1. Gang Signs
I will bleed for the one who gave everything for me
Watch and wait
Read up!
You're going to die for that man whose blood is on my hands
So fess up his name
And be bled dry
You can see the new generation of gang signs
Beware of simple flattery
They'll hand you over in chains
Those who serve and protect just protecting their own best interest
As they serve you up to the flames
But I've got one eye to the Sky
I see just one man in the distance
So step up and feel my resistance
Even if we all die
Time is on my side
I laugh inside as they fight him
Prepare to run I can't spell it out plainly
Aww, you're befriending the system
And you're gonna get paid
And love grows cold as the sick ones hate you
Never realizing they're the ones getting played
read the signs of the end of this age
As man makes plans
The flood comes quickly
Our history's bathed in blood but lets become the copycat culture war
As this Sunday school mind takes the place of the kingdom
And I'm done with this abomination
Desolation
Vultures, vultures circling
And the world will morn as we flee
I see its over
Time is on my side
2. No One Leaves This Room Sick
Who's the foolish man?
The one who bows his will
To a sick and defeated foe
The one who fights Step from the crowd of the dying
From the shadows
Sickness, and panic, and death
Until you rise Hell fight me
This is the war I was made for
Love over all
Fight me
In this hollow faithless, shattered reality
Ill never fall
Immanuel
I am not my own
Immanuel
I am not alone
Move from the slave state
Into the moment, of youth speaking earth's fate
The highest truth
Though our number is small Were slowing growing, and we heed only king's call
As he declares
I must have, all the hopeless I hold the pure staff
Shepard of truth
Trust my work in you
As you believe me, I entrust myself too And I declare
Fight me
Come and fight me
To the generation I've seen in my dreams, you're the only option the dying world has
Its no longer time for us to play church, it's time for every one of us to stand up and depend solely on the presence of the spirit of God inside.
Kill me, smash me to the ground You'll never defeat me
Flesh and Blood
I Must Prophesy
I Will Prophesy
To the four winds
We must Prophesy
Immanuel
I am not my own
Immanuel
I am not alone
Immanuel!
3. Sons of Thunder
[Speaking:]
You've heard it been said "Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth."
But I tell you, do not resist an evil person.
If someone strikes you on the right cheek tell them to hit the other also.
And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let them have your cloak as well.
If someone forces you to go one mile, go with them too.
Give to the one who asks and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
You've heard that it was said "Love your neighbor and hate your enemy."
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in Heaven.
This conflict burns in my veins, I feel injustice surround, stopping my movement in Hope
The stinging words of the crowd, they speak of me like I've lost my mind, like I am some kind of joke
I see the enemies rage, I hear the sickening voice taunt, I feel his wicked eyes shine
Simply no longer afraid I throw my head back and laugh, and take a drink of new wine
The fight is over your souls
Sons of Thunder
Calling the fire down
Burning with hope
Sons of Thunder
My only weapon is truth, hatred's more powerful or so it would seem, sapping my belief in all the things you have shown in the secret
My friends and family just scream, angry at you and they cry out to me
They speak sincere unbelief and inside them they mean it
Sons of Thunder
Calling the Fire Down
Bringing Me Home
Sons of Thunder Overcome this world with love
Is there no one who understands, has everyone turned aside, is anyone listening , someone hear me
Does anyone understand, has everyone turned their own way Father help me, return!
In that moment I have felt my life slip from my hands
Becoming heaven's weapon In that instant felt your spirit enter mortal man
See you at Armageddon
Bringing me home
4. Descending Into Hell
I'm rigged to Fire, and I'm set to blow
I cannot live in this state, break down the doors smash every window, to help the orphans escape
What would Jesus do?
I think illuminate
You know what's "unbiblical?"
That's Jesus sitting sitting in some blackened room
These people live so violated and we're concerned with church agendas Oh My God
Pure religion says I fight this war
The hidden millions in our own back yard, exploited masses These kids are all alone, waiting for someone
I tell you what's "biblical" the master came to set the captive free, and we should be like him, we will worship and pray, then instigate their release!
I can't see Jesus in this Pollutes my trust, it fills my heart with hate
I hear their muffled screams, these children terrified
God what is right, I cant stand by and...
I refuse to stand by in this house of fear, its innocent kids who pay the real price, in the House of Fear
Take back every throw away life from the House of Fear
Cant live for myself as innocence dies, in the House of Fear!
Holy God Where are you in the dark and hidden place?
How can I sleep when children live as slaves, these are your people Oh God
Ill pray and Ill move, Father say the Word!
Cause this is unspeakable, slithering darkness but Ill bring the light
And by the morning they'll all be gone, given the chance to lead a different life
Descending into Hell
Cause these Kids are for sale, we walk into Hell
For those locked in a cell, we walk into Hell
Some can't speak for themselves, we walk into Hell
Even Jesus himself walked into Hell
5. The Streets Don't Lie
Taking me to the streets
I'm losing everything, society deemed important to me
Where do I turn?
Kicking me in the teeth
Why's my wife and daughter sleeping in some strange building their whole life taped in boxes
How can my marriage survive?
How will my wife respect me at night if she don't think ill provide
What goes through my child's mind, her fragile heart, this tears me apart
Oh Jesus am I alone in this fight?
Only vagabonds can know
Only the homeless ones can comprehend what it means to lose everything you know, just to come home again
Only the pilgrims go from strength to strength, and the son of man has nowhere to lay his head
So now he helps me find my way in this world, I'm home again
And he sings over me
His voice washes my wounds clean
He says my sons and daughters, exempt from fear this is Jubilee
You are one, you are my child
Child of mine who is unseen, Oh nation, listen to Me
Don't you worry about a thing
Night will fall, though the darkness is real, sun will rise, though the enemy lies
The awakening, your home is nearer than it seems, Come waste away with me
How many sunny days have I passed men and women taken to poverty within this nation
In passing I mumble a prayer,
Oh God just get them out of this jungle, let me show them salvation
My Christian vanity, all my possessions links and chains to this all powerful nothing
We're choking on American Dreams, and this whole nation falling down at the feet of the meek
Maybe the homeless ones are free
Maybe those vagabonds can comprehend, what it means to have absolutely nothing, while coming home again
And as those pilgrims go from strength to strength
Like the son of man, nowhere to lay his head
And I've experienced losing everything I thought was home, on my way home again
And he sings over me
His voice washes my wounds clean
He says my sons and daughters, exempt from fear this is Jubilee
You are one, you are my children, child of mine, you can see me, who is unseen, I know you all, I know and I see
Night will fall, though the darkness is real, but the sun will rise, I'll lift your head up, the true awakening,
I'll never leave, come waste away with me Give up everything
I hold truth and resurrection life
Kid stay vigilant
You watch and wait for my imminent return
And every generation sings
Every generation that lifts up its head, it lifts up its hands
As the people sing... We are those
And we declare to every broken heart
Children of One
Let every wounded soul
Who is unseen
All who've been cast away
Worlds will Fall
Every last one that's been turned away
We may die, in the awakening
We declare over your heart this is your destiny
Come Waste Away!
Maranatha!
Jesus Come! Kingdom Come!
Your Will!
6. The Army Of The Chosen One
An army composed, of walking dead, of willing hearts, in this our day of struggle
We speak with fire, we break all chains, the foolish bonds of carnal minds far beneath us
We see the leader transfigured light, he calls us forward in that moment receive
Gives us a new name, on stones of white, and then we stand commissioned searching for the valiant more to come
Chosen Ones!
Oh were rising, calling out your name
And you will hear our anthem raise
So answer us in truth
Answer me!
I know their faces
I hear their names, reveal their future, warriors of regeneration
I've seen their journey
I've felt their pain
I've reached into each shame filled, dark and failed existence
I see them rising my crest in heart, sealed to my vision anchored deep within each man
The day approaches, each life will close
The awesome day we see the Lion and the Lamb
Father where is the army I've seen in my visions
It's the generation the dragon has feared in his dreams
Father where is the army I've seen in my visions
We are the generation the dragon has feared in his dreams, His Nightmares!
GLORIA!
Soon we will find out who are the real revolutionaries
Someday we will see who's in this thing for real!
7. I've Seen
I've Seen
I AM
The king is dead, long live the King
I see the throne, the pure throne, real before me And the door stands open, and the train of his robe
I've never seen one like it, fills my view, filling my view of you
Oh My God
Above me seraphs wait present, six wings and eyes, covered in praise, they gaze upon you, they scream Holy Holy!
At the sound of their voice, the earth will shake, the foundations tremble, and I fall prostrate before true majesty
Majesty
Woe is Me
Woe is Me I am ruined, I am ruined Oh my God you've ruined everything for me
Cause I've seen
My eyes have gazed upon the king, I've seen the almighty one
And I'm ruined again, and I cry out Woe is Me
Then one flew to me with a live coal in his hand, and it scorched to the touch, it burns and purifies
I cry out!
I'm just a man of unclean lips, if you heard my speech you'd be ashamed of me
I am a man who is unclean, and my people are not clean
Then he cried out to me saying this has touched you now, your guilt your shame atoned for, don't be ashamed of me
So I wait on you now, I hear a voice too holy to recognize, and to holy to disregard
I hear him cry out, who shall I send?
Whom shall I send? Who will go for me in this generation, whom shall I send out?
And there's a pain in my heart cause there's no one, its like there's no one who's seen
But I am ready because I've seen, I'm ready, I've seen
Here Am I Lord, Please Send Me.
8. Confession
Bind my hands, I stand at the gates of hell
Though you defy me flames, I deny you death itself
You and I make confession
I feel that rain fall down
Let the rain fall
Oh my God let the chains fall, as it falls I'm covered
Let it all, let it all fall down
Scene two
The accuser is furious
In his fake tattered gown
He's pointing his finger, holding me down, then the light breaks
A voice speaks, "my child, this won't last for long"
Oh demon I've something to show you
"My son rise up now sing him your song!"
So I sing out
"Look how you've fallen, Morningstar!"
You once covered the throne in praise, You fake now look where you are
I will never bow my knee again, in sin and shame
Serpent
I have witnessed your defeat, I know your schemes your games,
I have been covered in the blood of the faithful one
Jesus Cover Me in Your Blood
9. He Will Reign
In my mind I know how to sing this
But I need your light, God there's no other way
He says I try, the words all come jumbling out
As I rest in your light, I hear your spirit say, you say
"Come"
I don't know why it was that I hated you so
It was before I really knew you
Before I touched your heart and it became unto me, the very substance of my life
I've stayed at your side, I've seen the things that you do
I'm blessed, I'm broken, I'm honored inside to be called your wife
"Come"
Then my heart cries out
You Will Reign Forevermore... I love You Lord
You are worthy Lord, so worthy Lord You're so deserving Lord, take my life Oh God
We Will Reign Forevermore!
Then You sing out over us Oh Lord You respond and I thank You Lord
You sing
You lift up my head and sing
You call me beloved Lord, so we sing
You are worthy, You alone, we sing out
We exalt You Lord
We Will Reign Forevermore!
