Your life was in ruins One wrong turn after the other The end was already in sight And that end was dead The miracle happened You were presented a second chance You could start with a clean plate You accepted the helping hand Why is it then that your current state Is worse than the old one was Why did you leave the straight and narrow And return to your folly You exchanged the worship of God With the worship of a man You sing about freedom but it’s easy to see That you are bound in heavy chains After a period of flying high You abruptly landed You have lost your wings You cannot take off anymore You have lost sight of the clouds above Your eyes are fixated on your wallet But no amount of money can buy What you have lost in the process "When an impure spirit comes out of a person It goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left’ When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself And they go in and live there And the final condition of that person is worse than the first"

Desperately trying to justify the hatred You show towards others Your self-righteous arrogance Makes it hard to relate to your case You keep playing the victim Even when you are the oppressing party You see yourself as a martyr Even when you execute the other with your words Your judgment is not righteous You don’t even base it on your own moral standard You use religion as a basis To feel yourself superior to others You don’t show compassion to the lost Just want them to disappear from your sight You keep playing the victim Even when you are the oppressing party You see yourself as a martyr Even when you execute the other with your words You only condemn the act if it was Committed by a member of "the other team" The Lord detests dishonest scales We are all at His mercy He gave His life for us to be saved Not to imitate His killers Don’t do the job of the Accuser He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone

You’re not a child of hell You’re not destined to perishing The Kingdom is already There within your heart Every day you can bring More and more of Heaven down to earth As you walk around God is walking with you His light is shining through you The darkness cannot devour you You may go through trials But you’re never alone Even when you don’t feel it He is with you, He never lies Even if you stumble His angels are there to lift you up At the end of the road The light awaits you No dark dungeon No fiery furnace is reserved for you Trust Him and believe in Him His words are true His power is more than enough To save you

My soul glorifies the Lord And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior For he has been mindful Of the humble state of his servant The Mighty One has done great things for me Holy is his name His mercy extends to those who fear him From generation to generation He has performed mighty deeds with his arm He has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts My soul glorifies the Lord And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior For he has been mindful Of the humble state of his servant The Mighty One has done great things for me Holy is his name He has filled the hungry with good things But has sent the rich away empty He has performed mighty deeds with his arm He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble

Praise be to the Lord Because he has come To his people And redeemed them He has raised up a horn of salvation for us Salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us To remember his holy covenant The oath he swore to our father Abraham To rescue us from the hand of our enemies And to enable us to serve him without fear In holiness and righteousness Before him all our days And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High For you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him To give his people the knowledge of salvation Through the forgiveness of their sins Because of the tender mercy of our God By which the rising sun Will come to us From heaven To shine on those living in darkness And in the shadow of death To guide our feet Into the path of peace

Mesmerized 03:47
Your lips are dripping with venom Your audience venerates you Enchanted, mesmerized Unable to see the obvious Itching ears swallowing Your message in whole With no filter applied No sanity check Neck muscles get tired Of the heavy nodding Whatever you say They will consume The venom spreads through the lives Paralyzing their conscience They become like zombies Barely living dead Contaminating the source Poisoning the well Advancing the deception Mixing a little truth with lots of lies It’s all written on your face Yet they don’t seem to notice With priorities shifting From the everlasting God to mere mortal men Itching ears swallowing Your message in whole With no filter applied No sanity check Neck muscles get tired Of the heavy nodding Whatever you say They will consume The venom spreads through the lives Paralyzing their conscience They become like zombies Barely living dead We gotta return to the source To the clean life-giving well Renounce the deception And leave hellish lies behind

Lord my God, you are very great You are clothed with splendor and majesty The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment He stretches out the heavens like a tent And lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters He makes the clouds his chariot And rides on the wings of the wind He makes winds his messengers Flames of fire his servants He set the earth on its foundations It can never be moved You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment The waters stood above the mountains But at your rebuke the waters fled At the sound of your thunder they took to flight They flowed over the mountains They went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them He makes springs pour water into the ravines It flows between the mountains He waters the mountains from his upper chambers The land is satisfied by the fruit of his work He made the moon to mark the seasons And the sun knows when to go down You bring darkness, it becomes night And all the beasts of the forest prowl How many are your works, Lord In wisdom you made them all The earth is full of your creatures When you hide your face, they are terrified When you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust When you send your Spirit, they are created And you renew the face of the ground May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live May my meditation be pleasing to him As I rejoice in the Lord Praise the Lord, my soul Praise the Lord

Superstitions Half-baked ideas False dogmas Rooted deep in your mind Displaying folly For all to see Lacking modesty To be quick to listen and slow to speak Be transformed by the renewing of your mind Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is His good, pleasing And perfect will Do not be wise in your own eyes Fear the Lord and shun evil Not many of you should become Teachers Because you know that we who teach Will be judged more strictly When words are many Sin is not absent But he who holds his tongue Is wise Be transformed by the renewing of your mind Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is His good, pleasing And perfect will Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding For she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold

Atonia 03:03
Unable to move Am I dreaming awake? Or has my worst nightmare Come to life? My muscles fail to respond I am unable to do what I will I feel betrayed by my body Even though the culprit is my mind Vulnerable I feel powerless A heavy weight On my chest Cannot move a muscle It doesn’t feel like I’m awake What is happening to me Did I get a glipmpse of hell? My muscles fail to respond I am unable to do what I will I feel betrayed by my body Even though the culprit is my mind Pray for this nightmare to end To get back in charge Of my movement Of my actions

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away And I heard A loud voice From the throne Saying "Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people And he will dwell with them" He will wipe Every tear From their Eyes There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain For the old order of things has passed away "I am making everything new!"

I am not my own I have been bought Redeemed with the precious blood Of the lamb The lamb that was slaugthered at the place of the Skull Innocent, no sin of his own, no crime committed Still took up the cross paying the ultimate price For our transgressions The wages of sin is death But the gift of God is eternal life In Christ Jesus our Lord

about

It was time for a new AM album. It is probably more death metal than grindcore but the grind influences are definitely there throughout the album.
