Ghost Town

Temptation, damnation, famine and war Sins of humanity opened the door Blaming the Father, blaming the Son Hiding in shadows, mocking the light If we seek His face, humbling ourselves If we pray, let His will be done Into the light, out of the night, we will go We have forsaken what He gave, but I know Turn around and He'll hear us from Heaven All of our wicked ways, all our misdeeds Out of repentance comes healing and peace Turn around and He'll hear us from Heaven Twisting and turning the truth, steer them all Away from the path, away from the call Embracing delusion, the blind lead the blind Reaping the harvest of pride If we seek His face, humbling ourselves If we pray, let His will be done Into the light, out of the night, we will go We have forsaken what He gave, but I know Turn around and He'll hear us from Heaven All of our wicked ways, all our misdeeds Out of repentance comes healing and peace Turn around and He'll hear us from Heaven Into the light, out of the night, we will go We have forsaken what He gave, but I know Turn around and He'll hear us from Heaven All of our wicked ways, all our misdeeds Out of repentance comes healing and peace Turn around and He'll hear us from Heaven

I am a thief, an outlaw, a liar Finally, I reap my past Just like the darkness surrounding us now Black is the sin of man I made promises and broke them all Justice has won at last On this hill, I surrender Next to the Son of Man Your life for my soul, an uneven trade Was it worth all the pain? You forgive us even though we don't deserve it Your death, not in vain I'm dying and I know it Merciless, the nails hold their prey I ask to be remembered by this man Crowned with thorns I surely get what I deserve But He was innocent and betrayed He said I'm now forgiven Red is His saving blood Your life for my soul, an uneven trade Was it worth all the pain? You forgive us even though we don't deserve it Your death, not in vain Your death, not in vain Your life for my soul, an uneven trade Was it worth all the pain? You forgive us even though we don't deserve it Your death, not in vain

We were right We went wrong We try to get back to Where we belong Since the beginning Dawn of time Man and Creator Live intertwined Heart to heart Soul to soul Living in Eden Was our role With hearts too hard We sold our souls The Son was bleeding To bring us home Hold on, be strong Hold on to the cross Hold on, carry on Hold on to the cross Timeless truth Versus fraud The world is turning Far from God Speak the truth Even when Your voice is shaking And trembling Heart to heart Soul to soul Living in Eden Was our role With hearts too hard We sold our souls The Son was bleeding To bring us home Hold on, be strong Hold on to the cross Hold on, carry on, Hold on to the cross Hold on, be strong Hold on to the cross (Hold on to the cross) Hold on, carry on Hold on to the cross (Hold on, hold on) Hold on, be strong (hold on brother, hold on sister) Hold on to the cross Hold on, carry on (hold on oh woah hold on) Hold on to the cross (Hold on to the cross) Oh woah oh woah To the cross!

They had come for the truth To the mountain, to their teacher What are the signs of the end Of the ages, of our time? Are we still wondering in our time? Are we sleeping, do we hear the call? Two thousand years to infinity Let the truth be told Can you hear them The rumors of war? I can hear them Deceiving Ashes to ashes, dust into dust Nations and generations, they rise As the lightning strikes from the East Coming of the Son, see the only One Twisting and turning the Word Hear the prophets of a new religion Speaking the tongue of our time The greatest seduction Since Garden of Eden Now that the signs are unveiled Leaves unfolding, times are changing Know that the Summer is near Let the truth be told Can you hear them The rumors of war? I can hear them Deceiving Ashes to ashes, dust into dust Nations and generations, they rise As the lightning strikes from the East Coming of the Son, see the only One Ashes to ashes, dust into dust Nations and generations, they rise Ashes to ashes, dust into dust Nations and generations, they rise

Interrupted stories all ended here In this place, in this heartland of nothing Lies and made-up stories built this empire Every tear, every scar tells a story We are his people and we lay down our crowns Time to go We're waving goodbye We are the people living in this ghost town Let us go From the ruins we cry Reconstructed stories all made-up here In this game of approval addiction Superficial knowledge is only fool's gold Every word, every pursuit of meaning We are his people and we lay down our crowns Time to go We're waving goodbye We are the people living in this ghost town Let us go From the ruins we cry We are his people and we lay down our crowns Time to go We're waving goodbye We are the people living in this ghost town Let us go From the ruins we cry Every scar tells a story Every scar tells a story

Now I understand it Still there is time The Spirit will reveal it Open your eyes And you will see it clearly Seek and you will find The answers in Him New dawn, a new tomorrow Waits for you This is the revelation I know is true There's only one salvation Jesus is the way to Heaven for us I, I am alive With peace of mind My mission to testify Makes me alive I can't deny my vision The pieces fall into place When lost is found The curtain falls and lights come on When you turn around And only one-way tickets From wrong to right Can change a life deep inside Keep looking for the way it wants to be found Keep knocking on the door And it will open wide It takes a lifetime learning what's right But a blink of an eye to enter the light I, I am alive With peace of mind My mission to testify Makes me alive I can't deny my vision I, I am alive With peace of mind My mission to testify Makes me alive I can't deny my vision

Blinded by pride and power they appear Determined to separate white from black Well-armed with stones and phrases Aiming for preys caught in the act Modern day Pharisees (Pharisees) Blinded by pride and power they fall Looking for motes, ignoring beams I learned my lesson, brother Hate sin but love the sinner I learned this lesson, sister To know the difference Driven by love and passion Determined to separate chaff from wheat He came with great compassion Never turned mercy versus truth I learned my lesson, brother Hate sin but love the sinner I learned this lesson, sister To know the difference I learned my lesson, brother Hate sin but love the sinner I learned this lesson, sister To know the difference

Out of the silence, your word gave us life From the beginning until the end of time Beyond the skies and oceans, the planets and the stars The greatest of powers, forever who you are Standing on the threshold to a holy place No one knows the hour, no one knows the day Of your second coming, the light across the sky Out of the silence Our Father, who art in Heaven Hallowed be thy name Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done On Earth as it is in Heaven Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our debts As we forgive our debtors And lead us not into temptation But deliver us from evil For thine is the Kingdom And the power and the glory forever

Woah! You wouldn't trade your fate for anything You had no higher pleasure You were on fire, you left everything For a greater treasure You went to the ends of the world Your mind was set on others You went to the ends of the world To bring the message out Can you hear the wake up call? hear the calling Lord, have mercy on us all When did you fall asleep and When did we come to an end? When did all we had fade to grey When did you fall? (when did you fall) Left it all (you had it all) When did you fall asleep? Please come home Home again Sleepwalking dreamer Lost in time and space You had a higher calling A bleeding man, arms open to embrace And tears are falling You went to the ends of the world Your mind was set on others You went to the ends of the world To bring the message out Can you hear the wake up call? hear the calling Lord, have mercy on us all When did you fall asleep and When did we come to an end? When did all we had fade to grey When did you fall? (when did you fall) Left it all (you had it all) When did you fall asleep? Please come home Home again When did you fall asleep and When did we come to an end? When did all we had fade to grey When did you fall?
