disrespect for a voice unheard
has left a void unfilled
white hot anger in my brain
as I see the numbers killed
helpless as I'm forced to be
the guilt it spreads inside
I would give my arms and legs
to still another unjust cry
for who could put a price
on another human life
and could you count the cost in gold
of another human soul
lip service is just spit in the wind
don't think you're making a difference
when all you do is pretend
and pick and choose the ones you care for
comfort yourself instead
I'm just as guilty but I know what's at stake
and those who kill don't show consistency
it doesn't matter where you come from
or who you are
we all bleed the same
I keep looking back, looking back
and im ashamed
I keep looking back, looking back
and I'm ashamed
of the thoughts that so encompass
of the thoughts that so encompass me
a condition I can't help
and I wish that I was somewhere else
somewhere else
somewhere else
disrespect for a voice unheard
has left a void unfilled
white hot anger in my veins
as I see the numbers killed
helpless as I'm forced to be,
the guilt it spreads inside
I would give my arms and legs
to still another unjust cry

What's left of us from this catastrophe
The chosen ones for eternity
We rise above in stereo
You know, you know
Do you see us now?
We're the remnant
We're the remnant
Coming for you now
Wipe your tears away
We're the remnant
We're the remnant
Do you see us now?
[Verse 2]
We laugh we love with one heart we beat
No holding back we are what you see
We rise above thе ash and glow
You know, you know
Do you see us now?
We're the rеmnant
We're the remnant
Coming for you now
Wipe your tears away
We're the remnant
We're the remnant
Can you see us now?
Do you see us now?
Piecing the show of the century
The ghost of this haunting memory
Don't turn back now, but take back what
Was stolen from, was stolen from
The enemy, the enemy, the enemy
Do you see us now?
We're the remnant
We're the remnant
Coming for you now
Wipe your tears away
We're the remnant
We're the remnant
Do you see us now?
We're the remnant
We're the remnant
Coming for you now
Wipe your tears away
We're the remnant
We're the remnant
Do you see us now?
Do you see us now?

Divided we fall, how quickly you forget who you were before
When you were on your knees begging for salvation, did The Saviour respond
with condemnation?
Now blessed and set apart in consecration, are you bringing peace or only devastation?
Pushing those your sent to guide to grim annihilation
Ensnare them in the hope that they'd ever be enough,
While you keep them estranged from acceptance
Obscure what's written in your soul
You wolf cast in the finest linen,
Spawn of the viper, set yourself above with your false reverence
You charlatan, quarry keeper of the millstones around those children's necks, you betray your own as you cast them to the sea
This war is not of flesh and bone yet you're the first to cast the stones at your own
When you were on your knees begging for salvation, did The Saviour responded with condemnation?
Now blessed and set apart in consecration, are you bringing peace or only devastation?
You put yourself in the place of God
As you curse your brothers as fallen
While your forked tongue writhes beneath your teeth
As the mask start to break
You deemed your sisters unworthy of grace, of which you so recklessly abuse
As you speak for the kingdom of the snake
If there comes a time when you seek God's face, don't look to the one who perverted what you saw a faith
Their infernal sermons serve only to separate
You put yourself in the place of God
As you curse your brothers as fallen
While your forked tongue writhes beneath your teeth
As the mask start to break
You deemed your sisters unworthy of grace, of which you so recklessly abuse
As you speak for the kingdom of the snake
You cast the stones and let the axe fall as you desperately try to hide what you are
Heretic
Heretics
They stitch the veil that was torn so long ago
Through these liars only hell will follow

How can I resist egomania?
Vow loyalty through a prayer!
Take my hand, my dearest friend!
Trust in me, you won't repent!
How, how can I resist egomania?
Thou deal with giants and failure
Take my hand, my dearest friend!
Trust in me, you won't repent!
Oh son of Jesse, let me know
How can I show you
How much I owe you?
Ignore the succession to the throne
'Cause without you I am so alone
Take my sword and take my bow,
My father Saul - your biggest foe!
Take my sword and take my bow,
Dear God, protect his soul!
No secrets, no lies,
Just equal allies!
We take this oath
And we fight a green-eyed monster
We will rise!
No secrets, no lies
Just equal allies.
Our eyes shine so bright
While we realize the tie
Your father stood between us!
I should be the king and
You should be my prince
The shepherd, the archer
The shepherd, the archer
Always a teacher and friend for me!
Always a friend for me!
A teacher & friend for me!
How the mighty have fallen
And the weapons of war perished
Why didn't I take caution
Concerning the friend I cherished?
I promised you to assist you
That's why Mephibosheth is my son, too
Very pleasant have you been to me
Now I'm lamenting your destiny
No rivals, no enemies!
No secrets, no lies
Just equal allies!
We take this oath
And we fight a green-eyed monster
We will rise!
No secrets, no lies
Just equal allies!
Our eyes shine so bright
While we realize the tie
The shepherd, the archer
The shepherd, the archer

They harmonized with the world
She weeps
His body left…
Sleeping the sin unto death
This is not your trajectory
Indulging in such decadence
Now lost…
Spiraling into perpetual neglect
Habitually revolting
Now sleeping
Not ever dreaming
Descending lower through the stages
Negative volition
A damaged soul
How is this a legacy?
Holding on so desperately
Such a simple melody
Departure
No one knows the end
But they will see
Here is the genius
The one that takes control
The one that takes control
They harmonized with the world
They harmonized with the world
She weeps
His body left…
Sleeping the sin unto death
They harmonized with the world
Here is recovery
Face it
Do not retreat
Slave
Emulating
Reversionist
Ungodly
Diabolical
Life and death

The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning;
It’s time to sing Your song again.
Whatever passes and whatever lies before me,
Let me be singing when the evening comes.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
O my soul, worship His holy Name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I’ll worship Your holy Name.
You’re rich in love and You’re slow to anger,
Your Name is great and Your heart is kind;
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing,
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
And on that day when my strength is failing,
The end draws near and my time has come;
Still my soul sings Your praise unending,
Ten thousand years and then forevermore.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. “ (Isaiah 40:10)
These darkened depths take hold of me. Pulling me down further and further.
My soul is weak and my heart feels empty. These vicious demons hold me in their grasp, stabbing without mercy. I seek to find fulfillment. Lord save me from this pain.
I seek not to fill myself with foolish things of this world, but I seek to be filled by Your Holy Spirit. Give me the strength to prevail past these attacks on my life. Fill my heart, fill my soul. Give Your strength to me oh Lord.
Almighty Father, the Great I am, Lord Jesus Christ, I Plead to You.
Seek my heart. Change my life. Lend me thy rod and thy staff.
Pushing through these evil’s, I can feel You with me.
Guiding me step by step along the way.
Pushing through these evil’s, I can feel You with me.
Guiding me step by step along the way.

The water is crawling upward
This ship is going down tonight
I have a break in the hull
But I'm not going down without a fight
Among these waters
So deep and dark and cold
I struggle to find my life
Being swallowed in the undertow
Pull me out
Set me free
You are all that I need
You are all I need
I believe, help my unbelief
You are all I need
I believe, help my unbelief
Waves crash all around me
Beating me black and blue
I cannot get a sense of direction
Until I get a glimpse of You
Suffocating, a hand reaches down
As light breaks through the surface
Breaching, gasping for air
Safe into the arms of love
Oh how you love
(Oh how you love)
There is one who can save
His name, oh His name...
There is one who can save
His name is Jesus

Come now all you children
Ruined by the fall
Turn and face the father again
Face the father again
Father rain on my parade
How dare you hide your shame
What did I promise you would find
If you seek truth in me
Talk is foul
Like the stench
From an open grave.
Tongues filled with lies
Snake venom drips from the lips.
My hopes and fears
Wrestle in the same womb
Until the day I die.
Born onto a path of misery
Found by a savior
Made complete in him
I will follow you
I will follow you
Forever lead the way
To the end of this world
You can take my life
It’s always been yours
Another trip
Around the sun
Without the savior
Feels empty
I can’t help but think
Forever is a long time
Eternity without you
In the void
Just gnashing my teeth
I was never once
Worth it
But you never wanted
Perfect
I will follow you
Forever lead the way
To the end of this world
You can Take my life
It’s always been yours
Another trip
Around the sun
Without the savior
Feels empty
Come now all you children
Ruined by the fall
You can go to hell
Over my dead body
Come now all you children
Ruined by the fall
Turn and face the father again
Face the father again

But what I did could kill tomorrow

Lay it – my sin I count as Yours

(Verse.1)
I fell away
The fire falls like rain
Now I'm chasing down
The beast that brought this pain!
(Pre-Chorus)
When you hear the bells at dawn
Standing up you’re not the only one.
(Chorus)
How can I feel safe now that you’re gone?
Like a black knight riding into the storm
Hold onto me as we rise to defend
Be the hope as we're fighting the dragon again!
(Verse.2)
Your hands they shake
Proceeding towards your fate
The lives of others now are resting upon your namе
(Pre-Chorus)
When all is said and done
Wе will rise like angels into the sun!
(Chorus.2)
How can I feel safe now that you’re gone?
Like a black knight riding into the storm
Hold onto me as we rise to defend
Be the hope as we're fighting the dragon again!
(Bridge)
You have seen my descent
Now prepare for the rising!
We held the line, the sword of truth unbroken.
I will survive to watch the embers burn!
(Last Chorus)
How can I feel safe now that you’re gone?
Like a black knight riding into the storm.
Breaking the chains as we fall to our knees
Cover me!
How can I be safe now that you’re gone?
Like a black knight riding into the storm
Hold onto me and as we rise to defend
Be the hope as we're fighting the dragon again!
(Outro)
We held the line, the sword of truth unbroken
I will survive to watch the embers burn!

At the edge of existence, our colors begin to bleed.
Decomposing our dissidence, to liberate the axiom feed.
We are the parallels between the unheard and the unseen.
Illuminated by transdimensional means.
For too long we’ve rooted ourselves in the shadows of the earth,
In pursuit of counterfeit euphoria, to forge ourselves a sense of self worth.
We neglect the voice of exhortation and dwell in a homogeneous state of malaise,
Divulging our minds in confusion, selling our identity for the next trivial craze.
For how long will we give ourselves over to be seduced?
We should know by now that the truth would never extort or abuse.
Yet brick by faulty brick, we built our borders absonant and slick,
And raised our sun into a pantheon, roaming the eternal pit.
Rise and fall.
Our pain will pullulate a new verdant strength.
Rise and fall with me.
Our hearts will palpitate in harmonic wavelengths.
I feel the sunlight fading in my skin behind a thick and convoluted shroud.
But I will hold fast to the hope that you gave me and know that I am not my doubt.
I will be made new and reclaim my aphotic mind.
Our perpetual lack of forward motion deteriorates our purity into static rot.
Causing a rift in between what our spirit used to believe, and what we haphazardly forgot.
Deconstruct our atoms, detract our minds in the fathoms of the infinite space.
Decompose the state of our brittle bones, set free from the guilt of our mortal constraints.
This is a brand new day, and I’m a brand new me.
Take me and bleed me empty, I want my soul to echo through eternity.
Transpose my fading heartbeat, make every pulsing hit, a polyrhythmic earthquake.
Cast all your burdens into me, rise a purified new heart.
Our voices echo out as one,
We will mend the earth that we tore apart.
Absolve the roots of humanity of our hatred and malcontent.
Decompose our corroded monuments, unveil the liberty of an open sky.
It’s time we opened our eyes to see the blood on our hands and the time we spent,
Will vanish within the light as we fade into an eternal eventide.
We are the solar impression, reflecting Heaven’s glow.
Step with me into the void, we will illuminate where heaven cannot go.
You are alpha and omega, the beginning and the ending.
You are the first, you are the last, myriad finite dichotomy.
I need to be destroyed gently, reborn, set free, I’ll go, Lord, send me,
Where my soul and eternity converse divine true certainty.
We are the resistance, set free from the pull of the void,
From the day we were reborn, until the day our body be destroyed.
Take and weave our souls together, tie our spirits into one.
We will burn with the passion of a newborn sun.

It's hard to believe that this was real
Another year has passed
Staring at photographs that failed
To capture what I felt
I barely recognize myself
And who I used to be
And I wonder if you all feel the same
We lit the torch
Now we're passing it on
Don't quench the fire in your hearts
We lit the torch
Now we're passing it on
Don't quench the fire in your hearts
This bond is stronger than flesh and bone
I will see you again
Brothers and sisters the family of God
I will see you again
Let the holy Spirit guide your lives
Let the holy Spirit guide your lives
So I say walk by the spirit and you will not
Gratify the desires of the flesh
This bond is stronger than flesh and bone
I will see you again
Brothers and sisters the family of God
I will see you again
In this life or the next
I will see you again
You've shown me what it means to live
I will see you again
Everytime I look into their eyes
I see reflections of you
I'm reminded of what you mean to me
In all of my prayers for all of you
I always pray with joy
And your heart always be filled with passion
Once filled with death
Now full of life
Once filled with hate
Now full of love
Once filled with death
Now full of life
Never the same
Forever changed
Once filled with death
Now full of life
Never the same
Forever changed

I AM THE VINE - The Pull
02:56

Piecing together all the fragments of
A lost and broken world
Sick to my stomach
Turned away
The sound still penetrates my soul
Do you see what I see?
Do you have your own story to tell?
Do you feel the pull of darkness grasping for control?
I can’t take this
I can’t take this
Why don’t you come and get me out?
Do you feel the pull?
I’ve walked this path before
But I never walk alone
Rejected peace for war
We’ve traded love for hate
You offer life, but we’re content
With living six feet deep
It’s all a joke to us
Past it with modern minds
We don’t remember
We’ve burned the books of yesterday
Can we last much longer?
Are we too far gone?

The darkness prevailed over time
The sound of flatline was mental suicide
I held her hand till her last breath
Is this the testing of faith I resent?
I'll carry on till there's no distant memory
I'll walk this earth till I'm six feet deep
I'm looking up at my dark sky
With no end in sight there's no end in sight!
Yahweh! You keep calling You keep calling
This life full of suffering yet you’re calling me by name
Commissioned to testify cause you call me by name
Will I have the strength to survive from this everlasting pain?
I know that I'm not the same you’re restoring me by grace
I found myself in the darkest place
From all the selfishness and deceit
I felt their sting for the last time
Oh let this day of my birth be erased!
I'll carry on till there's no distant memory
I'll walk this earth till you call me home
I'm looking up at my dark sky
With no end in sight as I'm still searching for the sun
Yahweh! You keep calling, You keep calling!
This life full of suffering yet you’re calling me by name
Commissioned to testify cause you call me by name
God Will I have the strength to survive?
Will I have the strength to survive from this everlasting pain?
I know that I'm not the same, you’re restoring me by grace!
I'll speak Your name cause you first called me!
I'm looking up at my dark sky!
I'll walk this earth till you call me home!
I'm looking up at my dark sky!
Yahweh! You keep calling you keep calling
This life full of suffering yet You're calling me by name
Looking up at my dark sky!
Commissioned to testify cause you call me by name
Looking up at my dark sky!
Will I have the strength to survive from this everlasting pain?
I know that I'm not the same you’re restoring me by grace

The Prophets of ba’al there on their altars.
They weep and they wait as their sacrifices fail.
Abandoned by gods, they made them up.
Made up their own fairytale.
Their gods sit there in silence.
The prophets ov ba’al will soon be faced with hellfire beyond their comprehension.
Altars ov stone they lie upon.
Mutilate their hearts as the blood runs down.
They weep.
They wail.
As their gods turned on them.
Made from the clay & so I shall return.
Never to be seen again, deep I will lurk.
Consumed by the dirt, encased in roots.
When the mountains crumble, to the spirit I will turn.
He beckons.
Now go and then kill them, let no one escape.
Laid down on their altars the blade rips their heart.

We write to you brothers what relates to our teacher's fate
Ending the persecution, sealed by his noble death
When his pursuers came, he set supper for them
Until the time to leave he didn't cease to pray
They marveled at his constancy and age
"Was so much effort made to seize a righteous man?"
"Swear by the fortune of Lord Caesar,
And repent your ways"
"It’s unfit to repent righteousness
In the fire without motion, I'll remain
Needlessly bind me with nails
I must be burnt alive”
As the flame blazed
It shaped around our friend
From his body, a sweet odor came
That of smoking frankincense
Sharp dagger in hand
Pierced through came blessed Polycarp's end
A blameless life he led
Crowned and praised in death
"Swear by the fortune of Lord Caesar,
And repent your ways"
"It’s unfit to repent righteousness
In the fire without motion, I'll remain
Needlessly bind me with nails
I must be burnt alive”
“Eighty and six years have I served Him,
And He never did me wrong:
How then can I now blaspheme my King,
My Savior?”

Don’t cry at my grave
I’m not there
Don’t sulk atop my corpse
I don’t care
This hole is not my home
I am not dead and gone
I’m one with the dirt
But it doesn’t hurt
Don’t be sorry for their loss
Throw that pity in the grave
where my body’s tossed
Don’t be sorry for their loss
Throw that pity in the grave
where my body’s tossed
My soul exalted
My sorrow halted
Yesterday is gone
Tomorrow won’t come
Tell my so called friends
Who came out of the woodwork
Memories haunt them
My void it always lurks
Don’t be sorry for their loss
Throw that pity in the grave
where my body’s tossed
Don’t be sorry for their loss
Throw that pity in the grave
where my body’s tossed
Dance monkey dance!
Let my absence put you in a trance
Tap your toes against my gravestone
Dance monkey dance!
Let my absence put you in a trance
Tap your toes against my gravestone
In loving memory
In loving memory
In loving memory

I know a thing or two about respect
Don't play dumb we see through your smoke
No self-deprecation no pretense
Don't play games we see who you are
You don't care at all
Pride before the fall
I'm seeing through the mask you wear
It's all so clear
We'll never be a team, ending 6 feet deep
Meet the cross your defeat
I know a thing or two about respect
Don't play dumb we see through your smoke
No self-deprecation no pretense
Don't play games we see who you are
You don't care at all
Pride before the fall
I'm seeing through the mask you wear
It's all so clear
We'll never be a team, ending 6 feet deep
Meet the cross your defeat
Who you are

One rule was broken
Scarred the world
Sin ushered in
Death and war
The price was paid
Like never before
A sacrifice made
The veil was torn
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
