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

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

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

Lukewarm 03:13
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
