Man - born with the nature of evil All inherited the sin from Adam No man escaped The commandments - the law No one were able to fulfil No man was pure Everyone's share was death All was dark - hopelessness ruled Light intervened Annihilating darkness The path of salvation made clear For the prodigal human race Given to mankind For all to receive The sacrifice of life For all to believe This unnatural act of love A model for succession The act of forgiveness A supernatural force

The worship of creation Seeming endless But it will end And every knee shall bow Thoughts of a coincidental existence And a futureless world corrodes into the Spinal chord of the narcissistic man A paradigm shift for worse My ego is my god Given authority by the enlightenment Of science, The enlightenment of the age of freedom Freedom - the name in which we legalize all The name in which we tolerate all Credibility for truth, image for substance Weakness and failure - unbearable elements in life Subtly opposed through an endless flow of Constantly replaced trends, neither allowed To mature nor to fade The surroundings, A mirror reflecting the signals Of admiration that makes my identity A constant egocentricity providing a Purging of anything threatening popularity The peak of this shallowness Displayed by the so-called stars In their quest for self-actualisation This beautiful people experiencing The illusion of narcissistic prosperity, Uncritically and boundlessly admired, Simply for their own sake

Opposer of the one you claim to serve Your self-righteousness Breeding arrogance and pride Justifying legalism with a distorted Perception of submission Salvation by grace, Christianity by performance Lust for power, desire to rule, The beauty of life The feeling of guilt, your weapon of choice To control the hearts and thoughts Of the ones you say you love They are but shadows In the periphery of your ego You are the super-Christian, Empowered and installed by God No sin. No mistakes Psychopath - blinded by hypocrisy Psychopath - actions of inadequacy Your moral rearmament of others Developing shallow minds With a total lack of identity Stealing their freedom, the one that was Bought at a high price No compassion - No love The intoxication of power feeding your ego While your 150 are going to hell Oblivious to the masquerade, The idyllic facade Pulled over their eyes To blind them from the truth

Life, an abandoned wreck In motion, driven into circles Never ending circles Nothing new has taken place Seems like this place will never change Just a mercy child In a blood red cover Just a mercy child Covered in truth A roller coaster of feelings Steering whatever thought and action Into a pattern A pattern repeated Remove the veils The glory seems weak The heart needs the light Of your glorious presence Regain control Of this powerless wreck Let it complete the course of life

And so it's the end The hollow end So speed the process Again and again Move as fast as you can Like the wind On no end Horizontal flickering Like flash before my eyes Recurring pictures The holocaust Over and over Burnt into my mind Like bright stars I will deliver Your work shall be forever I will endure Keep my strength in you Memories fade Cease to pause To measure time To treasure day But when I see it The way I see it I swear the scissors have moved At a distance - in space The constellations have changed

The incomprehensibility of A love so pure Too good to be true It seems This preposterous act of empathy Unveiling my insufficiency The will of God accomplished Redemption revealed Realize, repent, receive Confession of inadequacy Initiate, admit, believe I am not my own - I belong to he who sacrificed The glory of eternity and fullness of peace To fathom this mystery Is beyond what I can express That he'd endure this path of pain Realize, repent, receive Confession of inadequacy Initiate, admit, believe Freedom The incarnation of the one I am? Inverting the course of history Hiding the kingdom in the heart of man For him to share the grace of God

Where will I return my misgiven motions Quell and subside the quivering vigour The inevitable thrust That swells inside And drives me off the edge The bleeding ill that breeds me on mercy Ruthless and sinister Obsessive beyond my reach Metamorphosis Release me from fury Metamorphosis Transforming energy Will I tread on broken glass And undisguised Set atrocities aside Scrape the surface Clean from abominations With a single word Conquer wrath Disposed to the evils that haunt me in sleep They shake the break of dawn Careless and free And spear me down Relentlessly Smitten with burns They pierce my mind They all own their own place in darkness Light as they may seem as day Scrape the surface Clean from abominations Let go the calamities inside And respond to the streams of emotion

Strengthened individuals Encouraged for unity We've been pushed to the limit Through an established motivation Gathered in love to Christ our head Come on let's join in synergy Conspiracy constructed with hope in sight A rebellious enthusiasm - united by Christ To vulcanise the spirit filled thrash forever Revitalization is what we want to see Of the moving solidarity By given strength community will be found Let's exploit our nerve of optimism By flash we'll go separate ways By spirit we'll unite It's time to make a change of mind To conquer egocentricity Together we will conjure up A zealous wish to sacrifice the singularity For the growth of this body For the kingdom's progress

Will You be there when I call will You be there? Will You be there when I fall Will You be there? Will You be there? Will You be there? Will You be there when the darkness has no end? Will You be there when the light descends? Will You be there? Will You be there? Yes I'll be there when you call out my name Yes I'll be there I am you light take my hand Yes I'll be there I will be there
The Plague threatening the status quo Imposed afflictions between Leviathan and the divine Who's to blame And who's to say it isn't so? Emancipation Beyond the bare bone Liberation Of spirit and soul The unclear course of nature Violations, separations For every action and reaction A matter of consequence Ways of changing the score But the Lord comforts me more Than the riches of the earth The cares of the world For the purse is a dead cause Far worse than woe And carries the stamp of human vanity
Immediate gratification of desires, The meaning of life This propagator of a Consumeristic lifestyle, So seemingly benign This is your entitlement Living an affluent life A scrap conduction A shallow state of mind The delusion of their raison d'etre Being nothing more than the Accumulation of mere things, Driven into the consciousness Of precious young minds An instrument for turning of the brain, An instrument for death Compellingly perverted to create A reality for hiding truth, Creating a window for Spiritual blessings on sale No arduous sacrifice or demands No restraint of passion No spiritual disciplines, No God! This is your religion, Feeling without intellectual content This is your religion, Nihilism 2002!
