I am a ghost A phantom in a solid world Standing at the foothills of forever With no strength to carry on Every step I take Shines light on my defective state But I won't ever fade away Eternity is black and white And I've been living in between Another shade of gray Put your arms around me Lift me up so I can see The mountain of souls The river of blood Bury me in the river That flows with blood forever Carry me up to the mountain Where the sacrifice was made Where through a pool of light We experience spaces

In this hour the tower shall fall Initially they rationalized with futile speculations Which brought about their ultimately fatal calculations They sewed their own eyes shut To protect them from the light Closed the doorway of their minds Barred and sealed it tight Their foolish hearts were darkened Their vacant minds deceived The lies that they exchanged for truth Became all that they believed They exchanged the incorruptible For the image of fallen man Worshiped creature rather than creator The image rather than his hand The heavens wait in silence For the coming of the end As man perfects his own imperfection Destruction closes in In the grave they chose to make their beds And now all that they've created Comes crashing down upon their heads Death is waiting In this hour the tower shall fall

Technology will conquer, Biology will fall Machines provide the means for the chosen few To rise up and be "immortal" Discard the body to elevate the intellect Remove the head, remove the soul, implant the artificial Remove the head, remove the soul, dehumanize?... No! Shake off the chains The constraints of your mortality This new evolution puts "perfection" within our grasp Discard the body to elevate the intellect Remove the head, remove the soul, implant the artificial Remove the head, remove the soul, dehumanize?... No! I am not a mechanism I am part of the resistance I am an organism An animal, a creature, I am a beast!

Into the darkened tomb I walked but only found it empty My mind is tormented My soul is shaken As a flame is tormented by the wind and rain As the earth is shaken by an earthquake My heart has accepted What my eyes could never have believed I watched Him die I watched Him die In the silence death is defeated In my spirit the battle rages on And then I stepped into the light I heard His voice, I saw His face And then He stood there before me A man buried but never dead My heart has accepted What my eyes could never have believed I saw Him rise I saw Him rise He is alive!

The sky grows pale And the sea turns black Solid darkness falls all around me Makes it hard to breath Makes it hard to think But the darkness is not empty It is bearing down upon me Makes it hard to breath Makes it hard to think And I know this can't go on Oh death, my worthy adversary You've tormented me for far too long He leapt into the arms of Hell itself That gave birth unto corruption And battled with the undead corpse Until it's face was smashed beyond recognition My hands have taught me terrible things His hands have set me free!

There is a pattern of deception growing Feeding off of our ignorance It wont let go! Until we let go It wants control! Just take a leap of faith So many times we doom ourselves But the root is always the same We exchange our faith for rational thought We trade our conscience for advanced reasoning But there's no love in thought Nothing that lasts in deduction There's no hope in justifying wrong Just death in rationalism I am not of this world And science cannot explain me I will transcend death This body will not contain me This evil unseen must be defeated This pattern must be destroyed It hijacks the mind It distorts our perception Perverting the truth 'til it's gone It wont let go! Until we let go It wants control! Just take a leap of faith Compromising faith will doom the generations The cancer of mind-worship leaves the spirit to decay Compromise your faith and doom your generation The cancer of mind-worship will leave your spirit to decay

Oh Lord, my God When I, in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed And when I think that God his Son not sparing Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in That on that cross my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow in humble adoration And there proclaim my God how great Thou art Then sings my soul How great Thou art! My God how great Thou art!

Awakened from the shadows Leaving behind that cold and silent planet Moving through infinity Into the embrace of Heaven Eternity has overtaken me Eternity is inside of me My eyes have been illuminated To reality; the fallen state of earth Revelation penetrates the silence Cuts to the center of my spirit Destroys my previous conception of existence Until this moment all that I have known Is death's attempt at imitating life And for the first time I am truly alive Eternity has overtaken me Eternity is inside of me

The earth is shaking Because of His wrath The mountains tremble At the sound of His voice He pulls down the sky To crush His enemies He descends upon them with fire He is clothed in greatness His voice resounds throughout the earth His vengeance no longer is contained His light destroys the darkness If He speaks the earth will crumble If He moves the universe will fall He is clothed in greatness His voice resounds throughout the earth With the valleys of the seas exposed And the surface of the earth laid bare He reached down into the void He reached down and took hold of me! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
