SAVING GRACE LYRICS

1. Behind Enemy Lines

2. For so Long

Raaaaaawwww
hhhhhhooooooo
Eeeeaaaaarah
Yyyeeeeeaaaaaaahhhh
Wwwwwwweeeeeeeee

For so long
For so long
For so long...

For so long I’ve heard, so many people crying out to God for His
forgiveness.
They raise their eyes towards His heaven and cry out from blackened sinful
lives.
When His mercy helps them live.
They turn their backs and fall into the world.
They turn their backs and fall into the world.

Reeehoo!

You take for granted
the gift of Jesus’ passion
knowing your life
can be redeemed,
but bear in mind that His return is near
and if your life is anchored by your vices
you will be shunned
for you walked the widest path.
The widest path.
The widest path.
The widest path.
The widest path.

Stand ready
Upheld by Christ
Living the life
He made you to.
And praise His name
For He is Holy... Holy!

3. The Most Beautiful Promise

...and then He swore to me.
Swear did He silently.
He’d stay right next to me.
Said He’d be there for me.
And in my times of need
He said He’d give to me strength I need to survive
The bloodshed of this life.
And the wounds I sustained would heal and leave no scars.
He said He’d die for me.
He’d die a thousand times.
This brought tears to my eyes and I fell to my knees.
I opened up my heart and let his life consume me. Consumed... My heart... and healed... My wounds.

And after a lifetime of lies and broken promises,
his words made my mind swell with love and passion.
Into your arms I commit my life.
Into your will I commit myself.
Into your hands I commit my heart.
Into your hands I commit my spirit.

I gave my life, my Life, my Heart, my Soul!!!
And without parting my lips I gave him thanks.
I gave him praise.

4. A Poets's Burial

To write another song of heartbreak. To lose the will to live again.
To write another song of hatred. To feel the urge to kill again.
To feel the urge to kill again.
To feel the urge to KILL!

To write another song of heartbreak. To lose the will to live again.
To write another song of hatred. To feel the urge to kill again.
Oooohhhhh!

The same old tired numbness.
Nothing different but the pen.
I’m bleeding nonetheless.
I don’t think I’ll try again.
Instead I’ll draw close to Christ
and prove myself to Him.
Instead I’ll draw close to Christ
and prove myself to Him.
OOOHHH!

I find me all by myself again
and see that I am free from within.
I find me all by myself again
and see that I am free from within.
I find me all by myself again
and see that I am free from within.
I find me all by myself again
and see that I am FREE!

WWWWWWEEEEEEE!
OH!

The urge to seek the comfort of another
angel’s arms has died with everything else...
The urge to seek the comfort of another
angel’s arms has died with everything else...

I’m... Dead... To You...

Solitude is safety in my own arms.
Solitude is safety in my own arms.
Solitude is safety in my own arms.
Solitude is safety in my own arms.

5. Just a Second

Slave on your knees.
You’re a slave on your knees...
Slave on your knees.
You’re a slave on your knees!

Raaaawwww!

Or maybe your back?
I guess it must just
depend on what takes your fancy at the time huh?
Validation injected below the waist line,
below the ’waste’ line.
Euphoric uplift unbeatable.
UNBEATABLE!

With fingernails embedded
in flesh gasping, shaking,
"What the bloody hell is going on?
It's the German.
Break it down."
WAKE!

Perfect pleasure alright
but it would seem that
monogamy is monotony and
your thirst is unquenchable.
Drown in your ocean of intoxicated ecstasy
(Ecstasy)
Drown in your ocean of intoxicated ecstasy
(Ecstasy)

So weak, so weak, so weak.
SO WEEEAAAK!

You’re so much less than you claim to be.
You’re so much less than you claim to be.
Slave to the world. Slave to desire. Slave to selfishness.
Killing your heart. Killing your freedom. Killing the gift of love.
Slave to the world. Slave to desire. Slave to selfishness.
Killing your heart. Killing your freedom. Killing the gift of LOVE!

Surrender yourself!
Surrender yourself!
Surrender yourselfishness!
Slave to yourself. I give up in you.
Surrender yourself! I give up on you.
Slave to yourself. I give up in you...
Now drown!

6. The Eye of the Storm

7. Even As I Bleed

With tattered wrists!
Yeeeooooohhh!
and shattered fists I raise my hands to skies above.
On bloody knees I bow before my Lord.
With tattered wrists and shattered fists I raise my hands above.
On bloody knees I pray.
I PRAY!

On bloody knees
I bow before my Lord.
On bloody knees
I bow before my Lord.
I pray!
I PRAY!

Even as I bleed.
Reho!
Praise be to you my God.
Even as I bleed.
Thanks given to You Jesus.
Even as I bleed.
Praise be to you my God.
Even as I bleed.
Thanks given to You

For without struggle there would be no progress.
And without nightfall the sun’s beauty’d be mundane.
Glory!
To You!
My merciful Father!
I love You.
WeeeeYOU!
I’m! Humbled! Yet! Again!

8. In Your own Hands

GO!

You were told there was no hope for you and you believed it.
Raped day after day by a world that knows little of..
Compassion!
And you conceived its bastard child.
Now inside the sickness grows.
It swells and pressure builds.

You know it hurts you but you can’t quite figure out why.
So instinctively you drown it in poison.
You know it hurts you but you can’t quite figure out why.
So instinctively you drown it in poison.

Poison!
Poison!
Poison!
Poison!
Poison!


But that glamour is temporary and eventually the cracks begin to show. You
scramble grabbing whatever you can find and hold onto it until it breaks
for the pressure. This cycle repeats.

Until there’s nothing left
Until there’s nothing left
Nothing!

And you seem to think that there’s but one way out.
Such a shame. Such a waste of life.
Such a selfish choice.
Such a selfish choice.
Choice!

UH!
In your own hands!
My heart bleeds for your soul!

9. U Becoming You

OH!
In a time where fitting in is such
a crucial part of existence,
self compromise hits an all time high
and self-respect, self-awareness has died.
WHY?

Where has integrity gone?
Where has acceptance gone?
Is individuality not beautiful?
Where has integrity gone?
Where has acceptance gone?
Is individuality not beautiful?

Just another pretty face in the heaving sea of bodies.

Not you.
Not even human.
Just another mindless drone walking the path of submission.
Your eyes glazed over and your mind numbed by years of sedation.
Submission!
Submission!
Submission!
Submission!

I know that somewhere...
Down there beneath
that facade lies...
a neglected human being.
Just begging to see
the light of day.
Just begging to know...
the love of self.
SELF!

Bring that beautiful complexity to the world.
Give it a new lease on life.
Burn the guidelines.
Burn the pin-ups.
Be yourself. Not what they want you to be.
Ignore their expectations.
Ignore the lies they tell you.
Ignore your self-rejection.
Ignore THEM!

Be yourself. Not what they want you to be.
Be who you are. Know who you are.
Be yourself. Not what they want you to be.
Be who you are. Know who you are.

OH!
Just be yourself.
Just be yourself.
Just be yourself.
OH!

BREAK IT DOWN!
