Out Of Darkness (2009)
1. Awaken The Dawn
"I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts
Men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
They spread a net for my feet I was bowed down in distress.
They dug a pit in my path but they have fallen into it themselves.
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.
Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn."
[Psalm 57:4-8]
2. Tongues Of Fire
With tongues of fire, every man shall hear!
The Son has risen, every man shall hear!
Blood and tears were not shed in vain.
But they were shed with a purpose in mind.
Blood and tears were not shed in vain.
Spirit descend for our work is not done here.
Tongues of fire spew forth and let these men hear.
SPIRIT DESCEND!
With tongues of fire, every man shall hear!
The Son has risen, every man shall hear!
The Son has risen, and the end is near!
3. Out Of Darkness
Alone and hopeless, this darkness I roam.
Searching for deliverance from this dark void.
Searching for deliverance from this dark void.
This journey attempted by my own will has never been complete.
Marching onward, once more, blind in this place.
My life has no meaning.
With blistered hands clasped, I fall to my knees.
What is my purpose? Where is my meaning? What is my purpose?
Where is my meaning?
A voice calls out bringing sight to my eyes. "Follow me and I will show you the light."
A voice calls out bringing sight to my eyes. "Follow me and I will show you the light."
I will pull you from this horrid place and bring you a new life.
Out of darkness and into the light I tread on with my Saviour.
I am now one of Gods chosen.
Declaring praises of He who has called me out.
Out of darkness and into the light I tread on with my Saviour.
I am now one of Gods chosen men.
4. Field Of Blood
Now you stand upon the ground where the betrayer met his end.
He took his life on the field of blood.
By his own hand he has brought on an excruciating end.
He took his life on the field of blood.
Memories of the events that compose the last days of his life cloud his eyes.
And will not be forgotten, for they re burned in his mind... in his mind.
For Satan did penetrate the darkest corners of his mind.
Thoughts of betrayal.
Betrayal that brought my Saviour's life to a close.
Thoughts of betrayal.
Betrayal that found a price in silver.
But in this decomposing world of now, this resembles a shell of my life.
But in this decomposing world of now, this resembles a shell of my life.
Why are my actions not what I know to be righteous?
My Saviour's blood is now on my hands.
Why are my actions not what I know to be righteous?
My Saviour's blood is now on my hands.
I am the betrayer.
I am the betrayer.
It is my sin that holds him to that cross.
I don't deserve what You have done for me... have done for me.
But through Your grace and Your love You have saved me.
You have saved me.
5. Paid In Full
Your life is not your own!
This life is not your own, you were bought for a price.
Therefore honor our God with your body and mind.
Before your own eyes this truth was present, yet you ignore it.
Sin has taken hold of our world and all that is in it.
A Saviour is required, blood is required.
Wake up!
You were bought for a price.
Wake up!
You were bought for a price.
The king will say to those on His right, come you who are blessed by my Father.
Take your inheritance.
Those on his left shall hear these words: Depart from me I never knew you.
Depart from me I never knew you.
Descend into the fire.
Descend into the fire.
Do not let this be the end of you!
Do not let this be the end of you!
6. Manifesto
Dear God, I am declaring myself as an instrument...
Dear God, I am declaring myself as an instrument to be used at your will.
Use me to fight in the war against the evil contained in this world... evil contained in this world.
I see so much wickedness.
It surrounds me.
It surrounds me.
Pull me up from this ugly mess.
Do not let me falter.
Pull me up from this ugly mess.
Do not let me falter.
Pull me up from this ugly mess.
Do not let me falter.
7. Crucifixion And Burial
[Instrumental]
8. He Is Risen
Bring him forth, this Son of Man, this King of Kings, this Saviour of Men!
His crimes are punishable by death!
CRUCIFY! CRUCIFY!
Take him from my sight!
Take him from my sight!
Take him from my sight!
Take him from my sight!
To my left is a dead man.
To my right he will live on.
In three days I will rebuild what today I will destroy.
My God, why have You forsaken me?
My God, why have You forsaken me? ...forsaken me? ...forsaken me?
Now His life has reached its end, He died with a cause.
Now His life has reached its end.
With grace that can fill the ocean and love that knows no bounds.
With grace that can fill the oceans and love that knows no bounds.
Examining an empty tomb, no answers are found for them.
Where is the man they call the Christ?
What have you done with Him?
I have done nothing!
All prophecies are fulfilled!
He is risen!
He is risen!
He is risen!
He is risen!
9. Herod's Demise
A diabolical ruler has arisen to corrupt this Holy Land, with lies deceit and violence he will reign.
His heart will be filled with hate and he will show no mercy for the weak, with lies deceit and violence he will reign.
Through spiteful action, the blood of righteous men will spill upon the earth.
Ignorant of the end that awaits his wretched life.
His blasphemies are heard by the Father and will never be ignored.
The angels are descending from above and are commanded by the Alpha and Omega.
This man shall never see another day!
Electricity is streaming through every pore, and there's no turning back for this man!
The smell of burning flesh fills up the air and life forms rise up from the earth.
Now tell me as the worms consume your flesh,
DO YOU FEAR MY GOD NOW?
10. Into The Light
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness, and into His wonderful light."
[1 Peter 2:9]
"I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts
Men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
They spread a net for my feet I was bowed down in distress.
They dug a pit in my path but they have fallen into it themselves.
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

[1 Peter 2:9]
The Heart Of Man (2010)
1. The Heart Of Man
The heart of man!
The hearts of men are easily corrupted, and through these eyes you can see the deceiver's grip on them all--controlling every thought.
We are lost with no minds of our own. This world is where the heart lies.
There is no love in those dead eyes.
Here is the Savior. Here is the sacrifice.
Here is the Savior. Here is the sacrifice.
An undeserving love for an undeserving heart. An undeserving love.
And from the overflow, the mouth is speaking lies and leading all who hear to their demise.
And from the overflow, the mouth is speaking lies and leading all who hear to their demise.
Fight the darkness.
Fight the darkness.
Wake up. Seek the Truth.
Wake up. Seek the Truth.
The heart of man!
The heart of man!
2. The Pharisaic Heart
Walk these streets and hear their cries. They scream of their righteousness. They reek of lies. They call on His name for the masses to see. Claiming their reward in this world. Forfeiting the eternal blessing of the One who gives us life. Hypocrisy reigns in the pharisaic heart.
Brood of vipers!
Venom spills from their mouths, poisoning the minds of those who hear. Through murderous intent they plot to end the life of the One. Look at the monster blinding their eyes with pride. Walk these streets and you will find them. Mocking the One who gives us life. Sending my Savior to the grave. Forfeiting the eternal blessing of the One who gives us life. Hypocrisy reigns in the pharisaic heart.
Brood of vipers! Brood of vipers! Speak your lies.
3. The Machine
This is the root of all evil they say, but it is our master. It is a machine. It is a machine.
The gears are turning, controlling every thought in our minds. The gears are turning. We are consumed from the inside out. Our bounty is our hope. Never fulfilling. Ever pursuing.
The gears are turning. More is never enough.
Never fulfilling. Ever pursuing.
The machine has masked our eyes with gold, blinding our eyes with desires of fortune. Moving forward with a craving for acquisition, this monster heeds nothing in its path. Remove this veil; clearly see the course which lies ahead. Remove this veil from your eyes.
The gears are turning, controlling every thought in our minds. The gears are turning. We are consumed from the inside out.
This is the root of a ll evil they say, but it is our master. Defeat the machine. Defeat the machine.
Be warned. Be warned.
Stop the machine. Stop the machine.
Stop the machine. Stop the machine.
4. Abandonment
"They know the truth because creation points to it; and its glory makes it obvious to them, singing, 'I'm shining through these invisible qualities, and I loved you, but you wouldn't worship me.' And every excuse will be nothing. That malice, greed, envy. Claiming to be wise, they betrayed truth for a lie. So give them over to that 'wisdom', their hate. I will withdraw my hand and give them everything they want: abandonment. Corruption and consequence. And you can drown yourself in that emptiness. I'll be patiently waiting for you to call on my name while you try to find your own way home." [x2]
5. Opposition
Reward and consequence will be the final outcome of this world and all who inhabit it.
Loving but just is the King of Kings, bestowing upon His creation according to the choice we make. Be devoted to the Lamb or continue following this world. Men shall reap what they sow, accepting life or embracing death.
His wrath will fall on all who oppose. Lucid choices made all too difficult when truth is staring us in the face. The line is drawn. Where do you stand? The skies will be split in two and all will fall to the ground in reverence. His glory will overtake the land. Withdrawing now seems all too meaningless.
Time is short and days are numbered. Repent.
Reward and consequence will be the final outcome of this world and all who inhabit it.
While all are crying, "Peace and safety," Annihilation will transpire and none shall escape from His fury. The final judgment will be made. This race was not created to fall into darkness, but be warned, narcissistic disposition will find one staring death in the face.
His wrath will fall on all who oppose.
6. At The Feet Of Creation
This is war! His citizens are marching into the bowels of the serpent. Godless men are surrendering to the sin in their hearts.
Lord please lift us up. Make us whole again. As the darkness swallows this world alive, restore...restore our hope in You.
May Your glory be revealed. May we seek You before the end.
God save us all! For when that day has come and the sky has been split in two, His army will follow and then it's too late. Power and authority have been exposed to us. A blinding light from our beacon, our Christ. His name will ring out for eternity. The battle is won. This is the end of the world. The beast lies in ruin at the feet of creation...creation.
Lord please lift us up. Make us whole again.
Lift us up. Make us whole again.
Lift us up. Make us whole again.
7. Released
Heed these words for what is next to be revealed to you, in preparation for His coming wrath. Do not be disposed to amplify the blasphemies of the beast. For the day is near when this world will cease to exist.
Do not ignore these warnings as they have been for so long.
Out of fear these signs have been overlooked. My God, open our eyes to see what has been hidden.
The end is upon us! For His fury has been unleashed into this earth. Evil will attempt to shield itself from His omniscience, not attaining. Raining down with fire from the skies and seas of blood, His wrath is being revealed. We've been warned, but pushed aside these words as if mere fiction.
But fear not!
But fear not!
A release has been provided through a Savior, sacrificed for us.
A release has been provided from His wrath.
Thus fear not.
8. Defiance
What a terrible thing to fall into the hands of a living God. Screaming, "It's not my fault!" But the devil does not fight fair.
An evil plague of sin is consuming this shell of good. Secrets hidden from the eyes of man are revealed in Your presence...are revealed in Your presence.
A worthless shield put up to hide the iniquities, day after passing day. Crying out to your creation...crying out, "I Am, I am here."
"I Am, I am here."
But the devil does not fight fair, while it falls upon deaf ears as though never spoken before.
What a terrible thing to fall into the hands of a living God. Screaming, "It's not my fault!" But the devil does not fight fair.
And when you stand before His seat of judgment, what will you hear? What will you hear?
"I never knew you. I don't care! And while you stood at the street corners, screaming your prayers, I starved to death, naked and bare! But you never cared! You never turned your head as I begged beneath pointing, crooked fingers attached to crooked, faithless men! I am consumed by your anger! Terrified by your rage! Love and grace? What a beautiful revelation in relation to the patience you practice towards the sin that you hate. This is the message that I proclaim: Kiss the Son! Because the day will come that you perish from the way. You're toying with the flint that starts the sparks that turn into the fire that fan the flames. I could have been your escape! I Am! But the devil does not fight fair. You sweep people away like dreams that disappear! I Am! But the devil does not fight fair. I could have been your escape!"
9. Home
"But we have a great high priest how is able to sympathize with our weaknesses, who is able to set the captives free. 'I came to rescue my lost sheep, you blind guides, my prodigal sons. I have fulfilled the law. I have passed through the heavens, and you are not forgotten. Come boldly into this throne room of grace, because I will be there for you when you need it most, and my hands are still outstretched, raw, but your stones fit through their holes perfectly and what you cast as evil, I transformed, and took the consequence. I remembered all of my promises. There is hope for you. You are a new creation. You are a new creation, and I will always take you back if you've forgotten your first love.'"
10. Fearless
Blessed are those who are persecuted. And blessed are those who will stand for You. These men thirst for blood, they are my enemies. Drive out the fear that has taken my heart.
These men thirst for blood, they are my enemies. Drive out the fear that has taken my heart.
They cast their stones and lies are on their tongues. I make this oath: my words will never denounce You.
What can these men do to me? They can kill my body but never kill my soul.
And even now, staring death in the face, my heart will not stray.
I am not afraid to die! I am not afraid to die!
I am not afraid to die! I am not afraid to die!
No I'm not afraid...not afraid to die!
I am not afraid...I am not afraid to die!
By His name I stand. By His word I stand. And by His Son I stand. You will never break me! Death has no hold on me. Eternity is mine.
They cast their stones and lies are on their tongues. I make this oath: to always love You.
They cast their stones and lies are on their tongues. I make this oath...I give up my life for the One who gave up His life for me.
I give up my life for the One who gave up His life for me.
Forgive these ones my God; they know not what they do.
Forgive these ones my God; they know not what they do.
11. An Awakening
The time has come. I have now realized that my life was meant for something so much more. No longer living for myself. No longer living for this world. I must be transformed.
What must I do? Take me from this life. I can't go on this way. God transform me.
God transform me. God transform me.
The world will see that I am Yours. They will know that Your Spirit dwells in me.
What must I do? Take me from this life. I can't go on this way. I can't go on this way.
What must I do? Take me from this life. I can't go on this way. I can't go on this way.
God transform me. God transform me.
God transform me.
The world will see that I am Yours. They will know that Your Spirit dwells in me.
12. Reborn
Break the chains of this monster holding onto me. Break the chains on my heart. Far too long have I been blinded by his ways. Break the chains on my heart.
Conform my heart to that which is pleasing to You. Reborn into a new life. I will spread truth to the nations. Light a fire inside of me.
I will rise up! I will rise up!
I will rise up! I will rise up!
A darkness is rotting us from within. We must renew our lives and wipe this slate clean. Send forth Your Spirit as we cry out, "Abba, Father!" Overcome the dark with light!
My body will perish, but my soul will stand firm. I refuse to let the fire consume me.
My body will perish, but my soul will stand firm. I refuse to let the fire consume me.
You fill me up with Your Spirit. I am forever Yours!
The deceiver may claw at my faith, but I will stand strong.
The deceiver may claw at my faith, but I will stand strong.
I will move the mountains. You are my shield, who can touch me now? I know all he speaks are lies, while You alone are the Truth.
I give up all that I am. I give up all that I am.
Take my heart. Make it Yours.
Take my heart. Make it Yours.
Take my heart. Make it Yours.
Take my heart. Make it Yours.
The heart of man!
The hearts of men are easily corrupted, and through these eyes you can see the deceiver's grip on them all--controlling every thought.
We are lost with no minds of our own. This world is where the heart lies.
There is no love in those dead eyes.
Here is the Savior. Here is the sacrifice.
Here is the Savior. Here is the sacrifice.
An undeserving love for an undeserving heart. An undeserving love.
And from the overflow, the mouth is speaking lies and leading all who hear to their demise.
And from the overflow, the mouth is speaking lies and leading all who hear to their demise.
Fight the darkness.
Fight the darkness.
Wake up. Seek the Truth.
Wake up. Seek the Truth.
The heart of man!

You never turned your head as I begged beneath pointing, crooked fingers attached to crooked, faithless men! I am consumed by your anger! Terrified by your rage! Love and grace? What a beautiful revelation in relation to the patience you practice towards the sin that you hate. This is the message that I proclaim: Kiss the Son! Because the day will come that you perish from the way. You're toying with the flint that starts the sparks that turn into the fire that fan the flames. I could have been your escape! I Am! But the devil does not fight fair. You sweep people away like dreams that disappear! I Am! But the devil does not fight fair. I could have been your escape!"
9. Home
"But we have a great high priest how is able to sympathize with our weaknesses, who is able to set the captives free. 'I came to rescue my lost sheep, you blind guides, my prodigal sons. I have fulfilled the law. I have passed through the heavens, and you are not forgotten. Come boldly into this throne room of grace, because I will be there for you when you need it most, and my hands are still outstretched, raw, but your stones fit through their holes perfectly and what you cast as evil, I transformed, and took the consequence. I remembered all of my promises. There is hope for you. You are a new creation. You are a new creation, and I will always take you back if you've forgotten your first love.'"
10. Fearless
Blessed are those who are persecuted. And blessed are those who will stand for You. These men thirst for blood, they are my enemies. Drive out the fear that has taken my heart.
These men thirst for blood, they are my enemies. Drive out the fear that has taken my heart.
They cast their stones and lies are on their tongues. I make this oath: my words will never denounce You.
What can these men do to me? They can kill my body but never kill my soul.
And even now, staring death in the face, my heart will not stray.
I am not afraid to die! I am not afraid to die!
I am not afraid to die! I am not afraid to die!
No I'm not afraid...not afraid to die!
I am not afraid...I am not afraid to die!
By His name I stand. By His word I stand. And by His Son I stand. You will never break me! Death has no hold on me. Eternity is mine.
They cast their stones and lies are on their tongues. I make this oath: to always love You.
They cast their stones and lies are on their tongues. I make this oath...I give up my life for the One who gave up His life for me.
I give up my life for the One who gave up His life for me.
Forgive these ones my God; they know not what they do.
Forgive these ones my God; they know not what they do.
11. An Awakening
The time has come. I have now realized that my life was meant for something so much more. No longer living for myself. No longer living for this world. I must be transformed.
What must I do? Take me from this life. I can't go on this way. God transform me.
God transform me. God transform me.
The world will see that I am Yours. They will know that Your Spirit dwells in me.
What must I do? Take me from this life. I can't go on this way. I can't go on this way.
What must I do? Take me from this life. I can't go on this way. I can't go on this way.
God transform me. God transform me.
God transform me.
The world will see that I am Yours. They will know that Your Spirit dwells in me.
12. Reborn
Break the chains of this monster holding onto me. Break the chains on my heart. Far too long have I been blinded by his ways. Break the chains on my heart.
Conform my heart to that which is pleasing to You. Reborn into a new life. I will spread truth to the nations. Light a fire inside of me.
I will rise up! I will rise up!
I will rise up! I will rise up!
A darkness is rotting us from within. We must renew our lives and wipe this slate clean. Send forth Your Spirit as we cry out, "Abba, Father!" Overcome the dark with light!
My body will perish, but my soul will stand firm. I refuse to let the fire consume me.
My body will perish, but my soul will stand firm. I refuse to let the fire consume me.
You fill me up with Your Spirit. I am forever Yours!
The deceiver may claw at my faith, but I will stand strong.
The deceiver may claw at my faith, but I will stand strong.
I will move the mountains. You are my shield, who can touch me now? I know all he speaks are lies, while You alone are the Truth.
I give up all that I am. I give up all that I am.
Take my heart. Make it Yours.
Take my heart. Make it Yours.
Take my heart. Make it Yours.
Take my heart. Make it Yours.
