1.
Walking fast through the trees Need a shelter, I pass though quickly See the clouds block out the sun I see the storm, I start to run Up ahead I see a place I can use to hide Windy leaves brush against me Oh, darkness pass me by Master come down unto me Let my cup be filled with mercy I have done nearly everything I can do Jesus protect me From the storm raging through the trees I have done everything That I know to do The winds get stronger still I feel the chill A cold and biting wind Hurried feet clamour near I hear the screams of the dead Oh God! Is this the end? I hide my face in my hidden place I hear the deafening sound Filled with rage The wind cuts down All the trees to the ground Stand up all alone Look around at the scattered bone I survived, don't know how I did But I'm here I prayed, I called out his name And he heard, heard my screaming words I wept, feel down to my knees As the sky went clear
2.
Out in the dark, alone I call your name Try to find my way home But no one knows My face in this place Where will I roam? I am a tormented soul Long deceased and alone Scarred, battered, and cold This place has shattered me whole I'm longing, I need to be seen Why won't you notice me? See me bleeding? I am not Don't have an original thought All I see is darkness before me I am so afraid Don't know how I got this way Oh, who led me astray? Alone in the dark I must stay
3.
New Day 03:41
I will rise up Past the darkness That surrounds me That confounds me I will rise up To meet the new day No more darkness No more night here I'm so tired Of all my fear I will rise up To meet the new day Jesus, come deliver me from this night I long to see your face, to stand in the light This night has gone on too long and I bleed I need the new day to light upon me In the darkness I was blind Couldn't see ahead or behind Stumbled, fell down to my knees I cried out, "Help me, please!" Then, like a powerful storm He came, He came The winds blew the darkness far away I was restored, I was given a new name I am the light, I am the day Here I am, sword in my hand as I pray Power is mine, it is a new day Armored up I fight and I win The mountains will fall but I forever remain
4.
On the corner, between destruction and fear I live on the path that I hold so dear Though they try to dissuade me I have my course, my destiny My direction, I run with speed No walls or barriers can resist me Powerful I am and onward I go My path is the straight and narrow With all my heart I run to thee As strong as the tides might be No wind or wave can slow me down No one can bring my defeat I am and I am here No more time to surrender to fear On my side or back away The path is set There's only one way today, today With all my heart I run to thee As strong as the tides might be No wind or wave can slow me down No one can bring my defeat With all my heart I run to thee With all my heart I run to thee With all my heart I run to thee With all my heart I run to thee
5.
The hatter at the head Of the banquet that is spread "I have all you need Come and eat," he says Cold pleasure as he grins To offer you a seat At the table of death To partake of the feast The wicked walk a wicked road One foot in the grave Cowards miss their mark Life is only for the brave Round and round it spins The masquerade never ends The vampires of fame live their lives on the screen To project an idea: an image to be seen Life and death The fruit of the tree Choices to be made Be bound or be free The bridges are burned Power to the low The city is falling down Ashes will burn No one knows what time it is But the bells are tolling for us As the bells toll, the chosen know Where this long road goes We know the choices we make And we know which paths to take We know our blood will stain the streets So must it be So must it be I am not afraid I am not ashamed For I am free
6.
My people listen well This is a warning: a tale to tell So, listen and learn, lest you be left behind For the hour is drawing nigh This land forsaken The rocks cry out The birds will be fat From the flesh of kings Their wings will not lift them So much they will eat Forsaken land, the smoke blacks the sky Smoke of their torment, their city has died Kneel down and weep, you merchants and theives This is what you asked for, you built this machine Oh, the birds they know Which way the four winds blow The hour of death is near at hand Escape the curse of this forsaken land Run for your life Get away from here This city is fallen So, be nowhere near Cry out to your idols I'm sure they'll hear The worms will devour So black is the fear
7.
Cross through the gate it's almost too late Sky turning black No turning back No, no turning back No turning back this time Wind is at my back Hour to attack has arrived No power they hold A fire burning cold Towers will fall Omega I call There's no turning back The hour is now The call of the trumpet Preparing to sound There's no turning back The hour is now The walls of the city Will come crashing down Your city's coming down What have you done? Don't stare at the sun Vision will turn to black There's no turning back There's no turning back
8.
In my room she softly slips Scarlet blood stains her lips Pretty smile is her disguise And her eyes can hypnotize She'll rape your heart and eat it whole She'll invade your dreams and steal your soul She'll bind you up and tear you down In her chains you'll be bound... Be careful little ones Heed not her call If you heed her, little ones she'll make you nothing at all Beware her web, She comes to seduce and she does it well Resist the devil and she will flee Don't open your door, you don't know what it means "Come in my parlor," said the spider to the fly, "It'll only take a minute, I have sweet things inside," What happens to the fly in her web? It's life is drained and left a shell She'll sing, "La, la, la, la, la, la, la. Follow me I have all that you want." But, if you chase the fleeting whore Remember that you have been warned! You've been warned. Down into hell she will drag you down with her Loose all those chains lest you forever inhabit the dirt There's no return There's no return from her
9.
Free from this prison I'm in Trapped in a box of my making Give me the key to make this all end I am a soul that needs saving Shining light Came unto me Power in tongue Set me free The flame was lit And I could see I am finally free of my torment Entered through the shining door He loosed the chains And I am bound no more Salvation is not out of reach Find the door repent and seek Seek him early don't hesitate Before the hour is too late
10.
Effect 02:49
My words have an effect They can make the mountains move Shake the tallest tree Or rip the sky in two I speak a single word The enemy shall fall Power in Jesus' name Oh, I will beat them all So, watch out Be careful what you say Cause you never know What the effect will be Where it will go In whose ear it will grow In whose heart did you sow And you planted the seed You caused it to be So be careful, oh children An effect can be strong A weak moment in time Can lead somebody wrong The word is power The voice is truth Bad seeds easily planted Are not easily removed So, watch out Be careful what you say You never know What the effect will be Where it will go In whose ear it will grow In whose heart did you sow And you planted the seed You caused it to be!
11.
Standing there confused at the crossroads Not sure which way to go Many decisions to be made Many directions, many ways Keep your eyes on the road Cause bottomless holes Don't look that deep From the edge Time is the sand Slipping through your hands And the hours are precious Do with them all you can Every action has a cost A choice to make What is your destination The path you take Many decisions to be made Life's a journey and a maze Don't be discouraged Look and see Lies will bind The truth will free At the end of the road The truth will be told Many decisions within Where will you stand in the end?
12.
A child I was when I was young I had someone to hold my hand Then, one day, I put my toys away Stood up and became a man Took up my cross, and my burden, Shod my feet and I went Walked the path, kept moving forward I knew my task was Heaven sent Standing at the threshold Sword in my hand Take a breath and bravely go A child no more, I am a man Heavy cross, burden to bear Hidden pain down deep inside Summon strength in my despair I'm not weak, I will not hide Going toward the day of reckoning I know I will surely die But as I a man I keep going Unlike a child I will not hide Stand up tall and face you burden If you believe you will be tried Put away your wicked playthings Get on your horse, go forth, and ride
13.
It is a trail of tears A place inhabited by all your fears The shadows cast over the broken land The road is dark, so take my hand A trail of tears it is Bitter, bloody pain Sorrow upon sorrow Froze in the pouring rain Death rules on high His intentions are clear Suffering and sorrow Despair and fear I warn you now, the taste is bitter The road is long and hard Whispered secrets, hidden daggers Smiles are twisted scars We walk down a trail of tears Death stalks us very near We pass through the valley of the dead The bones are still broken, bloody and red It is a trail of tears A place inhabited by all your fears Shadows cast over the broken land The road is dark, so take my hand
14.
It's arrogant to say, "I know what lies ahead" You really do not know What waits around the bend Life is a mystery Hid where you can't see Past the veil of time How can you know what lies On the other side Of today? Around the corner Who knows what waits? It may the sunshine Or a black, bitter rain Forward up ahead The road it curves around Carefully I move Prepared to stand my ground So blind, I can't see What has to be Around the corner Despair and horror Prepare for war We'll kick in Death's door There's no time to hold back The coming attack All I know All I see Is darkness Before me
15.
Hard Journey 07:00
Battered and bloody Beaten and scarred Is this the finish line Or is this just the start? Welts on my fingers My hands are bleeding bad Have my course before me I can't think to turn back Such a hard journey before me I cried my tears and fed my fears Such a hard journey before me I've travelled it all of these years Weeping cries of my brothers Echo into my bad dreams Feel the fear of the slaughtered Nothing is what it ought to be Unraveled in time My eyes have been blind The stars in the sky Descend down the spiral Fearful the hour Sand is all gone This is the contract We agreed upon Enter the night (enter the night) The journey's a fight (journey's a fight) Nothing but tears (nothing but tears) Until the dawn The journey is hard (journey is hard) The battle is long (battle is long) But the battle unfought (battle unfought) Is unwon Time, how it rushes by Leaving all us behind In it's wake No one knows the hour How long must we wait? How long must we wait? How long must we wait? Such a hard journey before me I cried my tears and fed my fears Such a hard journey before me Travelled it all of these years Hear the cries of my brothers Echo into my bad dreams I hear the screams of the slaughtered Nothing is what it ought to be At the edge of the road I stand at the gate of death My time has come To breathe my last breath It's been a hard journey Full of sorrow and dread And though I will die I will not stay dead It's been a hard journey
16.
Searching 03:27
Is this what I'm supposed to do Is the course I should take Is this where you want me to go Or have I made a mistake I am searching for you I am lost in space So lead me to the door So I can see your face I am so afraid and so alone I see the shadows start to move I am so very afraid I am searching for you...
17.
Hurry 03:40
Tick-tock tick-tock Time's running out on the clock Hurry and run to save your soul Don't look back, lift your feet and go Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Night is close and you should worry Time is short and hours go by The sun is setting in the sky So run as fast as your feet can fly Toward the door, leave all else behind Go now! What are you waiting for? Don't get locked outside the door Don't stop and smell the flowers Don't fritter away all of your hours The time is slipping away Today could be the day Today should be the day So run as fast as you can! Run now, mortal man! Your hour is almost up! Run through the door before it is shut!
18.
I am a burning fire Hot to touch and bright Warning to the wise Do not touch this light A prophet sent forth With a holy word I have answers hid Deep within my tongue Don't prohibit me Don't stand in my way If you lay a hand You'll be burned away They encamp about me You think you're hidden well I see you there behind A translucent veil Do not touch me Do not touch me If you touch me you'll get burned Back away now Back away now Into the shadows I know where you live In the darkness, in the darkness So stay there, in the shadows This light is more than you know So the hour you've dreaded For all of your life is finally upon you Your worst nightmares are standing At your door Never fear for He's near and if you know him You know he will save you If you don't know him Then, I don't have what you're looking for
19.
Cracked 04:08
My cracked little heart Cannot contain Can't feel the sun Only the pain The shadows shiver With me in the rain Of the black cloud In darkness I remain My hollow little heart Been bent and broken Trapped in the cold wind Longing, forsaken My heart's been cracked There's no turning back for me Like a panic attack Or the broken leaves Now, I'm sold into the arms Of the dreadful king Steel horns on his head I feel them piercing me And my body shakes Too much to take I can't escape This pain I feel My heart's been cracked No going back for me Like a panic attack I scream I scream I scream I scream
20.
In the valley I was lost In darkness I was bound But then I saw the light No longer lost, I was found In the dark I was bound Trapped and locked away And for many years There I had to stay Locked in my chains Of sorrow and pain But I finally found The key to my escape And I called his name I've been lost but I am found Broke the chains that had me bound Fall! Fall! Fall! Fall to your knees! There is nowhere left to retreat We will win! We will win! We will never taste defeat Death catches up to every soul Time is fleeting but the choice is old Hurry now, quickly choose Before the choice is made for you The hour is here Overshadowing you The hour is here You have to choose Will you be lost forever more Or will you find heaven's door?
21.
Altered my mind at the altar of mind Changed what's inside of me Color twisted, shattered, blind I am what I see on the screen No one told me who I was, But now I know who I can be I saw my self through the screen Reaching out to me Thoughts escape my dizzy mind With no identity Washed out, without a doubt I'm blank, my mind receeds I am you and you are me My reflection as seen on TV No one warned me, 1, 2, 3 Blinded eyes breed scripted dreams Master minded binding lies Left my heart to weep Stagnant magnet of the eye Patterned daydream sleep Red, green, blue No one has a clue Are you watching me Or am I watching you? As seen on TV Manifested destiny The eyes they do see The master is the screen
22.
The Light 03:51
In the beginning No one knew why There was nothing Only night Then, He came forth Set stars in the sky He spoke and said, "Let there be light" Omega come And end this show The hour is near I know, I know Shine in the dark Blinding their eyes Darkness can't understand why Broken and weak You lay there and moan You'll never find your way home Omega come forth and let it all end Let fall the towers of men Entangled in the lies So short is the time Surrender unto me All you that can The light shines bright No longer misunderstand So bound and confused Discarded and used That world of woe Tried to take me soul
23.
A Cold Place 04:39
My heart has been offered up I cast out my sanity Opened the autumn door Unlocked with harmony In the dark hour In a place so blank I shiver And call out your name Out in the dark woods I found something there Beneath the trees gathered A shining secret there This is a cold place Someone please help me Trapped there, despair Under the shady trees I am in a cold place No one can see the stolen smile on my face Oh, despair! I call thee my own Leave me there then I have nowhere to roam I am what I am And I am trapped here So leave me be No one even cares So I crawl now through the dark I call out to you A velvet voice through the microphone Starry song echoes through
24.
Just Ahead 04:51
In the distance I see it stand The door for which I've sought If I must make it crawling there I'll do so without a thought Tireless hours through the sand My life drifted away Nothing mattered, not at all Not until this day Just ahead, I see the door The freedom from this place Just ahead, I'm almost there So close to my escape As I approach the shining door I see the light grow strong In my bones I'm filled with strength My heart is filled with song I am he who will survive I am he who lives Because I have sacrificed My flesh upon this hill Just ahead I see the door The freedom from this place Just ahead, oh Jesus I'm so close to escape
25.
You can't stop me You can't stop me Spirit rises and conforms Spins inside like a storm I know you wanted me Desired me But I am free, I am free, I am free Stop now, I say, in Jesus' name Back away, back away, back away Climbing to the top I'll never stop Steel I am steel I am Reinforced Mission-bound A great rebuke unto thee Begone dark one from me I am free You'll never, never stop me You can't stop me! You can't stop me! You can't stop me! You can't stop me! You can't stop me! You can't stop me!
26.
I Cry 04:45
When I was young I laughed and played Such innocence, a child But then one day A man I became, But had lost my way Trials, hardship, life Had sent me astray Forgive me my sins Forgive me my sins I cry, I shout unto Does anybody listen? Sad, broken man Who does not understand I want to see Please, help me Please, help me! I cry, I cry, oooh, I cry, cry, I cry, Forgive me my sins Forgive me my sins My help comes from the Lord So it is, so it is I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry! I cry... I cry...
27.
I'm Tired 04:26
So far from my goal Already I am so old Want to sleep And the road ahead looks bleak A little sleep, a little slumber A little folding of the hands I am so tired And I don't how much I can stand My bones feel brittle And my head it spins Will I ever find rest again? My body is weak, but I keep walking ahead Must I keep going until I am dead? Oh what will I do? I'm so tired I cannot move And the enemy is right behind I scream, I cry No! I will not rest! I will march ahead until I die! I have my mission marked And I know the reason why! I'm so tired Sore vexed and worn I am so tired But the battle is not won So onward I go 'Til that last trumpet sounds I will not take rest Nor ever back down
28.
The spirit moves with mysterious word Tongue of anointment is so little heard I say to you what has been said before The hour is late, the wolf's at the door Open your eyes This world is not what it seems Darkness behind the veil Shrouded in mystery Ohh ohh Walk back and forth Accomplishing nothing Circling around In the towns and the fields Nothing matters at all if you don't Have a place to go when it's over Life has no point For the unsealed Time is a revelation A book flung open wide Look inside, look inside Look inside, look inside While it is open... Look with a spiritual eye Back up let this move Spirit tongue is in tune Time after time, no fear, no doubt Spiritual words pour from my mouth This is the end The end of time The hour's almost here Our redemption draweth nigh Prepare yourself for the hour And keep watch of the sky The moment's almost here When we begin to fly
29.
Remember 04:17
Remember the hour The reason why and how For they will try to take it away from you Try to hold onto The truth that you have found For they will try to take it away from you Remember, why and how Who are you? Who are you now? Keep the memory you've found Your time is here and now Falling down into the dream I've lost my fondest memory I am alone in my confusion Bound up in chains of disillusion Oh, who am I anymore? They have taken it from me Poisonous vine shattered the mind Hypnotized by the screen Remember, why and how Who are you? Who are you now? Keep the memory you've found Your time is here and now
30.
Golgotha 05:43
Down into the valley Carrying my cross Heading toward the day Promised... There, I will go! Death is not the end of the journey It is the escape for us Up to the hill called Golgotha To join my place in the dust Time is not a friend to the wicked The thieving hand that takes But there's only one way that this can end And the hour is getting so late Oh, Golgotha The time is soon I know the promise is real Awaiting the truth Oh, Golgotha The devil is in close pursuit I hide on the outskirts Knowing the truth Woe unto those who stand in my way With sword and flame you'll fall Power in tongue, the word in my mouth I call to thee! I call! Oh, Golgotha I know the time is soon I know the promise is real I have proof Oh, Golgotha The shadows are growing so long I hide in the outskirts Singing my song Up to the place called Golgotha I'll give up the ghost there I know I must lose my life Down into the valley of despair Oh Golgotha Through the valley of the bones I long to be free But to Golgotha I must go...
