Turn 02:43
lyrics

Pastors of muppets who kill their own kind. Creed of deception, man's death warrant signed. "Do what thou wilt", and the blind lead the blind. Rotten in heart and darkened in mind. Turn, turn, turn to the Saviour. Turn, turn, turn to the Life. Masters of puppets take over the whole. Battle for power and human control. Demonic strategies aimed at one goal. Total dictation and bondage of souls. Turn, turn, turn to the Saviour. Turn, turn, turn to the Life. Genesis seven, eleven, nineteen. Flood, tongue-confusion, burnt cities: we've seen. They tell us one day He'll judge all who've been. When Christ's your salvation then He'll intervene. Turn, turn, turn to the Saviour. Turn, turn, turn to the Life. Turn, turn, turn to the Saviour. Turn, turn, turn to the Life. Turn, turn, turn!

Examine Yourselves 02:17
lyrics

Dancing on the graves of prophets. Dead men's bones in whitewashed tombs. Bloody guilt that weighs the conscience. Clamors for an awful doom. One might say: "I am not like that." True, perhaps you're even worse. Feigning godly, saintly conduct. Phony fruit, a tree that's cursed. Yes, today! Yes, today, not few but many. Gild it with a gospel sound. But in fact they are what Christ called. Broad way breed - "Lord, Lord" - hell-bound. Yes in fact they are what Christ called. Broad way breed - "Lord, Lord" - hell-bound. Examine yourselves! Examine yourselves! Aaaaah! Dancing on the graves of prophets. Broad way breed - "Lord, Lord" - hell-bound. Examine yourselves! Examine yourselves! Aaaaah! Dancing on the graves of prophets. Broad way breed - "Lord, Lord" - hell-bound. Examine yourselves! Examine yourselves! Aaaaah! Dancing on the graves of prophets. Broad way breed - "Lord, Lord" - hell-bound.

Pretender 02:42

Doctrines, theology. Stay in my head. Empty doxology. Rigid and dead. Go through the motions. I'll do it because? Some songs and devotions. Like everyone does. Play Scriptural bingo. My drivel and jive. I've got the lingo. But ain't got the life. Life! I've got the lingo. But ain't got the life. I've got the lingo. But ain't got the life. Pretender! Play Scriptural bingo. I ain't got the life. Pretender! I ain't got the life. Play Scriptural bingo. I ain't got the life. Pretender! I ain't got the life. Pretender! I've got the lingo. But ain't got the life. Life!

I ain't got the life. Pretender!

Playing Church 01:49
lyrics

Playing church, a pretty show. The sermons sound so kind. Caught in lies, but I don't know. I'm pious and I'm blind. The hollow words that You don't bless. My spam will only harm. But I'll continue nonetheless. I'm prideful and lukewarm. Playing church, a pretty show. Caught in lies, but I don't know. Playing church, a pretty show. Caught in lies, but I don't know. The hollow words that You don't bless. But I'll continue nonetheless. Playing church, a pretty show. Caught in lies, but I don't know. Playing church, a pretty show. Caught in lies, but I don't know. Playing church.

Faith Unreal 02:18

I am in the church pew. Trusting in my goodness. Innate merit untruths. Fantasy belief. But my life is rotten. And my faith unreal. Going to the meetings. Sermon sandwich special. Breastplate of religion. Never to receive. Never to receive. But my life is rotten. And my faith unreal. Bible bingo babbling. Cants cannot conceal. That my life is rotten. And my faith unreal. Sermon sandwich special. Breastplate of religion. Never to receive. Never to receive. Never to receive. But my life is rotten. And my faith unreal. Sermon sandwich special. Breastplate of religion. Never to receive. Never to receive. Never to receive. But my life is rotten. And my faith unreal. And my faith unreal. Sermon sandwich special. Breastplate of religion. Never to receive. Never to receive. But my life is rotten. And my faith unreal.

Accursed 02:43

A different gospel taught. Neither hot nor cold. Apostates, shameless frauds. Tophet's breed twofold. Another Jesus. A different Spirit. Another Gospel. Accursed. Accursed. Half truths prevaricating. Remove the fear of God. Make us believe in what? A Christ they are creating. Another Jesus. A different Spirit. Another Gospel. Accursed. Accursed.

Downfall 03:10
lyrics
buy track
As we built our churches. We made the numbers grow. Enhanced faith into modern. New age of self renewal. Downfall, this our downfall. The blind guides that claim to see. Downfall, this our downfall. The branches cut off the tree. A feel good message moral. But hearts could not be reached. The creed was fake and oral. And Christ no longer preached. Downfall, this our downfall. The blind guides that claim to see. Downfall, this our downfall. The branches cut off the tree. The blind guides that claim to see. The branches cut off the tree. Downfall, this our downfall. The blind guides that claim to see. Downfall, this our downfall. The branches cut off the tree.

Exchange 02:37

Find a teacher. Make a preacher. With the features. We define. Ears are itching. Doctrines switching. New age myths in. Out...the Vine. Exchange the truth for sweet lies. Exchange the truth for sweet lies. Selective faith. "My preference." And I change. Customize God. Directive need. "Self-reverence." I arrange. Custom size God. Exchange the truth for sweet lies. Exchange the truth for sweet lies. Find a teacher. Make a preacher. Ears are itching. Doctrines switching. Customize God. Exchange the truth for sweet lies. Customize God. Exchange the truth for sweet lies. Customize God. Exchange the truth for sweet lies. Customize God.

From Reformation To Deformation 02:07
lyrics
buy track
Freed from the papal system. God gave the reformation days. Back to the basics of the Scriptures. By grace through faith in Christ alone. Some ages passed but past has wages. Yes, one extreme creates the next. An anti-Christ arose quite sneakily. And soon he had the people vexed. From reformation to deformation. From reformation to deformation. Preaching a faith without repentance. The promises but not the woes. "Narrow the way", was long forgotten. "Deny yourself", not done, disposed. From reformation to deformation. From reformation. So now we drown in shallow mercies. The Savior Christ but not the Lord? Let not your lips just pay Him service. "Narrow the way, haste the day." From reformation to deformation. From reformation to deformation. Let not your lips just pay Him service. "Narrow the way, haste the day." From reformation to deformation. Let not your lips just pay Him service. So now we drown in shallow mercies.

Faith Killer: Pentagrammar 02:53
lyrics

There is a man who knows a lot. At least, that's what he claims. With letter-strictness wounds and maims. As heavy weight for God. Faith killer! Faith killer! Your knowledge puffs you up. Faith killer! Faith killer! I think you'd better stop. This doctrine-man always correct. In words he does not fail? Too bad his life does not reflect. Compliance to God's will. Faith killer! Faith killer! Your knowledge puffs you up. Faith killer! Faith killer! I think you'd better stop. "Five points, solas", he's void of true repentance. His pentagrammar writes and gives this man the well-formed sentence. Faith killer! Faith killer! "Five points, solas", he's void of true repentance. His pentagrammar writes and gives this man the well-formed sentence. Faith killer! Faith killer! Your knowledge puffs you up. Faith killer! Faith killer! I think you'd better stop. You claim to know a lot. Faith killer! Killer! You're not a heavy weight for God. Faith killer! Faith killer! Your knowledge puffs you up. Faith killer! Faith killer! "Five points, solas", he's void of true repentance. Faith killer! Faith killer! Faith killer! I think you'd better stop. Faith killer! Faith killer! I think you'd better stop.

Blind Sheep 02:37
lyrics

Make us a golden calf. Let us leech. Preach preacher preach. Only on our behalf. Blind sheep and goats in the crowd. Following who bleats the loudest. Give us our own palace. Doctrines improved. God's truth removed. Let us continue this malice. Blind sheep and goats in the crowd. Following who bleats the loudest. Point the finger to others. Just like Pharisees. Never on our knees. Drink from bitter waters. Blind sheep and goats in the crowd. Following who bleats the loudest. Not wanting to reap. Let the iniquities heap. Descent into the deep. Fast asleep. Blind sheep. Blind sheep! Blind sheep!

In a den of thieves. "Sell me a blessing..." Love for money deceives. True faith regressing. Merchandising, merchandising, merchandising. Sowing seeds of lies and merchandising. Prophecies for a buck. "Thus says the Lord..." Wishing for luck. The Bible overboard. Merchandising, merchandising. Sowing seeds of lies and merchandising. Healing for a dime. "Not freely received..." Greedy crime. Really deceived. Merchandising, merchandising, merchandising. "Because money means a lot..." Merchandising, merchandising, merchandising.

Tomorrow I Will Follow 02:36
lyrics
buy track
I fill my head with many sermons. But I omit to heed, obey. "Tomorrow I will follow." Is my story day by day. Repentance is deferred, from one day to another. Until the day of death is one, and judgment is the other. Alas, there is no godly sorrow. So countless are the times I'll pray. "Tomorrow I will follow." Until my dying day. Repentance is deferred, from one day to another. Until the day of death is one, and judgment is the other. Repentance is deferred, from one day to another. Until the day of death is one, and judgment is the other.

Ulterior Motives 02:52

Hollow prayers, they're just in vain. All I want from God is gain. And my conscience is too seared. Numbs His voice I cannot hear. For the reasons I believe. Are the goals I must achieve. Some of You and some of me. Self made saint talk that I use. One for You and one for me. Religious paint on my abuse. For the reasons I believe. Are the goals I must achieve. Though I know it is a lie. My deeds surely testify. That I only want to see. None of You all done by me. For the reasons I believe. Are the goals I must achieve. Some of You and some of me. Self made saint talk that I use. One for You and one for me. Religious paint on my abuse. For the reasons I believe. Are the goals I must achieve. Hollow prayers, they're just in vain. All I want from God is gain. And my conscience is too seared. Though I know it is a lie. My deeds surely testify. That I only want to see. None of You all done by me. For the reasons I believe.

Stacking Guilt 02:19

My eyes see the injustice. I stand opposed to those. Transgressors of the law. Stacking guilt, stacking guilt. Living in self-righteous filth. As they are put on trial. The charge I hold against them. Directs me to the stand. This mouth accusing others. While vile and unrestrained. All words condemn myself. This mouth accusing others. While vile and unrestrained. All words condemn myself. Stacking guilt, stacking guilt. Living in self-righteous filth. This finger keeps on pointing. Self righteous my anointing. My guilt I understate. Stacking guilt, stacking guilt. Living in self-righteous filth. Stacking guilt, stacking guilt. Living in self-righteous filth.

I am too busy for You, Jesus. For I need to build my future. I am too busy for You, Jesus. While my time is spent on worries. I am too busy for You, Jesus. Let others do what I should do. I am too busy for You, Jesus. I need some more to please myself. I am too busy for You, Jesus. A little prayer to silence You. I am too busy for You, Jesus. Come back a time I can be Yours. I am too busy for You, Jesus. With sins I hate yet seem to love. I am too busy for You, Jesus. Changing myself's of no avail. I am too busy for You, Jesus. My righteous self that dominates. I am too busy for You, Jesus. For holiness I can't obtain. I am too busy for You, Jesus. I am too busy for You, Jesus. I am too busy for You, Jesus. My righteous self that dominates. I am too busy for You, Jesus. My righteous self that dominates. I am too busy for You, Jesus. For holiness I can't obtain. I am too busy for You, Jesus. I am too busy for You, Jesus.

Work, eat, sleep, repeat. Run the mill of busyness. Ain't got time to change. Try again tomorrow. Work, eat, sleep, repeat. Work, eat, sleep, repeat. Work, eat, sleep, repeat. Killing time, no reason or rhyme, what's left of my priorities? Work, eat, sleep, repeat. Work, eat, sleep, repeat. Work, eat, sleep, repeat. Sevenfold increase of sorrow, dreading yet another week, try again tomorrow, buried in futility. Buried in futility. Work, eat, sleep, repeat. Buried in futility. Work, eat, sleep, repeat. Work, eat, sleep, repeat. Work, eat, sleep, repeat.

My days are filled with endless toiling. I grasp for rightness, work for it. But innate selfishness and blindness, imprison me and seal my fate. I am a victim of my system. A helpless slave of do's and don'ts. There must be more that I could live for. A higher purpose by design. The surrogate I choose to fill me. A self-made set of rules and laws. Observance of my own restrictions. To compensate for flaws. I am a victim of my system. A helpless slave of do's and don'ts. There must be more that I could live for. A higher purpose by design.

I think today I'm double-minded, with one foot in and one foot out. I'll take some time to weigh the options, though half my thoughts tell me I'm wrong. Up and down, up and down. I tumble through dubiety. I think today I'm triple-minded, with room for more ambivalence. I'll take some time to sense my feelings, a third of me rings red alert. Up and down, up and down. My prayer is just false piety. On then off, on then off. Gets no better when retrying. I think today You saw my struggle, I cannot trust my best intent. And even while I've come to tell You, my mind divides itself by N. Struggle town. Blundering. Faithfulness. Up and down. I think today You saw my struggle, I cannot trust my best intent. And even while I've come to tell You, my mind. On then off, on then off, on then off. I do not trust my loyalty. On then off, I do not trust my best intent. And even while I've come to tell You, my mind divides itself by N. Struggle town. Blundering. Faithfulness. Up and down. Struggle town. Blundering. Faithfulness. Up and down.

While the furnace keeps on burning, and the heat is overwhelming, I am ready to be bent. Between the hammer and the anvil. Between the hammer and the anvil. Between the hammer and the anvil. After quenching in the water, then His chisel chips away, into His form not void. With His hammer He keeps forging, with His fire He refines, in His image I am shaped. For He is the Workman, and I am His workmanship, between the hammer and the anvil. Between the hammer and the anvil. Between the hammer and the anvil. Between the hammer and the anvil. For He is the Workman, and I am His workmanship, between the hammer and the anvil. Between the hammer and the anvil. Between the hammer and the anvil. Between the hammer and the anvil. Between the hammer and the anvil. Between the hammer and the anvil. Between the hammer and the anvil.
