Conversion

Give up your life as your own
this is what you need to do.
We're all so loving until you don't do what we say to.
You will never be alone!
Now change yourself to be accepted by the church
Now change yourself to be accepted by the church
You're save if we approved
Who made you God? Who gave you the power?
Who made you God? Who gave you the power?
Who made you God? Who gave you the power?
False teaching leading sheep astray
There's a way to wake up!
You have to do it their way!
There's a way to wake up!
You have to do it there way!
They say, “Do as I say, not as I do!”
(Taking back everything that I once knew)
And now it's time I step out on my own and live the life I want
and not just the one that I've been told

Oh God!
This world is such a mess, we've taken everything!
It's like a drug, my actions make me sick
I point out others flaws while sitting here on my throne of lies
Judging me while cheating on your families
While indulging in all the things you tell me not!
Oh Lord, I am so ashamed, I've done everything to fail you!
It's like a drug, my actions make me sick
I point out others flaws while sitting here on my throne of lies
Cheap thrills and temporary pleasures (pleasures)
Leaving us empty and thirsting for more!
Leaving us empty and thirsting for more!
Now, now I know that what I'm doing has been all wrong
Now, now I see, my throne of lies has been revealed to me!
I've become what I hate the most!
(I've become what I hate the most!)
I've become what I hate the most!
(I've become what I hate the most!)
This is not who I want to be
I have become
This is not who I mean to be
Who I swore I'd never be like
I am just a backstabber
You stupid hypocrite
Look what you've made!
You've lied about everything
God is not a ploy to use
for cheap thrills or temporary pleasures
that leave use empty and thirsting for more
you are the deceiver!

Shallow Believers
03:22
|

Taking what doesn't belong to you
Preaching in our face!
Your faith is shallow
Taking word switching them all around
Shoving them down our throats
Your faith is shallow
I'm not giving up!
Oh shallow believer!
You have nothing left to stand on!
Your words are lost!
I now see you for who you really are!
Preaching words aren't true in your heart!
The church promised life but all I see is hypocrisy
The church promised life but all I see is hypocrisy
(This is heresy, to the hundredth degree)
Yeah!
Oh shallow believer!
You have nothing left to stand on!
Your words are lost!
I now see you for who you really are!
I know I don't want to be like this anymore!
Take this what's left of me
I know I don't feel Your presence
Take what's left of me
Take. What's. Left. Of. Me. In my heart!
Taking what doesn't belong to you
Preaching in our face!
Your faith is shallow
Taking word switching them all around
Shoving them down our throats
Your faith is shallow
Oh shallow believer!
You have nothing left to stand on!
Your words are lost!

Kingdom Awaits
01:35
|
|||
The dream is always the same,
I'm standing on a lofty shore, the wind blowing viciously behind me.
I don't know how I got here, all I know is I'm waiting for something,
I'm waiting for You to move.
I listen to the gusts of wind to hear You voice,
in the waves crashing against the shore line, but I hear nothing
Suddenly in the calm quietness of my inner most thoughts
I hear You say in that still small voice, “The Kingdom awaits”

If He holds back the waters there is a drought
If He lets them loose they devastate the land
To Him belong the strength and victory
The deceived and deceiver are His
He leads councilors astray and makes fools of judges.
He leads councilors astray and makes fools of judges.
I refuse to have my horizons clouded by the atrocities you spew
When wicked deceivers surround me their veils shall burn,
your lies create a void taking everything leaving nothing,
the last grain has fallen!
This is the last time you cry wolf
Your voice never will be heard again
Watch those you've deceived turn ears to truth.
The deceived no longer eat lies from your hand.
He leads councilors astray and makes fools of judges.
He leads councilors astray and makes fools of judges.
We will not be broken! We will not be moved!
We will not be broken! We will not be moved!
We will not be broken! We will not be moved!
We will not be broken! We will not be moved!
We will not be broken! We will not be moved!
We will not be broken! We will not be moved!

No Honor Among Thieves
03:42
|
|||
You're so exasperated by what consumes you
Pushing victims to the front lines of this war you wage.
All you are, all you fear, will pass with time, will pass with time
You're so exasperated by your self righteousness
Pushing victims to the lines of a war you wage
Take my life!
There is no honor amongst thieves, no honor among us all
We take what we want and leave nothing.
Take this life make it yours!
Take this life make it yours!
There is no honor among the thieves, there is no honor among us all
There is no honor among the thieves. We take want and leave nothing.
My chains are gone.

Every saint has a past
every sinner has a future
billowing sails on the mast
these wounds shall be sutured
we can be more than what you say
In the shallows we wade, desperate to make our way.
Raise your hands release the pain!
Raise your hands release the pain!
Let it go!
the past can't define us
Let it go!
our life is what we create
Let it go!
If our past must define us
should we wipe the slate
there's a way to wake up
free you from your sleep
In the shallows we wade, desperate to make our way
The deep we drift a way, an anchor with no chain.
Every saint has a past, every sinner a future
if we bend to the will of others, we lose ourselves in the mists
LET IT GOOOOO
I've found my way the wind it slower takes me astray
Accept the fray, take on the burden of the day
In shallow we wade desperate to make our own change
Drift away, an anchor with not change
I've found my way!

American "Christianity"
02:52
|
|||
My empathy for you is as
empty as the hearts you lead astray.
A “Faith” fellowship of money lovers and liars
A thousand eyes tell a thousand lies
while simplicity dies away and
even a thousand times with a thousand lines
can't express my dismay at the loyalty
you have to material possessions.
Storing up treasures on earth.
You pervert the image of the Father
using the name of God as a bill of goods,
marketing salvation for a price.
Faith is now a corporation fueled by greed.
American Christianity at it's finest.
You are wolves leading sheep astray
Taking the clothes off their backs with
no remorse
Beware the wolf in sheep's clothing
They will eat you a live
Beware the wolf in sheep's clothing
They will eat you a live
You pervert the image of the Father
using the name ofGod as a bill of goods,
marketing salvation for a price.
Faith is now a corporation fueled by greed
American Christianity at it's finest.
You legacy will be forgotten, withered
and turned to dust.
OOOHHHH!!!!
You are (you are) wolves (wolves)
My empathy for you is as empty as
the hearts you lead astray.

A Wretch Like Me
03:03
|
|||
Was that which is good, bring death to me?
Was it was sin, producing death in me?
Was it sin? Was it sin?
Was it sin? Was it sin?
I don't understand my own actions
I don't do the good I want, but do the thing I hate
I don't understand my own actions
I don't do the good I want, but do the thing I hate
I don't do the good I want, but the evil is what I keep on doing
I don't do the good I want, but the evil is what I keep on doing
I don't want to be this man anymore I want to be set free
Oh wretched man that I am who will free me from this body of death?
Amazing grace
how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost
but now I'm found
was blind but now I see.
Now I see!
