What a fool I'm, what a helpless soul
Why I betray him, they are on patrol
What can I do to solve my consciences
It seems that I have to carry the consequences
I'm sitting here, my life is past
I'm wasted my time to heal mankind
I'm waiting here for the final court
I'm knowing now my time is short
Through iron bars I see the cross
They built it upon the hill
They're sharpen the nails to pierce my hands
They plait the crown of thorns
Father tell me what went wrong
My whole life my faith was strong
Father tell me why should I die
This screaming mob yells crucify
My curse comes true I have to die
Why I am crucified
The walls around me cold and grey
Cramp my soul, nothing more to say
I gave my life for the human brood
But they've payed me in blood
With open eyes I confront my fate
I feel no fear, I fell no hate
My death should be a testament
With that my light always shines
Father tell me what went wrong
My whole life my faith was strong
Father tell me why should I die
This screaming mob yells crucify
My curse comes true I have to die
Why I am crucified
Father tell me what went wrong
My whole life my faith was strong
Father tell me why should I die
This screaming mob yells crucify
My curse comes true I have to die
Why I am crucified
Chain him jail him judge and crucify find him bind him nail him crucify
Raised boy the virgin is pure and good father to the race
Sinful in sodom with cold blind luster praying to the golden calf
Walking the land with twelve good men that follow talking the hand of one whose blind
Curing the lame causing mutes to speak miracles prevail to the open mind
Chain him jail him judge and crucify find him bind him nail him crucify
Saved for forty days and nights he roamed the desert sand
No food to nourish only faith temptations close at hand
Evil abounds in every footstep that he takes in the sand he must stay true
All this in vain because he'll die for sure saving the frame of all that's good
Life is like a slot machine
Nothing's guaranteed
You might give your soul away
To cut yourself a deal
I really hate uncertainty
Will I win or lose
Ain't nothing but a game
Going insane - roll the dice again
Crucified - deep inside
I'm feeling crucified
Life is like a lottery
Can I ever win
Will it be another one
Or me - who's cashing in
Ain't nothing but a game
Going insane - roll the dice again
Crucified - deep inside
Unaware and all alone
his faith is god and he has none
beaten down, torn apart, bleeding hands
(chorus):
Was I the first to be crucified
king of fools or king of pride
I'll be the next to be crucified
Salvation is clawing at my back
temptation is tearing through the cracks
frustration is always bringing me back
(chorus)
Cast a light left and right
searching high and low
just to find my place
ere and dale, no avail
it's a race to the death
All your might
All your pain
All your tears
When I'm right before you
All you've gained
All my sins
All my fault
All my fear
Swelling up inside me
All is lost
You changed the world forever
Just with your heart of gold
You changed the world forever
Now you've been bought and sold
Let me be crucified
On you
Let me be tantalised
By you
Open up your spirit
And reveal yourself anew
Let me be crucified
On you
All your sweat
All your blood
All your grief
When I'm right before you
Where is god?
All my doubt
All my will
All my lust
Swelling up inside me
All I feel
You changed the world forever
Just with your heart of gold
You changed the world forever
Now you've been bought and sold
Let me be crucified
On you
Let me be tantalised
By you
Open up your spirit
And reveal yourself anew
Let me be crucified
On you
Let me be crucified
On you
Let me be tantalised
By you
Open up your spirit
And reveal yourself anew
Let me be crucified
You have changed, or were you always the same?
I give you up, it's time to stop
Nothing moves at all, it's like a sudden death
All these forgotten years are never coming back
The damage is done, it's all over now
So don't complain, don't mention it again
Is it you or is it me, who can't see?
It's way above our heads, we're up a tree
There's too much confusion, you leave me no choice
If I wanted anything from you
I would put a halt to it all
The path you chose is full of thorns
A one way street where no one goes
So now you crucify me, but why should I do the same?
For I promised nothing, it's all in vain
You have too much illusions, you want to be in control
And if I promised you anything in life is to keep an open
mind to it all
Say what you want of me and I say what I want of you
I won't leave it up to anything
So much pain to ease my simple mind
No hope - I've been crucified
And no one seems to care
(Don't you feel like a bitch)
(Don't promise shit you'll never be)
(Don't you feel like a bitch)
(Don't promise shit you'll never be)
The first time I knew you lied
I ended up crucified
My hate you wear for my cross you bear
It's for me I swear
What's with you
You leech off my desire
Faceless name
So untrue you're wasting away
(Don't you feel like a,)
(Don't you feel like a,)
(Don't you feel like a shit)
They ask why do we dress this way
Live for now--Don't understand today
See the kids--But don't hear what they say
Close your eyes and look the other way
Say the end justifies the means
Gonna lock us up and throw away the keys
Crucified--Crucified for your sins
Crucified--Crucified for your sins
They don't know our feelings--only desperate cries
They see reflections through distorted eyes
We don't care because it breaks their views
Got to learn to fight to live
Before they grind us under heel
We're the targets so easy to find
And we're the ones that won't stay in line
I find myself nailed to a cross
For something that I didn't do
It's your fault you've ruined our lives
And we're the ones you crucify
You're the ones who commit the crimes
When others left before,
I could bear to turn away,
Now that it's come to this,
Is there nothing left to say?
I've never known before,
Such exquisite suffering,
As I watched you walk away,
I gave into panicking,
I can't believe that,
This is really happening,
Am I really lost again?
Desperation drives me insane,
I will focus all the pain,
Right into your heart,
Till it makes you blind,
Till the faces of your former world,
Have fallen from your sight,
Till you're mine,
Until the voice of doubt no longer,
Dominates your mind,
I'm crucified,
Cold and unwhole again,
Crying out and questioning,
Will I ever love again?
What's the point of anything?
It takes a toll again,
This is where the fun begins,
Visions haunt me through the night,
Now I'm dying for your sins,
I can't believe that,
If you look me in the face,
You can say there's nothing left,
How the silence drives me insane,
I will focus all my pain,
Right into your heart,
Till it makes you blind,
Till the faces of your former world,
Have fallen from your sight,
Till you're mine,
Until the voice of doubt no longer,
Dominates your mind,
I'm crucified,
I cannot feel anything,
Anger I've been harboring,
You've nailed me to the cross,
Upon it I will remain,
I can't feel anything,
Rage inside is festering,
You've nailed me to the cross,
Upon it I will remain,
I will focus all my pain,
Right into your heart,
Till it makes you blind,
Till the faces of your former world,
Have fallen from your sight,
Till you're mine,
Until the voice of doubt no longer,
Dominates your mind,
I'm crucified,
Till it makes you blind,
Till the faces of your former world,
Have fallen from your sight,
Till you're mine,
Until the voice of doubt no longer,
Dominates your mind,
Chorus: He died for me (echoed) So I could live for Him (echoed). He gave His life for me (echoed) So I could give mine to Him. He died for me (echoed) So I could live for Him (echoed).
He became like me (echoed) So I could become like Him. Chat Chorus: And so I cry and so Lord Jesus He died and in the same way I have been crucified. Take up your cross and follow Him as He said to His children "Live in no more sin" (John 5: 14). 2x. It's by faith through which you've been saved, and according to the mercy the Father did give. Just like the faith of one mustard seed (Matt. 17: 20) the smallest in size but it becomes the biggest weed. It's by faith through His grace (Eph. 2: 5) that put you in this place of righteousness that you cannot erase (Rom. 11: 29). So I've Been justified, & sanctified, I am glorified with the Spirit inside. So do not bother filling up yourself with pride as a humble lion you must be crucified. Chorus. He was born so He could- die, died so we might- live. We lift His name on- high pure love that we give. Chat Chorus. (Galatians 2: 20-21) I've been crucified with Christ for eternity, it's I that no longer live but Christ that lives in me. The live that I live (in the body) I live by faith (in the Son of Yahweh) He who loves me an He gave Himself for me, I do not set aside the grace of God (can't you see?) For if gained through the law righteousness could be-then Jesus Christ He died for nothing. Chorus & Chat Chorus. So don't big up your music, don't big up your fame (Matt. 23: 12). You must come refuse, it don't big up your name. Don't big up your status don't big up your wealth, I cry don't big up anything just die to yourself. You must first count up the cost (Luke 14: 28) then you take up the cross 2x (Luke 9: 23) and follow Him. 4x. Hallelujah! Amen, Praise Him. (Repeat). I have redemption, and propitiation, election, and pure substitution adoption, and reconciliation, confession, and regeneration, expiation, and joy, enough conviction, and strength over temptation, I have discipleship and fellowship, security for surety in this life (relationship) with God.
They ask why we dress this way
Live for now, stand today
See the kids but don't hear what they say
Close your eyes and look the other way
You say the end justifies the means
They'll lock us up throw away the keys
CRUCIFIED, CRUCIFIED FOR .YOUR SINS (2x)
They don't know our feelings
Only our desperate cries
They seek protection through distorted eyes
Can't tell the truth from their lies
We've got to learn to fight to live
Before they grind us under hell
We're the targets so easy to find
We're the ones that won't stay in line
I find myself nailed to a cross
For something that I didn't do
It's your fault you've ruined our lives
But we're the ones you crucify
You're the ones who commit the crimes
You have changed, or were you always the same?
I give you up, it's time to stop
Nothing moves at all, it's like a sudden death
All these forgotten years are never coming back
The damage is done, it's all over now
So don't complain, don't mention it again
Is it you or is it me, who can't see?
It's way above our heads, we're up a tree
There's too much confusion, you leave me no choice
If I wanted anything from you
I would put a halt to it all
The path you chose is full of thorns
A one way street where no one goes
So now you crucify me, but why should I do the same?
For I promised nothing, it's all in vain
You have too much illusions, you want to be in control
And if I promised you anything in life is to keep an open mind to it all
Say what you want of me and I say what I want of you
I won't leave it up to anything
Maybe I am cruel to be kind, kind
Like blood that doesn't wash
Your neck up on a block
Events wont bring a stop
It's up against the clock
And with no fence to sit
Up to your neck in it
The scales are forever tipped
To end under the whip
Either way you are crucified
The left and to the right
Redemption out of sight
A tunnel without light
A long drop from a height
Whatever to ensure
You don't know what to do
Dismiss catholic guilt
Look down at your hands
At the stake your about to drive
Feel the tears on your cheeks
Empty needle in your mind
Look into your blood red sky
Where your feeling fly so high
Every once in a while friend
Everyone needs a helping hand
Don't crucify me
I'm not ready to die just yet
I've got something to say, to see, to be
Crucified
Theive me one last chance
To prove what I can
Not made of brittle glass
I'm crucified
Crucified like my savior
Saintlike behavior
A lifetime I prayed
I'm crucified
For the holy dimension
Godlike ascension
Heavens away
I've seen the deepest darkness
And wrestled with gods
Ride the noble harness
Raining cats and dogs
I stand before my maker
Like Moses on the hill
My Guinness record baker
I abide your will
The first of reciters
I saw eternal light
Best of vocal fighters
Beyond human sight
Where thorns are a teaser
I've played a double jeux
Yherushalaim at easter
I cry I pray mon dieu
I cry I pray mon dieu
I'm crucified
Crucified like my savior
Saintlike behavior
A lifetime I prayed
I'm crucified
For the holy dimension
Godlike ascension
Heavens away
Prophets I've been reading
Stories I've been told
Before I end my breathing
I travel in the soul
Where thorns are a teaser
I've played a double jeux
Yherushalaim at easter
I cry I pray mon dieu
I cry I pray mon dieu
I cry I pray mon dieu
Adieu mon dieu
I'm crucified
Crucified like my savior
Saintlike behavior
A lifetime I prayed
I'm crucified
For the holy dimension
Godlike ascension
Heavens away
I'm crucified
Crucified like my savior
Saintlike behavior
A lifetime I prayed
I'm crucified
For the holy dimension
Godlike ascension
Everybody knows, every kind of fool
I'm just one that sees the world with open eyes
the countless lies, the truth denied,
which ever way the wind blows
and we're crucified - crucified
on the cross of innuendo
and we're shaking the faith of the fools,
everyone's forsaking and breaking the rules.
Is there nothing sacred - we're naked,
in fear of what we do, they're watching you.
Everything we say and everything we do
questions our morality and judges us
for who we are and how bizarre,
we're all freaks in this sideshow
and we're crucified - crucified
on the cross of innuendo
and we're shaking the faith of the fools,
everyone's forsaking and breaking the rules.
Is there nothing sacred - we're naked,
in fear of what we do, they're watching you.
We're hypnotized an patronized
which ever way the wind blows
and we're crucified - crucified
on the cross of innuendo
and we're shaking and breaking the rules,
everyone's forsaking the faith of the fools
can't you see we're chasing the dreams of the fools
don't you know they're faking and breaking the rules
the countless lies
which ever way the wind blows
and we're crucified - crucified
on the cross of innuendo
and we're shaking the faith of the fools
everyone's forsaking and breaking the rules.
Is there nothing sacred - we're naked,
in fear of what we do, they're watching you.
Here in this moment
I choose to believe
To call on the invisible
As if it could be seen
Here in this moment
I am unafraid
To take part in His suffering
And be called by Jesus name
And I stand unashamed
I know I've been crucified with Christ
With all my heart, my soul, my might
I lift up my hands, lay down my life
I'm crucified with Christ
Here in this moment
I lay down my life
And still I know I am in this world
A living sacrifice
Here in this moment
I count all gain as loss
Take all my pride and sinfulness
And nail it to the cross
Who is this King
This King of Glory
Who was and is and who will be
Savior of man, if I die with Him
Every time I wear this shirt I think of you
All the dreams I have are always dreamt in blue
Every place I find myself I've been there with you
Abandoned loneliness, I ask why, why, why?
Why did you crucify me?
Strung up for your love
Was I so blind to see?
Pushed aside, sterilized, crucified
Looking back I see my faults, was I so wrong
To lock you up inside my arms? I thought I was being strong
Now I see you built the walls that keep me in
You turned my world around, and still I cry, cry, cry
Why did you crucify me?
Strung up for your love
Was I so blind to see?
Brutalized, immortalized, crucified
Abandoned loneliness
You turned my world around
Words were never said
Still I cry, cry, why?
Why did you crucify me?
Strung up for your love
Was I so blind to see?
Pushed aside, sterilized, crucified me
Strung up on your love
So blind to see?
Brutalized, immortalized
You're simply pushed aside and sterilized
Crucified me
Crucified
Tied and nailed piece of flesh
Tormented new object
Incision, merciless
Scientific bloodshed
Christ pose looks grotesque
Martyrized, innocent
Novelty, dismemberment
Insensible and decadent
[Chorus]
Crucified - pay for our vanity
Crucified - urge our insanity
Crucified - die for humanity
Crucified
Deep cut into life
Scalpel, murder knife
Consciously reviled
Instrument of spite
No release, end delayed
Sadism the human way
Constant slow decay
Running red life slips away
[chorus]
Scapegoat bleeding thing
Provoked suffering
Senseless inhumane
Another life is spent in vain
Tied and nailed and ripped apart
Work is done, morbid art
Painful death, so absurd
Cries of pain were never heard
(chorus)
we are directed youth -- we know where we're going
when we were growing up - we saw the world
so screwed up - we refused to be a part,
we rebelled and hardened our hearts.
when we were growing up - we knew what was wrong
but had no right - so we lived for ourselves
until we found Jesus Christ
(chorus)
now that we have Christ - we're up here to tell you
you need what's right - what's good, what's peace
the only way is on your knees
if you do not accept - you will find how hell will be
I'm telling you now - it's the worst
it's the worst you'll ever see
Come a little closer with your
Thoughts of an insurrection,
A little black mark in the book of your life
Could bring a change of your affection
Got a one track mind, it's a sign of the times,
Find a whole new revelation,
Prime time, any time, pay the bailiff for your crime,
Don't lose your concentration
No, No, No, I don't want to be crucified
Got a heavy cross to bear
When there's salt in your lacerations,
At least when I die I can look 'em in the eye,
See them off to eternal damnation,
See the bloodstained curtains in the temple of love
Where the truth is a state of your mind,
Kneel down, kiss the ground,
Better never make a sound
How can they see when they're so damn blind?
Chorus:
Can you believe in something
Not fit for their consumption?
Hold on strong to the end
Use the force in the back of your mind
I can't accept what they say
I choose to go my own way
I don't want to be crucified
Flying high, sanctify, living a lie,
By the hand of intoxication,
Under attack, see the scars on my back,
Think it's time for a needed vacation.
No, No, No, I don't want to be crucified
hatred is the perfect word
for everything I think of you
you were conquered by my God
you, prince of darkness
the arrogant fool
if given the chance, and the strength
to do all that I wish to you
I'd shout with glee (!) show no mercy
and rip the filthy life from you
getting a grip on things
tightening our grip on things
satan has been beat
focus less on his power
and more on his defeat
I'd start by stabbing seven times
for every single lie you've said
for lust of eyes I'd pluck out yours
for lust of flesh I'd split your head
for loneliness I'd seal your ears
for bitterness I'd burn you
for capitol punishment of unborn innocents
I'd take the sword and run you through
for bigotry I'd paint you black
yellow, white, and red
for opression of my bretheren
I'd tie a noose around your neck
the verse, you know and heed
the words of God:
"vengeance is mine"
carnal christians
carnal minds
if you don't want to be
the carnal kind
keep our eyes on Jesus
and soon you'll find
you'll be leaving those
carnal ways behind
(chorus)
G-O-D
keep your eyes on God
G-O-D
and he won't steer you wrong
G-O-D
he'll show you the way
G-O-D
and you won't go astray
garbage in
garbage out
listen to those doubters
soon you'll be in doubt
keep your eyes on Jesus*
and take a stand*
don't treat your brain*
like a garbage can*
(chorus)
bible says you shouldn't
satan says you can
he'll do anything
just to ruin God's plan
repeat*
(chorus x2)
I have freedom
I have Jesus
you want freedom?
you need Jesus
america - land of free
america - show your freedom to me
look at us - I hate our little circles
look at us - we steer away from the troubled world
Jesus - gave us the chance to be free
Jesus - we killed him and nailed him to a tree
satisfied - with these tissue paper living lives
satisfied - your fine while everything goes right
but I don't want to be a part of that
I'm not into it, I see the waiting trap
I have Jesus I'm truly satisfied
because I know, for he died
the deficit, environment, a government corrupt
so many things to worry us and tangle our minds up
we know we're being taken, we know it all too well
we know that something must be done but there's more to tell
where are you going? what's your focus?
losing your reason? for a...lie
caught up in the cause, the fight, caught up in the roar
you know that your intentions are right in what you're fighting for
but in the midst, the heat of it all, don't forget your drive
we're hear to do the father's will our reason to survive
there's so much going on around us and we must be aware
it's important that they see our love and that we truly care
oure time for lying dormant while the world is so in need
in this time of need
this time of peril
this time when the helpless seek
when so many search for some light of hope
and they begin to consider this God of whom they've been told
the wolves come out to play
to deceive
and turn men's hearts away
under guise of sheep with such beautiful smiles
they appear to be of God, yet all the wile they...
lead them straight to hell
don't touch me...
you've got blood on your hands
time will come, you will see
you're over
playing on their need
the need to live
to live pure and free
you mix a little lies with a lot of truth
you bait their trust and then they follow you
you get them believing and following lies
then they see your deceit all in the name of Christ
they look into my eyes...they can't understand
when they hear you call me "brother" and see you shake my hand
they...
curse his name 'cause of you...
stealing their hope for peace
a fellowship of thieves
hands dipped in the blood of children
exposed while seeking peace
a fellowship of thieves
causing more destruction than those
who don't claim to believe
this fellowship of thieves
watch for the wolves, be wary
you went to church on sunday
you got your sunday school star
you act so secure
but you don't know who you are
you got drunk on friday late
drag God's name through the dirt
perfect example of
actions speaking louder than words
spit you out (x3) luke warm
spit you out (x3) halfway
spit you out (x3) give all
spit you out (x3) or nothing
christian girl wants a boyfriend
no more sitting on her hands
she settles for a moralist
what's happened to her stand?
I don't get it
what's the deal
this is the ultimate conformity
(chorus)
Jim Bakker's your excuse
you won't believe
(he's sinned. like you)
too big-headed to admit you failed
it's easier to cop-out
easier to bail
easier to be a lazy slob
as you turn your head and sluff it off
you build a wall around yourself
and put reality on a shelf
diehard - the last to go down
diehard - you're gonna stick around
diehard - refuse to believe
diehard - that God could be
I'm not trying to condemn
your life is yours
for you to live
but the gentle approach you denied
as you chose to believe the lies
face the facts: you're not in control
satan cast and you swallowed whole
believe in God and think for yourself
or believe the lies and rot in hell
so get down on your knees
then take his hand to get
on your feet
leave this life
don't shun the new
don't turn from what you know is true
cause it's the same old people
attitudes, and lives
you can choose to believe a lie
you can choose to live this life
there is blood on the street
and tears in their eyes
and life moves so fast
until you realize...it's gone
the world is a corpse
it hardens with time
and so harden the hearts
as they draw to the line
the fear that you feel
shows white on your face
though you mock death with words
you wonder is there a place...
where darkness there dwells
in the black pits of hell
is there truly the desolate place
the gnashing of teeth
the screaming beneath
stillness of pain, time, and space
where pain is your king
there are no living things
merely you and the fire you chose
hope has gone past
realization at last
this fate you chose as your own
death - drop your pride and fear
to death - no hiding here
death - Christ made a way
to death - before it's too late
death to death
now you can have right now you
must have faith in God and Son
you have failed all hopes you have impaled
can't you see the war has been won
no matter what you've done
he's the forgiving one place it at his feet
he'll take you in his arms
forever in his arms
Rode into Jerusalem
They threw palms at His feet
Came in on a beast of burden
Proving He was meek
Claimed Him as Messiah
Hosannah save us now
Thinking Him to wear
A royal Jewish crown
I know they’ll crucify Me
Keeps runnin’ through My brain
I know they’ll crucify Me
Father, take My pain
Went into the garden
Blood dripping as He prayed
Not My will, but Thine be done Lord
Always knowing He’d be betrayed
They nailed Him to a cross
An earthquake marked His death
Rose up like He said
Victory’s won at last!
He knew they’d crucify Him
He had to bear the pain
Washed away my sins and yours
my life was in the dark
disgusted with the light
when I heard my sin
it made me want to fight
I hated those who loved him
yet they loved me back
I was in a corner
I ran but could not hide
crucified with Christ
dying to myself
giving up control
killing the old man
rejuvinate my soul
crucified with Christ
not my life
Christ lives in me
the life I live
I live for his glory
united
united by Christ
breaking down the walls that divide our ranks
colors, all cultures, styles and pride
all this judgement on appearance
and arrogance between it
means nothing next to what's inside
don't turn
don't turn your head away
this is a crucial moment
put away the labels and dissolve separations
children of God need no name or crowd
God is love, love is the perfect bond of unity
and that's what brotherhood is all about
don't turn
don't turn your head away
this is a crucial moment
hook... (evoorgenots)
I went for so long thinking only I counted
I was wrong I now admit
determined and serious straight-up deliberate
God gives us the message and we just deliver it
don't turn
don't turn your head away
you did it once
you did it twice
you've sinned again, and spit on Christ
you asked forgiveness the other day
same sin repeated, don't you get it?
you don't know how to repent
wearing grace thin, it's such a shame
no willpower, lack of loyalty
a new excuse, a dangerous game
repeated - you've sinned again
weakness - you mock God
mercy - your credit card
you can't fool God - God's not mocked
as the dog returns to its vomit
so the fool returns to his folly
will you learn from your mistakes?
will you turn from your sin?
you face the world and turn from God
that's your bag and it's so wrong
you don't know how to repent
forgiveness starts and sinning ends
when you're weak he is strong
stop excusing yourself for wrong
back to the cross
you face the world with no regard to God
get back to the cross
Sit at school - waste your time
You think that it's o.k.
Hit by a car - suicide
It happens every day,
Fellowship sweet fellowship
You keep it to yourself,
Slashing wrists - crying out,
People go to hell
(chorus)
You don't care
You say the blind can see,
You don't care, I call that Christian apathy
They need the life that
Only you can give,
Through the blood of Jesus Christ
Eternal life in him (his gift)
Jesus Christ is telling you
To reach out to all men,
The end is near, He's coming back so harvest
While you can,
Scared to start a brand
New life, you don't think
It’s cool,
The world's your friend
God is not, man don't be a fool!
you, you don't know
what it's like to be free
you, a slave to sin
just let him in
and then you'll see
you can be brand new
you know it's true
his love will reign
he, he shed his blood
for you and me
we caused his pain
(chorus)
Jesus blood is all you need
you, you silly fool
what will it take
to prove his love
they, they spit on him
they peirced his hands
he gave his life
you, you find your life
you gain the world
you lose your soul
lose your life to him
deny yourself
and then you'll win
(chorus)
Mr. preacher on the t.v. screen
tells me that he knows just what I need
he's "been there before...and back again"
but with that fancy suit I find it hard to believe
he says the Lord will be so faithful, that he'll protect
but only if I'm faithful with my monthly check
I've never sent him my money
probably never will
(oooo!) I guess that means I live
my life on the edge!?!!??
preacher (pope john 2nd chorus)
your time will come
you lead the church astray
for a steady income
you can bet
God won't forget
but if you'd like
I'd (gladly!) tie a millstone
around your neck (matt. 18:6)
his nothingness on a simple throne
(Christ mediates for God, and Christ alone!)
just another man in a ridiculous hat
held accountable for the seeds he's sown
cancel the tours and the material things
the people bowing to you and kissing your rings
guide them only to their knees
seeking forgiveness today
running fast
but running blind
idle time in a wasting scene
though you've looked
you've never found
peace amongst you, unity
for simple reasons you divide
you look without the eyes to see
you lack the bond to truly bind
Jesus Christ, the king of kings
so many speeches - empty words
show me...
of what you speak, what you dream
unity
I've got substance, you've got nothing
show me
something better than my God (you can't!)
unity
show me unity
punks and skins, fighting each other
brother cultures fighting on and on
step into the lgiht of forgiveness
and then by God stand and be strong
if you see a cancer, cut it out quickly
separate the wheat from the chalf
do not hesitate, if you'd only ask he'd show you the way
you'd see the possibility of peace to be made
fight! this is your chance
fight! you've got the gift, use it!
change! you know it's true
strength! it's there, take it!
now! it's there for you.
stop living in a dream world
of peace, love, and harmony (anarchy?...)
where everybody just decides
to finally get along
it's plain, it's simple, you've tried
everything else
The blind are dead
They don't see
They don't listen to reality
Walking in shadows
Which blind their sight
They live in darkness, without any light
Laugh at us, spit at us
When Jesus walked the earth
He suffered the same
The bible says we should be
Crucified with Christ
And in the end we recieve our gift
Eternal life
When you wake up in hell
Ask yourself
Was your image worth it?
Are you proud of yourself?
You had a chance to receive
To be a believer but
You turned your back on God
To be a crowd pleaser
You!
Walk around
Oh so, secure
But always in the end
It's just a stupid trip
You gotta keep that image
Gotta fit in
Playing up your image
It's an image of sin
Can't you see what I'm saying to you?
Jesus Christ has taken me
And made me new
I no longer have the shadows
Which blind my sight
I resolve
(to christians who are judgemental)
don't want us in your pulpit seats
you don't like the way we look or sing
but we'll just love you more and more
because that is what we're fighting for
(chorus)
you don't understand where we're coming from
we're just following God's only Son
(to non-christians)
laugh at us for our beliefs
open your eyes so you can see
without the spirit you can't understand
we're not a part of fleshly man
(chorus)
(to luke-warm people)
if you're halfway
get out of the way
we don't need you here or in our way
you know what's wrong
then fight for good
you know the truth
Spiritual starvation
That’s the way of the world
Of God’s true word
That’s what Satan wants
And that’s why he’s around
We’re in a war
And the enemy is sin
We’re in a war
And there’s only one way to win
We’re in a war
And if we ever hope to stay alive
Our only hope is Jesus
If forever stay alive
Eternal salvation
That’s the way of the Lord
That’s why Jesus died
And that’s why He rose from the ground
With His blood and His word
He’ll drag ol’ Satan down
Washed out
The things of earth will fall to decay
Washed out
There's nothing standing on the final day
Washed out (6x)
I'm found
I live my life serving Christ
I'm found
I've something after the pass of life
started off as little, but look,
how it's grown...
you were so carefree in your sin
now you reap the seeds you've sown
you thought you had control
but who's controlling who?
your life is like a vice
closing in on you
bottles then the needles
as you watch your loved ones die
you're slowly sliding down a pit
screaming as you slide...
you lie awake, at night it's damp
it's cold
you're looking back at the
seeds you've sown
it's hard to sleep when there's
fire in your head
what can you do?
when your life is hanging
by a thread
nightmares leave you screaming
so real, but who can tell?
nausea, the sickened state
your life's a living hell
swimming in your vomit
it's the same thing everyday
your life is just a cancer
that slowly eats away
lying on the floor
with your head between
your knees, realization hits
with crushing force
your world can't fill your needs
on that floor Christ appears
I've been here for
a million years
it's only been
the twinkling of an eye
this dark, this pain
it's so unbearing
fire consumes
the tears I cry
I never thought
of pain so drawn out
screams and gnashing
all surround me
over and over
I keep remembering
I must bear this
through eternity
(chorus)
this howl
I can't turn away
this howl
keeps droning through my mind
this howl
consumes my every thought and emotion
this howl
keeps droning on through time
I cannot bear
this isolation
where have all
of my friends gone?
this supposed to be
the best time of my life
my fate has shown me
I was wrong...
I hear his voice every second in time,
"depart from me you accursed one
I never knew you"
Jesus, please forgive me
I'm ready to accept you now
but how I know
you will not hear me
I had my chance
I turned it down
(chorus)
you're up in my face, spitting and screaming
your composure is gone, gone away
calling me "fool" the insults abounding
and you're shocked to find my mind hasn't changed
you say God's for the weak, if he exists
to punish man for the wrongs he has done
you're simply a hindrance to those who are seeking
but in the heat of your pride you have overlooked...
his love
how could you be so very wrong?
(can't stop thinking it's true...)
how could you miss it all along?
the sucker...was you
allow for that possibility
like you would expect from me
could the wrong one, could it be you?
is God not what you assume?
you say, "don't stereotype, don't generalize me, I alone represent myself."
but it's o.k. for you to do that to me?
could it be that you don't know me quite that well?
you live double-standard, the law of convenience
such as the right to freedom of speech
name any religion - you'll take the lecture
but you'll pull the plug once Jesus Christ is preached?
"it's o.k. to speak beliefs, as long as I agree
cencorship is wrong - but only if you censor me.
I'm open to the truth, accepting of change
but not if that means repentance because they're really not the same."
you've taken my God and attempted to turn him
into something you know he is not
(place one lie here and another one there
and then you've got a god with whom you can find fault)
but the fact still remains, and the flowers still fade
God is true and forever more
if you would open your heart and honstly seek
in these remaining days, let us not be tangled in
mankind's celebration of itself
rather, let us live as children of God
for what fellowship hath light and darkness
good with evil?
shall grace be as pearls to swine
or held higher than gold?
let them know the difference
keep your signs - hold your banners yourself
send no "latest cause" this way
need no factions, political distractions
keep them out of my face
spare the fashion codes and social pars
and the vanity of it all
to subscribe would be to sell-out
and to set up for a fall
can't you see the road you travel down
leads swiftly to your end
sold as slaves for a place to hide
a temporary defense
then he'll come, all will be lost
you'll be swept with the tide, your shelter of clay
he's calling, protection is here
your grip will not hold when your world's laid to waste
Lord, grant me the strength, to follow your path
to not go astray i, alone in myself
I'm feeling the pull, Lord, grant me the strength
once again breathing down my neck
the smell of the generous leach
the liberating hypocrite
come to save, to teach, to preach
to save me from my slavery
from a God who doesn't know what's best
look - keep your rebellion to yourself
you don't know me, my God, or the life I live
not a patriot, revolutionist
not a left or right wing voice
don't need a liberal or conservative
to tell me about freedom of choice
my freedom comes from God above
forgiveness beyond comprehension
stregth not found in earthly powers
mosh into the circling pit
slamming to a power fit
once you're in
you can't get out
fear is banished in a shout
fun is what you will find
when you have a peaceful mind
enter not with violent thoughts
take your violence elsewhere
into the circling pit
feel the power grip your mind
adrenaline is in your veins
rush the stage and dive
fall into the crowd below
end it with a final blow
fatigue is now an enemy
will the slamming ever slow?
the violence within - controlling your mind
Christ can relieve the pressure inside
no longer bound to ignorant thoughts
I think about the days gone by
And then I sit and wonder why
You died to sanctify my life
When I was darkness, You were light
Jesus Christ!
The world has let me down again
I am in need of a new friend
Jesus come and make me whole
Holy Spirit take control
Some of my friends around me say,
“There is no God, there is no way!”
But Jesus, yeah I know You’re true
You loved me first now I love You
You are the Reason, the only Reason
You are the Reason, the only Reason for my life
The world rejects Your perfect love
With clenched up fists they shout above
Synthetic lies, never the truth
Distorted theories never proved
They need to look upon Your word
No need for drugs, You are the cure
You cured me from this sickness Death
intro: isaiah 41:23 & 24
the roots deep of this wicked tree
they're reaching out seeking to change me
it's struggle enough not live for my "self"
gotta lift up God for he is deserving so well
all this "humanity" and the power it claims
has turned from God to pursure its own way
to do what God does through its own strength?
I see a storm coming - chaos this way
the lies, distorted truths
so many lies
surrounding you
you look to yourselves
to bring you deliverance from hell
to lift yourselves into the place of God
convince yourselves that you cannot be stopped
you'll stop yourselves
environmental, racial conscience so high
your claims are nothing when the fire has died
starting off with that strong p.m.a. (positive mental attitude)
your education's only partial and then you fade
to make a change you gotta lay down your pride
only God can make those changes inside
pride is a fire that burns with no name
from the very moment I heard your deceit and subtle lies
from the moment you shocked me silent I burned to question: why?
why? why do you insist, you persist in blasphemy of my Lord and God?
take your opinions and empty accusations home and rot
your world is so perverted
nausea grips my stomach...I think I'm gonna vomit
and to think I once took part in the narrowmindedness of a hardened heart
why?
why the insults to my Lord?
there is no point without support
blaming God for faults of men
you don't even understand
some feeble point or shock effect
who do you benefit?
you profit off another's pain
and bite the hand that seeks to aid lies
motive: ego...knowledge: who knows?
solution: zero...your goal: oh so vague
and the band "millions of dead"
whoever you are mumbling and grumbling about today
your music's fast and you're outspoken
but you have little or nothing to say
and the boys from south of heaven
who knock t.v. preachers with every other word
you come off so concerned and charge $20+ for a t-shirt
hypocrisy your breath holds
deception reeks thick and bold
you don't care about anyone but yourself
you couldn't care less if I rot in hell
me or anyone else.
why?
and the band named after the cow disease
so proud if you're without sin then go ahead
cast your two cents in and half the bands in the
berkley mag on the bandwagon of the insult circus
of all the wrongs you slag the rights and lose us to your purpose
if you're so wise then solve my troubles
instead you ask more (and more, and more, and...)
needless questions and my troubles double
give us something we can use
you serve only to confuse
why?
this song is meant to refer directly
to those who speak of God
Grind my teeth to keep myself from spitting
Spare you the first reply that comes to mind
Oh, I can't believe the grace
With which you speak your condescending lines
But can you look me in the eye?
You don't dare...
(chorus)
My eyes... sting from the salt and the blood, yeah
A lifetime... of laboring and slaving... for what?
My eyes... sting from the salt and the blood
A lifetime have I been denied
Straining for merely "existence"
What's the use when you refuse to listen?
Could you care less to know what I've been through?
I don't see your God in you
Christians are as Christians do
Give me something I can tell is real
Or let me be...
(repeat chorus)
When you return to your fantasy world
To your dreams
Remember reality for me is pain
If you don't know me... how could you know what I feel?
Hope is no longer a reasonable goal
Who are you to come speaking of hope for my soul?
When you don't know me... how could you know what I feel?
They struggle in darkness
We sleep in the light
3 a.m. shots ring again
good-bye to another night's rest
pusher in the tradewinds been cold two days
found dead by the manager's kid
more fights at the show last night
more leave in the ambulance
homeboy spendin' the night in emergency
caught a monkey-wrench in the head
a life full of nothing, or little more
this city starts to take its toll
frustration aches, the tension breaks
self-destruction takes its hold
watch me going (ever see despair? just look in my eyes)
nowhere
watch me going (here i was born and here I'll die)
nowhere
so whats the use continuing?
if living means nothing more
than to face another week trying to make ends meet?
finished off by passing out on the floor
can't you see that there's more to this?
or are you content at wasting away?
live a life that's lost, hide from the cost
end up dead in a downtown alley-way
a hand extended there's life at the cross
there's no need to go on living this way
can't take seeing another life lost
from mother's womb
to garbage can
the little children die
although they never
took a breath
those babies were alive
the infants are sucked
through a tube
the murder goes unseen
does only God
and my heart
hear the babies silent scream?
capitol punishment
for the innocent
it's not justified
should we kill
a two year old
if he keeps us up at night?
the saline salts injected
and the baby melts away
can you hear the silent scream
the baby wants to stay
is all human life worthless now
or is that just how it seems?
does only God and my heart
here comes the ashen horse
death is on its back
the creature utters - "come"
the creature's voice - a thunder crack
(chorus)
seal number four is broken
now the time has come (x2)
once in times of peace
there was a chance before
but now it's much too late
he's broken seal number four
(chorus)
revelation 6:7,8
you're walking down the street just yesterday
a kid tells you about God you say, "no way"
he tells you hell, you kick him in the gut
well are you pretty tough since you
beat him up?
(chorus)
conviction is there something wrong?
conviction don't hold it in too long
pretty soon it'll come right out
don't we know what that's all about
don't you want to get rid of that nagging void
it's a force that only God can destroy
everyone has it until they let him in
receive Christ now - let your new life begin
when my life was empty
when my life was dead
the pain was taking over
and i wanted life to end
"it's time...to say...
goodbye...for good..."
then one day God showed me
gave me a reason to live
showed me there was hope
in the love he gives
rise - rise and hold your head up high
stand - stand you are his child
we've been in bondage for too long
it's time to rise up, in him be strong
we'll leave the past behind
in him move on
rise
my God is a shield about me
and he is the lifter of my head
satan tries to cut me down
my God always protects
in my God...no wickedness...
is found...and so
satan night and day tries to stop me
seeking out to destroy
my God turns his snares upon himself
rendering null and void
don't despair keep the faith
keep fighting, in his word be courageous and strong
we shall have victory for it's written
and we are the children of God
the gates of hell shall not prevail
there's a light at the end of the tunnel
a beacon to all who seek
we shall have victory so soon
"I hate you, it's your fault
my life's messed up
I don't care what you say,
my way's right.
where's your proof that
anarchy just won't work?"
but Jesus Christ has the plan for you
go your way
what's the cost
(chorus)
rebellion (x4)
"my heart's black - apathy I'm so cold"
change the world - let's unite humanity
narrow minded - you call us
we're just fools
God will use the foolish things
to confound the wise
to show you that he's right
(chorus)
there is a choice - you must choose - now's the time
heaven or hell - God is knocking at your door
don't reject his only Son
he died for you (x2)
who wants to grow up in a world that's so unfair?
and who wants to live in a world where nobody cares?
bombs in your backyard
all your doors are locked
your neighbor is a killer
your brothers hooked on drugs
all because we're living
in a world that we messed up - not God
say your life is going nowhere
friends and family just ignore you
put a gun against your head - figure you're better off - dead?
there is one chance to make things right
he's Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
he hung on your cross
took your sins
he suffered the loss
so you might live
receive him now, freedom gained
better do it soon
On the day I first opened my eyes to this life
And looked out from my shelter of youth
When I took my first steps in this world that was waiting
I was shocked by the sickening truth
That moment of weakness
Split-Second of fear
Was all that I needed allow
The Beasts that lay waiting
They struck and devoured
My body was left for the vultures that found it
Let me tell you about the Power of God
And the impotence of Fallen Man
The Saviour of All
Yes, the shelter of souls
The One Who is called, "I AM"
Of the wicked - enslaved by the chains they made
Slaves to their own desires
Those who would scorn the children reborn
Who have started to believe their own lies
Before you speak
Or even open your mouth
You better know what you're talking about
Before you even deny the God Who saved my life
Know the power of God
Is Alive
So who will speak?
And who will challenge Abba Father, Yahweh
Mighty God
Your "strong" - your "elite"?
Your ones set on high?
In my darkest hour they were nowhere to be found
You would swear by their speeches, their reaching - grasping
Believing - their "teaching"
Mortal men, so many come and gone
We all die one day
But my Lord was raised, yes:
The Power of God
Who is man, that God does take notice of him? (Psalm 8:4)
Every knee shall bow
And every tongue confess:
Christ is Lord of all
Creation accepts or creation rejects - and those who reject
Must fall
The perfect justice, eternal truth
All others only die in vain
You're gone as quick as you came
But God remains
sitting here thinking back
on the better days, the days gone past
before the change, the way things were
when everything was new and pure
when life was free and filled with hope
when everything was explained in full
those days are near forgotten
the ache of today replaces them
what about tomorrow?
will I have reached the goal?
or died forgotten,
with nothing to show?
"don't get your hopes up son,
there are no guarantees in life but one
that eventually you'll die.
that's a guarantee you cannot escape from."
so i'm sitting here - all alone
it's always worse when no one's home
why should I continue on
if death is the only final outcome?
to pursue some mythical success
that some have been fooled to think exists?
only to meet frustration and die
still they go on trying and trying and...
I refuse to live that lie
but then what is there but to die?
I knew I require some change
but every day comes up the same...fruitless
failure - so many say
I slow them down i'm in the way
spineless - got me convinced they've reached security
weakling - got me pegged
as if alone they've reached success
hopeless - all I am, the difference between
this world betrays
this world, it feasts upon me
failure - far too weak
can't even stand on your own two feet
spineless - you could never make it in this world of ours
weakling - they scream at me
inside your self is the strength you need
hopeless - the strong survive the weak are devoured
failure - I feel defeat
but I see now they're hiding something
spineless - draw my attention far away from hope
weakling - away from God, away from love
shake their fists at him above
hopeless - could it be? he shakes the world the lie they hold
my loneliness is evidence of my failure
to stay would mean to pursue some goal
which has eluded me so far
they say I need no one else, only myself
we've gotta move on
just livin' our lives for Jesus Christ
I know it's hard to be strong
but just have faith. he'll keep us in the fight
and he
said he'd never leave us
or forsake us
he told me so
he's in control, and soon he'll take us home
stick together, look ahead
no matter how hard it gets
just think back to yesterday
you're still alive it didn't get you yet
he's in control
don't be afraid
he said he'd never leave
or forsake us
(repeat first verse)
There’s no time left the word has been said
The trumpets have sounded
Your hopes and your dreams are grounded
The Chosen One has come
The countdown has begun, you’re now on your own
Must try to reach the throne!
You remember a time when a young man talked
Of God’s love and salvation but you turned your back on him
You had too much to do you needed time to think
But now your time’s run out!
And you’re faced with damnation (mumble…)
The Beast starts to rise and you listen to his lies
You can’t believe it’s true and his finger points straight at you
Satandropshisdisguise and tribulationChristians start to die
And your turn comes around and the guillotine falls down
On your head!
… now your time’s run out, bud!
"silence!" said the demon to the other as they circled,
"the young boy is trying to think.
the final thoughts course through his mind even now as we speak."
"no!" the other cried, "I want him now, let's pick this fruit while it's ripe!"
they faced each other and smiled.
"let's wait a little while, he's ours, let's take our time."
donald felt a chill crawling up and down his spine
like a once warm vein gone cold
he could feel an icy breeze, but no wind was shaking the trees
from where the breeze came donald did not know
so he tried to shake the cold
thinking back an hour ago to a decision he had made:
there would be no Christ in his precious little life
this decision he would take beyond his grave
the world went black
donald couldn't breath and his face turned a sickening blue grasping for sight
he saw something in the night and around him two images flew
slowly gettting clearer he could see them getting nearer
donald screaming as they spat in his face:
"welcome to hell
we'll be with you shortly
for now, the abiding place..."
there is more to the story
but really don't you worry, donald's fate is surely sealed
he chose to stand alone, to stand upon his own
but now the truth he'll find too real
you see we all have to choose
you follow God, or follow you
donald chose to chase his pleasures from the start
to ride atop the world, no help, no God, just him
but the ride was cut short by a speeding car...
the fool has said in his heart
"there is no God"
he loves evil more than good
deceit from his tongue
no one who understands
no one who could
fire will come upon those who refuse
(refuse) (x4)
(chorus)
Jesus has made the way
hearts no longer decay
Jesus has made the way
hearts no longer decay
God has looked down to earth
says, "no one does good, the need my loving grace"
except it you should
but you look to yourself
think you will find, an answer
in unity of spirit, soul, and mind
(vanity) (x4)
(chorus)
listen to what I say, I'm speaking to you
religion is not the way of finding the truth
relation is what God wants
tradition is through
if you want unity what else can you do?
(what-else-can-you-do)
(chorus)
now you can put behind
thoughts of the past
Jesus has set you free
your now free at last
a nation of millions
of lost little sheep
the mass effects so many
who believe all they see
the media's children
the people of sleep
taught to rest in peace
by the whispers of deceit
led to believe
that they're still free to decide
because the t.v. gave permission
on a program on rights
fed only the candy
the part that they wanna hear
slowly raped though they can only feel
the tickle in their ears
"close your eyes, release your mind."
consider yourselves my very one desire,
consider yourselves my slaves
consider yourselves at my fingertips,
in the palm of my hand, my slave."
to "leave your thinking to me..."
a nation of puppets
who worship a beast
who drinks the blood of their souls
as they lay at its feet
if seeing is believeing
then you can have your t.v. screen
I will worship a God
look at you shake...
I see it on your face...
why are you so afraid...?
looking down from above for much too long
on the masses you're here to serve
established as such but never as much as
the voice of the people's word
decisions of war and who needs thinking for
it's a kiss-up to the 1% and dismissal of the poor
you don't even live by the laws you give
and your welcome here is wearing thin
our fear...
palms to the sky that wait to be filled
raised in surrender under the breaking of wills
deserted, diverted, left to rot and to die
you've used us, abused us, all your promises - lies
from the history books and the twisted schools
we've been taught to question you was betrayal
and that you would never think of us as beneath you
that to challenge you would mean to fail
but hope we've received through God and we believe
he remembers the afflicted, his justice will be seen
though so many have yet to receive his light
soon they will know the message of Christ
your fear...
a stirring within us has opened our eyes
surely God above breathes the breath of new life
though you'd rather we looked to the strength of ourselves
God will be our source of power, and the world we will tell
your fear...
looking for a way
that's just not God's
a c. or a p.?
make up your mind
light and dark
they just don't mix
we love you all but something needs to be fixed
it's ridiculous
there's something wrong
christian punk?
what a hopeless joke
christian this
christian that
christian groups
christian clique's
I think we've had enough
it's not just the punk
it's holding to the world
it's not prejudice
it's what the bible tells
(chorus)
I'm not a christian punk
I am, Almighty Son of God, Son of Mary
Bread of life (Jesus skorel) Prince of Peace
Emmanuel, Glorious Lord
Jesus!
This is Jesus!
Councilor, Deliverer
Most Mighty, Most Holy
Cornerstone
God, Teacher (Sword) Word of God!
Lord of all
full of hype
the children of the corn
inverted crosses hangin' from your ears
you run at the mouth
and ruin our shows
you sing about death to hide your fears
hellcorn - satan's all you sing about
hellcorn - hide your fears
hellcorn - you serve the lesser being
hellcorn - doesn't make the truth disappear
on an on
you wore the gimmick out
you limit yourselves, and make us sick
ignoring the needs
of souls in search of peace
to babble on about a horror flick
why must you ruin our shows?
speaking bold the blasphemies
why don't you shut your mouth?
the wicked shall return to sheol
even those who forgot of God
the needy not always forgotten
perish not the hope of the afflicted
arise oh God do not let man prevail
judge the wicked before your throne
(chorus)
arise oh God do not let man prevail
the nations shall be judged before thee
put them in fear oh Lord
let the nations know, they are but men
relief to you the afflicted
to us as well as Jesus' return in flaming fire
dealing out - retrebution
to those who do not know God
to those who do not obey
the gospel of our Lord Jesus
(chorus)
salvation is in your reach
Christ is king and he is God
you would be wise to heed his word
your fate is laid before you
the choice is in your hands
from now until your death
a scream is heard from the street outside
another soul that is ready to die
when hope is lost there's no need to go on
that soul is crushed by the dread of the thought
that life is no more than waiting for death
from the day of birth to the final breath
where is the reason, the reason to life?
it's nowhere in sight, and I'd know it if I'd seen it
searching...gotta find a point to it all
nothing...no...
there's nothing it's empty
there's nothing it's empty
there's nothing it's dying
there's nothing - in hateworld
at every turn another light goes dim
all around me it's closing in
my life is fading but the pain goes on
it never stops - keeps pushing on
no choice but to be hard as life is itself
what else you gonna do when you've known nothing else?
but deep down inside that ain't no way to live
there has got to be something more to this
this world - empty
though its promises are many
expectations so high that none can hope to fulfill
all these impossible standards that they've convinced us are real
lead to nothing but anger, frustration and hate
but you don't have to live that life
there's hope with change
children of the Son
in a world of hate
it's the only chance you've got
call on his name...
save me...
oh Lord, save me
this place is evil
this world is headed for its due demise
with mankind's corruption destruction lies
you can taste the tension, feel the strain
the world's weak foundations are giving way
then this grand illusion, this immaculate lie
will rot and crumble leaving nowhere to hide
God's call you've heard, and he is waiting
you've heard the whole story
you don't want to be a part
you've taken Jesus Christ
and locked him out of your heart
if you're not for him you're against him
the bringer of new life
there is one thing you must do
accept the way, the truth, the life
is God in a cage?
from hell you won't be saved (x2)
concerned with pleasing crowds
you put God to the test
don't wait 'till you're before his throne
the wages of sin are death
I'm no longer of this world
that I know for sure
greater is he who's in me
than he who's in the world
(chorus)
Jesus set me free
now it's time for you
if you think this is a fairytale
I tell you it's the truth
I don't need drugs
I don't need drinks
I don't need things that make me
so I can't think
all I need is Jesus
he keeps me holding on
when satan attacks
he (Jesus) makes me strong
I was out of luck
I gave it up
I don't need money
I don't need cars
I don't need things
that "make you who you are"
to Jesus I am famous
that's my only strife
I know my name is written
in the book of life
(chorus)
all the stupid things
of this world
will do you no good
when you're in hell
I'm talking 'bout Christ
life for free
I'm talking 'bout Christ
can't you see
you're outta luck
Is it any wonder
The spell you took me under
I have been a slave to your touch
But you stretched the borders too much
Can't you see that I'm thru with you
There is nothing left to do
Too many words that have been said
Don't you realize it's too late
Hate was what you've seed
War was on your mind
Stone cold
You didn't have no mercy with me
Can't you see that I'm boned
I am here and you are there
All alone but that's my share
This is what you've done to me
You have crucified my soul
Now that it's all over
And the truth has been told
What you gonna do with me
You've traded our love for gold
All the glamour that you own
Ain't worth nothing when you're alone
Is this really where you wanted to be
Here's the truth for you to see
Hate was what you've seed
War was on your mind
Stone cold
You didn't have no mercy with me
Can't you see that I'm boned
I am here and you are there
All alone but that's my share
This is what you've done to me
You dream of a world without pain
But there's only evil
The prophet predicted your path
And you will deceive her
An Angel of death
Has fallen again
And this time it's your turn
You live to die your soul is blind
By the creature in your mind
See the sign of Lucifer
You live to die what will you find
In the corner of your mind
Once again crucified
You'll dance with the demon tonight
Between good and evil
Betrayed by a spell from her hand
Cause Lucifer leads her
A sinner no saint
From heaven was sent
And this time your soul'll burn
You live to die your soul is blind
By the creature in your mind
See the sign of Lucifer
You live to die what will you find
In the corner of your mind
Once again crucified
You live to die your soul is blind
By the creature in your mind
See the sign of Lucifer
You live to die what will you find
In the corner of your mind
This is my skin, battered and blue,
this is my body, broken for you
This is my world, a sickening view,
this is my blood which I spill for you
Cut away the layers down to the bone,
down there's the inner child from which I have grown
Feelings bleeding, stripped, skinned and salted,
I burnt and then pissed on all I ever wanted
I'll gladly walk - that extra mile -
cut my throat - to make me smile -
I'm vandalised - I'm sacrificed -
I'm stretched out wide -
I'm crucified - I am crucified
My guardian angel, bleeding on the deck,
Cupid paralysed, with a broken neck
My one and only prayer is my own death threat,
the wages of sin, each and every regret
Break my back, but you cannot crush me,
kick the chair, but you cannot hang me
Only happy when I see you fall,
on top of your head, I always walk so tall
Behold, all the eyes shall see them
All wound that pierce them
Take pleasure in his sins
Take pleasure in her suffering
When you lie with the beast
You shall die with the beast
Behold the eyes that pierce them
So you say your lord had mercy?
So you say your lord has faith?
Behold the eyes that pierce him
In this synagogue of satan!
Behold this seven spaces sewn
Behold the seven spaces known
Behold the seven spaces
Set apart beside the master's throne
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 all good saviors go to heaven
Seven spaces sewn, seven spaces known
Seven spaces set apart beside the master's throne
Jesus, the crucified
Took my place
Now I can have eternal life, life
Light of the world
Your name I praise
Highly lifted up
Redemption's song is what I sing
Crucified, Crucified for me
Crucified so that I may live
Bruised, despised
Alone and betrayed
Christ the King of Kings
What a precious gift my Savior gave
Bread of Life, Emmanuel
Bright and morning star
May the Son of God be forever praised
Forever praised.
Because of God's love
You hung on that cross
Bled for my life
I will never forget, what you've done
Paying that price; the greatest sacrifice
You gave your love
You shed your blood
Laid down your life for me
Crucified, suffering of life
My life failed - Loss of self respect
Life that means nothing to me
Wanna leave the pit, wanna end this shit
My mind is sad, this life is crap
No power left to step ahead - step ahead
Sad life, dead mind
Creepin', searching, dying - meaning of life
My mind is sad, this life is crap
No power left to step ahead
Crucified, down for life!
Life that means nothing to me
Wanna leave the pit, wanna end this shit
My mind is sad, this life is crap
No power left to step ahead
To step ahead, ahead, ahead
Seal your eyes and use them inside
See if you know who I am
Feed your lies and breed them a while
Meet them again when you're near yeah
Under skin, left within
Seamless scars, can't deny
From the inside, Crucified
In silence, resentment bleeds through
Somewhere your past will resort
Feeling dry, I'm dying
You know why
I'm drained from the wound that won't heal yeah
Under skin, left within
Seamless scars, can't deny
Here in this moment
I choose to believe
To call on the invisible
As if it could be seen
Here in this moment
I am unafraid
To take part in His suffering
And be called by Jesus name
And I stand unashamed
I know I've been crucified with Christ
With all my heart, my soul, my might
I lift up my hands, lay down my life
I'm crucified with Christ, crucified with Christ
Here in this moment
I lay down my life
Still I know I am in this world
A living sacrifice
Here in this moment
I count all gain as loss
Take all my pride and sinfulness
And nail it to the cross
And I stand unashamed
I know I've been crucified with Christ
With all my heart, my soul, my might
I lift up my hands, lay down my life
Crucified
Who is this King
This King of Glory?
Who was and is and who will be
Savior of man, if I die with Him
And like Jesus, I will rise again
I know I've been crucified with Christ
With all my heart, my soul, my might
I lift up my hands, lay down my life
I'm crucified with Christ
I lift up my hands, lay down my life
Condemned by law, standing responsible Confused by careless ferocity Actions for crucified memories Nothing can stop them from killing a thousand deaths Deceive and burry the ultimate wrath of the sane
Oh creepy murderer a nickel for your thoughts Another dead body for our wealth
Confused by mistake, the stranded scapegoat Condemnation of the fallen angle Action's for ultimate honor's. Everything will stop him from seeing another day Deceive and burry everything that's left alive
Oh creepy murderer a nickel for your thoughts Another dead body for our wealth
I'm crucified
For the holy dimension
Godlike ascension
Heavens away
Prophets I've been reading
Stories I've been told
Before I end my breathing
I travel in the soul
Where thorns are a teaser
I've played a double jeu
Yherushalaim at Easter
I cry I pray mon Dieu
I cry I pray mon Dieu
I cry I pray mon Dieu
Adieu mon Dieu
I'm crucified
Crucified like my Saviour
Saintlike behaviour
A lifetime I prayed
I'm crucified
For the holy dimension
Godlike ascension
Heavens away
I'm crucified
Crucified like my Saviour
Saintlike behaviour
A lifetime I prayed
I'm crucified
For the holy dimension
Godlike ascension
I feel crucified livin' day and night
so sad in desperation
walkin' on the line holding back the time
and aims of my temptations
Walk through the door, break my wall
you won't fail again
I was crucified, tired from the fight
that takes away my pain and harm
I was crucified, waitin' for the light
that makes me feelin' safe and warm
can't you knock on my door
while I'm dreaming
please make me walkin' again
As far as I'm concerned, I hate the wage I earned
So far but I don't surrender
So much to explain, searchin' for the gain
and gold so smooth and tender
Pass through the dark, spread the sparks
Another night in this cathedral of vision where sounds echo from walls from the centuries back to
our times
What was the reason why I can't hear it anymore?
Your highness give me a shelter
Can you see that I am falling down
Majesty, majesty...
Why did you forsake me?
Majesty, majesty...
Can you see?
You don't know me and I don't know you
You don't know me and I don't know you
I've seen the darkness, I've faces the evil in many forms from bitter to sweet
Can't you see it feels like I'm crucified
Can't you see it feels like I'm crucified
My eyes feel so sore, I can't stand it anymore
Write in the candlelight divine tensions of sounds
Forever is so long and time is waste
To be or not to be, can't stand it anymore
Your highness give me a shelter
Can you see that I am falling down
Majesty, majesty...
Why did you forsake me?
Majesty, majesty...
Can you see?
You don't know me and I don't know you
You don't know me and I don't know you
I've seen the darkness, I've faces the evil in many forms from bitter to sweet
Can't you see it feels like I'm crucified
In the darkness I want your love
In my sadness I need your love
And if you want me to be pure then I'll try hard to be pure
And if you want me on my knees then that's where I'll be...
For you
I'll light a candle to forbidden love
Pray to the moon and the stars above
But still my love will be denied
I'm Crucified
For you dear I was born
And for you dear I wear this crown of thorns
Oh baby... come to me baby
Oh baby... My pretty baby
I shut my eyes and ignore the truth
But still there's nothing I can do
And so my love must be denied
I'm Crucified
And I blame myself
My heart is beaten black from this strap across my back
And I'm choking on the pearls that gave me life
Lo this man! He tried to wash our sins with his blood;
I saw him, fallen, with his gore face in the mud under my feet...
And I've heard him crying for his father' secret betrayal,
And I've washed my hands for the murderer act of his own people.
Come to see him,
The shepherd from Nazareth;
Come to laugh of him,
Behold that corpse in the cross.
I've stood in the shadows all this time of sorrow and slavery,
Since he spoke and no one belived the words from his heart;
Then he died, defeated, drawned in the mountain by the tears of whores...
I celebrate his useless sacrifice in the name of the lord.
Come to die for him,
'Cause this battle I shall win
Come to pray for him,
[K-Rino:]
Yeah
One time for ya mind
I'm try'na hang ya boy from the cross, in this rap game
I got nails in my wrist
[Verse 1:]
Now it's time for me to say goodbye to you
Forget a drive-by I get inside a car and drive through you
You can live across the water I ain't tripping I'll fly too you
Inchoation, you don't know if you dead or alive do you
Whoever said I wasn't one of the coldest lyricist, screw you (yeah)
Whoever the so-called greatest can do fool I can do too
Most greatest lyricist a real repetitions that's too true
Rap the same way on every song every album that's boo-boo
I'm a lyrically scientific fill a sofical guru
A master lyricist with the spirit to shock a Zulu
I don't fly over your head on every paragraph to woo you
I rather constantly concept you alive than relate to you
Don't sweat these fake critics that speak on you like they knew you
Don't let nobody dictate your style young homie do you
The same fool that's rapping about what in the bullet do you
It sounds like a ballerina wearing a forested pink tutu
While you stealing ideas a got people wanting to sue you
We was with you girl in the motel room, running a choo-choo
And she ain't try'na leave till every member of my crew-crew
And all these years you thought she was sweet, innocent, who knew?
To try to pick one best rapper is stupid to attempt do to
Like a fool who steeping in shit, putting they foot inside a new shoe
You was mentally staged and now you audiences out grew you
I pay a hundred bucks just to come to your show just to boo you
[Hook: x2]
They wanna check and try me (check and try me)
Wanna crucify me (crucify me)
But when I hit em blindly
They be screaming why me (screaming why me)
No respect deny me
Unaware that I'll be (I'll be)
Lyrically
The coldest you doubt and replying seed
[Verse 2:]
Under the radar, underdog, underappreciated
Underground, misunderstood, and underrated
My natural love and passion for writing became Jay'ed
I gave em intelligence but the garbage they gravitated
To the under interested lame and I cried and narrowated
To the multitudes that hated I'm a newer and navigated
They be hoping that I sell out and become integrated
To this non-symmetrical imbalance industry they created
People ask me all the time "K, how come you never made it? "
It's because in lollipop world I never participated
When you hear my words I want you to think, and be elevative
How can my diamonds and my cars help your life get situated?
You ain't saying shit in your songs that's why your life faded
Two weeks after they dropped that trash it was outdated
Went platinum, turned your back on the hood, you violated
If you don't show love to your fans, then you need to be cash-striated (fool)
You fell off and went broke embarrassed and degraded
Your career was like an illusion that you've illusionated
From day one in the game, all thin ice ya skated
And when you fell through the community celebrated
