ACE AUGUSTINE LYRICS

1. Justifiers

I’ve been to the bottom, where I fought my past. Reaping the silence is how I finished last.
Go away, you’ve done your damage here. Leave this place, you’ve cost us so much fear.

All these days I’ve been hiding from you, from the truth.
The weight that my heart holds is devastating.
You fooled me once, you’ve fooled me twice.
And to think I’d fall for your games again.
Abandon your cargo, this place is rigged.

To my Father, You’ve seen the worst in me.
Captive inside this place, the blueprints failed me, there’s no escape.
Captive inside this place, the blueprints failed me, there’s no escape.

Where will I go when I’m gone? Where will I turn to in these hard times?
For Jesus Christ, my savior. I’ve found my home and it lies in You... lies in You.

I’ll stand my ground, I am who I am, and you won’t change me.
I’ll stand my ground, I am who I am, and you won’t change me.

He who will not reflect is a broken man.
Who are you to judge me, your lies are spilling through your eyes.
Who are you to judge me, your lies are spilling through your eyes.
The tables have turned (the tables have turned),
I’m not your pawn (your pawn), I won’t play games any longer.

2. 2013 Looks Promising

Reminiscing, you’ve been reminiscing your foes for too long.
Now get a grip on your goals, and push through your struggles... your struggles.

Sometimes the problem lies within the main source.
Can you find the courage to stand up for your inner being... to stand up for your inner being.

Swim deeper for your strength. Walk further for your wisdom.

The defendant has stepped forward. The defendant has stepped forward.
The defendant has stepped forward. The defendant has stepped forward.
For time is of the essence, repent, repent and be clean... be clean.

Temptation never looked better on anyone else.
The man in the mask looks inviting, but please remember yourself.
Temptation never looked better on anyone else.
The man in the mask looks inviting, but please remember yourself.

You chose your path where there’s hope, now let’s move forward.

This is a callout to the world, and all the stars in the sky will burst.

Unmask yourself, my enemy, for you’re a sinner.
Unmask yourself, my enemy, for you’re a sinner.

3. Jonah Spoke Of Innocence

Goodbye, you’ve chosen your path. I’m sticking to mine. Who’s going to stop you now.

Look back to the times where we’ve pointed out the stupidity of society...
Oh... ...of society... of society.
Never again will I rage this war with myself.
Never again will I bow down on... on my knees.
Never again will I rage this war with myself.

When all is said and done I will hold strong. When all is said and done I will hold strong.

Nothing will stop me now. I’ve made my stand, and I’m never going back, I’m never going back.
I’ve made my choice, so I’ll use this voice and believe.
Making waves in these dark waters isn’t as easy as it looks.
Nothing will stop me now. Nothing will stop me now.
Nothing will stop me now. Nothing will stop me now.

For I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Oh.... Oh....
No, nothing will stop me. No, nothing will stop me. No...

4. Negotiations

Lower the flag again. The color white never seemed so justifying.
How does it feel to be on the horns of a bull.
When will you learn that I don’t back down.

The thoughts that run my mind still give me the chills.
Redeeming sorrow, but still you continue.
So patch up the holes in yourself and press onward... and press onward.
The frays of the rope are pulling you deeper. Your lucky compass is failing you now.

Set your sites, set your sites on north,
and show the world what you’re made of... what you’re made of.
Make your move, make your mark on the world,
and show them what you’re made of... what you’re made of.
Set your sites, set your sites on north,
and show the world what you’re made of... what you’re made of.
Make your move, make your mark on the world,
and show them what you’re made of... what you’re made of.

Make your move, make your mark this time.
There’s no second chance, this is not a test, this is your life.

Stuck in this white world. Walls caving in. Walls caving in. The tides will turn.

I will be there for you. I will be there for you. I’ll see this through. I’ll be there. I’ll be there.

You’re on my turf now. You’re on my turf now. Cause you’re on my turf now.
Searching, swiftly, all your life, you can’t hide.
Searching, swiftly, I’m there for you, I’m here for you.
Take my hand, we’ll make it through. Searching, swiftly, all your life, you can’t hide.

Oh, no, I won’t let you down. Can you hear the glory of the trumpets.

6. Delorean

We walked the line, and made it out on the other side.
We were so blind, how can we see when we can’t open our eyes?
(We walked the line) We walked the line, and made it out on the other side.
We were so blind, how can we see when we can’t open our eyes?

Open your eyes. And see how dangerous it could be to see what we’ve consumed.
We’re living without a purpose, living without a compass.
On a ship without a captain, we’ll sink into the blackness.
Of an ocean depth so deep we can’t find light to help us see.

Pour salt in my wound, stitch up my face. Will I make it out of this place?
Forget the past, stand eye to eye, show your scars, this is your fight.

The wicked will fall. The wicked will cease to exist.
Their cities will burn. They’ll crumble beneath their feet.
(As wicked) As wicked we’ll fall. As wicked we’ll cease to exist.
Our cities will burn. They’ll crumble beneath our feet.

We’re no better than anyone else, so why do we pretend?
We’re no better than anyone else, but we can change ourselves.
We’re no better than anyone else, so why do we pretend?

So as you sit on your faulty throne, making promises you cannot keep.
One day you’ll be overthrown, till then we will not sleep... we will not sleep.

We will tear apart this wasteland, in search of the truth.
We will tear apart this wasteland, in search of the truth.
