I left my pride at the front door; falling knees first head bowed at the altar
Giving all I am as a sign of repentance I offer to You as my act of penance
I left my pride AT THE FRONT DOOR; falling knees first head bowed AT THE ALTAR
Giving all I am as a sign of repentance I offer to You as my ACT OF PENANCE

Blood In, Blood Out

WE ARE moving our feet with our hoods on
Sacred is the ground on which we dance upon (to the beat of our own drum)
This covenant was made with foundations being broken and bloodstained hearts becoming whole
When the weight of the world comes crashing down on your shoulders
And your bones begin to break from all of the pressure; the pressure is rising RISING
Just remember the blood that was spilled for you and I
The blood that shook the foundations of the Earth
Believe me and the promise that you won’t be left behind
Remember me and what I said, that we will stand and fight to the end
Remember me and what I said, that we will stand and FIGHT TO THE end
For what doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger
For what doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger
As iron sharpens iron, we are here to strengthen you
We built you up (brick) brick by brick and we never intended just to let you fall down
Bloodshot eyes, and a weary heart; you cannot do this on your own…
But I will stand my ground, my ground for you…
I will stand my ground, my ground for you…
I will stand my ground for you when you have nothing left
I will stand my ground for you even in the face of death…

Punisher

You know, it’s hard to see with you spit in my face
I only see your back as you WALK AWAY from everything we had, from everything we built
But you burned it to the ground
And I just want to know why?
You became the one thing that you claimed you hated (Hated)
Debauchery running wild, playing your mind games, and torturing these lost souls
This is not a game
Now they burn
Where is the faith you professed?
I guess it died like the bodies lying at your feet
You threw it all away for sinful pleasure and selfish gain
AND NOW THEY BURN so you can have your fun
Well live it up because you’re burning the candles at both ends and your time is up
Are you happy now!?
Did you get everything that you wanted out of this life?
I HOPE SO
Forgive me Lord for I have tried but they vehemently reject Your Truth
So I wash my hands of their blood…

All the nations tremble to their knees, as they all once stood in reverent fear
Lightening cracks to show the battlefield, show this world WE ARE VICTORIOUS
We have a Power beyond all Power, a strength that surpasses knowledge
The ground shakes and the masses tremble when they see the flag of our King they fall to ruin
WE WILL NEVER DIE
Set apart since the dawn of time, from birth refined through fire
Hands unbound with the purpose to bring Hope to the hopeless; the sick and dying but
We've returned to depravity breeding filth hatred AND DISEASE
This injustice will no longer stand; you will feel the fury of my Father's Right hand
HIS RIGHTEOUS HAND
Carnal our weapons are not because we fight with Blood bought hands
We aren't the new breed but we're the old guard and we've returned to save the whole world
We are victorious and that will never change
Everything you've ever known in this one moment crumbles, are your beliefs, your foundations mean nothing to me
Tears well up in your eyes and you fall to your knees and you realize...you realize...we won
WE WON
No matter what we are victorious

Jaw Wired Shut

You are not a man of God; you are a snake disgorging venom of self-glorification
This makes me sick and your reign of terror ends tonight
Abdication must TAKE PLACE for the sake of every lost soul to truly be saved
You do not speak Truth YOU SPEAK selfishness and condemnation
For every person who does not BOW DOWN and worship everything that you say
Holier than thou you are a fool and A SNAKE and a reason that the lost may never be saved
You lost your humanity when you fell in love with every malicious word that uttered from your tongue
No matter the cost or the damage that you caused
And now you’re all alone; no one left to listen to your lies
And now you’re all alone; no one left because everybody died
Can you hear them? Because they’re burning in Hell
You love hearing the sound of your own voice; it may soothe your soul but it does not soothe mine
When you speak it’s like salting an open wound and then scraping it shards of broken glass
I pray that conviction hits you like a brick in the face so you might change your ways
This all begins and ends with you…
Tongue tied with nothing to say
Your mouth is clenched tight; muscles aren’t responding
With your jaw wired shut let the congregation see you for what you really are
PREPARE FOR THE END
I told you that this ends tonight

Iron Clad

The Devil stands before me and he’s calling for my head
Spewing venom, gnashing his teeth; longing to rip out my still beating heart
But what this demon doesn’t know is that I’ve fought this fight before
And I know that when my enemy rises up like a flood I will stand firm on what You made me to be
Born of fire I AM IRON CLAD; I do not fear death and I do not fear the grave
When all hope is lost I will stand firm and fight, fight for my life
Unrelenting, I will shout to the heavens and bring Your holy fire down to incinerate this evil before me
Flame, all consuming
The Devil strikes back, his blow puncturing one of my lungs
He laughs as a grin starts to cover his face
But I see the fear in his eyes as I taste the blood in my mouth and I stand firm on what You made me to be
Born of fire I am iron clad; I do not fear death and I do not fear the grave
Death has no hold over me (DEATH HAS NO HOLD OVER ME)
As I raise a banner to the sky proclaiming victory over my enemies
So every vile creature will see I am bought by Blood; nothing can touch me
Unrelenting, I will shout to the heavens and bring Your holy fire down to incinerate this evil before me
Flame, all consuming
And with the Blood that flows through my veins I know that death is only the beginning
