Broken needle, familiar evil
It never seems too far away
Never see it, tell me that I need it
Destructive cravings come out to play

I see the bait plain in sight
And the hook that’s inside
That the Temptress has put in my way
I see her red glowing eyes
In the shadows of my mind
And I’m wishing she would just go away

Heavy Chains
Never, never just go away
Heavy Chains
Bringing, bringing my Hell to pay
Heavy Chains
Breaking, Breaking one of these days
Heavy Chains
Turning, turning and walk away

Always fighting, clawing and I’m biting
For the promise of better days
Mind renewing, changing what I’m doing
For victory to be on display

I see the Savior on high, and the death that He died
For the ransom of eternal days
I’ll dig my heels in the dirt, and I’ll push through the hurt
By the Grace I lay hold of you faith

Naked and disguising
Unable to hide
Guilty of eternal and temporal crimes
The enemy accuses
Says I deserve to die
And the worst of all is that he’s right

Child of a world defiled
Offered to be reconciled
Paid in blood to be born again
Taken from the fire as a brand

God, why would you consider this man?
God, where’s the righteousness you demand?
Casting aside your crown to wear my curse
The diadem of my shame
Aghast, angels and earth witness their king falling down like the rest
Swallowed in soil and weakness, and lower you go to give sinners your Name
Rising, your victory clothes you
Assurance to all who would know you

Broken code, programming incomplete
Running to what only will deplete
A life in chains held by the great machine
To enslave us to his deadly regime

Devoured on the gears of the fear we believed
This world reaps the wages of iniquity
We can’t put our trust in the things we have seen
We can’t conform, we must renew our minds
TO BEAT THE MACHINE!!

No longer captive to the lies
We’re pressing onward toward the prize
Victory found in sacrifice
TO BEAT THE MACHINE!!

It’s more than just gaining a second birth
And waiting for the day of judgement
You must remove the chains from your thinking
To manifest a nature renewed

Lies contaminate the airwaves
The power of the skies
Programming to make us slaves
This is where it dies

“If anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation
Old things have passed away and the new has come”
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
Therefore, do not be conformed any longer
to the pattern of this world
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2)

No longer scales over our eyes
The enemy has no disguise
You’ll see an army start to rise
TO BEAT THE MACHINE!!!

You are the road to the grave
The poison I crave
You say that I’m your lover but, to you, I’m a slave
The bondage begins when you lure us in
and traffick who you’ve captured for the pleasure of skin

I’ll cut off my hand before I reach for you
Gouge out an eye or, better yet, make it two
I’m severing ties and exposing all the damage that you do

No gonna fall for you anymore
Not gonna come when you call anymore
Not gonna feed the oppression you’ve hidden behind closed doors
For the soul made a commodity
and the addicted imprisoned beneath
There is a Savior who paid the price to set the captives free
The incarnated Deity

No hope of winning this fight
Exposed as a blight
No one to come and save you when you’re brought to the light
Victims of every age
Now out of their cage
And judgement falling on you with a holy rage

Displayed on a screen, and sell on the street
This flesh-trading empire will see its defeat

It’s just another string from abuse
It’s just another time I was used
It’s just another broken heart
It’s just another dream torn apart

No small endeavor (to leave the past behind)
You’re close forever (Every fracture you will bind)

In the midst of the lies and the stains
Mercy triumphs over blame
Despite the scars that remain, I refuse…
Refuse to become the pain!

The brighter future I could partake
In danger of the black sky of hate
The measure that I’ve held against you
Become the judgement that runs me through

Father in heaven
Hallowed by your Name
Forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us

Divorced from the memories and stains
By letting go of the disdain
With mercy leading the way, I refuse…
Refuse to become the pain!

Who can deny existence beyond the grave?
Who will deny themselves these pleasures that we crave?
Meaningless endeavors lead to meaningless results
And even if the world is in your hands, where is your soul?

I won’t allow my impulses to consume me
I’ll find my purpose looking towards eternity

Wake up and change the course of your life
Walk the narrow path rather than the wide
Not controlled by ever flippant desire
But overtake by an All Consuming Fire

Take a step back, hate what I see
Witnessing clockwork mediocrity
There’s no way I’ll let the jaws of time consume me
Until I know this drink offering is empty

There is no wisdom, there is no plan…
There’s no achievement in the grave where we’re going

Three years, or three seconds
All part of a past I’m not living in.
To keep looking back
Leaves me with a stiff neck and stumbling feet.

I am a new creation, not ashamed of my liberation
Call me what you will, but it’s never gonna be…
What can define me!

I change the way I see myself,
and now I live from that identity.
No longer destined for defeat.
This life restored is… what can define me!

I’m healed, and set free,
and preserved all the days to come.
I’m not perfection, but I press on till I am done!

I can see it on your face
The sorrow overflows
Through the cracks of the mask you made so it doesn’t show
The walls are closing in
The pressure builds within
And you’re worried everyone is gonna see you explode

I know when you’re all alone
The memories come in like a wave
And they cut to the bone
You question yourself a thousand times
“Why do I bother to try?”
So do I

The blood is enough
For everybody to begin again
The blood (Jesus’ precious blood) is the hope
For the defeated to finally win

With your identity erased
It feels like there is no escape
From the thoughts warring inside of your head
One more scar and you might break
It’s far too much to fake
And you’re worried the fear might take control

And to your cries
Mercy replies
Sever the ties
To the wounds of yesterday
Where sin abounds
Grace steals the crown
No longer bound
To the wounds of yesterday

Give one good reason to me
to stay in the box that you made for me.
Self-proclaimed renegades
put a finger in my face to go with the grain.
(I don’t think so)

This is my life, this is my dream,
this is my very own fragment of eternity.
I’m becoming everything that I was designed to be!
this is my life, this is my dream,
This is my very own fragment of eternity.
This Kingdom come and His will be done on earth…
as it’s been given to me!

It’s about the young and the old
to find that there’s a cure for the cracks in their souls.
God bless you if it’s not your thing,
go listen to whatever somebody else sings…
(but this is my song!)

This is my life, this is my dream,
this is my very own fragment of eternity.
I’m becoming everything that I was designed to be!
this is my life, this is my dream,
This is my very own fragment of eternity.
This Kingdom come and His will be done on earth…
as it’s been given to me!

I’ll put God in my lyrics if I want to.
Turn the amps to eleven if I want to.
Make the songs dynamic if I want to.
Share my faith from the stage if I want to.
You can become a critic if you want to.
Waste your breath trying to change me if you want to!

This is my life, this is my dream,
this is my very own fragment of eternity.
I’m becoming everything that I was designed to be!
this is my life, this is my dream,
This is my very own fragment of eternity.
This Kingdom come and His will be done on earth…
as it’s been given to me!

To all of those
With habits that make life crumble at the base
Hidden in
The corners of your life
In the shadow of shame

The time of empty bottles and broken needles
Are coming to an end
Empty promises of intoxication
Will see their efforts spent

Take back your life
Shake off these heavy chains
Never return
Forsaking these heavy chains
Don’t give in or quit
Your life was made for more than this, so
Take back your life
So take off these heavy chains

Though it seems
The web you’re in has got you too tangled to win
The body broke
The blood was shed to sever the cords of sin

With one step at a time from the chains that bind you
It will amount to your exodus
Don’t forget that a life awaits you
Just beyond the fight to be free

Taking it back!!

This is a war
And your soul’s on the line
To destroy your holy design
Make the choice where life aligns
And march straight in the infantry line
In the pages, you’ll find
The helmet to guard your mind
Authority to loose or bind
Spiritual powers and deeds of their kind.

(This is a war) And it’s already won
(This is a war) In the blood of the Son
(This is a war) And it can’t be undone
Like a shot from a gun!
(This is a war) Against the
world now maligned
(This is a war) And the powers that blind
(This is a war) A generation defined
By leaving standards behind

This is a war, and you better be ready
Eyes straight. Make sure your aim’s steady
Tread light; the landscape is deadly
I refuse to be another casualty

Turning my eyes to eternity
Not falling for temporary blasphemies
Been stricken by all of my enemies
But I swear, you haven’t seen the last of me
Bleeding out the blood of atonement
My sin is erased in a moment
The truth sets me free when I come to know it
By faith, I won’t live below it

(This is a war) Now absolved from my crimes
(This is a war) I’m turning back to design
(This is a war) Not a creature maligned
Abundant life is mine!

Demons from the earliest times
Inspiring every eras crimes
Multiplying destruction a thousand times

Machines by their subtle demands
Given rulership throughout the land
Embodying their will by the programmer’s hand

Justice perverted, society inverted
The principalities reign

Going on the attack
Fight as one, got each others’ back
Gonna take out freedom back
In an army of orange and black

A promise from the earliest times
A purchase to annul our crimes
And show mercy and grace a thousand times

Demonic bots think themselves to be gods
But they’re all gonna die like men

Going on the attack
Fight as one, got each others’ back
Gonna take our fredom back…

Jesus come break the chains
Wipe away all the filthy stains
Until only You remain

Train our hands for this war
It’s Your glory we’re living for
Come and reign forevermore

Venomous self-hatred
Pulsing from inside
Trailing to the veins within your eyes

Incubating anger, cause what everyone will do
Is filtered through the lens that everybody hates you…
As much as you do

It’s time to repent of the hate
It’s time to eradicate
The mindset that makes me regurgitate…
The venom of hate!

Incubating anger, pouring poison in the well
A world of iniquity bursts from your mouth
Set on fire by Hell

Love God and love
Others as yourself
A triune cord
Tied to abundant life

(And I know)
It’s time to repent of the hate
(And I know)
It’s time to eradicate
The mindset that makes me regurgitate…
(Jesus)
It’s time I surrender the pain
(Jesus)
My rights to embrace disdain
Let love sever me from the heart of Cain
The venom of hate!

A race enslaved
Dark powers carry them away
In the grip of a nation gone astray
Plagues and infestation
National devastation
To break the chains that hold the slaves

War in the unseen
Watch the Nile bleed
Locusts take their feast
Gnats defile the priests

Principalities
And authorities
Made a mockery from under His feet
Their conspiracy
Ending in defeat
Coveting the throne where He sits as king

A race enslaved
Dark powers carry us away
In the grip of a world gone astray
Dead in our transgressions
Within the devil’s possession
Until God bought us restoration

War in the unseen
Faith to be made clean
Set the captives free
Sealed eternally

Rise, O God
And judge the earth
All the nations…belong to you!

Wicked wraith
souls enslaved
in your barb wire grip
when you lead them astray
Stops this day
In the name
of the Son of God
for our ransom was slain

(In the name of the Father… the Son… and the Holy Spirit)

Cast out – in the name of the Lord
Cast out – By the power of His word
To the desert where you’ll find no rest
Cast out in the name of the Lord (Go!)

Sacrement
Manument
We are no longer bound to the sins we commit
Hear my words today/ vile spirit/ you will loose this soul from your sway

(I cast you out… to the abyss where you belong)

(“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge, my fortress. My God, in Him, I will trust.’” – Psalm 91:1-2 KJV)

(Ekballo x4)

Sick of all of the games you play
With the bait and the switch you say
Your attempts to manipulate
I’m prepared to defenestrate

I don’t care who you are to me
I’ll make sure that all our ties are severed clean
No matter what, you still refuse to see
How your words have become my pillory

All the words you say
As I walk away
Are falling to the ground
I’ll break from your chain
And forsake the pain
Cause you’ll only drag me down

All the time underneath your lies
Building pressure behind me eyes
Stuck around cause I couldn’t see
Past the blame that you placed on me

I have a new identity
And you’re not the one to define me
Finding my place inside the family
Of the Son of God who gave His life for me

Shepherds growing fangs and claws
Entice the flock to follow foreign laws
Scripture forsaken, experience taken the throne
And lost in a truth they call their own

The Gospel they contaminate
A judgement cast for the words the defecate
Imitating the angels gone astray
He said “Vengeance is mine, I will repay”

Arrogance of the highest degree
Deify the man and condescend the Deity
New Age, Pagan cult in progressive disguise
Doing the will of their demonic guides

Greed and idolatry, abuse and sanctioning sexual deviation
Damnation sentences by the God who gave His life
For our propitiation

A throne of white and a light exposing them
Naked, stripped of the lies that covered them
The chains of Hell encroach upon them
They retire drawing on the wage of sin

Wake to the same place as before
Trapped in a room without a door
Cause all the ways I’m incomplete
Create the hunger for deceit and I
return to my vomit like before

Lost in delusion
Awake in confusion
Unable to find my way
The substance, it calls me
The failure befalls me
God, help me to break away
From these heavy chains

I have my whole life yet ahead
I can’t make my bed among the dead
Whether the bottle or adulterous lips
Whether the needle or the acid trips
I will rise from every time I trip
I feel the coils start to slip

Unrepentant of the repeated offense that you’ve sown
Tolerated and your branch’s thorns have only grown
Claiming a place in the body/ Living as through you’re ungodly
Doing what you know is wrong and refuse to relent and repair

Infector
Given to Satan and left to your sin
Infector
Torn from the body within
Cut off like a cancerous limb

You ignore the scriptures’ direction
Refusing the congregation’s correction
Your rebellion you hold so dear
We put a stop to it here

When destruction unfolds
I pray that God may save your soul

Infector
Scorning the grace that our Savior supplies
Infector
Taking your cues from the father of lies
Infector
Given to Satan and left to your sin
Infector
Torn from the body within
Cut off like a cancerous limb

Taken away!
Dance to the beat of the drum of your soul’s enemy
Do what they say!
Not so subliminal super sonic cajolery

Propagate
More immortality
Fabricate
Distorted reality
Follow the song leading off of the narrow way
Ending in the destruction to pay

Garbage in, garbage out
Imitate what you entertain, there’s no doubt
Open graves sing out
Lead a crooked route
Cause garbage in, garbage out

Put on replay!
Blasting devices of the dark powers unseen
They’ll lead you astray!
Spilling their filth out of every speaker every screen

Prophesied!
Evil germinates
Sanctified!
Refuse the devil’s bait
Follow the words leading down the narrow way
Never turn aside to apostasy

’m not afraid to break away
From fetters so familiar to me
I’ll shed the sin, the victim’s skin
For abundant life ahead of me

Not gonna be the slave anymore
Forsaking the creature I was before

No vice has a hold on my mind and I’m free
Jesus paid the ransom for me and I’m free

Tested and tried, I’m sanctified
Changed by the renewing of my mind
I’ve made my choice, temptations voice
Fades in the distance behind

Maturing in the will and the might
The Spirit gives to do what is right
Not gonna be the slave anymore
Forsaking the creature I was before

Another day, another fight
With the arrow by day and the terror by night
Blinding the eyes of the ones asleep
Feeding them lies so they’ll stay in their keep

But there is hope for the lost
Paying iniquity’s cost
Our remedy is in Divine mercy
Redemption is supplied
In the Savior who died
Received and sustained by faith alone

Snatch them from the fire
Open up their eyes
Storm the Devil’s kingdom
Plunder Hell

Transgression multiplying
A world slowly dying
The gospel yet unheard
It’s all found inside the word
Going into all the world for their souls to win
Lest they be condemned dying in their sin

I’ve been poured out and I’ve run the race
I’ve fought the fight and I’ve kept the faith
I have a hope in the Savior who paid the ransom for me
Realized in my death or His coming again

It’s the end of the world and all we can see
It’s the end of the world, and that’s alright with me
This existence erased, perfection to come in its place
It’s the end of the world for you and for me

Oh what a joy, now I can say
This present darkness passes away
All of this evil is sentenced to be destroyed and it will pay
A new Heaven and Earth with no ending of days

Christ’s returning
Overturning
Chaos and darkness and sin
Judgement rendered
Matchless splendor
Truly begins in the end
