1. Tormented Forever
Cruelty and violence, inspiration from the depths
Man's inhumanity, tormented till death
Hope, lost world's injustice don't be deceived
One day one will pay, justice all will see.
Day, night, Tormented Forever.
One day, Satan will be thrown into the lake
A lake not of water, but a burning sulphur lake
Day, night, forever and ever with the false prophet and beast
Never ending agony, the pain will never cease.
Day, night, Tormented Forever.
Listen to me now for this concerns you,
If you do not accept Christ, you will be thrown in too!
If your name is not found in the Book of Life
There will never ever be an ending to your strife.
Day, night, Tormented Forever.
Day, night, Tormented Forever.
The lake of fire is the second death
No one can return
In Jesus there is an escape
Now is the time surrender
Turn away from unrighteousness
Giving all to Christ
You will not only find joy in this life
But in the life to come.
2. The Charmer
Hold my hand, I'll take you to forbidden lands
Behold your queen.
Speak these words, intoxicating all who've heard
A mind naive.
Enter the trance, desires and dreams that'll enhance
Caressed by skill
Beyond the door, what lies there you must explore
Melting your will.
Blinded eyes, heed his lies
Visions of lust
Safe at first, now you're cursed
Crumbling to dust.
Now I return to my distraught shell
The masque of falseness has taunted me well
The Charmer is laughing, has left me to die
Deceived with power, I've swallowed the lie.
In the last days, there shall not be found
One of you standing upon holy ground
The witch will burn, the Charmer flee
From Jesus the Lord of all purity.
Hold his hand, He'll lead you to the promised land
Behold the Throne
Sing His praise, surrender to the Son He raised
The journey home.
3. Forbidden Desires
Welcome to the tainted eden
See Adam eat at the fruit forbidden.
Garden burning, crimson passions
The mesmerising song of sirens.
Temptation's thorn piercing unsoiled flesh
Desire gives birth to death.
Fall of Man
Fall of Man
Welcome to the fallen paradise
See Adam craves, her words entice.
Gather round the beckoning vine
The serpent whispers seduction's rhyme.
Temptation's thorn piercing unsoiled flesh
Desire gives birth to death.
Fall of Man
Fall of Man
4. I Of The Needle
Huddled in a corner, unseen by a world so vast
There lies a trampled figure, with eyes of smokey glass.
Searching for a future, distorted by the past,
Shattered in an instant by a shot too good to last.
Pushing, pulling, pressure's crushing,
Running harder to get away
Time nears reaping, death's door's greeting
Slipping further to dismay.
Delirium rules an innocent life, a diet of tears and dope
The strangling grip of a punctured vein, a life of faded hope
Looking to the needle now, looking to the rope
The light flickers weakening, unable now to cope.
Pushing, pulling, pressure's crushing,
Running harder to get away
Time nears reaping, death's door's greeting
Slipping further to dismay.
Oh Lord, I am a burnt up offering
High on desolation
My God too long have I been
Shadowed by my fears.
Your love is way beyond all
Human comprehension.
I pray, that you'll kill the pain
And wipe away the tears.
5. Expletive Deleted
Their tongues speak of Christ
Then filth is spat upon the ground
Obscenity flavoured Christianity
The new alternative sound.
The cancer gets accepted and spread even more
Turn with me to Ephesians 5, 3 and 4
One way to see some darkness defeated
Concentrate on getting
The Expletive Deleted
Their tongues speak of Christ
Then tales of immorality
All those immoral, impure or greedy
Will pay the penalty!
The cancer gets accepted and spread even more
Turn with me to Ephesians 5, 3 and 4
One way to see some darkness defeated
Concentrate on getting
The Expletive Deleted
6. Dr. Hatchet
Dr. Hatchet dressed to kill
A woman's right a twisted will
How much for the slaughter of a baby child
Aborted victim of a world defiled
Hanging from the gallows in a hospital room
Claiming of a life in a medical tomb.
Dr. Hatchet dressed in white
How can you sleep at night?
Lives you've taken and thrown away
You'll have to give account on judgement day.
A woman sits waiting in a chair
Soon to be shackled inside the snare
Inside this room spotless and clean
The victim's blood is never seen
Your unborn taken, ripped in two
The one so helpless relying on you.
Dr. Hatchet dressed in white
How can you sleep at night?
Lives you've taken and thrown away
You'll have to give account on judgement day.
But Dr. Hatchet, you're only a man
You are part of a larger plan
Prepared by evil in the darkness below
You've been deceived, too blind to know
The slaughter can stop, don't let it go on
There is forgiveness in the risen Son.
7. Locked Up In Chains
It's so cold in here
I'm lonely and tired
But I cannot sleep
There's death in the air
There's a pain in my head
Would I be better off dead?
Locked up in chains, sentenced to die
Nobody present to hear my cry
Locked up in chains, sentenced to die
Nobody present to hear my cry.
Prisoner for Christ, my only crime
Is preaching His word, so truth can be heard
I've been locked inside, they say I'm insane
Beaten me, starved me
Left me in pain.
Locked up in chains, sentenced to die
Nobody present to hear my cry
Locked up in chains, sentenced to die
Nobody present to hear my cry.
Arrested and chained, taken away
Away from my home, from the people who love me
I've been locked inside, they say I'm insane
Beaten me, starved me
Left me in pain.
Locked up in chains, sentenced to die
Nobody present to hear my cry
Locked up in chains, sentenced to die
Nobody present to hear my cry.
Sometimes I lose hope
But I know I can find strength
In my Saviour who died
He suffered and bled
I know he's waiting for me
If I die, I know he's waiting for me
Pray for me!
8. Acoustic Interlude
[Instrumental]
9. Katie
Born into a world of hate
Cast out, by the hands of vanity
Body, twisted, a wall of pain
Jesus save me from this dying humanity [x2]
(Her) existence a gift bestowed by the nail pierced hands
(The) struggles never ending, haunting her every breath
(Her) witness a rose in a cold and desolate land
(Her) faith so strong, defying death.
A hurting blemished infancy wrought with affliction scars
(Her) strength, tower divine, (A) comfort to never cease
(Her) love a river of hope, pulling down the prison bars
(The) fear a distant voice, taken by the prince of peace.
Now is the time, my Lord does call
To walk with him throughout eternity
The Son of God has given all
Releasing me from the grip of my infirmity
The heavens are opening wide
My Saviour stands at my side
My form is tortured no more
His Blood, my body, restored.
10. Epilogue
I'm lost in the halls of death
Beloved Father rescue me
Nevermore will I fight for breath
Please Lord, give me the Key.
