Shed Your Skin
03:37
|
|||
Innocence lost
The guilty released
A world of destruction
Crying for peace
Swallowed by hatred
Driven by pride
A spiritual wasteland
Under darkening skies
It’s time to rise up
Let your life begin
Let the old things pass away
It’s time to shed your skin
The world is in torment
Like flesh in a flame
We search for a new drug
To kill the pain
Censor the righteous
So the evil can thrive
The path to our freedom
Is right before our eyes
Look to the heavens
See all is not lost
There’s one who is worthy
He carried your cross
He sets free the captives
And breaks every chain
Step out of the darkness
In Jesus’ name
His love is matchless
Mercy divine
You were deserving of death
Yet he gave up his life
He is the door
When there seems no way out
Every tongue will confess
And every knee shall bow

There's a Way Out
04:10
|
|||
Lay down all the burdens you carry
Freedom isn’t found in your pain
Cast off every single chain that binds
Step out of the shadow of shame
Don’t let the world lie to you
Sowing seeds of doubt
Don’t let the world lie to you
There’s a way out
They said I would never be good enough
Voices whisper in my ear
In the valley of the shadow of death
There’s no evil that I fear

Straight and Narrow
04:37
|
|||
Like a glitch in the matrix
Life can turn on a dime
Though we’ve not been forsaken
It’s taken so long
In a world that’s unkind
Don’t let me fall
Take this heart that beats inside me
Only you can guide me
Down the straight and narrow
You’ve filled this emptiness inside me
Only you can hide me
Down the straight and narrow
How much more can I hold on
The earth begins to erode
When it seems hope is far gone
It’s not, I know
I’m never alone
Don’t let me fall
I cannot do this alone
One step into the unknown
Even when I can’t see
I know you go before me

When I Was Naive
03:47
|
|||
Before social media I thought all Christian bands
Lived what they sang about, but I was wrong
They seemed so sincere about their walk with Christ
In magazine interviews and in the lyrics of their songs
So I’m sending out this letter to the ones
I thought truly believed
Was it actually better back in the day
When I was naïve
Now there’s excuses for every sin and worldly pleasure
That come across the mind
It’s like trying to fit God into what the world will accept
But to me it’s just a lie
Now there is one question I don’t want to ask
The finger points at me, am I wearing the mask

Time, Precious Time
03:25
|
|||
I’ll spend time with the ones I love
Right now, I’ve got things to do
Then when it’s too late
The regrets crash down on you
The man who suddenly loses his voice
Has so much that he wants to say
Nearing the end of his journey
He regrets all the wasted days
Time, precious time
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
Tomorrow is not promised
Right now, where do you stand
Don’t let these moments slip away
Hold on to them while you still can
On this earth, your life and time
Will come to an end
Don’t throw away this priceless gift
Cherish every moment that is spent
Time, precious time
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
Don’t let it slip away

Broken Pieces
03:08
|
|||
In the end what will remain
When there’s no one else to blame
And you find yourself all alone
No excuses, no more lies
When there’s nowhere left to hide
And you’ve strayed too far from your home
Broken pieces
I’m a life that has been shattered
Lying broken on the floor
Broken pieces
In the hand of the master
He brings peace to this civil war
I’m my own worst enemy
I make the circle complete
You and I, we share the same tears
When the dawn has come at last
And the darkened veil has passed
Unfounded were all our fears
|

The Outrage Mob
03:25
|
|||
I don’t know how it came to this
With our freedoms so at risk
You cannot silence me
The truth will stand
I won’t bow down to the outrage mob
They’re not my judge and they’re not my God
I won’t bow down to the outrage mob
So go ahead and cancel me
I’m not the man that you think
As you drown in the media’s lies

Burn Away (Reprise)
04:03
|
|||
In the midst of trials
In the midst of pain, you are there
When my life becomes a nightmare
You wake me from my despair
Tear down the walls around me
Unshackle the chains that bind my heart
Burn away all that’s left of me
Until there’s only you
In the midst of struggles
When I feel that I’ve reached the end
When I’m searching for the answers
You rescue me again
Burn me away ‘til only you remain
Burn me away ‘til only you remain

Everybody Sins
03:53
|
|||
Right and wrong did not cease to be after the cross
God knows what’s in your heart and he weeps for your loss
Everybody sins
The same old cliché
Everybody sins
You tell yourself as you turn away
You walk away
Christ did not die so you could justify your wickedness
Grace is no excuse to ease the guilt of your selfishness
Good works follow those who believe
A call to repentance, so blinded eyes can now see

Game Changer
04:59
|
|||
Not held back by the pain any longer
What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger
All in or nothing at all
I stand as my enemies fall
So bring me the wasteland
Cause now things are changin’
I’m not the same as before
It’s time to light up the sky
This is no time to die
Here and now and forever more
If you could see a world in need
They love the poison that runs through their veins
But I’ll scream the truth until my last breath fades
Only two paths and one way out
The future is here and it starts right now
If I’m the last one left
Until my final breath
Upon this rock I stand
Upon this rock I stand
