BLOODGOOD LYRICS

1. Battle Of The Flesh

Pleasures of the flesh seem sweet
Worldly thoughts rush in
We fight and fight for mind control
Our weakness turns to sin
Pride of man makes him fall
And lust is in his eyes
Such battle that we're in
Darkness feeds us lies, lies, lies

Evil forces of this world
Passions guide our way
Anger turns our hearts to stone
And robs the words we say
It's a Battle of the Flesh
With the rulers of the air
We have power in the Son
Power we can share

Battle of the Flesh, Battle of the Flesh
Battle of the Flesh, Battle of the Flesh

Pride of man makes him fall
And lust is in his eyes
Such a battle that we're in
Darkness feeds us lies

Pleasures of the flesh seem sweet
Worldly thoughts rush in
We fight and fight for mind control
Our weakness turns to sin
Pride of man makes him fall
And lust is in his eyes
Such battle that we're in
Darkness feeds us lies, lies

2. Vagrant People

A Vagrant People you shake your fist
The blade that cuts you turn and kiss
Your master hates you and he'll have your head
But I've opened graves and raised the dead

Look to the past from which you come
Gaze in the fire eternal son

A precious treasure you save on earth
But when it burns you'll see its worth
Your plans will fail you, who'll break your fall?
You might not have a chance to call

Look to the past from which you come
Gaze in the fire eternal son
Repulse the dark and evil one

I look in your heart and see a grave of rot and decay
I advise you look and see today is fading away

A precious treasure you save on earth
But when it burns you'll see its worth
Your plans will fail you, who'll break your fall?
You might not have a chance to call

Look to the past from which you come
Gaze in the fire eternal son
Repulse the dark and evil one
Pick up your swords and fight 'til dawn

Fight, stand and fight! Fight, the good fight!
Fight, stand and fight! Fight, the good fight!

3. Self-Destruction

Pathway to heaven or highway to hell
Which one you're on is easy to tell
Live for yourself, no time for the Son
Don't blame God for your own Self-Destruction!

When it's all over, your life is done
No more chances and no place to run
You judge yourself if you turn away
Let him in, do it, do it today

The life you're leading's gonna cause you grief
You run from love, choke in disbelief
You say, "God is dead!", see what you've done
Don't blame God for your own Self-Destruction!

When it's all over, your life is done
No more chances and no place to run
You judge yourself if you turn away
Let him in!
Destruction! Destruction!

You think life is cheap, well I got some news
Jesus Christ paid a high price for you, yeah
Died a sinner's death, see what he's done
Don't blame God for your own Self-Destruction!

When it's all over, your life is done
No more chances and no place to run
You judge yourself if you turn away
Let him in, do it today!

Destruction! Destruction!
Destruction! Destruction!...

4. Alone In Suicide

Who cares, who weeps? All is lost and the sickle reaps
Blank eyes look deep, love and hope crumble to the feet
I don't care if I've made my mark on this angry world
That's left me in the dark!
Just cut a message on my stone, "I want to be alone"
(I wanna die!)

Feel the knots twisting inside
As I look to the bullets to be my guide
In a razor's edge should I confide
To open my veins and bleed them dry
Oh, the endless pressure, how can I cope?
I try to release but the valves are broke
A psychotic grasp upon my throat
I wanna hang the rope!

Death you feel is your friend
As it calls from the black unknown
Voices hounding at your mind echo to the bone...
Alone in Suicide

I used to honor my day of birth
Cherish life and place it first
But now I view it as a curse
Dig my grave and rent the hearse!
Yes, every morning I take a walk
That leads me trapped in an empty box
A liar's face and the voice that mocks
I want to stop the clock!

Death you feel is your friend
As it calls from the black unknown
Voices hounding at your mind echo to the bone
Alone in suicide

Salvation calls (to the lonely)
On the abused (redemption falls)
God gave his all (that you might know him)
Tear down the walls! What have you got to lose?

Salvation calls to all of the lonely people
Tear down the walls, you've been abused
God gave his all to all of the lonely people
He stretched out his arms and died for you!

5. Heartbeat (Of The City)

Feel the Heartbeat of the City
Hear it calling out to you
You've been robbed and you've been cheated, yeah
Be runnin' scared if you only knew

Too much time and too much money
Broken dreams and shattered hopes
Sell your soul, there's no tomorrow, no tomorrow
Your lips say, "Yes," but your heart says, "No!"

There's no way out
You're never gonna learn
You scream and shout!
Who ya gonna burn?
He's come for you
What are you gonna do?

You run, run, run but there's no escape
Your reckless love has made a trap
You made the choice but you knew better
Your faithless tears won't fill the gap

There's no way out
You're never gonna learn
You scream and shout!
Where ya gonna turn?
He's come for you
What are you gonna do?
(What you gonna do, huh?)

There's no way out
You scream and shout!
He's come for you
What are you gonna do?

Feel the Heartbeat of the City
Another time, another face
But you can't answer, you lie dyin'
Someone else will take your place
Someone else will take your place
Take your place

6. Eat The Flesh

Blackmail and robbery from the liar
He sits and stokes the coals while you're asleep
He wants to burn your souls with his fire
Never letting up or giving you relief

Broken bodies wrapped in bloody blankets
But the victory was paid for at a price
Words of peace are met with screaming bullets
Now you're looking through a soldier's eyes

A greater life abounding in the Prince of Peace
He sits in intercession for your prayers
He wants to see your souls in prosperity
He's the only one who ever really cares

Battle-worn His flesh is torn and bleeding
Eternal life comes through the souls God's feeding
Words of peace are met with screaming bullets
Now you're looking through a soldier's eyes

Mighty words He spoke to us in Spirit
For He's come to give us life

Share the Bread and Living Water
Eat the Flesh, drink the blood of Christ

Battle-worn His flesh is torn and bleeding
Eternal life comes through the souls God's feeding
Words of peace are met with screaming bullets
Now you're looking through a soldier's eyes

Mighty words He spoke to us in Spirit
For He's come to give us life

Share the Bread and Living Water
Eat the Flesh, drink the blood of Christ

7. Holy Fire

Saved by His blood
Changed by His word!

You've been hurt
You've been broken
You've been sad
And the only time you feel good
Just won't last
Just when you think you've done everything

Holy Fire (in steps the King)
Holy Fire

You're not filled
You're empty
You've been drained
And the only time you feel good
You just complain
Just when you think you've done everything

Holy Fire (in steps the King)
Holy Fire
Holy Fire (in steps the King)
Holy Fire

Saved by His blood
Changed by His word!

Holy Fire (in steps the King)
Holy Fire
Holy Fire (in steps the King)
Holy Fire

8. Crucify

[Pilate:]
Here is your King, you bring him to me
I say, "Set him free!", you say you want him to die
He has done nothing, nothing, nothing
But you say, "Crucify! Crucify! Crucify!"

You act as though this man is inciting a rebellion
No one here can prove that to be true

I have examined him in your presence
And have found no basis for your charges
Neither has Herod
So he sent him back to us as you can see
He's done nothing, nothing
Nothing to deserve the things you ask

I wash my hands of this man's blood!

[Roman Guards:]
Hail "King of the Jews!"
Prophesy! Who hit you?
Here's your crown

[Pilate:]
You act as though this man is inciting a rebellion
No one here can prove that to be true!

[Mob:]
Crucify! Crucify! Crucify!

[Pilate:]
He's your King

[Mob:]
Crucify!

[Pilate:]
Why?

[Mob:]
Crucify!

[Pilate:]
Why?

[Mob:]
Crucify!

[Pilate:]
Why?

[Pilate:]
I have the power to free him
I wash my hands!
He's done nothing
He's your King... not mine!

[Satan:]
Kill him

[Pilate:]
All right

[Satan:]
You've washed your hands, just kill him, Pilate

[Pilate:]
All right!
I wash my hands of this man's blood...
Take him!

9. The Messiah

Take him down, take him down
Move him gently, hold his head
Wipe his face, clean the blood off
Lay him here, wrap him in this cloth

Lift him up, lift him up
Move him easy, careful now
He's the Messiah

Tears are filling, eyes of sorrow
Hands are touching, no one's speaking
His eyes are empty, skin's so white
His body's cold, it has no life

He's the Messiah
He's the Messiah

Go! Into the world and tell
All of creation he lives
He lives in the hearts of men
He said, "Go! Into the world and tell
All of creation he lives
He lives in the hearts of men"

Dry your eyes, hold each other
Lift your thoughts, you are brothers
He's the Messiah

Don't be afraid, he has risen, he's not here
Why are you trembling with fear?
Just as he told you, just as he said
They could not stop him, he is not dead!

He's the Messiah
He's the Messiah

Go into the world and tell
All of creation He lives
He lives in the hearts of men
He said go into the world and tell
All of creation He lives
He lives in the hearts of men
He's alive

10. Live Wire

With a shield and a sword
He crushes evil in the name of the Lord
In the fields of war
His victory is the nails he bore
With his head held high
He speaks the truth and he hates the lie
He'll scream, he'll die
But God will raise him back to life!

He's a Live Wire
He's a Live Wire
He's on fire!

With the bend of the knee
He can move a mountain or part a sea
He's hot to the touch
Like a burning flame that availeth much
His life's a flash
He'll crack the darkness like a razor's slash
But he loves and he cares
He'll pick you up when you're in despair

He's a live wire
He's a live wire
He's on fire

His arms are huge
By the weight he carries of verbal abuse
His back is torn
With the agony of an open sore
His face is marred
The dried blood of an open scar
The gates of hell shall not prevail
'Cause he's torn the veil

He's a live wire
He's a live wire
He's on fire
