In these barren lands I roam | The ground is dry, the sky is gray | A broken heart where there’s no home | Darkness fills my soul today | You’re my hope in this wasteland | You’re my God in this wasteland | Broken and crumbling, my heart is struggling | I am down on my knees in this wasteland | In the desert I feel alone | My skin is fried, vision a haze | Faith still solid like a stone | I know you’ll never leave my side

Soldiers marching into the street | Tensions rising – Get on your feet | Cast out all your insecurities | Wrap your heart and grace and purity | “Waiting for it to begin…” | Memories fade and faces change | Closer we come to the end of days | Ashes raining from a world before | As we’re falling further into war | “Waiting for it to begin…” | Ready for a war | Waiting for the fallout | Can’t deny it anymore | Beaten to the floor | Ready for a comeback | I’m not bleeding anymore | Soldiers fighting with blackest hearts as lightning flashes in their eyes | We fight to win this unholy war against the devil in disguise | Losing their ground but they don’t care | So blinded by the lies and fear | All the propaganda they create | No more hiding while they celebrate | “Sacrifices must be made for the greater good. All the children will be slaves before the day is done.” | Fight them hard; fight them fast – Don’t be afraid to run | ‘Cause in the end it’s God who reigns | Their lying days are done

“You ought to stop playing God… Because you are not good at it and the position is taken.” “What’s the matter with you? You’re acting like a self-appointed public avenger.” “We’re on the same side.”
The story is swaying | I hear what you’re saying, but haven’t been paying attention here | I’m hanging back leaning and you still come swinging ‘cause you hate the ringing scream in your ear | Down – you were always in my way of reaching out! Tripped up by your hand, you bring me down! | Heed this one suggestion: Don’t point and ask questions if your own confession is eating you | If my heart would harden, would you pay my pardon? | And maybe your garden needs weeding too…

Run

Step out on my own like I’ve just lost my way | And everything around me has gone up in flames | Instead of looking for the Truth I’m hiding in my shame | And I run just like I’ve lost my faith | And I run so far away | When I find that yesterday is all I had to live for | Run into escape | I find that tomorrow’s the same: Just another yesterday | Falling faster: drowning, drowning | Reaching outward: hoping, hoping | Looking forward, looking back | I’m keeping pace | And everything around me blurs into the haze | I’m focused on You, turning to You, trusting in Your ways | And I run just like I’ve found my faith

What would you profit to gain the whole world and lose your soul? | Final word | Marked decree | Minutes to catastrophe | Rise… rise… rise… rise (Stand up!) | Rise… rise… rise… rise… (Wake up!) | Stand on the edge of no return | In-between worlds, bound by the Word | Know who you are | Silence your fear | Baptized in blood, we persevere | Two steps forward, one step back | Dancing through the time we lack

With our lives on the line | As we’re running out of time | As the tables slowly turn | The world will burn | Waiting for the setback | Waiting for the signal | But they’re all so blind | And the world will collapse | As the hatred relapse | As the blood moon shines | Stars fall out of line | Power lies | We will not fade away | Strong are You | Praise Your Name till the end of days | Right is wrong and the wrong is right | Deceivers want to give but it’s hard to collect | Angels dance and sway as we wait for the day | Take us all away

Thirteenth time around and the arrogant are lost | They’re happy in their filth and angry at the Truth | So blinded | So hungry | So compromised | So empty | So angry | Utterly defiled | When the world falls apart, I will praise Your Name | I will not bow; I will not break | When the world falls apart, I will not conform | I will honor You | Your glory regins! | When the world falls apart, Your glory reigns! | Repeating history | “Progressive backslide” | Do I hide away or let the Light shine?

Inches of Veil

My feet move undaunted – blistered by the hard earth and stone | Your temple awaits me | Your glory I long to know | Though I know when I get there I will fall short of my quest | The curtain conceals you, despite trying my best | These inches of veil restrain me | I’m left short on the scales | I’ve traveled miles of earth now | Stopped by inches of veil… inches of veil | It’s an act of injustice | Iniquities this life must teach | I could not have tried harder but You remain out of my reach | Or is it an act of mercy? | What if I could span the gap and be found face-to-face with You, and (held) accountable for all that I lack | If allowed, I would humbly kneel at your veil and then place my hands on the curtain, holding it to my face | Longing to be with You | Longing to have You near | But aware You are Holy | In my shamefulness I fear

Oh God I feel like this again | Feel like I’ve reached an all-time low | How long till I get up this time? | Feels like I can’t move on at all | But You are my God | You say You’re here with me | I give You praise… I give You praise | My enemies despise Your ways | They hurl insults to my face | Iniquity is what they crave | They will go down in flames | You are my God | You say You’re here with me | I give You praise… I give You praise

Toil through the day | Cycle through the night | Slaving away | Every day the same | Every night complain | Slaving away | Everything is broken | Everything is hopeless | Everything will crumble | Everything is worthless | Time is running out for me | It’s bleeding hopelessly | I reach in vain to all my treasures | Time is focusing to You as all I have falls through | Remembering how fast this life fails | Waking up in pain | Back to work again | Accumulate | All this to what end? | As we all descend | Into the grave we decay | Always trying to escape this emptiness | Always feeling like there’s nothing left to give | Always living with the taste of bitterness | Why does everything seems so pointless? | MMoney, sex, power, and fame -they were all mine | Why does nothing ever seem to satisfy? | 80 short years are gone in the blink of an eye | Running for these things is blind
