ALTARS LYRICS

1. Something More

The answers that I've asked for over the past few years
Have been revealed to me through my friends and my enemy (My enemy is me)
I can never repay you for what you gave me
I can never repay you for saving me but I do the best I can
To tell my heart to forget the ways of man
(Forget the ways of man)

I'm still searching for something more

The answers that I've asked for over the past few years
Have been revealed to me through my friends and my enemy (My enemy is me)
I can never repay you for what you gave me
I can never repay you for saving me but I do the best I can
To tell my heart to forget the ways of man

Take my voice, take my voice
Take my voice, take my voice
Take my voice, take my voice
Take my voice, take my voice
Take my voice, take my voice

Take my voice and use it for something more!

2. Question Everything

Only you can free yourself

When the lies that surround you
Have brought you to your knees
When the darkness engulfs you
I know just what you need
In a world divided
It seems there's no single truth
That couldn't be more misguided
Hope is the absolute

There's a darkness growing
I see it in the streets
Don't let them tell you it's wrong to
Question everything

Question everything
Seek truth
Spread Hope

Red Brick Army
Seek truth
Spread hope

3. Eternity

The story has changed
The meaning's been lost from page to page
How did we let it get this way?
How can something so simple and pure
Be turned into something so sinister?

Where is the hope, where is the love?
Without these your system will self destruct
Where is the hope, where is the love?
Without these your system will self destruct

My eyes see differently
The parts of the world you choose not to see
The people living in misery
Are the people you write off so blindly

Where is the hope, where is the love?
Without these your system will self destruct
Where is the hope, where is the love?
Without these your system will self destruct

Pray for me
Because we don't see eye to eye
The word has promised life
Yet you condemn billions
Billions to die

You're committing religious mass genocide

Where is the hope, where is the love?
Without these your system will self destruct
Where is the hope, where is the love?
Without these your system will self destruct

You can't change our place in eternity
You won't change my place in eternity

4. Sent To Destroy

You file in week by week
Sit back and shut your mouth and hear the preacher preach
They say that this is for you
Don't listen to what they told you
This is so wrong
There's so much more
Why don't you take the time to examine what you're living for?
They say that this is for you
Don't listen to what they told you

All my life it's the same thing
I've seen it time and time again
Sheep aren't herded by the truth
Instead they're lost by the lies of man
If you feel how I feel and see we need a change
I encourage you to take action or things will stay the same

Could it be that everything we've built
Is what we're sent here to destroy
Sent to destroy

You file in week by week
Sit back and shut your mouth and hear the preacher preach
They say that this is for you
Don't listen to what they told you
This is so wrong
There's so much more
Why don't you take the time to examine what you're living for?
They say that this is for you
Don't listen to what they told you

Something is terribly wrong
In a world where a man of religious influence
Is given the right to control the lives of others around him
Something is terribly wrong
In a world where a text can be manipulated for one groups favor
While leaving others in the dark
Something is terribly wrong
In a world where a church can tell you how to use your voice
for their gain
Something is terribly wrong

I am sent to destroy

You file in week by week
Sit back and shut your mouth and hear the preacher preach
They say that this is for you
Don't listen to what they told you
This is so wrong
There's so much more
Why don't you take the time to examine what you're living for?
They say that this is for you
Don't listen to what they told you

5. Transparency

Why should I try to hide what's held inside?
Why should we be afraid of each other's beliefs?
It's been so long and it's taking its toll
The fear of judgement has caused us to lose control
Why should you be above somebody else?
I wonder if you're even being honest with yourself
It's been so long and your lies have taken hold
The fear of losing your power is in control

And I wonder what this world could be
If we all lived transparently
Like a window for the world to see
That deep down we are all the same breed

A need for life
A need for love
A need to wake up and see the sun above
Why can't this world see?
There's nothing different between you and me

Transparency
So the world can see
We are all the same breed

Why should I try to hide what's held inside?
Why should we be afraid of each other's beliefs?
It's been so long and it's taking its toll
The fear of judgement has caused us to lose control
Why should you be above somebody else?
I wonder if you're even being honest with yourself
It's been so long and your lies have taken hold
The fear of losing your power is in control

And I wonder what this world could be
If we all lived transparently
Like a window for the world to see
That deep down we are all the same breed

6. Revolutions

Are you tired of seeing the world collapse all around you?
I can't imagine standing still
Sometimes the thought of action might seem so beyond us
What's the point?
It's not enough?
What can I do?

I just can't believe the world around me turns so aimlessly
Open eyes can see that revolution is just what we need

We all wonder what it means
To be a part of something
A revolution is just what we need

The union of the sick and tired is within reach
Stand together to incite the change you'd like to see
The coalition of open minds will move and speak
A better world
Is what we seek
What can I do?

I just can't believe the world around me turns so aimlessly
Open eyes can see that revolution is just what we need

We all wonder what it means
To be a part of something
A revolution is just what we need

So be a part of something

I just can't believe the world around me turns so aimlessly
Open eyes can see that revolution is just what we need

7. Caverns

Trapped in a vicious cycle
Heartbroken by this world of struggle
To escape I sink to the depths of my mind
Not realizing the loneliness I will find

All that awaits me is a place of fear
A place of despair where it used to be clear
God I'm begging you to show me out
This is my prayer to You

I'm so lost
In a world where there is no love
In a world where you can not trust the ones you look up to
God I'm so alone
In these thoughts I call my home
In these lies that I have grown
These lies are all I've known

Trapped in a vicious cycle
Heartbroken by this world of struggle
To escape I sink to the depths of my mind
Not realizing the loneliness I will find

Why am I lost inside the caverns of my mind?
Oh God please tell me why

Trapped in a vicious cycle
Heartbroken by this world of struggle
To escape I sink to the depths of my mind
Not realizing the loneliness I will find

All that awaits me is a place of fear
A place of despair where things used to be clear
God I'm begging you to show me out
This is my prayer to you

8. Break Free

More care
Less greed

I'm buried in my own head
I've got these walls around me
I peek outside now and then
Look at the bleak surroundings

Our kind is so diseased
Closed eyes closed minds hypocrisy
Just look around and see
Torn souls the pain and suffering
I think that what we need
A little more care a lot less greed
I think that what we need
Is more care less greed

More care
Less greed

Every time I sit and think about the world around me
Conviction swells in my mind and I know
Something must be done
I've got to escape my head
Won't let these walls confine me
Action is what's needed
I'm sick of all this hiding

Our kind is so diseased
Closed eyes closed minds hypocrisy
Just look around and see
Torn souls the pain and suffering
I think that what we need
A little more care a lot less greed
I think that what we need
Is more care less greed

More care
Less greed

I won't stay here forever I'll break free

9. Westboro

You may hate me, but I've got something to say to you
You can attack me all you like because I hold these words so true
I am called to live like a single man lived before me
And that one single man He wouldn't like what He sees
I'm not here to say you're wrong even though I know it's true
Westboro you may hate me, but I will always love you

I will always love you

You can hate me
It won't change me
I will choose to love

A loving family is what we're meant to be
He took the fall for humanity and this is how you see things?
Your hatred sickens me
Oh I wish I could make you see
That love is stronger than hate
And His love has set me free

I will choose to love

10. To Give

Take a look at the world around you
Tell me is it beauty that you see?
Because everywhere I look I see suffering
And that pain has corrupted everything

This is the end

We can no longer stand by and watch the world
Fall apart right before our very eyes
Take my hand and join the fight
To improve all of this Earth's life

Take a look at the world around you
Tell me is it beauty that you see?
Because it's beauty that we need

I'll never stop
Until I leave this place
Better than when I first came

We all need to realize the beauty that's meant for our lives
See yourself through our father's eyes
I see it plain and clear
Our beauty is what we need to share

Take a look at the world around you
Tell me is it beauty that you see?
Because it's beauty that we need

The driving force that gets me through everyday
Is that there's something more to give
And myself is all that's in my way
