For All Eternity (2009)
1. Avail
Time has come,
All else fades away,
Walls close in, till this day
Today's the day, that we are free.
And if we fall, we will stand up.
Hot or cold, tyrant sold,
Today, you meet your maker,
Hand in hand, with the angels
Oh, led down the path,
To find all you’ve ever had.
And he whispers in my ear, all this time.
To stay away.
Take everything,
Everything.
And if you take me down that path,
To find all I’ve ever had,
Prove that I am yours.
And if you take me down that path,
To find all I’ve ever had,
Prove that I am yours.
I am yours.
2. Souls
Your soul is priceless,
No sacrifice you can make, so take hold.
Priceless, the fear you must forsake, so let go.
Priceless, priceless.
So was his blood,
So was his blood.
Flesh can break, I’m full of lies and deceit.
Take everything, for I am weak.
Ground to take,
Draw your sword,
Take everything my god till there is nothing left.
Ill give it all up, just to be at your side.
More of you, less of me.
More of you, less of me.
Father, Father, slay my beast
Father, Father, slay my beast
Father, father take my hand, here i am, in awe i stand
and show me your everlasting love
I cannot describe this, i cannot describe this, i cannot describe this.
I cannot describe this.
the stones they throw will build us
as long as it doesn’t kill us
the suffering makes us stronger, until we meet our father
take my hand
save me
oh lord, save me.
Save me.
3. Here I Stand
Reveal yourself.
you try to hide your face,
But your disguise is withering.
I do not know why, you run away from me
Your eyes are full of lies, you cannot lie to me.
This you can’t deny, you are afraid of me.
You can’t deny.
With all of your might, prove you can win the fight
With all of your might, prove you can win the fight.
This you can’t deny, you are afraid of me.
You can’t deny.
The light I bear shines through your imitation.
The light I bear shines through your imitation.
Now, you know where I stand, I stand at the right hand.
So, if god is with me, who is against me?
So here i stand, before my enemy.
Against countless odds, his grace consumes me.
His grace consumes me.
So here I stand.
With these scars upon my back.
So here I stand.
With these scars upon my back.
With all your might, prove you can win the fight.
With all your might, prove we can win the fight.
Don’t try to prove me wrong.
You try to hide your face, but your disguise is withering.
The light I bear shines through your imitation.
Don’t try to take away, my eternity.
I do not know why, you run away from me.
This you can’t deny, you are afraid of me.
I do not know why, you run away from me.
This you can’t deny, you are afraid of me.
Reveal yourself.
4. Sunset Revelation
I will proclaim my faith tonight
i'll hold tight to your name,
deep down inside i know your mine,
one day they will fall into line.
Sure as the sun will fall,
I know that we will rise,
We are not bound with time, we are not bound with time.
Sure as the sun will fall,
I know that we will rise,
We are not bound with time, we are not bound with time.
Why can’t you just see, death's no hold on me,
why can’t you just see, we are forever.
Why can’t you just see, death's no hold on me,
Why can’t you just see, we are forever.
Forget the preset notion of your end.
His plans for you, are Everlasting.
Everlasting
The sun will fall, and we will rise.
We are not bound with time.
The sun will fall, and we will rise.
We are not bound with time.
The sun will fall.
The Sun will fall.
Fall.
5. A Cry For The Lost
We'll fight, for your lives.
Time has come,
All else fades away,

Today's the day, that we are free.
And if we fall, we will stand up.
Hot or cold, tyrant sold,
Today, you meet your maker,
Hand in hand, with the angels
Oh, led down the path,

And he whispers in my ear, all this time.
To stay away.
Take everything,

Studio Albums:
Beyond The Gates (2012)
1. Born
Into this world, short of life,
without breath, void of light.
Into this world, short of life,
without breath, void of light.
2. Vacant Room
There must be more, to this vacant room that i’ve been sitting in.
Scratching at the walls, imprisoned in this state of mind.
Brought into life with no hope in sight.
Scratching at the walls of my new found home, the paint sits deep under my nails,
A constant reminder of the attempts i've made,To escape from this place, to free myself from pain.
To loosen these chains.
To escape from this place, to free myself from pain,
To rid my heart of hate. Rid my life of hate.
My mind, an empty room with no windows to see through.
Isolated from the truth(from the truth).
Do my eyes deceive me by what they have not seen,
Freedom, the one desire that will never cease.There must be more to this life of mine.
There is something deep inside that testifies of a greater kind.
I cannot simply reach out for something better.
I sit here incapable of such a feat, predetermined defeat,
Unable to see past these walls around me.
My mind, an empty room with no windows to see through.
Isolated from the truth(from the truth).
Do my eyes deceive me by what they have not seen,
Freedom, the one desire that will never cease.
My heart, it needs to change.
I need a change.
3. Broken Hands
Purpose, isn't found in my broken hands or my selfishness.
Everything they have told me has broken my spirit,
and it has left me, without a plan or a purpose for this life that i am meant to lead.
I’m a broken man, I find no purpose in these hands, I can’t build anything for myself.
They have left me, with no guideline or outline of what or who I am meant to be.
Everythings unclear(everything that I see here), so tell me what, what do you expect from me?
Im just a broken man, gripping to life with a broken hand.
I wish, I had the strength to live a life, a life free of regret.
All these thoughts running through my head, in my own strength, I think i'd just wind up dead.
Lend me a helping hand, someone teach me to be a better man.
It’s like i've heard it all before.Give me a reason to breath or I won’t breath at all.
Living through all this pain, living amongst this hate, I cant bear another day.
What could I do, what could I say, that could make this pain go away,
What could I do, what could I say,I cant bear another day, and it’s eating me away.
I am alone and cold, hopeless and broken and wretched with no place to go.
I am alone and cold, in desperate need of a purpose and a chance of hope.
I wish, I had the strength to live a life, a life, full of hope.
To live a life, free of regret.
Give me the strength.
4. The Wide Path
You've been swept away, the little hope that we have is wasting away.
Swallowed up by the grips of the tide, submerged in treachery, fathoms from a single breath.
Your life expectancy is only measured in seconds.
The little hope we have, is wasting away.
The little hope we have, is wasting away, day after day.
I see past all the haze, all they have made you out to be.
So follow me to the surface, take a chance, take a breath, and follow me.
Would you rather be, the nameless, the faceless, the lifeless, a man with no eyes to see.
Would you dare stray from the wide path to see what you could become.
Would you dare.
Seek out truth, with your whole heart & it will find you.
Seek out truth, with your whole heart & it will find you.
There is no mistake to be made, He will find you, there is no mistake to be made.
Make your way to the surface, He will meet you there, He will find you.
Would you dare to become all that you were made to be.
Would you dare stray from the wide path to see.
I see past all the haze, all they have made you out to be.
Take a chance, take a breath, and follow me.
Would you rather be, the nameless, the faceless, the lifeless, a man with no eyes to see.
Would you dare stray from the wide path to see what you could become.
5. Solid Ground
Help to keep me, firmly on the ground, I need to feel the gravity.
I need solid ground under my feet, because I am drifting away.
I am drifting away, and it wasn't my intention to be this way, forever slipping away.
All they say they claim to be true.
Pull me closer to you.
Pull me closer to you, free me from the grips of those who aim to stop you.
The enemy paints these skies with lies to keep me off this floor.
Their persuasive ways have tricked me before.
They haven't stopped for years, they are pulling me away in desperation.
For fear of what i've found in you.
Be my gravity.
Help to keep me, firmly on the ground, I need to feel your gravity.
I need solid ground under my feet, because I am drifting away.
I know You planned it out, You knew that it would end this way.
I'm not easily swayed.
Ill stand here, immovable, firm in my footing, firm in my faith.
Away from the lies that they say, All that they said, all that they said.
Now its all clear to me.
Now its all so clear to me.
Standing right here.
6. Renewer
I’m crying out for, someone to take, to take this away from me.
My pain, it still remains.
Despite all the things I have seen,and all i've come to be.
I still struggle, my life is on the line.
So now I walk in this shadow, a few steps from the light.
I am so close to the decision that will change my life.
On the edge, I see my future out in front of me.
The only thing in my way is all I used to be.
Stand down, step aside, my wicked mind and my pride.
I’m done with you.
Take, take it all upon yourself.
To the man I was, to the man ive been, you are dead to me,
and I am dead to you.
So now I walk in freedom, and I see where i’ve been.
This heart, in my chest has been washed clean.
Now I am new,
My Renewer, my Healer, my Saviour, my God.
7. Bright Eyes
[Instrumental]
8. Awake To The Sound
This darkness, left me with nothing
I could not see, and I was captivated, in disbelief (in disbelief)
But now, my eyes are open. I have new sight and you are the light that I'm chasing
If only you were standing right in front of me
I hate this separation, this is not where I'm meant to be
We must be together, there's nothing else that this world can offer me
But I wont give up, and I wont give in.
Can you hear the sound [3x]
There's no sweeter sound than the footsteps of the Almighty
Coming to find me, coming to bring me home
Come find us, here we are.
Sitting and hoping and seeking your love to overflow
Because I owe everything that I am to you,
And everything I have belongs to your kingdom
I must bare the truth [2x]
Can you hear the sound?
There's no sweeter sound than the footsteps of the Almighty
Coming to find me, coming to bring me home
There's no sweeter sound [4x]
I can hear the footsteps,
I can hear him coming
I can hear the footsteps
I can hear him coming
To take us home.
There's no sweeter sound [3x]
I can hear the footsteps [2x]
Of the Almighty.
9. Strength
I will bare myself to the world.
In my truest of forms, I will stand firm in the things you have called me to.
The blood runs thick in these veins.
Blood that is not my own, not my own.
The very core, of who I am has shifted drastically.
My intentions have changed my outlook on everything.
Now I go by a different name, with a different face to the one that preceded me.
I am a whole new creation, all of me is devoted to You.
All that I was called to has come to pass.
Ive been given strength that I have never known before.
I will never back down again, never again.
All that I was called to has come to pass.
Your work in me, has changed everything.
I turned away from who I was, to realise who I truly am.
All that You've made me to be.
In my truest form, You have given me the strength.
You have given me a strength I have never known before.
I will bare myself to the world.
In my truest form, I will stand firm in all that You've called me to, in my truest form.
All the world will see what You have made of me.
Everyone will know that you are King.
10. All That Awaits
Truth is calling out, He is crying out your name,
What would it take for you to know,
What would it take for us to see.
Truth has paved the way, there is life to be attained, there is no reason to doubt you.
Show us Your ways, reveal to us, all that awaits.
All that awaits.
What would it take for us to lose grip of this mindless state, return to knowledge that was intended for us.
No longer, will we live in absence, no longer, no longer will we deny You.
We have not a single reason to doubt You.
By your grace, we see all that was kept from us.
I am a completely new man, with my eyes set on your plan.
What would it take, to explain what i’m feeling, understanding all that awaits me.
I have found something, that has changed every part of me.
The truth is our for the taking. The truth is ours for the taking,
As You have graciously shown.
What would it take for you to know(for you to know).
What would it take for you to see(for you to see).
We strive in life, to a place of nearness to our God.
All that awaits us, is at the foot of His throne.
All that I ask, all that I ask, is for you to, walk through the gates, walk through His gates.
Walk with us, walk with us.
I would give it all, to see this through. I would give it all, to see this through.
All I ask, all that I ask, all that i’m asking is for you to walk through the gates,
walk with us, walk through His gates.
Walk with us, walk through the gates.
11. Beyond The Gates
I open my eyes to the skies to see You standing there right in front of me,
wearing a light far too bright for my eyes to perceive.
You open the gates, take my hand and You guide me in.
Into your presence Lord and the the love that You hold within.
You were before and You are right now, You forever will be here with me.
Forget the world, all it has You surpass for You outshine it all.
Leaving behind my selfish mind still You never let me fall.
Absence of time now is mine spent forever by your side in your arms at your feet.
I will worship You my King, we are no more obsolete.
You were before and You are right now, You forever will be here with me.
You were before and You are right now, You forever will be here with me.
In Your presence I will sing songs that praise Your name,
I will singloudly with no shame of how You conquered the grave.
In Your presence is where I belong, grant my heart just this one song to sing You forever and ever.
Hallelujah You are my King, hallelujah to You I will sing.
Though I know not very much, I've known You not very long.
The little I can give I will give You through this song.
You were before and You are right now, You forever will be here with me.
You forever will be here with me.
12. Victory
After all these years, after all ive come to know, after eveything i’ve seen,
I am proud, I am proud of who You have made me to be,
and I know I can stand here,with fire in my eyes & my brothers at my side.
Nothing can defeat me.
I see through all the lies.
For in the name of Christ we declare our victory.
This truth I hold has destroyed my enemy.
Victory.
Jesus has come & paid the price for every single life.
On the cross, blood bought victory, we stand redeemed, we stand redeemed.
Victory.
By His blood we stand redeemed.
Into this world, short of life,
without breath, void of light.
Into this world, short of life,
without breath, void of light.

All that awaits us, is at the foot of His throne.
All that I ask, all that I ask, is for you to, walk through the gates, walk through His gates.
Walk with us, walk with us.
I would give it all, to see this through. I would give it all, to see this through.
All I ask, all that I ask, all that i’m asking is for you to walk through the gates,
walk with us, walk through His gates.
Walk with us, walk through the gates.
11. Beyond The Gates
I open my eyes to the skies to see You standing there right in front of me,
wearing a light far too bright for my eyes to perceive.
You open the gates, take my hand and You guide me in.
Into your presence Lord and the the love that You hold within.
You were before and You are right now, You forever will be here with me.
Forget the world, all it has You surpass for You outshine it all.
Leaving behind my selfish mind still You never let me fall.
Absence of time now is mine spent forever by your side in your arms at your feet.
I will worship You my King, we are no more obsolete.
You were before and You are right now, You forever will be here with me.
You were before and You are right now, You forever will be here with me.
In Your presence I will sing songs that praise Your name,
I will singloudly with no shame of how You conquered the grave.
In Your presence is where I belong, grant my heart just this one song to sing You forever and ever.
Hallelujah You are my King, hallelujah to You I will sing.
Though I know not very much, I've known You not very long.
The little I can give I will give You through this song.
You were before and You are right now, You forever will be here with me.
You forever will be here with me.
12. Victory
After all these years, after all ive come to know, after eveything i’ve seen,
I am proud, I am proud of who You have made me to be,
and I know I can stand here,with fire in my eyes & my brothers at my side.
Nothing can defeat me.
I see through all the lies.
For in the name of Christ we declare our victory.
This truth I hold has destroyed my enemy.
Victory.
Jesus has come & paid the price for every single life.
On the cross, blood bought victory, we stand redeemed, we stand redeemed.
Victory.
By His blood we stand redeemed.
Metanoia (2015)
1. Remove The Pulse
What life have you built for yourself?
What do you know about the heart you've never held?
Rip your heart from your chest.
Does it still beat in your hand?
The heart we feel is led by the state of heart we live in.
2. Break Of Dawn
Fallen through hell and back again,
Recollect with full vision.
No rest each night
I am haunted by demons out of sight
Assuring me that there is no way out.
All I have is measured by incapability.
No way out for me if I live free of a remedy.
How is this so hard to shake?
I'm so willing to change.
What can I make of this life if I'm unable to break free.
My outcry for life is swallowed by the night sky.
My outcry for life is swallowed by the night sky.
I'm being hopeful for once
The sunrise I seek is moments from my eyes.
Gazing upon the sky
Longing for the departure of night.
I'm being dragged away
Into endless night
Without putting up a fight.
I owe it to myself to fight the oppression,
Enduring till morning, to stop it from starting.
Will I wallow in my self-defeat and paralyzing deceit?
Will I ever find peace of mind or more demons to come and destroy my life?
Facing my greatest fear,
A fear of dying here.
Dying with no air in my lungs to spare.
Will I live to see the end?
Will I see the sun rise?
I'm being hopeful for once
The sunrise I seek is moments from my eyes
Gazing upon the sky
Longing for the departure of night.
Forever
Looking towards the skyline.
Towards the skyline
Forever
Awaiting the sun to rise.
Waiting for the break of dawn.
3. Further From Hate
You've lifted the greatest burden off my life.
Waking up, in company of all I love.
This grace is what I know; it shields me from the cold.
Each one of us has made the other whole.
The sun rests on my shoulder, it guides me on and on.
I once resided on the other side of life and love.
Now peace has hold of me and I see clearer than ever before.
Hopeful for what my life has in store.
My spirit, soul and mind have come alive.
Alive.
Alive inside.
Love, has its grip on me.
Two become one in His full sight.
My insecurity and vulnerability, wiped away.
Each day I face, I am further from hate, compassion is at the forefront of my faith.
Waking up in company of all I love.
This grace is what I know; it shields me from the cold.
Each one of us has made the other whole.
Because of You, in this life, I am further from hate.
Overrun by grace.
Further from hate.
Overrun by grace, further from…
I am ways away.
I am further from hate.
4. The Divide
I'm growing too weak to stand here on my own two feet.
And if I fall, how will I ever find the comfort?
And if I fall, will I ever return to You?
If I let this state of mine decide how I fumble through my life
All the pieces of my broken heart can't build me a way to your blinding sight.
Cannot find me a way to all that is right.
I continue on, I know that I will never return.
Not now, not ever.
All my thoughts have been lost, taken by ghosts that haunt the living.
Did I ever care about anything other than how I appear?
I left who I am on the inside to die, to give the surface a fighting chance,
To paint the picture of who I am.
All this fear I hid inside, you promised to take from me.
Perfect love is all I need to make me strong not weak.
So take this burden from me, leaving me white as snow.
Take this burden from me and make me, make me whole.
All my faults are made strong, much harder to wipe from my conscience.
Reinforced by my own self-destruction.
Pick yourself up off the floor.
Pick yourself up off the floor.
I continue on, I know that I will never return.
Not now, not ever.
This isn't a dream where I just wake up.
I've hit the bottom with no rope to pull me up.
To get me out.
Get me out.
Caught on the other side of the divide.
5. Mountainside
The same searchlights coming to find me, coming to save my life, are the same ones blinding my eyes, leaving me to die.
Forever lost on this mountainside.
The same searchlights coming to find me, coming to save my life, are the same ones blinding my eyes, leaving me to die.
Will I ever get off this mountainside?
6. Unharness
[feat. Mattie Montgomery]
How can you lie through your teeth,
And force your ways on all you meet?
I will resist you, and I will stand against your schemes.
I fought, and lost a battle against you before.
But I return twice as strong, with the armor and shield I sought for so long.
I will watch you fall.
Back in the hole from which you came from.
If you try to face me, I will strike you down with the force of an army.
All your hope is lost when you fight for your own cause.
Free of resolve.
I'll have no part of your ways and your wicked heart.
I'll stand between you and all those that I love, with protection from above.
I will stand against you dark and dead
I will fight until by dying breath.
I have no intention of ever letting you crush my defenses.
[Mattie]
With each stride, I'm marching towards the front lines.
Face to face with your kind.
Opposing the ideals of the life I choose to lead.
You're making threats to me.
I'll destroy everything you build up to cut me down.
I will stand against you dark and dead, I will fight until by dying breath.
I have no intention of ever letting you crush my defenses.
My strength and approach is determined by how close I hold You.
When You draw near, I depart from the fear.
When I love as You love, my enemy is left with no ground to stand on.
When You gave Your life for us, a life I'll bear before me.
When I love as You love, the enemy trembles at my feet.
When I love as You love, my spirit is breaking free.
When I love as You love, my life is made complete.
You gave Your life for us so that we can live in peace.
7. Metanoia
What I know is that a life without love is no life at all.
Hope is the key to answering the call.
It's written on your heart.
You find that all your hopes and dreams
Are dead and gone.
You think each person of value
Has left you alone.
You should know
There is no one in this world even worth counting on
Besides, there's a fire burning in your eyes
That you cannot disguise
Even if you tried
Even if you tried
There's a purpose for your life you cannot hide
It's written on your heart in the clearest of white.
Burning bright.
You should know, hope found its way, found its way to me
You too can be changed forever.
It's written on your heart.
You should know, hope found its way, found its way to me
You too can be changed forever.
Will you remain as you are?
I've felt your pain,
I know your pain,
I've felt your pain.
We all make the same mistakes.
We all wear the scars we've won.
I too lived with the same uncertainty.
But hope found me.
Now you know me.
Hope found a home in me.
Now you know me.
Hope found its home.
You should know, hope found its way, found its way to me
You too can be changed forever.
It's written on your heart.
You should know, hope found its way, found its way to me
You too can be changed forever.
Return to the start
With love in your heart
You too can be changed forever.
Return to the start
With love in your heart.
8. Stitched The Same
[feat. Kyle Tamosaitis]
These words have shaped me to this day
Directed me to the path I now take.
"You have encouraged me to lead the life I always wanted to lead"
I want to be the inspiration that they need
There is no difference between you and me.
Are we all woven together?
Are we all tied in knots, because I know I'm this way?
Don't you feel the same?
Meet me half way, I'll take the stage you take the clay.
Such a humble exchange, we all find home in this place.
I hope you find what you are looking for.
But if you doubt, don't be ashamed.
Because we're all woven together, and tonight we're stitched the same.
Tonight we're stitched the same
I'm just the same as you, all my struggles and mistakes.
So let's hold each other up, because we know we've been made this way.
Cos we're all woven together
And tonight we're stitched the same.
9. White Flame
I have overcome
Every wall, every inch of myself
With no hold on the ways of this world
I have conquered my inmost defeat
Now death lays dying before my own two feet
Our path was always meant to meet
Maybe not now but soon you'll see.
This white-hot flame inside of me
Will scorch the earth
And everything that stands in my way.
Overcome!
I am no mortal
As long as this spark is within me
Is within me
As it engulfs me
It changes everything
My soul is on fire for reasons
Made certain by desires found in me
But what choice did I have?
But what choice did I have?
They engraved my back
With this detailed map,
Showing the plan
That I should outlast
I can feel it burning under my flesh
This feeling has averted me to this very second
This moment means everything
I have come to life
Life
As it engulfs me
It changes everything
My soul is on fire for reasons
Made certain by desires found in me
My eyes are burning
My eyes are burning
My eyes are burning
My eyes are burning with desire
Scorch the earth
Scorch the earth
We have overcome
We have overcome
We have overcome
The white flame burns in me
10. Awaken The Heart
I remember the words You said to me
They still ring true as if You said them yesterday
Giving up is never an option
You may find it hard but they have forgotten
The love they have left is never far from them
Though this world has turned cold
I'll let the warmth embrace me
And lead me on my way home
Through these streets I roam, thinking all along
Awaken the heart
We have numbed ourselves to the concept of love
We have forgotten how to truly embrace how to face each day
I have given all of myself to bridge the gap between heaven & hell
All coming in none going out stolen from the grips of the reaper himself
I foresee pointing fingers and accusations aimed at me
Our methods may not be of ease
But we're spreading His love with our arms outreached
Though this world has turned cold
I'll let the warmth embrace me and lead me on my way home
Through these streets I roam, thinking all along
How can they not know?
How can they not know?
There's a void in us all, waiting to be made full.
We have numbed ourselves to the concept of love
We have forgotten what it means to say, “I'm alive and well today”
I know I will never be alone
His loving reach stretches past the farthest place that I can go
I will never be alone
Assured to me by the love He has shown
I will never be the same
My home is found in His embrace
Our goal is reached by showing love and compassion to those we meet
An entire world at peace
Covered by grace and completely set free
Our home is found in His eternal embrace
What life have you built for yourself?
What do you know about the heart you've never held?
Rip your heart from your chest.
Does it still beat in your hand?
The heart we feel is led by the state of heart we live in.
2. Break Of Dawn
