A bride is a woman about to be married or newlywed.
The word may come from the Proto-Germanic verb root *brū-, meaning 'to cook, brew, or make a broth' which was the role of the daughter-in-law in primitive families. In Western culture, a bride may be attended by one or more bridesmaids.
Her partner, who becomes her spouse after the wedding, is referred to as the bridegroom (or groom).
In Europe and North America, the typical attire for a bride is a formal dress and a veil. Usually, in the "white wedding" model, the bride's dress is bought specifically for the wedding, and is not in a style that could be worn for any subsequent events. Previously, until at least the middle of the 19th century, the bride generally wore her best dress, whatever color it was, or if the bride was well-off, she ordered a new dress in her favorite color and expected to wear it again.
My Dying Bride are an English doom metal band formed in Bradford, England in 1990. To date, My Dying Bride have released eleven full-length studio albums, three EPs, one demo, one box set, four compilation albums, one live album, and one live CD/DVD release. Along with bands such as Anathema, Paradise Lost, and Katatonia, they are one of the forerunners of the death/doom metal genre. While bands like Paradise Lost and Katatonia have expanded their musical styles beyond doom metal, though Paradise Lost later returned to the genre, My Dying Bride has continued to play doom metal since its foundation.
My Dying Bride were formed in Bradford in the north of England in June 1990 after guitarist Andrew Craighan and drummer Rick Miah co-formed the band after they had split from Abiosis, joining vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe and guitarist Calvin Robertshaw while ending Abiosis. After six months of rehearsing, the band recorded and released their demo, Towards the Sinister, which was produced by Tim Walker of Voltage Records. Its title was taken from a line in the song "Symphonaire Infernus et Spera Empyrium". The band would soon release their first single, "God Is Alone", on a small French label called Listenable. After the single had sold out almost immediately, they were picked up by Peaceville Records, and they could release their first EP, Symphonaire Infernus Et Spera Empyrium, which also featured their latest recruit, bassist Adrian Jackson. The EP was soon followed by their first full-length album, As the Flower Withers.
Plot
It depicts apocalypse concentrating on the last days of a family's catastrophic life in a prevalent winter (nuclear winter) in Iran in 2012. The notions of void and terror are dominant in the film. (The nuclear catastrophe or winter is not specifically mentioned in the short film because of the hard political situation in Iran. However, its implications exist throughout the film like their imprisonment in their claustrophobic place.) Basically, the figures are indifferent in their hard circumstances and are not able to communicate with each other.
Plot
The past meets up with the present when a former group of college friends are reunited and forced to sit together at a wedding reception.

Dale Jennings: $3000 and a sharp shooter and all my problems go away

Pastor Barry: Jesus had no time for hypocrites and their empty religions. His heart broke when he would see the people who were crushed and beaten down by life. He loved them then, and He loves us now; all of us who have made mistakes... lost our way.

there's a war around disneyland (proverbs 4: 17-18)
there's no love they don't understand

sanctuary for the rebel man
where are all of your machine guns stashed
freedom is your cocaine in the kitchen trash

here in america
we open our arms
we open our doors
world on our shoulders

Skillet blonde baby going to milk it dry
Ain't got no horseshoes but got a sparkle in his eye
Warm and cuddled in a burlap sack
Step on the crack and your going to break your mother's back
Chorus
Have you made it where you wanna be
Verse
Runt of the litter kissed the pavement ever since
Told him to stand up straight
but he's hooked and bent
Feels like a sticky rim soda can
Half full, half empty, couldn't tell you were he's been
Embracing the fog like a friend in the bay
Charted a boat headed out to sea
Found religion but did he find Jesus
I'm looking for the Sons of God
Manifest the inner light
First Fruit Company stand on your feet
Salvation comes to history
Your sound goes out to all the earth
Your words to the ends of the world
There is no speech nor dialect
Where your voice is not heard
It's A Revolution
It's A Revolution
It's A Revolution
YOU don't get the point
I can see it in your eyes
The cross is the door, You are the promise
Every thought is captivated
Bringing obedience and revelation
Appearing in us for every eye to see
Transformation and Resurrection
Free from death hell and the grave
Watch me wade the flames of fire
I will suffer for your sake
I am that I am
I am sent me
I am blots out transgressions
I am that I am
I am sent me
Devil in your head
A serpent in your tree
Soaring through the heavens
of your lost soul
You believe every lie
Jump from every shadow
Listen to them you will live
in guilt and shame
We are,
Here to Save your Souls
More than Human
Your crime is never waking
from your mortal sleep
I do not condemn you
Twisted duality
Jesus never condemned
Jesus He forgave
Never took revenge
Christ we will be saved
I tried to tell you the truth
To share my heart with you
But it comes by revelation
To those who hunger and thirst
Against hope believed in hope
I am not ashamed
I do not live in guilt
In my world there is no pain
They say I am going to burn But they will never learn
I'll never be like them I'll never be like them
They all dress in white to cover the flesh on their back
There's a baby crying, A new born who won't be content
When he becomes a man he'll wonder where his childhood went
He'll feel the pain of life,
Choke his last breath Life is no bed of roses
Chorus
Life is the blues
Nothing we can do
Life is the blues
Verse
The last time he saw his wife she was marching out to sea
He was cruel and crazy, She was beautiful, She's been set free
Lines on her face The pain of reality
He broke her hearty then left her alone to be
Chorus
Life is the blues
Nothing we can do
Life is the blues
Nothing more to lose
All this guilt he holds within he let her slip away
It's to late to say those things she needed to hear him say
He never said I love you I want you to stay
He'd give his soul to relive that day
Mary don't you cry, kiss me now so I can die
Alabaster laughing sigh, A sinner with holy eyes
Wash my feet with her tears, Choke and strangle sister fear
Let down your pretty hair
Touch the day anoin t the year
Chorus
How Long not long, Reap what you sow
How Long not long His truth is marching on
How long not long been to the mountain top
How long not long till Jesus calls me home
Verse
You always have the poor I prepare a place for you
My cup runs over rod and staff will comfort you
Kill the shepherd the sheep will scatter across the barren land The hour has now come Wash the silver from your hands
Liverpool is dead, and the sounds that fill the air
The president went to Dallas and he never came out of there
If Jesus Christ offends you, you wear X's in your eyes
If you live in the eternal now you're a ball in hand
Never believed in luck a benefactor of the damned
Lost your rhythm and your stealing' fire breather bringing smoke
Whose got the church key more of that Claymore dope?
You wouldn't go decafe you said Jesus was a laugh
Now whose is that in the body?
In the neighborhood you thought about repenting
But you' rather take from them be the one whose given
You better know the house rules to finish in this life
Cause you'll learn the difference if you Dog the Nine
"I can not seem to say what I want to relate, but by His power I will say

The warehouse getting smaller skitzing played yourself
Versace on your back sideways and il
You were left behind you weren't watching' you were sleeping
Now your mother's squatted down alone and she's weeping.
You might not think its phat to apply the cross
The blood of Christ was shed to save your soul
It's all about the sin that you're compiling
Cast salt into your violence stop freestyling
You better know the house rules to finish in this life
Cause you'll learn the difference if you Dog the Nine
"I can not seem to say what I want to relate, but by His power I will say
(Dog the Nine) (Dog the Nine)
The picture of what he wants to portrait wants me by Hid Spirit to associate

(I tell you how to get it)
Yeah, yeah
You got the right to remain silent or freedom to speak your peace
Straight up with the truth I give you liberty
Why you wanna live out of bounds with a riot in your veins
Hoodlum can't find no peace only trauma in the grave
You need a designated driver for your hostility
Spiritual habitation for your responsibility
Effectual fervent prayer touches the throne of God
Your self inflicted mass suicide die with the mob
You better know the house rules to finish in this life
Cause you'll learn the difference if you Dog the Nine
"I can not seem to say what I want to relate, but by His power I will say
(Dog the Nine) (Dog the Nine)

The cross you wear
The lips that swear
The heart that tears apart
The do's and dare's
The troubled shared
The pain that causes want
The arm of flesh
The kiss of death
The infant sings of ressurect
Eyes that lust
Love waxed in rust
Finally rest in earth's sweet dust
Bless the ones who persucute
Love those who hate you
Bless the ones who persecute
Love those who hate you
Who are the enemies of the cross
And who finds it a stumbling block
Who can endure despising and shame
On the instrument of pain
Promises kept and Jesus wept
All four corners have been swept
To each his own
We should have known
That father God would call his children home
Bless the ones who persucute
Love those who hate you
Bless the ones who persecute
Love those who hate you
Bless the ones who persucute
Love those who hate you
Bless the ones who persecute
Love those who hate you
Bless the ones who persecute
Prisoner of war, prisoner of love, there's a torch to my head
crimes of passion, crimes of youth, stop the ringing in my head
born again, not born at all, the future is full of smoke
born to lead, the need to think, I grab my lungs and I choke
What we take for granted can be taken away and then you ask for more you're still dropping bombs from a plane that went down in the civil war drive the nails, drive them hard, peace turns to war again crown of thorns, crown of peace, political battleship
Crimes against humanity, the dogs are closing in
And when the kingdom comes, it will bring it to an end
Tell me you believe
Let's crown another beauty queen, do you find it so obscene
what about the homeless, the starving, the poor,
no room for the sick cause the rich want more
they lied to us, they lied to them,
breaks my heart inside
took their hope, stole their love,
no life left in their eyes
I stand on this hill and I scream your name
It's something they've tried to erase
Some say nothing lasts forever
We all run the risk of being lost
Some hold on and some never thought to believe
We've got to have bigger guns, we've got to find higher suns
one day you'll see the truth that you've been running from
tell me you believe, I still believe,
Living off the fumes of my fading reputation
Looking down the road at my darling aggravation
Craving a hit star struck infatuation
Chained like a dog choking humiliation
Got myself in another tight situation
Living on an island simple imagination
Breathing hard with feeble calculations
My mind spreads its wings universal liberation
Living with hope chemical frustration
My flesh is burning with carnal limitations
War within spiritual castration
Armageddon goes bang goodbye the population
I want, I need, Jesus didn? t fail
I feel, I love, come on, come on
A world where no one cries
A world where no one dies
I? ll find my way back home
Acid in my eyes, gall upon my tongue
Cyanide and vinegar I stole a handful from the sun
Is it time? I? ve seen the priest
Wearing black white color glow
Things I've held close have passed away
So I try to look for a brighter day
Memories of my past haunts my destiny
My dreams are illusions inside of me
Is nothing for real I can't tell no more
I've never been in this place before
There has got to be a way out of here
Nothing but blackened walls I'm getting scared
In the dark, don't be afraid of the dark
No rest for the wicked, I know that now
I'm ready to rest but I don't know how
I had surrendered my soul to the evil side
I need your love Lord to survive
In a moment in the twinkling of an eye everything you know is gone
Nothing feels right everything is wrong
Your no longer in control you're helpless and alone
The one you kneel before he sits upon a throne
You find yourself in a courtroom a place without walls
Cause here there is no time eternity begins and ends
The judge and the lawyer and the jury looks the same
Cause they are one and they are all the same
I never thought about
I never thought about
I never thought about
Going back
You never believed that this moment would come
Cause you never believed in him
Something terrible seems to have happen and there's no time to repent
Every opportunity to be forgiven passed you by
The words that you have feared are upon you
Depart from me nothing that's accursed can enter in
Nor nothing that defiles you never consider the blood
To the praise of the glory of His grace
I never thought about
I never thought about
I never thought about
Going back
God so loved the world merciful longsuffering
You never saw eternity as something so beautiful
Awake to righteousness and cleanse your hands
Jesus is the Son of God He is the Son of Man
Accepted and beloved at the cross an exchange
Deliverance, healing restoration price paid
Manifest, transformed, all things new
My hiding place my image my all in you
I never thought about
I never thought about
I never thought about
Going back
I never thought about
I never thought about
I never thought about
The agonies will come after you been lit up
The All Stars amped out bender got corrupt
Behind the eight ball nothing but flimm flamm
You been hawged and your souls been damned
Shot out to the curb with no place to go
Drink plenty of water and best walk slow
Started as ice cream then a joy ride
You can't stop coasting cause vanity is high
Too tired to fall for that
Hate them with a perfect hatred
Too tired to fall for that
Too tired to fall for that
Hate them with a perfect hatred
Too tired to fall for that
Plexin and panic oppression and pride
Fear and a snare hell has eyes
Gnaw on the bones Fata Morgana
How'd you get so far from the garden?
Duckets out the window ends on the street
And you medicate intravenously
Profit is worshiped smells like stale ghost
Forgiveness is unnatural with legal loopholes
Too tired to fall for that
Hate them with a perfect hatred
Too tired to fall for that
Too tired to fall for that
Hate them with a perfect hatred
Too tired to fall for that
Out there bad count the dead
Died with their mouth wide open
Started with a gateway you've been had
At Jesus Second Coming
When there's no one left to pardon your sins
The wicked are estranged from the womb
Will you still be standing in your disease?
Are you ready to face the Doom?
Too tired to fall for that
Hate them with a perfect hatred
Too tired to fall for that
Too tired to fall for that
Hate them with a perfect hatred
Too tired to fall for that
Too tired to fall for that
Hate them with a perfect hatred
Too tired to fall for that
Too tired to fall for that
Hate them with a perfect hatred
Bird's have their nests, and foxes have their holes
I have no place to lay my head
Been 40 days tempted by the devil
Like a reed shaking in the wind
Wheels of time are like caffeine
To pass this cup from me
kneeling in the tears that drop like blood
My face is the glow of destiny
Chorus
Mamma say a prayer for me
Verse
I heard the devil speak like tongues
As he left the throne of grace
I felt the wisdom of the ages
But he never showed his face
He danced on the head of the cross
Lost his footing and he fell
Stole a kiss from Jesus
So you want to drink because it makes you feel so big
Pour it down I'll break you like a twig
I am the whiskey you shoot in your veins
I am the bullet you put in your brains
I am the letter you leave on your bed
I am the angel that meets you when your dead
You're so young but you want to feel so old
The only way to be hot gain the world and lose your soul
I am the gin that makes you sad
I am the anger that makes you feel bad
I am the fever that burns your skin
The addiction injects sin
Go ahead when you want to feel mean
I'll show you how it's done I'm the maker of the guillotine
I am the reputation that makes you lose face
I am the fear that presents no case
I am the grave where there's no return
I know your deepest thoughts the secrets you keep
The lies you choose to believe
You are just like me
Do you hate me as much as I love you?
The rich and the poor meet together
I'm still here with all my contradictions
You are just like me
You're the reason I believe
As long as I live
You are just like me
Here alone trying to think
Wondering what went wrong
Like the virus in my veins
A broken window pane
Jaws are locked into place
Mingled cup thrown in my face
I live in a house of clay
Violated and dismayed
I don't want to be a dream
In somebody else's sleep
It is only when I'm left alone
That I pervert what is sown
Blood and skin beneath my nails
Reflects the emptiness of hell
Then I squirm in my bed
Pull the sheets around my head
Soaking wet in a pool of sweat
Pray for me, I'm not dead
Take me out with the garbage
And don't you compromise
'Cause that's all we really are
I drive a 69 Lincoln with suicide doors
A modified engine I put 4 on the floor
Head lights glowing like the devils eyes
When I fire it up you? ll go blind
From the tail pipe we got red brimstone
When I drive by it rattles your bones
The horn howls like the hounds of hell
Got demons in the backseat ringing those bells
Fuel and fire got no place to hide
I ride the lightening and I never die
Fuel and fire can? t you read the signs
I am in your head I fall from the skies
The highway that I run is paved with ash
I always borrow and I never pay back
Poor little souls praying for their loved ones
I won? t stop burning till the killing gets done
If you feel the ground shake and see black clouds roll
I? m going to warn you I? m stirring the coals
When you see me coming it is too late
If your eyes on me then you? ve sealed your fate
I am the antiChrist I am the anguish that you wear
I am your covering a long piercing dead stare
I am your veil of flesh that blinds you from the truth
I am humanity the mortal man shall never rule
I am the drugs you take that gets you closer to your God
I am all the things that you never thought you would become
I know you hate me for it? s written in your own blood
From the beginning of the garden to the end and the grave
Salvation of all comes by the cross, the blood, the life the name
Every man, women and child followed Adam to the grave
Your flesh he will destroy that your spirit will be saved
End of Days, end of days, the age is over
Embrace the Revelation
Forever feels like sunshine
Tasted death for every man suffered for your sins
Not willing that any should perish can you comprehend?
Some will be saved so as by fire, the past is burned away
First Begotten of the dead, Light of the world today
I saw the dead small and great stand before the throne
I heard a voice out of heaven calling His children home

He wore a 4-piece he's doin all day
He had put on Front Street: plenty to say
Started with a Bullet: started buggin out
Now he's Red Tag: Confine to a cell.
There was a blanket party There was a lock down
Somebody was Stitched up: Blook In, Blood Out
The Hooch: got deep the mainline squeezed
Fence parole rabbit drowned in his ink
Taking it to the Square: Bumpin his Gums:
The rev was called to clear the air up some
Don't mean nothin don't mean a thing
CON SOFOS (Twice as bad back at you) L.W.O.P.
If you can't Make Paper: prepare for pay back
He had been debriefed he was courting out
Started with the moan and grown, ended with the clicks
Phones off the hook lifers in the bricks
Lean and Lurch here comes the church
On the one crew trying to feed me the word
Then it just happened like a house tossing
Who says it's fair Due Processing
Heres the righteous heres the holy
The redeemed of the Lord and godly
This is reality this is carnality
This is life. Life is a felony
From the White House to the Church House
From the School House to the court House
From the White House to the Church House
From the School House to the court House
Do your own time - Do your own time - Do your own time
Do your own time - Do your own time - Do your own time
Rest your neck kick the deck
Find peace within your head
When you press the bunk the shakedown comes
Its best to know Jesus what he has done
Of all the kings that have ever reigned
All the priest that have ever prayed
All the men elected president
Of all the armies that's walked on land
From the White House to the Church House
From the School House to the court House
I got a raindrop on the tip of my tongue
If I get all I want I will have to give you some
Im the beggar, the thorn in the brow
I am the cross you force and twist into the ground
Butter so stiff that it wounds my bread
Got a dew drop omelette an trash can lid
Aint got no loafers to warm my feet
Funny paper stimulates comic strip heat
Crack vials breaking like a shotgun blast
How long can the sounds of a cat fight last
Howling at the moon for friends who have passed
On Sunday well fly black flags from the mast
Ive been hurting deep in my soul
Does anybody have the time Holy Ghost
Diesel is the smeel of a Mississipi grill
Played trombone once for a delta dollar bill
Pull the snow around me snug me like a blanket of wool
If a lie here to freeze to death Id be another fox hole fool
I got nothing new its used, borrowed and spent
Good Friday, Ash Wednesday, and a pocket full of lent
Living in a box of cardboard and gray
Made a window, made a sign, woudnt mind working a little bit
I cant sleep, I cant think
Life has poured me a glass that I cant drink
The rim is jagged like a razors blade
and has left a scar that will never fade
My thoughts are daggers on every nerve
Life is a slow song with dirt words
When I get to heaven will I wear a mask
There's a peeping tom in the eye of God's house
Shooting insulin as quiet as a church mouse
Tried to clean his bones from a suffer well
Turned his head couldn't stand the smell
Chorus
Thrill a minute
Verse
Life size crucifix was stolen from the wall
The Organist played Amazing Grace for them all
A hooker in a red skirt testified and repented
While the deacons passed a snake stared and squinted
Someone had a spirit Ran up and down the isle
When the shouting stopped the choir laid in a pile
Bell ringer pull the rope and was lifted of his feet
Pastor disobeyed took the money to the street
Paper taxis pull of eyes Chocolate Pulpit racing by
Floating boardwalks of candy canes
Daddy lost the moon rock
Only thing that we owned
Only way to get out of poverty
Born in a small room
Then we lost everything
Swallowed up in apathy
Who will save my soul?
I want to be a soul winner
I want to be a soul winner
We got down on knees
Prayed for the love of the truth
Never lost or misplaced our hope
Who will save my soul?
I want to be a soul winner
I want to be a soul winner
Say more than they say do more than they do
Be more than they will ever become
Say more than they say do more than they do
Be more than they will ever become

SHE DON'T GET HER PICTURE MADE NO MORE
SON'T GET HER PICTURE MADE NO MORE
IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF MONTHS SINCE SHE WALKED OUT THE DOOR (Revelation 3:20)
SHE HAD A SMILE THAT COULD LIGHT UP THE DAY
SOMEONE'S PUT A FROWN ON HER SERVING TRAY
SHE'S ALL DRESSED IN BLCE WAITING ON THE CABLE CAR
BUT I KNOW THE LORD WON'T LET HER GO THAT FAR (Luke 15:4-6)
IF SHE WOULD COME BACK SHE'D BE FORGIVEN
she comes to me in my dreams,
dancing on the stormy seas
the light to guide my way
there was sorrow in my mind,
she helped me to find
my way to the pearly gates
she's here to say
it's not the same as yesterday
you can change and you don't have to be alone
she's here to say
there's a better way
if you'll open your heart
goodbye to the life that blinded me
hello to the one who saved me
there's room for everyone who listens
there's a heaven for those who are wishing
when i get that broken kind of feeling
i have a friend i can believe in
she's here to say it's not the same as yesterday
you can change and you don't have to be alone
she's here to say there's a better way
if you'll open your heart
goodby to the life that blinded me
A stab in the back never looked so familiar.
The time has kept track of me for days on end.
It seems as if my plans have made plans of their own.
I watched them burn at the stake, at the foot of their own demise.
I'll be here waiting for my friends, even the best of them,
Will fade away.
You must have slipped through the cracks.
Yeah.
The night will change to reveal every imperfection
on your face. (On your face)
What's the point of your exterior if it's empty beneath? (Empty beneath)
Guns aren't for playing around.
You don't look so tough now.
I'll take what's left,
And rip it from your chest.
Dim the lights, to hide the beast,
Yeah, and now,
YOU'LL ROT AWAY FROM BENEATH MY FEET.
I'll be here waiting for my friends,
Even the best of them will fade away.
The night will change to reveal every imperfection
on your face. (On your face)
What's the point of your exterior if it's empty beneath? (Empty beneath)
Mark my words, when you return,
This room won't be as warm as before.
The truth, the hurt, the Spirit, the Word
The Voice, the choice, who will you serve
The Life, the Blood, the tree the Love
I've paid my dues, below and above
The race, the prize, the in outside
The fire, the crier, the flames expire
Abounding in hope the anchor my soul
Jesus the Christ, All enter the light
The first resurrection, mercy and truth
Remember the life imparted to you
They come they go like a river they flow
The first, the last, the future, the past
YOU CAN HEAR ME
YOU CAN HEAR ME
YOU CAN HEAR ME
For what it's worth, I would've had you drowned at fucking birth.
Bring forth the future, because the past is haunting my dreams.
Every picture you left for me, seemed picture perfect to me.
I did what I thought was right, there's no gloves in this fight tonight.
Can you see the ecstacy (Maybe, baby) pulsating through her veins?
(This time you learn how to)
For months I followed numbers. I once was lost.
I am found alone, asking myself what comes next.
Every conversation just leads us to sex.
Cinderella baby, why won't you dance with me?
Cinderella baby, why won't you dance with me?
Now you see the ecstacy (Maybe, baby) pulsating through her veins.
You're just a walk-on role,
You say that time's run out. I say it's time to leave you.
Maybe baby, next time you'll learn how to act like a lady, act like a lady.
Maybe baby, next time you'll learn how to act like a lady, act like a lady.
Cinderella baby, why won't you dance with me?
Cinderella baby, why won't you dance?
(Cinderella baby)
Everything you've touched has turned to rust and nothing more than lust. (For my fucking bitch)
Fifty ways and maybe more,
to the tree of life to come up short
The narrow road is the way go
In a trumped up 70 Super Sport
Truth and lies has consequence
Depending upon ones competence
The fearful losses confidence
The world sees no difference
Come home from the California sunshine
Recycled Angel tears
Flat blues in the headlights
Back breakers Don't Come back here
Come home from the California sunshine
Recycled Angel tears
Flat blues in the headlights
Back breakers Don't Come back here
And it makes little sense
to suffer through the politics
No one drank the new wine
Flushed in their list of crimes
Time for me to elaborate
The good and bad will separate
You heard about the judgement day
I hope you don't miscalculate
Come home from the California sunshine
Recycled Angel tears
Flat blues in the headlights
Back breakers Don't Come back here
Come home from the California sunshine
Recycled Angel tears
Flat blues in the headlights
Back breakers Don't Come back here
Come home from the California sunshine
Recycled Angel tears
Flat blues in the headlights
Back breakers Don't Come back here
Come home from the California sunshine
Recycled Angel tears
Flat blues in the headlights
Indulging in the calamities
Nun's faces down in the mud near the ridge
Are their backs as strong as their faith?
The soldiers march on a human bridge
Gorge with lust until they're fat with pride
Elevate through the darkness out of the mind
Bruise the back with your sharp tongue
Push down on his head and crush his lungs
Laugh out loud 'til he goes deaf
Tear at the heart within his chest
His rob of flesh he won't deny
Use ignorance to crush the apple of his eye
Part the garments, smell the clothes
The scent of death lingers in your nose
The anger is ripe until the veins explode
Contradiction is the word which best suits this life
A life of right and wrong, where wrong is twisted into right (Romans 1: 18)
The heart is exploding and the mind is racing (James 4: 14)
And we find ourselves running out of human breath (Proverbs 10: 27; Isaiah 1: 5)
The stale life of routine wavers and stagnates
And we experiment and toil in the fertile ground
The answers are seldom given to unpopular questions
Justify our hearts by what we selfishly hope to achieve (Job 9: 20)
I will live my life
Under the blood (Exodus 33: 22; 12: 7; 1 Peter 1: 2)
All signs point deliberately the other way (Ephesians 4: 14; Matthew 7: 13)
The road is slow and misery will be our company (Ecclesiastes 8: 6)
For to find true peace in this life we must forsake
All reason and conscience and cleave to God's faith
Peace comes from above (John 14: 27)
I have found no other
If we remove ourselves from that hope (Galatians 1: 16)
She drives me crazy, makes me belong
I can't take it no more
She gives her best, she gives her all
She picks me up when I fall
She's got a good thing, she's got a special way
She's there when I need her the most
She's really doing fine, she's got a heart to give
She puts me together again
Ever fallen in love, I have
Ever fallen in love, I am
She tells me she's all min, knows how much I need her
I'm blessed to have these feelings again
She makes me the man I am, she's the one I believe in
She holds a key to my heart
Ever fallen in love, I have
Ever fallen in love, I am
Love bears all things, believes all things
Hopes all things, endures all things
Love is patient, love is kind
I'm sick; I've tried not to show it
I pray to God that no one has noticed
But I grow weaker day by day
My face is pale my hair turns gray
It's hard to find the joy I once knew
What has crawled into my bones?
Made me brittle, made me old
All of my dreams are about God
When I dream about God
When I dream its about God
Confusion is my enemy
Restore my soul of faith from reasoning
Jesus save me from obscurity
From the hour, the moment of grief
But I grow weaker day by day
My face is pale my hair turns gray
Hunger grows,
Through the town as food is craved...
Hunger grows,
Through the town as food is craved like a drug.
The little food the people have is worth more than gold. (Oh)
Days go by as the villagers resources are reduced to
nothing. (To nothing, yeah)
The people can only sit back and watch as they are consumed,
By the pack of savages that poison...
Poison the town.
Each day a new sacrifice is chosen, (Chosen) (x2)
Hunger grows through the town,
And women are forced to eat their own young.
Every fight is a food fight when you are a cannibal.
The people that are left have died along with the rest.
Their hunger grows. (x4)
LAZY ALLEY MIND FILLED MY CRAZY HEAD WITH CRACK (Romans 1: 28)
SPOOKY LITTLE SPINNER SO WE CALLLED UP THE JACK (Galatians 5: 21)

BLACK OUT NIGHT IN PHILLY, THINGS WERE GETTING KINDA SILLY
AND THE TATTOO MOVE RIGHT UP MY ARM
AND WE KNEW WERE WERE LOSING, FUZZY EYE CITY SNOOZING (Isiah 56: 10)
AND THE NEEDLE DIDN'T LEAVE A SCAR
DON'T USE ME, DON'T BLEED ME
YOU SEE ME ON MY KNEES
DON'T USE ME, DON'T BLEED ME
YOU KNOW JUST WHAT I NEED
AND THE DOOR OPENED WIDER, RYAN PITCHED ME A SLIDER
AND THE LIGHTS WHEN OUT FOR SEVEN WEEKS
THERE'S A CERTAIN KIND AROMA WHEN YOUR BODY'S CRASHING COMA
AND YOU'RE TOO TONGUE TIED TO SPEAK
REAL EASY HUSTLE, GOT A BRAIN STORM MUSCLE
BUZZING LIKE A BUMBLE BEE
ROCKY CUT ME TO THE FLOOR, I GOT KICKED BY THE HORSE
IT'S SOMETHING LIKE I'VE NEVER SEEN
GOT A FRIEND WITH A MONKEY AND DON'T YOU THINK IT'S KIND OF FUNKY
HE'S A REAL JUDAS KISS
FOUND HIM FACE DOWN IN BED,
DRIVE BY SHOOTER DEAD
TIMES LIKE THIS I WON'T MISS
WHEN HE CAME TO FROM HIS HAUNTING BLUE
I SAID A MIRACLE HAS HAPPENED TO ME (Ephesians 2: 5)
FOUND MYSELF STARING IN THE EYES OF SOMEONE CARING (John 11: 25)
HE SAID BOY WANT TO SET YOU FREE (John 8: 32)
I COULD NEVER IMAGINE SALVATION AND COMPASSION (Acts 4: 12)
OR A LIFE WITHOUT GUILT AND PAIN
JESUS CRIED DROPS OF BLOOD IN THE GARDEN WITH HIS LOVE (I Corinthians 1: 18)
God's truth doesn't leave me dry
I put it right in your face
You push it away for concept
Then gather what remains
If I told you it was the end of the world
Would you change your ways?
When the sun is gone day is done
You're pasted in a book of despondency
Hopelessness will digest your will to live
Within your mind of despair.
Where do you think you're going?
Spinning on this little ball
If this footstool is your heaven
I was born into this world no identity of my own
So, I believed every word that my sweet mother told
When I was a child, I learned the devil ways
I could fight with the best of them
I could resist the pain
As I became a man, I learned life's mysteries
But there was always something hidden away from me
Head looking' for a bullet, loose your head!
Looking for a bullet.
This deceptive place lies and politics
I've been on the edge agitation has set in
I see the trouble is coming again
Minds of wrath are rising within
When the worlds were framed
I was standing there
The things that are seen were not made
Of things which do appear
In the desert of my mind in the in-part realm of time
At the Place of the Skull count all my bones
In the valley of decision on the island of despair
I'm standing on the sword of the Dragon
He can't pull it from beneath my feet
Down in the darkened cavern
In the field of blood I'll watch him bleed
Watching the smoke rise from the wounded hero
Standing dazed in the acid rain
A bitter taste in the air
I hear the danger of the tightening chains
Heroes, heroes, heroes are not here to stay
They will all fade away
Except the one who raised
I crawled through the ruins of old
Beneath its rubble lies a city of gold
His hands are chapped and bleeding cold
Returning all the riches that had been stolen
The people stand in the street and stare
The hangman releases his chilling cry
The heavens split to see the earth
There is a hurting place where feelings are not spared
This is a selfish world we come unprepared
You saw me fall
You seen me crawl
You wish me dead
But that's too easy
To the sky where the devils can't fly
These are the killing fields' illusions of my mind
This is an angry place I seek all that's divine
I ran alone, with my candle burning
Sweet Christ came with a light to shine
I can see it was perfect design
I thank God that I'm not blind
You're the pricking of my skin
The crawling of my flesh
I can feel you spreading yeah
Like the hand of death
I have a gun, and I won't run
When two worlds collide on the edge of time
Once I was a man with lost identity
Now I lift up the Christ that lives in me
Maybe this is heaven, I don't know
Was it really me that you loved the most?
Did I make you cry I won't compromise?
When the New World comes, like the rising of the sun
Blow it All away
Blow it All away
If my Kingdom were of this world today
The devil has ears but he can't hear
Except what you tell him from a heart of fear
And now you spit out words just to see
Where they splatter upon me
Die a little bit
Die a little bit every day
Through painful toil of absolution
Swimming up from uneasy dreams
On a continent adrift from its morals
You find yourself a desperate man
Jesus based in solidity
I'm balanced to conceive
When things are revealed to me
I move past perplexity
Locusts came early from the west
To test his resolve
Only difference between war and peace
Jesus came back and found you
at a card table in the back of a pawnshop
Jesus came back and found you
sleeping by the river on them big old nasty rocks
Chorus
Jesus came back
Jesus came back and found you
in love with someone with no name
Jesus came back and found you
swimming like a blind fish in a mammoth cave
Jesus came back and found you
on your front porch waiting for the sun to go down
Jesus came back and found you
I been wounded by ambition
Promised the impossible dream
Lied to me with pen and ink
Criticized for ministry
Reach out for the lost Manipulated
by my friends
The heart is desperately wicked
Who are the Born Again?
God cannot change
God cannot lie
God does not evolve
God cannot change
God cannot lie
God does not evolve
All is gained all alone
Nothing's lost all if found
All for love
(god it is all heard)?
All is gained all alone
Nothing's lost all if found
All for love
(god it is all heard)?
You say I have a problem
Sounds like you have a problem
I got no problem with you
What's truth?
God's Word is pure
What's truth?
Only thing I know
What's truth?
God's Word is pure
Only thing to liberate my soul
God cannot change
God cannot lie
God does not evolve
God cannot change
God cannot lie
God does not evolve
All is gained all alone
Nothing's lost all if found
All for love
All for love
(god it is all heard)?
All is gained all alone
Nothing's lost all if found
All for love
(god it is all heard)?
If you can't keep your tongue
You can't keep your soul
You talk about love
You're killing me in cold blood
This is my freedom
This is my statement
This is God's music
Here is my confession
God cannot change
God cannot lie
God does not evolve
God cannot change
God cannot lie
God does not evolve
All is gained all alone
Nothing's lost all if found
All for love
All for love
All is gained all alone
Nothing's lost all if found
All for love
You always told me, you can be beat
Thought you had me bound hand and feet
I can see your lies, pain and ecstasy
It's time I take control, love comes quickly
Lay your cards down, you ain't so tough
Is that all you got, I will call your bluff
Kiss the train, I won't do it
Kiss the train, I'd be a fool
Kiss the train, I won't do it
Kiss the train, love will take me through
In my sleep, I could feel the snake
Burning body until it ached
Signed my name in blood, dream of salvation
The morning will come, my love without reservation
This isn't the way out, there's always hope and time
They pay me lots of money for what I do
I'm a dancer midnight romancer under the moon
I'm on the clock, I like to rock,
I don't work the streets
You'll be amazed, your eyes a glazed
When I do my high wire feats
Exterminator, rawhide gangster, I can equal the odds
I pay for your sins with my boyish grin, I create the facade
Steady hand, I'm a gentleman, I've got deadly aim
Womanizer, lone survivor, I like to play the game
Hope you and Jesus have it all worked out
I'm a hired gun
There is no heaven here on earth, love must rule us all
Black days are coming, every prideful man will fall
Have no fear or shed a tear, but there will come a day
When I'm looked in the eye, asked to die, and I hear somebody say
Hope you and Jesus have it all worked out
I'm blind from coughing up blood
Crippled, broken, damaged in love
I'm starving from a fractured jaw
My hate from the dogs that maul
I SCREAM just to be heard
I PUSH because life is a blur
I'm tired cause I can't sleep
Misunderstood Teenage Freak
GOT THE RIGHT!
To be loved and be loved
GOT THE RIGHT!
To be loved and be loved
EVERYTIME I'M UP YOU WANNA BRING ME DOWN
Anger, Hate, Revenge it makes me feel ill
Rage, Aggression, Vengeance, no one left to kill
I am sick of feeling sick
I can't take any more conflict
I SCREAM just to be heard
I PUSH because life is a blur
Hell on earth and Hell within
Life is a battle fight to win
GOT THE RIGHT!
To be loved and be loved
GOT THE RIGHT!
To be loved and be loved
EVERYTIME I'M UP YOU WANNA BRING ME DOWN
When you think you know the answers
Don't believe that you're so wise
Cuz' all it is, is your opinion
And then life passes you by
It's judgment day when you step in with me
Tell the Lord Jesus just what you have done
Made me promises, it seems so cruel
I let her sink, she'd hate to wake,
I ripped her lips off of her face
And store them now, with her guts in a jar.
I can't take, I hate the way,
That blood runs in your fuckin veins.
Don't mess with this, bitch,
Your fucking blood will fill an empty vial, with your guts.
Yeah bitch.
Isn't it obvious? You will die.
You regret something you'll never see.
And I refuse to die alone, (I know)
I saw into blood,
Meet my fucking end.
And just this keeps her busy,
Found out what she hates.
And I know, that I won't be able to keep marrow of my date.
Anticipating, I picked her like a string,
Every picture made for me, so fuckin fake.
Stay awake through this or I'll cut your fucking dreams. (Stay awake)
I've skinned her face and yours, and that's all that matters to me. (Stay awake)
I've learned something more, to now choke her,
While wiping this bitches smile, into a fucking frown.
Such a fucking slut.
All, All that matters to me will be the end. (Yeah)
(All that matters to me now will be the fucking end)
The end... (All that matters to me now will be the fucking end)
All that matters to me will be the end. (All that matters)
All that matters to me will be the end.
All that matters to me will be the end. (All that matters)
I'm the man in white
The eagle in flight
I'm clean and pure
My heart is sure
I'm dressed to kill
I've got the strings of fire
Screaming guitars
Energy that will explode
Got the golden throat
To put on the show
The power I will unload
Here comes the bride
Got feet of brass
I'm first and last
Sharp two edged sword
Nail scars
I hold the stars
Prisoner of war, prisoner of love, there's a torch to my head
crimes of passion, crimes of youth, stop the ringing in my head
born again, not born at all, the future is full of smoke
born to lead, the need to think, I grab my lungs and I choke
What we take for granted can be taken away and then you ask for more you're still dropping bombs from a plane that went down in the civil war drive the nails, drive them hard, peace turns to war again crown of thorns, crown of peace, political battleship
Crimes against humanity, the dogs are closing in
And when the kingdom comes, it will bring it to an end
Tell me you believe
Let's crown another beauty queen, do you find it so obscene
what about the homeless, the starving, the poor,
no room for the sick cause the rich want more
they lied to us, they lied to them,
breaks my heart inside
took their hope, stole their love,
no life left in their eyes
I stand on this hill and I scream your name
It's something they've tried to erase
Some say nothing lasts forever
We all run the risk of being lost
Some hold on and some never thought to believe
We've got to have bigger guns, we've got to find higher suns
one day you'll see the truth that you've been running from
tell me you believe, I still believe,
I believe in love it's all that we have left
The cross you wear
The lips that swear
The heart that tears apart
The do's and dare's
The troubled shared
The pain that causes want
The arm of flesh
The kiss of death
The infant sings of ressurect
Eyes that lust
Love waxed in rust
Finally rest in earth's sweet dust
Bless the ones who persucute
Love those who hate you
Bless the ones who persecute
Love those who hate you
Who are the enemies of the cross
And who finds it a stumbling block
Who can endure despising and shame
On the instrument of pain
Promises kept and Jesus wept
All four corners have been swept
To each his own
We should have known
That father God would call his children home
Bless the ones who persucute
Love those who hate you
Bless the ones who persecute
Love those who hate you
Bless the ones who persucute
Love those who hate you
Bless the ones who persecute
Love those who hate you
Bless the ones who persecute
Love those who hate you
You are my deliberate infectious
You are my confessed and addiction
You are my welcomed restriction
You are my damaged contradiction
You are my self induced affliction
You are my septic convictions
You are my unsaved thoughts
Now I got to let you go
There is one answer there? s one touch
Salvation is on your tongue
There is one answer there? s one touch
So don? t you ever come undone
Take the medication
If it makes you pray
Take the medication
If it makes you stay
Take the medication
There? s no other way
Take the medication
If it dulls the pain
JESUS IS KNOCKIN' ON THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART TODAY

Minds of wrath are rising within
When the worlds were framed
I was standing there
The things that are seen were not made
Of things which do appear
In the desert of my mind in the in-part realm of time
At the Place of the Skull count all my bones
In the valley of decision on the island of despair
Cut off my way of thinking I will see you there
Remember when I was larger than life; everyone wanted a piece of me
You stood there right there in line to take your cheap shots hurting me
What if I came back? And the lights were brighter than before?
You are in denial
Cause I'm the King of the World!
That's the best I expect to do
Is to walk all over you
Every drop of sweat that pours from my skin is the salt of my soul
You don't expect me to trust, eyes as black as coal
I'm going to fly through the crack in the sky
Through the hole in the sun
To the center of the earth
I'll never be outdone
You wanna know why the change when everybody knows my name
Don't you worry your not to blame I just can't remain the same
Do you believe in torment?
I'm the touchstone of your soul
I just can't believe
Everybody knows my name, everybody wants the fame
Everybody wants to see, everybody wants a piece of me
Everybody wants the fun, everybody sees the gun
Everybody be so kind, still got my piece of mind
Everybody knows my name
Everybody can you feel my pain
I was born a poor boy, left home when I was four
Momma never named me so I never was for sure
I learned to read enough to know life was not so kind
All I own is my guitar and my peace of mind
I went out into the world to find my place in life
I'm learning more every day surviving really bites
They ask me for a line of coke, needles, knives and guns
I said to myself I've fund home cause this place sounds like fun
Everybody knows my name, everybody play the game
Everybody wants the fame, everybody knows my name
I've seen holy rollers, midnight strollers, cops shake with fear I've seen high heels clicking, red lipstick, blood, sweat and tears I've read about a man who died on a cross for everybody's sins if you want to make a change you've got to put your faith in him I've seen the limelight in new your city I've seen the rainbow in Hollywood walked the streets of London England the streets of gold look so good
I voted for their politicians
I've seen all the dirty religions
I wore their three piece suits
But I did not wear their army boots
I didn't fire the guns of war
Never knew what we were fighting for
Everybody wants the fame
You are my deliberate infectious
You are my confessed and addiction
You are my welcomed restriction
You are my damaged contradiction
You are my self induced affliction
You are my septic convictions
You are my unsaved thoughts
Now I got to let you go
There is one answer there? s one touch
Salvation is on your tongue
There is one answer there? s one touch
So don? t you ever come undone
Take the medication
If it makes you pray
Take the medication
If it makes you stay
Take the medication
There? s no other way
Take the medication
Give me a convertible and a girl in a white dress
Faster she says, I like that the best
Radio playing all her favorite tunes
Honey from her lips like sweet perfume
I may be an outlaw, no rope around my neck
Shoot my way out, some lipstick and a stacked deck
Riding in the dark, kissing in the rain
Protect my reputation by changing my name
Chorus
I'm the devil if you want to loose your freedom
I'm the devil If you have nothing to loose
I'm the devil If you want it all now
I'm the devil Come here and take it
A burning cigarette and an ashtray full of tears
Through cold bourbon glass
She can see her worst fears
I sit there burning on the feverish lie
You'll find no truth in my distant eye
If you can't go all the way, then don't even start
Cause when you take my hand
You'll slide me your heart
I'm the wild horse that can't be tamed
Picture Postcard that can't be framed
Come and take my hand everybody can
Mothers hide your babies
Teach your children what the good book says
Righteous Never forsaken
One slot machine one stop light town
And if Jesus came back tonight
To every story there are two sides
If you walk with the devil he'll tell you a lie
Rolls Royce coming through the air (I'm Nobodies Hero)
I hope that I will see you there< (I'm Nobodies Hero)
Hit the ground running on the streets of gold (I'm Nobodies Hero)
Gotta make time for the President's soul (I'm Nobodies Hero)
Never believed in the music
The way I believe in you
Never been a lover, always been a fighter (I'm Nobodies Hero)
Fought all my life trying to find love (I'm Nobodies Hero)
Love of Many Shall Wax Cold (I'm Nobodies Hero)
What I do I do alone (I'm Nobodies Hero)
Never believed in the music
the way I believe in you
Desires, Fears, My doubts, My tears
My Joys, My Loves, To him above
My anguish My lust The skeletons I dust
I've walked through the valley of dry bones (I'm Nobodies Hero)
I was brushed by the shadow of the holy ghost (I'm Nobodies Hero)
I've greased leprosy through my hair (I'm Nobodies Hero)
And felt a rushing mighty wind (I'm Nobodies Hero)
To All my critics the cynics who want me want to go away
What keeps me going why don't I quit?
I'm not a looser like you a reviewer like you
A liar or a hypocrite like you
I'm not a frustrated beaten musician like you
I would rather be a Has Been than a Never Was
The public is funny
They love you one minute
In the same breath, they hate you your old news
Then they beg you to play old school
Then they want it back like it was / what to do?
Like before, they get bored; keep score, your ignored, strike a chord
The cycle is you reward.
Then they hate you again, then they hate you again
They buy God they sell God, I'm numb
Baby Jesus Love Dolls, Everybody wants one
They rob God, create God I'm numb
I dropped the BOMB!
These are my words
That make you burn, that cleanses your soul that wakes the dead
The same fire you condemn me in, I've been baptized in,
Purged in, matured in, not hurt by, been blessed by, been purified
Just because you don't understand me, Don't mean I ain't justified
Maybe you have a learning disability I am sanctified
You wouldn't come to me when you had a problem with me
You took it to the press, like all the rest
To the promoters, my manager
even my mom, You created a mess
If your life is so redundant, so boring so routine, so bland,
Uninspired, that you got to invade mine,
Get into my affairs, infiltrate my beliefs
Get out of me, away from me,
Stop terrorizing me
Watcha you wanna email me, rail on me, accuse me, cut down on me
I give my heart to you; I'm not your therapist
You say I'm in sin, you judge me,
you stone me I can't help it if you are blind; you act like you own me
I preach the same Christ, the same grace, the blood saves,
abundantly above all that we ask or think, freely,
don't grieve me, Pain me with self righteousness
You won't be there to cry with me,
You won't be there to bleed with me,
You won't be there to rise with me;
Incarcerated in mortality
Until we give up the ghost
Languishing over morality
The flesh we love the most
The soul incased in prison
Encircled within our minds
The conscience strains to listen
The ticking hands of time
Expression, confession I can't wait
Expression, confession I can't wait
Incriminated abandoned
Upon the blasted plains
Without hope in this life
God in the flesh came
Justice and the law
Established to condemn
Holy Spirit sent
To convict the heart of sin
Expression, confession I can't wait
Expression, confession I can't wait
I swear you live your life
Like your going to live forever
Actions of a natural man
We all meet there together
I never put any faith in this life
And the countdown begins
The Day turns to Night
Voices from the earth
Say don't come to this place
don't come to this place
don't come to this place
If plowshares could speak and the lost seek
They would find themselves together
When the new world comes the face of the sun
New wine for all the pain
I know you will catch me when I cannot see
I've walked in these shoes up to my knees
I've birthed a mountain that is had to climb
Weary well doing I will make the time
Chorus
I'm the one
I'm the one
That is what I've become
I'm The One
I'm the one
Verse
Heart and mustard seed Faith is to believe
I dig in the dirt my hands bleed
If answers is why we pray
Let us bow our heads today
Drinking coffee from a cup three days old
Looking for an antibody, toxin a miracle drug
The life inside has lost human rights
It's a legal crime it's an issue of life
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end
WHAT? Your body is the temple (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
WHAT? You are not your own (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
HOPE! Maketh not ashamed (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
I KNOW! For He dwells in me (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
WHAT? Your body is the temple (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
WHAT? You are not your own (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
HOPE! Maketh not ashamed (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
I KNOW! For He dwells in me (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
Politics are assassins doctors dig the graves
Partial birth abortions my Jesus saves
He came to give life give it abundantly
Activist abuse freedom executes liberally
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end
WHAT? Your body is the temple (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
WHAT? You are not your own (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
HOPE! Maketh not ashamed (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
I KNOW! For He dwells in me (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
WHAT? Your body is the temple (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
WHAT? You are not your own (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
HOPE! Maketh not ashamed (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
I KNOW! For He dwells in me (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
You label them embryo call them fetus
Practice of a humanist made in his image
Hardness of the heart reprobate mind
Malignant intentions bingeing on the lie
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end
WHAT? Your body is the temple (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
WHAT? You are not your own (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
HOPE! Maketh not ashamed (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
I KNOW! For He dwells in me (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
WHAT? Your body is the temple (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
WHAT? You are not your own (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
HOPE! Maketh not ashamed (Everybody listen got to tell you something)
My mind works all the time is that why your afraid of me
Or is it my tattoo's you can't help but to see
They say that I am complex Don't believe everything I read
And sometimes it is hard to explain all that I have seen
I don't smile for pictures, my success is overdone
God watches over me I am the fortunate one
Give me wings of angels Rise above self righteousness
There is only so much of this world my soul can digest
Chorus
It only hurts when I laugh
You can look a man dead in the eye
See deep within his soul
You can walk a mile in his shoes
And never know all he knows
Verse
My songs aren't always perfect cause the truth it sometimes hurts And even though it is painful, you know all the words I've learned to shut the world out and to let the spirit in It's only when I'm honest that miracles begin
The city of the dead is full of exhibitionists
Dancing in the streets in their bones
The hounds have the scent and they're on the trail
Chase them into the cave where darkness dwells
If my sin remains I have chosen my god
Choose this day who you will serve
As for me and my house
We will serve the Lord
From high lofty window tops you see
Peering through the oil and scum
Praying the door is locked
They see the chase below through the avenue
And you think those bones look like you
The dead are all around in a state of decay
And you are safe in a secret place
Not of things you've earned or deserve
But you have been called out of this world
They're walking closer to the center of the earth
All along they think they're exploring the universe
They'll never prove that God doesn't exist
We are the people
We are the people
We are the people
We are the people
My God is a God of war and peace
We battle the lies spreading of the disease
My life is a sacrifice that's why I see
You are either for or against me
I am the saint that broke the curse
I am the monk of a thousand births
We are the people
We are the people
We are the people
We are the people
I am a man of complexities
I pray that you see the Christ inside of me
I am the storm clouds full of rain
Heaven will open and you can't contain
Fireball coming right out of the sky
See the glow light in my eyes
You swear that we're all going to die
I want peace in my life
But there's always a sword
The child in me
Has become a man of war
It's not flesh and blood
It's forces unseen
I'm carried to higher places
Than I've ever been
I will not fear
What man can do
Survival is a painful toil
Give me strength to see it through
I found God
I want you to know
I found God
Where He leads, I will follow
What He pours, I will swallow
When He twists, I will bend
All my trust in Him
My tears have been my meat
Deep calls unto the deep
Fill my wanting mouth
With good things renewed
In the Garden of Indecision
I have no apprehension
It's obvious what the world wants
To wipe away God's fingerprints in all his intellect
To know divine authority exist
No accountability or reason to repent
Man is not thankful in their futility
They imagine themselves to be wise
Their foolish hearts are full of darkness
They don't see the power of the cross is life
God's Human Oddities
Live for the flesh embraced until the end
Mortify the deed of the flesh (die in the end)
Why do you deny the existence of love?
Say no one looks down (on you) from above
To be free of God is to not be free at all
The night is alive
It calls out your name
Say your prayer
To ease your pain
I try to hold on one more day
I pray the vision will fade away
So afraid to close my eyes
I don't want to die
No more nightmares
No more crime
No more nightmares
No more bedtime
All the children seem alone
Crying in the night
Dry your eyes
Love is alive
It seems the time is forever slipping by
And i wonder how much time we really have
With destruction in our way, will there be another day
I can still sweet Louise standing there
Like a child she whispers softly to me
She comes to me, I swear, I close my eyes
I still see sweet Louise
I hear the songs she used to sing
Her voice sounds so real to me
Tell me it's not a dream, my heart is strange
Like it used to feel with sweet Louise
Sweet Louise, she's still with me
Even though she's gone
Sweet Louise, she's part of me
She lives in my songs
The door opened and closed
And no one knows
Our secret place
Where memories are safe
No one can move me like she did
No one can touch me like she did
On a rainy night how we cried
I held her and and I kissed her goodbye
I can see you up in heaven looking down at me
Make the dark clouds disappear
There can never be a love so sweet
She left this world without a tear
The door opened and closed I know
THERE'S A PLACE I'D LIKE TO GO BACK TO
TIME SEEMS TO STAND STILL
WE RAN WILD, WE HAD NO CARES
TAKE ME BACK TO THAT PLACE
I WISH THERE WAS A DOOR THAT I COULD WALK RIGHT THROUGH
TO ESCAPE THIS LIFE
I WANT TO GO BACK TO WHAT WE HAD,
TIMES WERE BETTER THEN
I MISS THE RAIN, I MISS THE RAIN
MY HEART'S BEEN DRY LIKE THE TEAR IN MY EYE
I'VE BEEN HURTING FOR YOU AGAIN
I MISS THE RAIN, I MISS THE RAIN
MY HEART'S BEEN DRY LIKE THE TEAR IN MY EYE
AND THE PAIN THAT I FEEL, LORD I MISS THE RAIN
IT KEEPS ME YOUNG WHEN I REMEMBER
IN MY MIND THE PAST STILL LIVES
I'VE HELD ON TO EVERY THOUGHT,
IT KEEPS ME SO ALIVE
THE FUTURE HOLDS NOTHING FOR ME
IF I CAN'T HOLD YOU
I USED TO TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD,
NOW I CHANGE A LITTLE FOR MYSELF
I KNOW THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE FAR SADDER THAN I
THEY LOST THINGS THEY CAN'T REPLACE
LIKE THE BEAUTY IN THEIR EYES
BUT THROUGH IT ALL ONE THING IS CONSTANT AND REMAINS
Hide away hell City of cardboard boxes
Lost their hope Look what it has cost us
Sleeping in the alleys, Eating from the garbage cans
At night their cold They need a helping hand
their hunger is deep, No money to their name
Environment controls them It only brings them pain
Suffocated and lonely, painting the roses red
If they knew what we had planted, we might just loose our heads
Pre-Chorus
hanging them for murder when they don't own a gun
Their sentenced to death before the trials begun
Chorus
Let's show them some compassion
Let's show them that we care
Lets show the some compassion
Help them breath the air
When people are divided you know they can't stand
Let's Stand and be united, and save this promised land
The garbage is piled high from with out and within
JESUS IS KNOCKIN' ON THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART TODAY

I don't like what I hear
That you're going to be leaving
That you are going away
Don't leave me comfortless
If you save your life
You will lose it
Lose your life
And find it
(NEVER BE ASHAMED)
Send back Your spirit
To speak of You
A new peace the world won't find
A New Hope of love in time
Left us Your peace
We will abide in You
The world will hate us
'Cause it hated You
What will we do?
Once You have gone
We will miss You
Where will You go?
Gain the whole world
And lose your soul
Deny yourself
we all have a heart to segregate
is that why she jumped from the golden gate
like a stunt gone bad she didn't walk away
what's going on here, i think i've got something to say
some things never change
like the feelings that you know i can't explain
she said she couldn't wait for the light to come
she had plenty of time, now look what she has done
she said she felt sick, daddy could get her high
i believe he gave her just one last ride
there is nothing in this world we can't overcome
god have mercy on the things he has done
news man say there's rioting in the streets
a ten year old boy has a smoking gun at his feet
carol ann climbed to the top of the bridge flying high
felt her soul vandalized, so she took her last dive
homicide, suicide, our heroes become so weak
povery, bended knee, love is what you need
drug abuse, no excuse, cause we know the facts
i know it's hard cause they try to break your back
i believe in incarnation, virgin birth and jubilation
i beilve in restoration, eternal life and celebration
spirit filled intoxication, it is not imagination
genesis and revelation, pray for his acceleration
don't believe in suffocation,
can't you hear my demonstration
not brainwashed indoctrination,
give us strength in tribulation
knows our thoughts and situations,
there's one hope and one salvation
it is for our generation,
I will not go mental
when you spit in my face
There's no reason for your violence
or this war you wage
You've never seen me panic
When your living life enraged
I can't say that you are in control
while your banging on your cage
And the devil burns in the pits today
Forever seems like a short time in the grave
All my sins are purged away
And the devil burns in the pits today
I know what its like to burn
I'm in flames every day
Are you still afraid of me?
Cause I can feel your pain
Judge nothing before the time
Until the good Lord comes
Brings to light the hidden things
No body's getting in, nobodies getting' out
We got a live bomb and were going to blow the house
AK-47 thanks be to Kalashnikov
Bang, bang bang and were going to get off
Ghetto bird be flying heat wave to bail out
somebody get the bank cause the berries round about
One last blast then we'll gauge hardcore
Everybody lights out like a Nyquil score
We going to knuckle up cause the Jakes bring war
Cause the wrecking crew come knock'n down the door
Following the cloud for foo foo stuff
It ain't no secret we be headin' for a bust
Whose that humming upon my blindside
better drop the sack chaser only there for the ride
Somebody getting' killed from that sewer in her vein
She was a thirst monster now she's gothic insane
How can I reveal Jesus livin in me?
How can I reveal?
Can't take another dusting cause the egg is going to crack
Devil's got dandruff got her nose to the grind
She's in the boneyard with the dead presidents
Somebody get a shovel and find out where she went
If she's with the funky drummer we need an exorcist
GTA---MPV Alpine bliss.
She says OH Sweet Jesus don't need no Holy Oil
Been a bumrush dreamer while taking her stroll
Her author babysat with a B-40 lit.
Show and prove no grease couldn't scrap a lick
I know the the PJ's the plats and the plays
cause I met'm in Sweden right behind the stage
63 Impala speckled for explosion
Dippin' to the get off house, three wheel motion
Top Fuel buck 50 with a finger on the trigger
Hop on the side of the free world grave diggers
How can I reveal Jesus livin in me?
How can I reveal?
Kick Artist jump the knocker nothing but a shife
He ain't no trill he just quacking bout a knife
junkie give me just a minute to make a long story short
Widow makers zeroed at the basketball court
No body had been capped no body had been killed
And in the end there was no blood spilled
Chillin' with the clique got the mad hops jaming
Psychin' out the gangstas with the base line slamin
Who is that punk with the three point shot?
It's the reverend from the church sultan of swish and swat
He had come correct he was reel to reel
He had been redrum in his past life devil
Now he be preachin' to get men saved
The Word stopped the game they begin to pray
Down on their knees at the half court line
They accepted Jesus for they ran out of time
How can I reveal Jesus livin in me?
How can I reveal?
Get down for me,
He died as me
Get down for me,
He died as me
Get down for me,
He died as me
Get down for me,
He died as me
Get down for me,
He died as me
Get down for me,
He died as me
Get down for me,
He died as me
Get down for me,
Wired on the slam of crank
Don't you hang up the phone!
Internal conflict riddles my brain
Think I'll blow my head off
Wired with a meth cook
9 mm inoculation
Lift me higher take my breath
Who'll deliver me from this body of death?
Using me up to the bitter end
Using me up to the bitter end
Death is naked before God
Destruction lies uncovered
Brings all things to the light
Over and over and over
Paranoid and lab aware
Butane Tunnel Red phosphorous glow
Fist full of bees watch the children change
Don't anybody speak English in the grave
When you come to collect my body
Watch for the trip wires cyanide loaded
Cristina baby I'm sittin' on a bomb
I'm the Crypto boy in the mutant mob
Using me up to the bitter end
Using me up to the bitter end
Death is naked before God
Destruction lies uncovered
Brings all things to the light
Over and over and over
How do you like me now?
Bet you wish you stayed near the cross
As long as I have life in me
Got to get off that movie star stuff
Wired on the slam of crank
Don't you hang up the phone!
Internal conflict riddles my brain
Think I'll blow my head off
Using me up to the bitter end
Using me up to the bitter end
I'm a God with spoon and syringe This is where the pain ascends
I'm a God with spoon and syringe The world of darkness where death begins
I'm a God with spoon and syringe Chalk one up and let's pretend
American badge Caucasian white
A new minority a new chalk line
White media is not on our side
Hollywood stands beautified
We? ve kept our mouths shut let is slide
Our homeland has been occupied
You get what you get and that? s all there is
Do nothing at all if that? s how you want to live
Some don? t believe they just deny it
Hard to kick against the pricks
Gnashing of the teeth
Inferno in your head
Hard to kick against
Equality, no color, no fairness act or race
Open your eyes we are all the same
There ain? t no white heaven, ain? t no black hell
There? s only Christ and he? s not for sale
Parasites and demons don? t believe in either one
I? ve never been afraid of what I? ve become
Following the screams and the smell of fear
No more curse in the Universe
No more death in the Universe
No more hell in the Universe
No more sin in the Universe
Won't cast off forever, won't leave my soul in hell
Won't cast off forever, won't leave my soul in hell
Not maybe, not some not a few
Not maybe, not some not a few
He above All, through All and in you All
He above All, through All and in you All
He above All, through All and in you All
He above All, through All and in you All
Free gift came upon all men
Shall be saved yet so by fire
Grace abounds Worm is dead
They shall see and understand
All concluded in unbelief
No condemnation cleansed by blood
Consigned all men disobedience
I didn't choose this face
Or this shell of skin I'm trapped in
You're not worthy to loose my shoes
You don't know where they've been
I am my own enemy
I will lie to myself
I will talk to God
But He won't talk to me
I want no sin, I want no fear
No sting of conscience, no care of death
I want peace, not as the world gives
Tomorrow makes no sense
Only Jesus sees my heart
My hope is that He knows my mind
He will bring me out of this
If I can scratch the crust from my eyes
Inflict my own wounds
Torture my own soul
I choose to be the beggar
