me, do You feel I'm being honest?
Or am i just a coward, giving in to all that is offered?
Rescue me, what a wretched man I am.
Pull me from this body, break the chains and set me free
From this place of desolation, with a hand of redemption
Pull me up and pull me out. Save me from myself
this is where i end and grace begins
this is where i end You begin.

This world to me means nothing
I'm a shadow, you're transparent
I traveled here unseen
I will not forget your face when I return
Casting a curse on the world
From the hate I created
My tongue begins to scald
My presence will test our fate
Becoming so unknown
I found out you're the reason that I dwell
I will reap what you sew
I will not return until you feel what I felt
Searching, for these answers
These memories bind me
And I can't seem to let them go
Your face, is a reminder
Of the time that I was able to breathe
I have never been a fighter but I'll fight this
I'll fight this until I am free
Searching, for these answers
These memories bind me
And I can't seem to let them go
I'd be better off just to let it go,
Act like it never happened
But I can't seem to let it go
Wipe the blood from your fucking face and fight!
