Tracks



01. Never

What's it worth, what is the cost, sell myself, integrity lost
Keeping up with the trends, changing styles, it never ends
I was this but now I am that
Never me, deny my past
Selling out to the crowds, circle goes around and around to sellout, Sellout
In the Land of Never

Looking back on what was, then apologize to you my friend
Look at me, I'm the focus
Integrity is not for us
Sell more units to please the suits
Fill their pockets, forget the Truth
No matter what be on the charts
What's it worth and what is the cost to sellout,
Sellout
In the Land of Never
For a price go to the top, Sellout
In the Land of Never, Never

What's it worth - what is the cost
Sell myself, integrity lost
Keeping up with the trends, changing styles, it never ends
I was this but now I am that
Never me, deny my past
Selling out to the crowds, circle goes around and around to
Sellout, Sellout
In the Land of Never
For a price go to the top, Sellout
In the Land of Never, Never!

02. Mortal Stomp

How we do groan to be released from the confines of earthly mortality
To live is Christ to die is gain
We will be free from this earthly frame
Lord how we long to meet you in the air
The dead shall rise first, the living, death shall spare
Eternally changed, these cloths shall be shed Mortal Stomp,
The resurrection of the dead
Instantly changed to incorruption
Those who reject Him will taste separation
The ground it shall open (and) awaken those who sleep
The earth in birth pains shall give up her deceased
Spirit and body will be reunited
Death has lost it's sting, the grave its victory
Eternally changed, these cloths shall be shed, Mortal Stomp,
The Resurrection of the dead.

Death, Separation, Life, Resurrection
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

We shall not sleep, but we shall be changed
In a moment the last trump shall sound
No more sickness and no more tears, no more pain and no more fears
This hope we hold will soon come to pass
Thanks be to God for the victory at last!
Eternally changed, these cloths shall be shed,
Mortal Stomp, the resurrection of the dead
Death, Separation, Life, Resurrection

How we do groan to be released from the confines of earthly mortality
To live is Christ to die is gain
We will be free from this earthly frame
Lord how we long to meet you in the air
The dead shall rise first, the living, death shall spare
Eternally changed, these cloths shall be shed
Mortal Stomp, the resurrection of the dead
Death, Separation, Life, Resurrection
Stomp! Stomp!

03. Scorn

Acidic words and words of hate
"Can't save himself, what a waste!"
Salt of scorn on open wounds hurled at Christ before the tomb
Verbal stones increase the pain,
Words pound the nails deep in his veins
What kind of person would mock the man on his death bed,
Blood stained hands
Forgiving words and words of life
Paint on the canvas of sacrifice
A prayer of forgiveness he said for me,
While his blood spilled out to set us free
Broke his body, couldn't kill his soul
"Into you hands I let my spirit go"
Three days later he rose again
Christ resurrected from the dead!
Mocked Whipped Scorn Death

In his pain no anger did he vent
This is why he came, why he was sent,
To give his life on Calvary to save a little wretch like me
Broke his body, couldn't kill his soul
"Into you hands I let my spirit go"
Three days later he rose again
Christ resurrected from the dead!
Mocked Whipped Scorn Death

04. Puppet Of Destruction

Death is all you know, in your life it shows,
You mock the cross and all who believe in it
Darkness is all you bring
It's a melody of evil to me
Singing of death and destruction
Profit from the blood of the lost
That is your desire
Think that Hell is all fun and games
Satan grips your soul, your life he will own
Our God will not be mocked!
Blind eyes aren't open
Lost without a purpose
Writing songs of hopelessness
Puppet of Destruction

Why can't you see your a puppet on a string
Satan pulls the strings and you follow him
What will you do when he turns his back on you
And the ones you think you control now control you
Blind eyes aren't open
Lost without a purpose
Writing songs of hopelessness
Puppet of Destruction

05. Gutterbox

Killer, killer, I know where you live
Action on the big screen
Vile, thriller, how much would you give
To see blood spill on the TV
Torture, torture, blood curdling scream
Hear it in stereo
Creepy, wicked, pulls out his knife
We do it all for show
Gutterbox! Do you think for your-
self or follow the box of deceit
Braindead! Can't believe all you see
A nation of lost sheep
Gutterbox! Garbage in garbage out,
that trash corrodes your mind
Braindead! Open up your eyes
before it robs you blind

Racist, racist, burning a cross,
What a killer show
Rapist, rapist, stalking his prey
How far will we go
Murder, murder, desensitize,
Over and over again
Twisting, warping, led to believe,
That your thoughts are your own
Gutterbox! Do you think for your-
Self or follow the box of deceit
Braindead! Can't believe all you see
A nation of lost sheep
Gutterbox! Garbage in garbage out, that trash corrodes your mind
Braindead! Open up your eyes
Before it robs you blind

06. Repentance

Rape the world of morality, desecrate our land
Obliterate a society
It's gotten out of hand
Sodomy a way of life, flaunted on TV
Learning nothing from our past
A blind eye just can't see
Prime time stars are criminals, gaining the spot light
Murderous philosophy
Innocent victimized
Lyrics fueled by all that's vile, sewing seeds of hate
Denying responsibility, our world has gone insane
Hey!

Repentance, forgiveness for the land
Repentance, His coming is at hand
Repentance, forgiveness in our land
Repentance, His judgment we will stand

Rape the world of morality, desecrate our land
Obliterate a society
It's gotten out of hand
In God we trust, our nation's creed
Repentance essential here
Seeds we sow will reap a harvest
The time is getting near

Repentance, forgiveness for the land
Repentance, His coming is at hand
Repentance, forgiveness in our land
Repentance, His judgment we will stand

07. World Of Sin

Destroy the body in a cruel word,
Pierce the flesh of the One who saved your soul
With a word, utter annihilation, in a breath bring total destruction
We are Christ's body here on the earth,
Strike only one the whole body feels the pain
We are not separate but together in unity
Christ our uniter, together let's praise His name
Praise his name! World! Of! Sin!

The tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity
Uncontrolled words, poison running free

Out of our mouth, a blessing and a curse
It's shameful pride, this just should not be
With our words, we are justified, with a word your soul will not die
Salvation is attained when you call upon the name of Jesus Christ,
I AM, He's still the same
World! Of! Sin!

The tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity
Uncontrolled words, poison running free

Diversity without unity is anarchy
Love for our neighbors that's how it ought to be
World! Of! Sin!

08. Crosshope

Hanging from the cross the greatest claim of man,
A carpenter who is God in the form of man
We've turned it upside down, burned and mocked it too
Can't deny it or prove that you're a fool
History revolves around this one event
One man changed the world, killed for our sins
You can't ignore the lumber that suspends the greatest truth,
Wood splintered by the nails that split the flesh in two
Hang it from our necks without a thought of why
Vicious form of slaughter, innocence on trial
It's tragedy attracts the sufferers and the shamed,
It's hope pulls in the searchers, the sick and the lame
The cross the center point on which our faith must rest
Christ crucified and risen, the firstfruits from the dead
You can't ignore the lumber that suspends the greatest truth,
Wood splintered by the nails that split the flesh in two
Cross Hope Cross Hope
From death comes life

Hanging from the cross the greatest claim of man,
A carpenter who is God in the form of man
We've turned it upside down, burned and mocked it too
Can't deny it or prove that you're a fool
History revolves around this one event
One man changed the world, killed for our sins
You can't ignore the lumber that suspends the greatest truth,
Wood splintered by the nails that split the flesh in two
Cross Hope Cross Hope
From death comes life

09. Conform To Reality

We live in a world that's topsy-turvy
Conscious seared and dead. Disintegration of morality
Politically correct instead
Conformity, Conformity,
Conform to reality, Conformity, Conformity

A standard there must be
Absolute truth a total mystery
What's it matter anyway,
When told that life is but an accident,
All thread of hope will fray
Conformity, Conformity,
Conform to reality, Conformity, Conformity

A standard there must be
Truth is not relative, it's defined by God.
If truth is not always the truth,
Foundations will crumble
Commands are given for our good, not to suppress your life
Without 'em we live in total chaos,
Time will prove me right
Conformity, Conformity,
Conform to reality,
Conformity, Conformity,
A standard there must be!

10. Charged / Power

In search for power no answer you will find when searching in Darkness, feeling around blind
Demon powers willing to let you think you rule till that fatal day when They will rule you

Strength of steel is fleeting no power in that scene
Humanity is weak why don't you just believe,
For none can stand the power of Almighty God,
He will stand before you rule with iron rod
Upholds the universe by his word of power,
All will face his glory, the unrighteous they will cower
Stand before Him naked and stripped of all your pride
Ashamed of your wrong doing and who'll be by your side

Power in Almighty God
Power in eternal life
Power in the Word of God
Power in the blood of Christ

In search for power no answer you will find
When searching in darkness, feeling around blind
Demon powers willing to let you think you rule,
Till that fatal day when they will rule you
Life is but a vapor a speck of dust in time
When this life is over where's your power now
The Lord who's Lord of All is not willing any perish
There's power in the blood to wash and make your righteous

Power in Almighty God
Power in eternal life
Power in the Word of God
Power in the blood of Christ
