Masquerade

Why do you hide? Why do you lie? Can’t you see that He knows all and all? All that we do, all that we say all shall kneel down on our judgment day Lost or found today, hear what I say seek and you will find, truth is here to stay Stay on the road, straight’n narrow path most will take their own, wide broad way with wrath Wrath binds the heart, takes and rips apart observation met, more to this than said Said is all the truth, so let it rain on you drench your inner soul, left behind not you Lost or Found it’s your call Seek to find, or just fall Lost or found, truth or lies Bring it on, eternal life Lost or found, it’s our call Take me back, here I crawl Lost or found, found or lost At Golgotha’s cross I am He who searches mind and heart The faithful and truth the morning star I am Son of man King of Kings The First and Last to Him I sing Find me....Hear Me...Love Me Find me....Hear Me...Love Me…Love Me Come take my hand, here we shall stand I feel your pain, every scar engrained Engrained is senseless fear, forcing every tear but a ray of light, sparks and then ignites Ignite the flame inside, darkness can not hide change from within, now the journey’s end… End of the pain and the suffering, cast it on the Throne, Father it is done

I was lost, I was broken I was chosen Are we lost? Are we broken? Are we chosen? Frozen lifeless dead to the world you scream that silent scream Searching in your misery to find some wasted common theme Torn and battered, laid to rest no one there, just pain Can’t ya see my withered face? The lines they seem so plain Choose your way, Quench your thirst Black or white The chosen ones will fight the fight! Looking back through the haze I see a lonely boy A rage inflamed by a foolish fear of becoming what he hates Empty, drained, abandoned days will never be repaid They frame a mind to do the same or maybe break the chain He is lost, He is broken he is cracked and crushed He is chosen Are we lost? Are we broken? Are we cracked and crushed? Are we chosen? I was lost, I was broken I was cracked and crushed I was chosen Are you lost? Are you broken? Are you cracked and crushed? Are you chosen? Can he change? Has he changed? Or just out of his mind They say that destiny moves on if you give it time Good or evil, Life or death, Heaven or hell, refined Gaze upon the world anew, Bring forth ‘One King’ defined

A child, a boy, a girl A legacy bestowed How do you view the world? And how do you fill that hole? Is there a consciousness? To seek our righteousness The mirror can’t reflect What’s absent from your soul History will tell, if firm foundations last Where will we end up? Living in the past History will tell, if we rose or fell Where we have landed, History will tell Nations will come and go Just look around the world But, I’ll keep my family whole With love, and faith, and hope I’ll take Him above it all The Word my All and All The Son, my Cornerstone His blood it does atone History will tell, if firm foundations last Where will we end up? Living in the past History will tell, if we rose or fell Where we have landed, History will tell

Dreamer, dreamer tell me my dreams Dreamer, dreamer bring it unto me Maybe, maybe riches bestowed Maybe, maybe eternity I'll know Stars cry they dim before him True lies you never can disguise Bow down fall to your knees Nightmares are all that you can see Tell me of your sleepless nights And bring them into light A dreamer with the gift The vivid robe, destiny told Envious kin, deceitful men, you're sold Visions, visions, I'm close to the edge Visions, visions, fill my crowded head Tell men, tell them, I serve You alone Tell them, tell men, my faith is strong as stone Servant Potiphar's to be Entrusted everything to Him Betrayed accused and locked away Hopeless with faith He claims the day Tell me of your sleepless nights And bring them into light A dreamer with the gift The vivid robe, destiny told Envious kin, deceitful men, you're sold Dreamer, dreamer, Pharaoh's number two Dreamer, dreamer, Egypt bows to you Brother, brother, kneel before my throne Brothers, brothers, my brothers I'm your own Righteous power not his own Sufficient grace redeems alone Restored a father's son again Forgiveness now is cast today Tell me of your sleepless nights And bring them into light A dreamer with the gift The vivid robe, destiny told Envious kin, deceitful men, you're sold

Hold me... by the hand Take me... all that I am What's between Heaven and Hell? Why do we torture ourselves? Make the choice right or wrong That eternal battle goes on and on Help me... if you can Tell me... of this Man I am blind, I wish to see Filled with wrath damned to be Can you help me? Show some mercy From this pit I'm on my knees Tempted, taunted, bound by rage I've felt the struggle within Rippin' and hackin' at my soul I lift up my hands to Him Seeking Worth, Seeking Redemption Seeking Worth, Seeking Redemption Tempted, taunted, bound by rage I've felt the struggle within Rippin' and hackin' at my soul I lift up my hands to Him Those chanis that bind will fall away A line in the sand is drawn One step across that prison lost Eternal Blessings are brought Help me... if you can Tell me... of this Man

Is it too late? Is the sand gone? Hour Glass Sands of the hour glass flow Descending down running low Looking back regrets are few Legacy left? Or is it one to lose? Just choose Chorus Drowning in the valley Rising with the Son Wither to opposition Or reflect what you've become Sands of the hour glass fall Draining life one and all Every woman, child, and man Will meet their fate Or choose to understand, By His hand Chorus Drowning in the valley Rising with the Son Wither to opposition Or reflect what you've become On and on and on ya go Storing up the riches and gold Ya take this, take than, you confiscate A veil of lust, greed, pride, and hate Sands of the Hour Glass gome The strife of life has cut you down Looking up your screams now fade You realize the eternal mistake made Your soul the cost and lost Chorus Drowning in the valley Rising with the Son Wither to opposition Or reflect what you've become On and on and on ya go Storing up the riches and gold Ya take this, take than, you confiscate A veil of lust, greed, pride, and hate

This Masquerade…doesn’t tell you My inside, frame of mind, or my truth My Veil…it won’t let you see My failures, my iniquities, or my hurt Do I need a Savior? Do I need this Son? Fires in the Heavens They say are soon to come Deliverance from The Mighty One Can I find a home? Many rooms have been prepared Never thought, of one my own Darkness…all surrounding It smothers my very breath, I feel it’s sting Am I…just some puppet? Among this crowd, I’m just a clown Who is it that pulls my strings? I need a Savior, I need the Son Fires in the heavens, Rolling on and on Deliverance from The Mighty Bring me to your home Many rooms have been prepared Please Father may I have one? Deliver Me, Deliver Me From this masquerade, Oh God Deliver me Deliver Me, Deliver Me You told me who I am, and delivered me

Familiar territory, surrender imminent, Destroy the enemy, and leave no evidence Why can't we stop the madness, why can't we feel the flames That seem to fuel our anger, that seem to feed the pain Last rites The priests have spoken the world's last rites Black rain is falling with no end in sight The world's been given the last rites We're craving domination, we crave what isn't ours We try and justify our final hour We hide behind the mask, the mask of our disease The truth you'll never find here, the truth is make believe The priests have spoken the world's last rites Black rain is falling with no end in sight The priests have spoken, the day turns to night The world's been given the last rites The priests have spoken - Yeah Black rain is falling - Oh Yeah The priests have spoken - Yeah The world's been given the last rites Last rites The priests have spoken the world's last rites Black rain is falling with no end in sight The priests have spoken, the day turns to night The world's been given the last rites The priests have spoken - Yeah Black rain is falling - Oh Yeah The priests have spoken - Yeah The world's been given the last rites Last rites

One man’s struggle Is another man’s ease Consumed by the moment The high just a tease You gave everything to achieve that fix You stole, you lied, deceived But threads of love persist Can you feel something out of place? Search amidst, search amidst a maze Reaching up, bend but never break You’ll get through, do whatever it takes Submerged in the arts A boy’s torment Lost in his world Mind’s eye discontent The search for something real Will crack his stone cold heart Eyes open wide to the truth Begin a fresh new start Can you feel something out of place? Search amidst, search amidst a maze Reaching up, bend but never break You’ll get through, do whatever it takes You can’t contain me You can’t suppress me Even when I’m close to that edge Our hope, our will, our strength Whatever it takes Rage filled my veins Furious at what was dealt Never backing down But craved the love withheld The strength not of myself But in the Son alone Through trials I see His hand My rock, my Cornerstone Can you feel something out of place? Search amidst, search amidst a maze Reaching up, bend but never break You’ll get through, do whatever it takes
