A PLEA FOR PURGING LYRICS

1. Sons Of Vipers, How Will You Escape The Judgement Of Hell

Fear your drama to the serpents, your lies.
Your stench fills the air, your lies.
Oh this city is yours you say?
Well hide behind your walls cause your city is crumbling down.
Body count,
How many more would have to die with the kiss of a viper?
Mock me.
Stalk my words.
Wait for my move.
I smell the fear on you.
Raise your glasses high cause you won't have the hands that hold those cups for long.
Wear your face.
Wear it well.
No flesh could hide what's inside.
Wear your face.
Wear it well.
No flesh could hide that which is behind.
Life not designed by your words,
Spit out your filth,
It doesn't add up.
Now your time has come.
Creep back to your hole.
Two hundred fifty steps of sorrow

2. While The Sparrow Sleeps

Outside these city walls I sing
while the sparrow sleeps.
These hands couldn't raise any higher.
This heart couldn't find a deeper hole.
With your blood on my hands,
I speak more about you than with you.
The work of my hands is not yet my prayer.
If a song is just a song, will my voice be heard.
You who are so close
if you would ask, then ask
how high could one man's praises raise?
My lips are longing for the kiss of your praises.
Outside these city walls
I sing while the sparrow sleeps.
These hands couldn't raise any higher.
This heart couldn't find a deeper hole

3. The Slaying Of The Serpentine Dragon

I chose to wave black flags.
Infantry mounted, swords raise up over head.
This war has raged for endless days.
Upon each day the sun rose red.
Flames scorched this parchment and tells of this paradise.
Where battles siege and angels scream, there's blood on our hands tonight.
Judas.
This life was bound by blood and fire.
It's just a compromise
Now go, walk away from me.
This is the only chance to hang my head and rest in the lurking of your shadows.
I chose to wave black flags.
Assisting lifeless until you find me, my good Samaritan.
I choose to wave black flags but you love me, I know you love me

4. The Betrayers

We are betrayers of perfection
Love spoken from these lips means nothing
All eyes on me
Looking left from right
Pulling poison from petals
Crimson roses corrode
Murder meadow
Death fills your harvest
In fields of blood
Your betrayals stretch for miles
Oh how my hands do shake
Stretched out to receive
The coins sing, as they hit the ground
Oh, how the silver shines in our eyes
We are betrayers of perfection

5. Perseverance

Oh God,
You who are so wise,
where is the joy in my trials?
Weak, I'm tossed about.
You who are so wise,
give me your strength.
Perseverance.

I stand stronger

You do not tempt me.
It is my death that tempts me.
Death disguised.

My sin leads to death.

Mirror, mirror
tell me your lies

Look after look my face is the same.

Oh God from the heavenly lights above,
pull me from these shadows.
Oh God wake me from this dream.
Save me from me from me.

Oh watchman, watchman,
what's left of the night?

6. The Resurrection Of The Beast

This night brings with it glory,
these hearts a victory song,
these eyes the flames of passion.

Watching now, the skies are splitting,
drying now the ocean's parch.
Cracking now, these lands are barren.

Trying are these times and seasons,
the rising son shall bring the brave.
Raising fists and shout in glory,
the innocent shall soon be saved.

Tears were shed as hearts were shattered,
walked upon as broken glass.
Left to die, were those who gathered,
children first and women last.

Tears were shed.

Black flags raised,
as they were slain.
Black flags raised,
blood red will burn these embers.

Scribes to your scrolls,
marching drums alert the towers,
to tell the tail as kingdoms fall,
as we sing our victory song.

Though in the end, these walls may crumble.
Though in the end, I too may fall.
I live to hear those trumpets sounding,
victory in their final call

7. A Hymn Of Praise

I will extol you my God
O King I will bless your name
With the reason of everyday
I will praise your name forever

One generation speaks your name
of the glorious splendor
highly to be praised

As men pour forth like a fountain
the praises of your grace
highly to be praised

I'll sing it loud, I'll sing it loud
abounding in mercy
and loving-kindness

I'll sing it loud, I'll sing it loud
your saints praise your tender mercies
highly to be praised.

O Lord, My King.
My eyes wait for you
Your open hand provides
gracious and merciful

You who are so close to me
hear my cry
hear my prayer

My lips speak your praise
I'll sing your name
forever and ever

8. Death Has Been Swallowed Up In Victory

They came from the hills
By the hundreds of thousands they swarmed
They marched in the shroud of the eve
Their flags raised high

Leaving nothing but tears in their wake
Mauling the weak, no mercy shown
Not a life was spared

Blood to earth, blade to bone
Declaring a world of ruin upon me
Overthrow His Majesty (Hey!)

Echoed through the trees
With the sound of war [2x]

Still... I killed them all
My God I watched them die... watched them die

It became so hard
To scream through their silence

I fought back against this evil wave
I watched as white flags raised
With His strength I march this crusade
With their last bleeding, berth they paid

Victims made, victims laid [2x]

Victory, victory, victory, victory
Cry victory, victory, victory

VICTORY IS MY FOREVER!!!

9. Everything And Nothing

Oh bishop of souls,
Break me out. Break me away. Make me aware.
This is the day and age.

I call out.
This will be my battle cry.
I call out.

For your kingdom, for your glory
for your eyes to fall upon me.
For your eyes like stars, to fall on my face,
a love that keeps my soul still yearning.
For your eyes like stars, to fall on my face,
a love that keeps my heart still burning.

I've been stuck at this crossroads for way too long.
Between everything and nothing, I stood
I've been stuck at this crossroads for way too long.
Without you I couldn't take one step

Break me out. Break me away. Make me aware.
This my day and age.

I can't take one step without you.
I can't take one step alone

10. Turn It Down

There is blood on our hands tonight.
So this is where the world lies behind the son of man, now go,
sell your soul,
for this world will offer nothing.
Well I have invented angels of my own.
They are false and untrue.
Crawling, cowering they still my shroud.
When I swear from the blazing son above,
uncovered, so shall I fall.
This is where my bones will rest,
in the desert of forsakeness.
Watch your back cause the sky is turning black.
Don't listen, for I will make you a liar.
Closed off by crossed arms,
there is no worship here.
So put your foot down,
so quick to eject and reject.
