Mosaic

Sometimes I feel like I just don’t belong here Like a shadow cast from a time long past I’m swallowed up and dissipating I feel so out of phase and so invisible It’s disorienting, alienating Little stranger, welcome to the world Do you ever feel like you just don’t belong here? Me I’ve always known this isn’t home I’m starting to feel so disconnected A stranger in a strange and growing ever stranger land In a world that I don’t understand So misdirected Trapped inside a world that buried Mozart in a pauper’s grave And said, “Give us Barabbas,”crucified Christ and turned away Electing fools to lead us Rejecting truth, see us spiraling down Shall we enter the last days? Out of place and out of time Oh tell me what’s the value of a life In a modern day and age where monsters cling to evil ways I can’t shake the feeling I just don’t belong But we flicker for a moment Flicker for a moment, then we’re gone I don’t belong here I don’t belong here Pleasure slaves indulging every manner of perversion If technology’s the god we feed, our sacrifice is full submersion Lifelong friendships ended over stupid politicians All the rhetoric and superstitions Life on a screen, a simulated world that buried Mozart in a pauper’s grave And said, “Give us Barabbas,” crucified Christ and turned away This world feels so synthetic Lost apathetic While tragedy vampires drink blood of the fallen Out of place and out of time Oh tell me what’s the value of a life In a modern day and age where monsters cling to evil ways I can’t shake the feeling I just don’t belong But we flicker for a moment Flicker for a moment, then we’re gone Centuries of deep corruption led to compromise Practicing a counterfeit morality, the great disguise and I don’t belong here I’m just a weary traveler This world has lost sight of the value of a life Out of place and out of time Oh tell me what’s the value of a life In a modern day and age where monsters cling to evil ways I can’t shake the feeling I just don’t belong But we flicker for a moment Flicker for a moment, then we’re…

Life Process and identify Who are you and what am I Nothing to say in nameless decay A virus stain now Can't remember what it's for Couldn't feel it anymore After the day they took it away You gave me back my name Crawling through the darkness With a shroud over my eyes Like an orphan slowly reaching for the light Chosen ones Futures and names for all of us No longer anonymous (Anonymous) No matter what they say It shall be done Forging us into priests and kings Carry us unto greater things To chase shadows of doubt so far away Paint the skies with Your Name Death Consеquence, identity Somеthing's chasing after me Sins of the past Collecting at last Their debt of shame Lost Dying when you found me there Unattended, unaware "Silenced" they said And left me for dead You gave me back my name Though they offer vain deceit Hollow life philosophy All the rudiments of fallen hearts beware Chosen ones Futures and names for all of us No longer anonymous (Anonymous) No matter what they say It shall be done Forging us into priests and kings Carry us unto greater things To chase shadows of doubt so far away Paint the skies with Your Name Not assigned our worth by words Of men in changing flawed, morality A sacrifice painted in blood Recovered lost identity It's not the things that we have done Or other things that we have not You turn the lost souls carved in stone To sons and daughters Welcome home Chosen ones Futures and names for all of us No longer anonymous (Anonymous) No matter what they say It shall be done Forging us into priests and kings Carry us unto greater things To chase shadows of doubt so far away So that you may be glorified The spotless lamb has died to Paint the skies with Your Name!!!

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Snakes alive Only the strong survive Or is it those that nature chose? Generational lie [Verse 2] History Spiritual atrophy Thy will be done Thy kingdom come As long as it looks just like me [Pre-Chorus] "Pass it down father to son! Draw from the poison well To feed another generation" [Chorus] Paint the world in blood with us Spread your wings, sinsidious Have you satisfied your own bloodlust To live forever? Dogs of war, sinsidious [Verse 3] Master race Twisted and commonplace It's taught from birth Infected curse Wrapped in a flag's embrace [Verse 4] Digging in The great unspoken sin To hate another For none other Than the color Of his skin [Pre-Chorus] "Pass it down father to son! Draw from the poison well To drown another generation" [Chorus] Paint the world in blood with us (Paint the world in blood with us) Spread your wings, sinsidious (Spread your wings, sinsidious) Have you satisfied your own bloodlust To live forever? Dogs of war [Refrain] Shall we sing a song while the world is burning As they let the games begin? Watch the modern Nero play his fiddle While the teeth are sinking in Father may we guard our hearts From the overtly hideous And the more sinsidious And the more sinsidious [Bridge] Woo-aah! (And the more sinsidious) Woo-aah! Woo-aah! Wow! Woo-aah! Woo-aah! Woo-aah! Yeah!! [Guitar Solo] [Refrain] Shall we sing a song while the world is burning As they let the games begin? Watch the modern Nero play his fiddle While the teeth are sinking in Father may we guard our hearts From the overtly hideous And the more sinsidious (Sinsidious) [Outro] Woo-aah! (Sinsidious) Woo-aah! Woo-aah! Wow! Woo-aah! Woo-aah! Woo-aah! Yey!! Yeah!

Phase one: As the world descends in darkness Undone Memories of the faithful burning in effigy To read Upon a human understanding Renounce All the unseen until nothing remains but you and me Once upon the days of olden times gone by, the ancient stories told The great awakenings that shook the hearts of kings Now the skies are silent, a world where our will be done Has the sixth great extinction come? Phase two: Self-convincing and illusion That our relative morality Philosophies are all that we need To loose All this immature devolution Man, in his madness, pulls away into great apostasy Once upon the days of olden times gone by, the ancient stories told Of great awakenings that shook the hearts of kings Now the skies are silent, a world where our will be done Has the sixth great extinction come? All the wisdom of this world is foolishness The history of man's opinions changing with the tide Power to destroy the wisdom of the wise The wise Once upon the days of olden times gone by, the ancient stories told Of great awakenings that shook the hearts of kings Now we’ve forged a world where our will be done Are we alive? Are we alive? Are we alive? Or has the sixth great extinction come?

Step into the light Deny the chasing of the wind Secret sin that triggers hidden memories to activate again Disappointment in proportion to how long you've been around Everyone's here long enough just to let you down Man casts a shadow It takes you over Out of the darkness into light We open up our eyes Trying to make the most of just one life Who are you going to look to when all your heroes have died? All the ashes deified Yeah All those years of blind ambition back against the wall He makes subterfuges mission setting up a cataclysmic fall A betrayal in the dark he fell upon, said no goodbyes After all, his heart revealed where his treasure lies Man casts a shadow Oh, heart, deceitful Out of the darkness into light We open up our eyes Trying to make the most of just one life Who are you gonna look to when all your heroes have died And it's dust you deified? Burn your idols, Holy Fire Before they can burn you Sad denial of liars Aversion to the truth You and I or the fallen Should never wear a crown These pedestals are gallows We've come to tear them down! Out of the darkness into Light We open up our eyes Trying to make the most of just one life Who are you gonna to look to when all your heroes have died? When your gods have changed to still remains, it's dust you deified

When the ride was over, eighteen years circling the sun No regrets and not a word was left unsaid but so much undone It’s okay Lost his way Never quite made it back after he buried his best friend on that rainy day Another lifetime closing as the shadows take his mind And that daily heartbreak tears this scar open every time No one there Seems so unfair He calls her name alone then breaks down again 'cause he forgot she’s gone And we're left to wonder why Trying to say goodbye They say it's the ones who are left behind Who have the harder time She burned like a star to wish upon Harder to believe one day here, the next day gone In their minds A dream to turn back time Trying to endure the pain and navigate the wreckage of what still remains And we're left to wonder why Trying to say goodbye They say it's the ones who are left behind Who have the harder time Even though you're gone We try to carry on See you again, my friend, I know For we have the greatest hope

Scene of the crime inside a garden in Jerusalem Arrested by the temple guards A mock Sanhedrin trial With blasphemy the charge “Are you Messiah?” Said at the Blessed One The answer, loud and clear, “I am! At the right hand of God shall come the Son of Man!” Three years of ministry this man gained all authority The power to forgive all sins Who always had been and in justice come again So as we face the information and the knowledge givеn At some point we each must makе a choice The Word, as it is written Demands a reckoning of sorts For by those claims and actions Divinity is brought to bear Then one of three reactions Follows from there Have no illusions The only conclusions We're left to draw When we have heard it all The arguments rise and fall It’s either liar, fool, or Messiah Not just the good moral teacher Some say patronizingly With who He claimed to be The choices are one of three: Liar, fool, or Messiah! How can a mortal man be good and claim divinity? Could a great teacher say such things? It's either true or He's a liar or insane!

Freedom! It's carved in stone They're marching on Deliverance divinely conspired Through desert nights Once dead to rights Now following a pillar of fire It was written So it shall be done Generations of slavery Seek the God that they know Crush the heart of Pharaoh Let my people go At long last from Egypt released Exodus! Great power displayed Cycle of plagues Four hundred thirty years in chains Come to an end To march again Proclaim the end of Pharaoh's reign Lеd by staff and rod Chosen of God Descendеd of Abraham Displacing governments Mark the Holy covenant Forge the hope of Israel To enter the promised land One day the Chosen One shall lead the way! Shout of the heart of stone March from Egypt into the unknown Oh, God of Abraham Mercy, sacrifice, Passover Lamb Relentless, the Pharaoh's pride Recaptured slavery or genocide Now let the chase begin His heart of stone reformed And piece by broken piece It's hardened once again! Galloping horses and chariots pursue Into the desert they charge Six hundred chosen of Pharaoh break through Children of Israel, they see you from afar All the king's horses and all the king's men Captains and armies obey their decree Nation of pride and deceit closing in While a nation of helplessness kept by the edge of the sea The children of Israel now lift up their eyes The shadow's approaching their freedom at stake Chaos and panic and fear for their lives Death on both sides there is no escape The angel of God, the cloud and the fire It moves from the front to guard the behind Unto the chosen, a life-giving pyre A God of confusion unto the blind Stand still, and see salvation (Stand still, and see salvation!) Lift up thy rod, stretch forth thy hand (Lift up thy rod, stretch forth thy hand!) The raging sea divided (The raging sea divided!) Proceed upon dry land East wind splits the sea and Israel passes through two walls of grace Blinded by pride Egypt follows on this fatal chase And the Red Sea crashes down The walls destroying all the evil Raise your eyes, behold: the wicked drown and lie eternally At the bottom of the sea I will sing unto the Lord for He hath triumphed gloriously (Hallelujah) The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea (Hallelujah) Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea (Hallelujah) His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea (Hallelujah) Thy right hand, oh Lord, is become glorious in power (Hallelujah) (Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah) Thy right hand, oh Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy (Hallelujah) (Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah) Though hast overthrown them in the greatness of thine excellency (Hallelujah) (Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah) The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone (Hallelujah) (Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah) The scales have been presented and I have been found lacking My spirit has been tested and I have been found dead The verdict is submitted and I have been found guilty The curse has eaten through me since first I was mislead Oh, wretched man that I am Who will deliver me? Body of death is this corrupted flesh I am wearing With every breath is this crushing burden that I am bearing It seems so simple: I'm striving for what I never can be Guilt is my temple, I cannot escape from this prison of me! Stumble and fall on my face again And throw my hands to the sky Have mercy on my soul and hear my cry I slowly lift my eyes to see An ancient cross of the dead Blood streaming down it into a sea of red So I rise and run to the shore Of this sea of righteousness Sanctified now forevermore I dive into forgiveness And float away And the Red Sea crashes down (And the Red Sea crashes down) Destroying all my evil (Destroying all my evil) I sleep beneath the endless waves of Grace (Sleep beneath the endless waves of Grace) I float within the heart of Peace (Float within the heart of Peace) At last my soul has found release (Found release, found release) Within the sea of its eternal resting place (Sea of its eternal resting place) I'm cleansed within, I'm cleansed without The Red Sea crashes all around A baptism a holy trial (The Red Sea crashes all around) I am overcome and overwhelmed I take the swim eternal (The swim eternal) I'm swept away, it washes me (It washes me) It washes me forever!
