EARTH FROM ABOVE LYRICS

1. Redeemer: Greater Love

[Instrumental]

2. Burials

A sudden realization is changing our ways. Have we deliberately darkened our
own days? And now we re only 48 hours away. These times are dangerous for us.
Do not be led astray. [x2] We have walked hand in hand with friends, sinners
and transgressors. The "righteous" despise Your name. They question Your love
for others. 1000 miles of tribulations have come down to this. The time has
come for us to see if prophecies really bring us bliss. The serpent is roaming
in the garden yearning to take control. Hold fast for the Creator guards so no
one will harm us anymore. An alabaster box filled with the finest oils, cannot
begin to compare to the price of His holy blood. With it He has prepared us all
for our proper burials. Oh, how I wish that I can save you now. The truth is I
can t even save myself. I lift up my head hoping to make eye contact with You.
This awkward silence sends chills down my spine. All will be restored... it s
only a matter of time. The One true hope for mankind. This one thing I cannot
deny. So you've made this your personal endeavor: safeguard these friends from
their early graves. So you have made this your personal endeavor: safeguard
your friends from their early graves. Safeguard your friends from their early
graves.

3. Fatum

Mere men become legends by giving their all.
Mere men become legends by giving it their all.

Never waiting for some thing to happen, always in action.
We are those men, always fighting for the, the cause.
We were sent out as sheep amidst the wolves, the wolves.

Led by the strength of something that brings us to our knees.
Led by the strength of something that brings us to our knees.

This is the moment we have been waiting for.
We will shepherd the weak and lead the blind.
This is the moment we have been waiting for.
We are half way home, there s no turning back.

Gather your armies.
Pick up your weapons and follow me.
Follow me!

Gather your armies.
Pick up your weapons and follow me.
Follow me!

This war, we choose to fight.
We will fight, we will fight!
Let s stop pretending that everything is fine.
We re so uncertain of what is right.

This war that I choose to fight, this is my battle cry.
This war that I choose to fight, this is my battle cry.

We were once martyrs amongst mortals.
Kings upon men.
Where did we go wrong?
Open my eyes Lord, I want to see You.
Let me truly see You.
By the price of Your blood, and the sacrifice of life, we will all stand for
something higher than our heads.

Father!
Having the courage to fight for the ones You love.
Having the courage to fight for the ones You love.
Having the courage to die for the ones You love.
Having the courage to fight for the ones...

4. Salvaged

A new revelation of false intentions and misconceptions has been exposed. This
is how the story unfolds: [x2]

The number of deceived have been lost over the years.
Betrayed everyone who has listened with open ears.
Blessings have been mistaken for power.
Exposed our shame to hide your guilt.

How is it possible to take the broken promises back?
When all they've done is push us further and further away.
How is it possible to take the broken promises back?
When all they've done is push us further and further away... away.

We are blinded by our insecurities.
To find the beauty within is an understatement.
The assessment is no good and the prognosis is poor.
Brace yourselves (the impact is inevitable).

This crash has devastated my hopes of survival.
There s no one left to point the finger at.
I ate up all of your lies.
With every word you say, a part of me callously dies.

And now I've come to a point where all seems lost.
Father, I place my pain before your throne and acknowledge my shame.
Take everything. Use what s left of this wreckage.
Salvage the broken pieces.
Take everything. Salvage the broken pieces.

I am plagued but I am not broken.
I am plagued but I am not broken.
I am plagued but I am not broken.
I am plagued but I am not broken.
I am plagued but I am not broken.
Oppressed but still I stand.
I am plagued but I am not broken.
Oppressed but still I stand.
I am plagued but I am not broken.
Oppressed but still I stand.
I am plagued but I am not broken.
Oppressed but still I stand.

I am too weak to take this cup.
I asked for it, but had no idea it would overflow so quick in so little time.

Control has slipped through my hands and I am too crippled to grab a hold of it
once again. They've exposed our shame to hide their guilt, but love covers a
multitude of sins.

Calm these storms and rescue me from the sea! [4x]

5. Vital Signs Of A Rude Awakening

I’m not expected to be perfect, that’s far from what I am.
To have the weight of the world pushed down on your back;
that it’s so hard to maintain a steady pace.
In this world of imperfection, I’m not meant to fail.

I’m not expected to be perfect in this world.
I’m not expected to be perfect in this world.

I will not fall short again and slip through the cracks of time.
To be picked up by my brothers at my side.
I will not fall short again and slip through the cracks of time.
To be picked up by my brothers at my side.

To call out to Him and ask for His forgiveness.
A glimpse of perfection, a glimpse of what I have become.
To call out to Him and ask for His forgiveness.
A glimpse of perfection, perfection.

There’s a certain date you are born.
There’s a date you’ll eventually die.
What happens in between, goes in eternity... eternity.
There’s a date that we’re all born, and die.

Accept His presence, let Him into your life.
Accept His presence, let Him in your life.
Accept His presence, let Him into your life.
Accept His presence, let Him in your life.

6. An Abstract Struggle

Is this what you call perfection?
How can you take something so beautiful, and turn it into darkness?
We were given the world, but we destroyed it.
We were given immortality, but we threw it away. We were given life, but we
killed ourselves.

Everything that our fathers fought for is now distinct and forgotten.
Everything that our fathers died for, is now buried in our ignorance.

Blood was shed on this ground.
Blood was shed on this ground.
Blood was shed on this ground.
Blood was shed on this ground.

There is an abstract struggle within men, within men.
There is an abstract struggle within men.

There is a war that has been ongoing for ages.
When will we learn that our fight is against a different kind of enemy?
(An abstract struggle. We’ll understand. When we see Christ. When our day
comes).

"All wars are civil wars. For all men are brothers."
"All wars are civil wars. For all men are brothers."

The faithful overcome adversity, while others stumble in their own, their own
path.
The faithful overcome adversity, while others stumble in their own, their own
path.

Evil prevails when good men choose to do nothing.
Evil prevails when good men choose to do nothing.
Evil prevails when good men choose to do nothing.
Evil prevails when good men choose to do nothing.

7. Redeemed: From The Wastes

We are all sick.
We are all sick.
We are in need of a savior.
Father reedem us from the ways...

8. Numbered With The Transgressors

Numbered with the transgressors.
In our realm of self-arrogance we’ve all gone astray.
Each of us going on our own distant way.
With wicked hearts and filthy souls, we put our faith,
we put our faith to the test,
we put our faith to the test.

How foolish we were.
We’ve turned unto men in search of a new dawn.
This feeling of deceit has never felt so strong.
My God, save us now!

Took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows.
Yet we considered him stricken by God.
Pierced his bruised body alongside the afflicted and the broken, and mocked for
him to save himself.
How can we be foolish enough to think, that this man is not the One we seek?

If there ever was an example of a perfect being; this is Him.
If there ever was an example of a perfect being; this is Him.
If there ever was an example of a perfect being; this is Him.

You stood there with your beauty and all your majesty.
Beaten and mocked.
Yet you never denied us.
Crushed and broken.

Yet you never denied your love for mankind.
Put to death by the ones you came to save.
Led like a lamb to the slaughter.
Led like a lamb to the slaughter.
Led like a lamb to the slaughter... slaughter.

Wise men foretold of this Savior.
One who’ll conquer it all.
The freedom of all, paid for by the price of none, but One.
"You were sold for nothing, and without money you will all be redeemed... be
redeemed." Sinless.

Put to death for sinners.
Lord show us the way.
Teach Your Church to love.
Cleanse our generation.

He will give Him a portion among the great, and He will divide the spoils with
the strong.
For He has poured out His life unto death, and was numbered with the
transgressors.

Our redeemer.
You bore the sins of many.
Our redeemer.
You bore the sins of many.

9. Death Of Ignorance

What has happened to our integrity?
We’re suffocating in a sea of emptiness.
Our integrity has shattered, fooled by the lies and promises.
Our integrity has shattered, fooled by the lies and promises.

Reeled in the traps of villainy.
A greater evil is ignorance.
Why should we follow, when we should lead?
Take His hand.

Annex the condemned.
Bring them to light.
Their blood is on our hands.

The skies are painted red for a reason.
The skies are painted red for a reason.

This is my desire to honor You.
I am growing weary, so carry me!
This is my desire to honor You.
I am growing weary, so carry me!

When battle lines are drawn and vast conflicts arise, we stray from the truth.
We’re cowards in our fight.

Those who do not fear death, will not die!
Those who don’t fear death, will not die!
Those who don’t fear death, will not die!

This is the death of ignorance.
This is the death of ignorance.

This is my desire to honor You my God.
Without You I’m weary, so carry me in Your arms.

We weren’t robbed of our faith, we threw it away.
But now I’m taking it back to make a difference.

This is my desire to honor You my God.
Without You I’m weary, so carry me!

10. The Antidote

We were raised by a belief system that fails to pour out the truth.
Do not be misled.
Your faith in Christ will save you.

Your antics don’t impress me, you really don’t impress me.
Do not be misled.
Your faith in Christ will save you.

So slowly yet surely, this disease begins to demean us.
All along, the antidote was there.
So many of our hearts have been broken.
Far too many lies have been spoken.

The Gospel has power to change these lives.
There are no words left for all of mankind to utterly describe how merciful and
noble the Father is.
Yet your filthy testimony has suppressed the love that has been so gracefully
given... given.

The times that we have wastedand the lives that we have taken away.
In the end we’re all dying, dying for purity.
The times that we have wasted and the lives that we have taken away.
In the end we all are dying, dying for purity.

We were raised by the belief system that fails to pour out the truth.
Do not be misled.
Your faith in Christ will save you.

We are walking bombs.
Who will save us from our demise?
We are walking bombs.
Who will save us from our demise?

I’ve got news for you.
I’ve got news for you.
I’ve got news for you.
I’ve got news for you.

The burden has been lifted.
The burden has been lifted.
The burden has been lifted.
The burden has been lifted.

I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.

But the blood of Christ has washed away my shame.
But the blood of Christ has washed away my shame.
So why stand here so filthy?
But the blood of Christ has washed away my shame.
So why stand here so filthy?
But the blood of Christ has washed away my shame.

I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
