Darwin's tale

It's so simple to think that we are animals who do what we want
Lay on the grass and eat our hearts out
While the stronger kill steal and destroy
As the king devours the weak at heart
Our fields are golden brown and wet
As the rain smudges the sunset
So ideal we are wholesome we are fat
Will we lay here with the flies on our backs
No we are not animals
We are not animals
You are more than you think
You were set aside to dominate
Over all this world
That's what mankind was made for
We couldn't jump over these walls
They built our fences to high
We couldn't jump over these walls
They built our fences to high and our legs are weak
We couldn't jump over these walls
They built our fences to high and our legs are weak
We couldn't jump over these walls
They built our fences to high and our legs are weak
You are more than you think
You were set aside to dominate
Over all this world
That's what mankind was made for
We feed off the timid ones until there is nothing left
Our days are numbered we cannot be tamed
We created an instinct of chaos
Once inspired by Darwin's Tale
It's the survival of the fittest
We have been branded on our skins
Our souls are dying from within
There is no food in this barren land
The vultures gather their forces
As we are lead like sheep to the slaughter
Will we get out of line and run from this pack of wolfs
No I tell you
We are not animals
For we were created in His image

Overcome this world

Show me the light
For the days are getting shorter
The nights are long and cold
Our hearts are getting harder
We ignore the truth for a moment's pleasure
We burn our lives
The ashes fall on dust from where we came
And soon we will return
Don't be like sand in the wind
For many are called but few are chosen
Don't be like sand in the wind
For many are called but few are chosen
Will you be
You're falling backwards their selfish lies have blinded you
All that they do is promote what is empty
How ashamed we ought to be
When rather we are proud
And they don't seem to understand
That the wages of sin is death
Use your time before it's late
Use your time to get it back
Greed has become what they base their systems on
Power has become what they base their worth on
Will this be the end
No
Why do you keep on betraying the truth
Don't be like sand in the wind
For many are called but few are chosen
Don't be like sand in the wind
For many are called but few are chosen
Will you be

Even though I'm on my knees static
I know it's out there
The road is leaving me behind in my comfort
While I decide it's time to move on
And let go of my fears
The wind is at my back I'm running faster
The storm is breaking the trees
The leaves are soft on my bloody feet
Oh where will I run
Closer and closer to the rubble I head
I'm feeling slower and slower
I want to rest my head on the stones
I don't know if I can keep this pace
No
I turn my face towards the broad
The road is wider than before
I am warmer
The snow it falls
As I find a foothold on the narrow
The cliffs and rocks form a shallow grave
The frost I inhale sets my lungs ablaze
The wind is at my back I'm running faster
The storm is breaking the trees
The leaves are soft on my bloody feet
Oh where will I run
And I, I'll run this race
I'll persevere through it all
I'll run this race
I'll run this race
I'll run this race
Every day I take a stand
But I fall again
I fall on my knees and it hurts
Every day I take a stand
But I fall again
I fall to my knees and I pray
I'm rising I'm lifted up
I'm rising I raise my head
I'm rising I fly I float away
I will never overcome
It is only by His mercy that I am raised
I am raised
I am raised
I am raised

The prisoner's voice
03:04
|

I know it's time
To drive out the demons and heal in His name
Yet they call me a traitor
But I will take the blame
Because I know I did the same
How did we become this
I will rejoice despite these chains
With all I am
The stocks warm my ankles while the moss stains my fingers
And the dripping water entertains me
But to my God I will sing
The jailer came closer and grabbed me by the arm
Put me in the deepest cell
His dirty hands were shaking
Dark walls gathered around
Him and I our freedom taken
You were my only witness
Before you locked the doors
And the dark came in as I sing
I will rejoice despite these chains
With all I am
The stocks warm my ankles while the moss stains my fingers
And the dripping water entertains me
But to my God I will sing
Then the earth was shaken
As the walls were cracking
And the prisoner stepped outside
The people laugh
But we are not disgraced
The city mocks
But we are not dismayed
The children stare
But we are not ashamed
The rulers threaten us
But we are not afraid
In the end when we are called the sons of God
They will stand amazed

Showing it's all
Cannot explain why you are not fighting against
What throws you down before you've fallen
Swimming in quicksand but you're not listening
Lying in your bed while your wooden floors are burning
Drunken catalyst it's heart warming
But your hands are cold
Your spirit lukewarm
There is vomit on the floor
Behold I stand at the door and knock
Gold watch on white sheets
Raise up to reach for eyedrops to counter the smoke
This naked body will not burn
If only I can see
I don't want to, to be
Wretched miserable poor and blind
I will be clothed in white
Thorns pierce my skin
Sin soiling my thoughts
Until delight's forgotten
My spirit is willing
But my flesh is weak
Can this guilt stop reminding me, this guilt
Let me go let me be let me smile
Every once in a while
Let me feel like I'm worth something
Dear Lord forgive me
Strengthen me
While my deeds mean nothing
Your grace is all that saves me
