1. Human Condition

Originally recorded for Post Momentary Affliction

Verse 1

Wars and famines, A.I.D.S. and broken lives
Drug offenses, damage to bring demise
Bury the dead in their coffins
Mankind is rotting away
Global misconceptions
Lies to steal your life

Bridge

Lies, wars, hatred, Antichrist

Chorus

Human condition
It is no superstition
Human condition
In desperate need of God

Privatisation, selling the world away
Abolishing independance
New World Order shall arise
Bury the dead in their coffins
Mankind is rotting away
Cashless world is coming
The beast is on arise

Bridge repeat

Chorus repeat

Verse 3

One will rise with false hope
Seeming to solve the crisis
The man of sin, the Antichrist
Bringing the lies of death

Mankind is rotting away
Look in the Bible for answers
Don't accept the false demise

Bridge repeat

Chorus repeat

(Luke 21:8-9, 1 Thessalonians 2:3-11, Revelation 13)

2. Toxic Shock

Originally recorded for Primative Rhythm Machine

Verse 1

Over indulgence in substance you require
To settle down, to feel sane, the his is in your mind
Veins pumping, eyes lost, hideous life of pain
It hates you now, the joy is gone, death crime insane.

Chorus

Drug free body, you must deceide
Drug free body, beware! The toxic shock.

Verse 2

A life of compulsion, excessive in every way
No moderation, more sensation, feelings inside your
brain
Young bodies may take it, but age will tell the toll
Satans plan to kill you young, possession growing
strong.

Chorus repeat

Bridge

Pain, fear, despair
Hope, it is the other way of life, you can be saved
from the toxic shock, from the pain inside
From a mind of loss, see the cross

Verse 3

Back street hangout, in drains you do await
Body shacking, heart is racing, frantic for you man
More suffering, excessive, ways have killed your mind
You will crawl the gutters of filth to fix your pain

Chorus repeat

Verse 4

Many will testify, that through the power of God
All is broken, all is clean, God can heal your mind.
Drug free, it can be your way
Simply see that it is done, Christ is there to save.

Chorus repeat

3. Death Requiem

Originally recorded for Scrolls of the Megilloth

As they gather at the funeral wake
To speak of good times gone by
The deceased soul learns some more
Revealed reality, the flames of unrest

SONG: "Maybe his in his next life"
Sobs ma as the tears roll
Unknowing the eternal destination
As He awaits the judgement throne

SONG: "He's at rest now"
The hired celebrant proclaims
He tickles all the ears
While sin is exposed by the Heavenly Host

Silence falls over the crowd
As the casket lowers into the ground
While kneeling in the Heavenlies
Confessing the forsaken Lord of his life

SONG: "How can God allow this"
Cries sister in lament
But God had other plans
And revealed what this has meant

You gather what you cast into this straying earth life
While man has his will, the Son paid the price

You turn the flesh back into dust
Saying return to dust you sons of Adam
Lord teach us so to number our days
That we may apply our hearts to wisdom
In order that we avoid the aftermath of separation
Returning to the original purpose of creation

So back on earth men make their claims playing
SONG: "Where do they go" games
While up in Heaven the creator cries as people listen
To each other's lies

4. Martyr's

(dieses Lied beruht auf wahren Begebenheiten)

Originally recorded for Hammer of God

Chourus

Die for your faith, die for your faith, die for your faith,
die for what you believe in

Verse 1

Small group in Cambodia, gather in the mud brick room,
teachers shares The Word, then they kneed and pray,
communist soldiers storm the door, throw the Bible to the floor,
spit upon this book or you will breath your last
one by one they spit and cry
they're in fear of their lives
a young girl wipes her Jesus dry
shot in the head she dies.

Chorus repeat

Verse 2

Evil man killing the christians
satan gives him the false abuse,
but as he reads The Bible truth,
he converst to the Christian Faith,
taken to the evil leaders, he is a disgrace
thrown into a slime filled pit,
eaten by rats for his new Faith.

Chorus repeat

Verse 3

Preaching man in china,
taken from hias family home,
thrown into a prison cell,
for no criminal reason,
rotting and tortured in his fate,
he will not deny his Faith,
he knows the truth of Christian ways,
no brutal force will make him change.

Chorus repeat

5. Satan's Doom

Originally recorded for Mortification

Words & Music: Jayson Sherlock

Behold the one called Lucifer eternally damned
In caverns of despair
His mind infested with hate for you
May every soul of his death be aware

We reject you Satan the prince of hate
You'll pay dearly for the atrocities you've done
Your head will be crushed and vile gore spurt
It'll be all over for all who hate the Son

Choose not to die
Choose after-life

Vengeance is mine saith Almighty God
Whatever you sow you'll reap
Unlimited power is found in Christ
You must arise from your deceptive sleep

Come before the writhing flames
Witness the death of your spell
For Satan is stripped of strength and power
Left helpless to burn forever

Soldiers of hate on the war path to doom
Victims of their decision to deny
Destructive consequences befall the denier
Almighty will reveal to them why
No more sacrifices required
Away with your satanic attire
Wake up mislead children of wrath
Escape the consequence of the fire

Must you prolong this charade of gore
The hands of time in continual movement
The scum of the earth that you call master
Has already been defeated

Behold all this of which we speak
Is genuine warning to those who'll listen
Illusion or fantasy this is neither
Decide for Christ you must hasten

(Deuteronomy 32:25, Galatians 6:7, Matthew 28:18], Psalm 72:14a, Mark 16:16, John 3:18)

6. Hammer Of God

Originally recorded for Hammer of God

Chorus

Hammer of God, Crushing the gates of evil
Reigning in Glory, Satan bows to The Word
Fire, burning, swords, blazing,
Hate, dying, Glory, Raised.

Verse 1

Heads held high, reflecting God shining
Now the Hammer has fallen
Evil lies, on the anvil
Sparks are flying, as the Hammer smashing blow.

Chorus repeat

See the sky, streams of Light breaking forth
Darkness cracked, as the candle shines
Raised with force, the Hammer will prevail
Christian ways victorious, fill us with Your praise.

Chorus repeat

We are light, spreading Gospel Truth
You just might listen to our ways
Now be converted, feel the blessed heart
Change forever, eternal life

2x halber Chorus

7. Scrolls Of The Megilloth

Originally recorded for Scrolls of the Megilloth

Guidance of our intimacy
Holy love is what I see
Direction from the book of life
Song of songs in the Megilloth

Existence of admiration
Man's part of God's creation
Scrolls of the Megilloth
Scrolls of the Megilloth

David's genealogy
A female friend is she
Ruth is a book of love
To overcome difficulties
Boaz, symbolic of Christ
Redeeming His holy Church

Esther, victory of morals
Over conniving racist king
Sovereignty and great courage
Protection of God's people

Taken to captivity
A sense of tragedy
Jeremiah's Lamentation
Grieving for his nation
Destruction is a logical result
Of defying God

A book of philosophy
Frustration absurdity
Everything has a season
Purposed under Heaven
Ecclesiastes, Solomon's searching
Just like your life

8. Mephibosheth

Originally recorded for Primative Rhythm Machine

Verse 1

David made a covenant with Jonathan
A promise of trust, the spilling of blood
Slaughter the heifer, walk between two parts
Off with my head if I break the oath.

Chorus

Mephibosheth
Blood covenant

Verse 2

Jonathan died in battle
David, ascend to the throne
Mephibosheth a cripple
Son of Jonathan lost
Left behind as they fled
Oath of death upon David's head

Chorus repeat

Bridge

The search went out for Mephibosheth
Caught, imprisoned, cursing rebel
Brought before King David's throne
Thought that death was imminent
David remembers the covenant oath
He'll show kindness to Jonathan's house
Seen as now the son of the king
All that was Saul's would now be his

Verse 3

You are Mephibosheth
David, symbolic of God
Your resisting His throne
The blessing of the blood covenant
Christ died for you, you don't even know

Chorus repeat

9. Buried Into Obscurity

Originally recorded for EnVision EvAngilene

(Romans 6:1-12, Romans 6:16, Ephesians 2:1-10)

Ripped off by the the fears of your mind
Buried without release
Christ's love brings healing
False fear erased

Chorus

Battle of the flesh to overcome your fear
Believe in release, face your fears and win

Unfulfilled in the call of your life
No faith in your cause
Believing the lie that you are nought
Can you ever succeed

Chorus repeat

Buried into obscurity

Hold your faith power, push your fear down

Beating the fears with your faith
Lifting the holy cause
God can surely use your life
when you're bold in heart

Chorus repeat

Raised into eternity

Hold your faith power, push your fear down

Verse 1 repeat

Chorus repeat

10. Monks Of The High Lord

Originally recorded for Blood World

We are the order of grinding silence
Leaving the peace as the music subsides
Again impacting with brutal sonics
He will expel the evil of darkness

Chorus

Essence of silence
Monks of the high Lord
Essence of noise
Monks of the high Lord
Feeling cold from a menacing absence
I'm surrounded by a constant noise
I remember my true religion
I adjourn to your peace in the mist

Chorus repeat

Bridge

I see, the beauty and beast
I feel, your power and beat
I know there is a way
Show me, grinding silence
So many people
Caught in a world of noise
Open your mind and see the sound of the quiet
Live in the grinding silence
A life of sheer extremes
Noise and quiet, life, Lord & peace
What do you worship?
Don't worship gods of wood and steel

Bridge repeat

Finding solace in the light of your word
Breeding life in the heast of silence
Humming a tune of orchestral essence
Meeting with you in the still of creation

11. At War With War

Originally recorded for Triumph of Mercy

Chourus

yeah, at war with war

chorus 3&4

yeah at war with war, no more, at war with war.

Verse 1

they seek his life in vein he will not be
denied, he escapes the clutch of sin to be restored
unto his homeland

Chorus repeat

They brag the victory, but it comes through love not
hate, see the power comes from the servant who puts
his sword to service
Bridge- Love not your life among us, lay down your
hate for service, the power comes from lifting others,
the weak shall hate mankind. What makes you think
you're powerful, you hate those you see as less but
the more people that you trample, the more you're
bound to trip.

Chorus repeat

Militias of death, people who hate the black
man...what makes you think you're best? take heed of
victorys in arenas

Bridge repeat

Interlude

I have made myself a servant to all, that I
might win all the more, now I do this for the Gospel's
sake that I might partake it with you. To the jews I
am a jew, to those under the law as under the law, to
those without the law as without the law, seeking to
serve, to signify.

Chorus repeat

Verse 1 repeat

Interlude repeat

12. Illusion Of Life

Originally recorded for Break the Curse

Can't you see this world's illusions of life
It's not gonna last. You won't survive
We're all destined to the grave
Unless we call upon God to save
us from eternal death.
The illusion of life is that you think you're safe
without the Lord and His saving grace
While you think you've got safety and peace
Your lifes suddenly over no more mercy
Hell awaits you, it's too late.

The things of life is all that seems to be real
But can't you see that in eternity it's just a fantasy
Christ is the reality in Him is eternal life
This world isn't gonna last. It's gonna burn you'd better run fast

Eternity is the reality. Look forward to it with Jesus
Faithfuland true he'll never fail you
He loved you so much that He died for you

The illusion of life tells us to live for today
till the day that we pass away
No thought to prepare for your Maker
Live for God or die with the faker- This world can't save you.

How can you guarantee yourself eternal life
Today you are here and tomorrow you die,
Do you know where you'll go when you've gone
There's only two ways to go, up or dow, You'd better decide.
