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/ 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/ (Ekballo)

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, but you live 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 will 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 

I’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/ Redeeming grace 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, disorder, and sin/ Judgement rendered/ Matchless splendor/ Truly begins in the end

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 yourmind (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 heave/ Hallowed be your Name/ Forgive us our sins/ As we forgive those who sin against us/

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 every flippant desire/ But overtaken 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 their 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/ His 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 songs/ (But this is my song!)/ I’ll put God in my lyrics, if I want to/ Turn the amps to 11, 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 breathe trying to change me, if you want to!/

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/ 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) 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 a world now maligned/ (This is a war) And the powers the blind/ (This is a war) A generation defined/ By leaving standard behind/ (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 era’s 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 other’s back/ Gonna take our 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/ 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!!
