THE CRUCIFIED LYRICS

1. Silent Scream

From mother's womb
To garbage can
The little children die
Although they never
Took a breath
Those babies were alive
The infants are sucked
Through a tube
The murder goes unseen
Does only God
And my heart
Hear the babies silent scream?

Capitol punishment
For the innocent
It's not justified
Should we kill
A two year old
If he keeps us up at night?
The saline salts injected
And the baby melts away
Can you hear the silent scream
The baby wants to stay

Is all human life worthless now
Or is that just how it seems?
Does only God and my heart
Hear the baby's silent scream?

2. You Don't Understand

(to christians who are judgemental)
Don't want us in your pulpit seats
You don't like the way we look or sing
But we'll just love you more and more
Because that is what we're fighting for

[Chorus]
You don't understand where we're coming from
We're just following God's only Son

(to non-christians)
Laugh at us for our beliefs
Open your eyes so you can see
Without the spirit you can't understand
We're not a part of fleshly man

[Chorus]

(to luke-warm people)
If you're halfway
Get out of the way
We don't need you here or in our way
You know what's wrong
Then fight for good
You know the truth
You know what's true

3. G-O-D

Carnal Christians
Carnal minds
If you don't want to be
The carnal kind
Keep our eyes on Jesus
And soon you'll find
You'll be leaving those
Carnal ways behind

[Chorus]
G-O-D
Keep your eyes on God
G-O-D
And he won't steer you wrong
G-O-D
He'll show you the way
G-O-D
And you won't go astray

Garbage in
Garbage out
Listen to those doubters
Soon you'll be in doubt
Keep your eyes on Jesus*
And take a stand*
Don't treat your brain*
Like a garbage can*

[Chorus]

Bible says you shouldn't
Satan says you can
He'll do anything
Just to ruin God's plan
[Repeat*]

[Chorus x2]

G
O
G-O-D

4. Seal Number Four

Here comes the ashen horse
Death is on its back
The creature utters - "come"
The creature's voice - a thunder crack

[Chorus]
Seal number four is broken
Now the time has come [x2]

Once in times of peace
There was a chance before
But now it's much too late
He's broken seal number four

[Chorus]

Revelation 6:7,8

[Repeat first and second words]

5. Conviction

You're walking down the street just yesterday
A kid tells you about God you say, "no way"
He tells you hell, you kick him in the gut
Well are you pretty tough since you
Beat him up?

[Chorus]
Conviction is there something wrong?
Conviction don't hold it in too long
Pretty soon it'll come right out
Don't we know what that's all about

Don't you want to get rid of that nagging void
It's a force that only God can destroy
Everyone has it until they let him in
Receive Christ now - let your new life begin

[Chorus]

6. No Decay

The fool has said in his heart
"There is no God"
He loves evil more than good
Deceit from his tongue
No one who understands
No one who could
Fire will come upon those who refuse
Refuse [x4]

[Chorus]
Jesus has made the way
Hearts no longer decay
Jesus has made the way
Hearts no longer decay

God has looked down to earth
Says, "no one does good, the need my loving grace"
Except it you should
But you look to yourself
Think you will find, an answer
In unity of spirit, soul, and mind
Vanity [x4]

[Chorus]

Listen to what I say, I'm speaking to you
Religion is not the way of finding the truth
Relation is what God wants
Tradition is through
If you want unity what else can you do?
What-else-can-you-do?

[Chorus]

Now you can put behind
Thoughts of the past
Jesus has set you free
Your now free at last
Are-you-tired-of-this world?

7. This Howl

I've been here for a million years
It's only been the twinkling of an eye
This dark, this pain it's so unbearable
Fire consumes the tears I cry
I never thought of pain so drawn out
Screams and gnashing all surround me
Over and over I keep remembering
I must bear this through eternity

[Chorus]
This howl
I can't turn away
This howl
Keeps droning through my mind
This howl
Consumes my every thought and emotion
This howl
Keeps droning on through time

I cannot bear this isolation
Where have all of my friends gone?
This supposed to be the best time of my life
My fate has shown me I was wrong...

I hear his voice every second in time,
"depart from me you accursed one
I never knew you"

Jesus, please forgive me
I'm ready to accept you now
But how I know
You will not hear me
I had my chance
I turned it down

[Chorus]

[Repeat words after first chorus]

8. Be Warned

The wicked shall return to Sheol
Even those who forgot of God
The needy not always forgotten
Perish not the hope of the afflicted
Arise oh God do not let man prevail
Judge the wicked before your throne

[Chorus]
Arise oh God do not let man prevail
The nations shall be judged before thee
Put them in fear oh Lord
Let the nations know, they are but men

Relief to you the afflicted
To us as well as Jesus' return in flaming fire
Dealing out - retribution
To those who do not know God
To those who do not obey
The gospel of our Lord Jesus

[Chorus]

Salvation is in your reach
Christ is king and he is God
You would be wise to heed his word
Your fate is laid before you
The choice is in your hands
From now until your death
Be warned

9. Rebellion

"I hate you, it's your fault
My life's messed up
I don't care what you say,
My way's right.
Where's your proof that
Anarchy just won't work?"
But Jesus Christ has the plan for you
Go your way
What's the cost

[Chorus]
Rebellion [x4]

"my heart's black - apathy I'm so cold"
Change the world - let's unite humanity
Narrow minded - you call us
We're just fools
God will use the foolish things
To confound the wise
To show you that he's right

[Chorus]

There is a choice - you must choose - now's the time
Heaven or hell - God is knocking at your door
Don't reject his only Son
He died for you [x2]
Salvation [x4]

10. All You Need

You, you don't know
What it's like to be free
You, a slave to sin
Just let him in
And then you'll see
You can be brand new
You know it's true
His love will reign
He, he shed his blood
For you and me
We caused his pain

[Chorus]
Jesus’ blood is all you need

You, you silly fool
What will it take
To prove his love
They, they spit on him
They peirced his hands
He gave his life
You, you find your life
You gain the world
You lose your soul
Lose your life to him
Deny yourself
And then you'll win

[Chorus]
Jesus’ blood is all you need

11. Problem / Solution

Who wants to grow up in a world that's so unfair?
And who wants to live in a world where nobody cares?
Bombs in your backyard
All your doors are locked
Your neighbor is a killer
Your brothers hooked on drugs
All because we're living
In a world that we messed up - not God
Say your life is going nowhere
Friends and family just ignore you
Put a gun against your head - figure you're better off - dead?

There is one chance to make things right
He's Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
He hung on your cross
Took your sins
He suffered the loss
So you might live
Receive him now, freedom gained
Better do it soon
Because he is coming - again

12. Directed Youth

[Chorus]
We are directed youth -- we know where we're going

When we were growing up - we saw the world
So screwed up - we refused to be a part,
We rebelled and hardened our hearts.
When we were growing up - we knew what was wrong
But had no right - so we lived for ourselves
Until we found Jesus Christ

[Chorus]

Now that we have Christ - we're up here to tell you
You need what's right - what's good, what's peace
The only way is on your knees
If you do not accept - you will find how hell will be
I'm telling you now - it's the worst
It's the worst you'll ever see

[Chorus x2]

13. Washed Out / Apathy Medley

[Washed Out]

Washed out
The things of earth will fall to decay
Washed out
There's nothing standing on the final day
Washed out [6x]
I'm found
I live my life serving Christ
I'm found
I've something after the pass of life
I'm found [x6]

[Apathy]

Sit at school - waste your time
You think that it's ok,
Hit by a car - suicide
It happens every day,
Fellowhsip sweet fellowship
You keep it to yourself,
Slashing wrists - crying out,
People go to hell

[Chorus]
You don't care, you
Say the blind can see,
You don't care, I call that christian apathy
They need the life that
Only you can give,
Through the blood of Jesus Christ
Eternal life in him (his gift)

Jesus Christ is telling you
To reach out to all men,
The end is near, he's coming back so harvest
While you can,
Scared to start a brand
New life, you don't think
It's cool,
The world's your friend
God is not, man don't be a fool!

[Chorus]

14. Freedom

I have freedom
I have Jesus
You want freedom?
You need Jesus
America - land of free
America - show your freedom to me
Look at us - I hate our little circles
Look at us - we steer away from the troubled world
Jesus - gave us the chance to be free
Jesus - we killed him and nailed him to a tree
Satisfied - with these tissue paper living lives
Satisfied - your fine while everything goes right

But I don't want to be a part of that
I'm not into it, I see the waiting trap
I have Jesus I'm truly satisfied
Because I know, for he died
Who has the real freedom now? You?

15. Bug
