1.
Given up your values Exchanging the eternal with the earthly Shamelessly posing as something that you’re not Leading others astray Harvesting what you didn’t sow Claiming goods that you don’t own Twisting words Twisting minds Subduing to the Siren call of wealth Hoarding a fortune That moth and rust can destroy Shamelessly posing as something that you’re not Leading others astray Harvesting what you didn’t sow Claiming goods that you don’t own Twisting words Twisting minds Subduing to the Siren call of wealth Manipulating Your audience Your reward Is surely in store
2.
You claim to defend values You don't even know Going against the very thing You claim to protect Self-appointed Moral judge On shaky ground You know the letter of some of the Law But you completely miss its Spirit Your mercy triumphs over judgement But it only works for yourself Self-appointed Moral judge On shaky ground Missing the Foundation Of God’s love
3.
Unfollow 00:14
Get behind me Get behind me Get behind me I won’t follow you
4.
Divided 01:17
Polarized society Digging trenches Turning family and friendships Into a warzone The age old principle of Divide and conquer Is at work today Unknowingly embraced by vast numbers Hypnosis Of the masses Manipulated Into a verbal civil war The age old principle of Divide and conquer Is at work today Unknowingly embraced by vast numbers You have been tricked into Hating people on the other side The real enemy you’ve never seen He’s a master of disguise
5.
Betraying the trust of the innocent ones Committing hideous, unspeakable crimes Causing lifelong damage Scars that’ll never fully heal Remember the words He said: Whatever you do to the least of these You do it unto me Concealing the acts of the monsters Ensuring it will happen again The same thing somewhere else To new, unsuspecting victims Remember the words He said: Whatever you do to the least of these You do it unto me Depart from me, you who are cursed Into the eternal fire Prepared for the devil and his angels
6.
To Be Saved 00:38
If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, What will become of the ungodly and the sinner?
7.
Mistaking violence with strength Hiding in the shadow of your enemy Following a fatal pattern Imprinted so deep Feeling the shame Instead of the one who really should Concealing dirty secrets Pushing away the helping hand Finding comfort in The most horrible of situations Unconsciously attracted To certain disaster
8.
Believe 00:08
Don't be afraid Just believe
9.
You have left the straight and narrow To follow a god of your own design Professing to be wise You have become a fool Now when you hear his voice Do not harden your heart Professing to be wise You have become a fool Repent and return Before it’s too late
10.
Practice what you preach
11.
Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the body parts It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life On fire, and is itself set on fire by hell No human being can tame the tongue It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison Anyone who is never at fault In what they say Is perfect, able to keep Their whole body in check With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father And with it we curse human beings Who have been made in God’s likeness Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing No human being can tame the tongue It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison My brothers and sisters This should not be
12.
Voluntarily putting on a blindfold Assisting your executioners Helping them in your Own elimination Kissing the hand Of the betrayer Defending your oppressors against Anyone and everyone With a pair of open eyes And a living heart Your conscience had been put to sleep long ago With a lullaby of lies You had shut your ears To its distant cries Kissing the hand Of the betrayer Defending your oppressors against Anyone and everyone With a pair of open eyes And a living heart
13.
Resist 00:14
Resist the devil And he will flee from you
14.
Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power Put on the full armour of God, take your stand against the devil’s schemes For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world And the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms When the day of evil comes Stand your ground After you’ve done everything Stand Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist With the breastplate of righteousness in place With your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace Take up the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit Pray in the Spirit On all occasions With all kinds of prayers And requests
15.
Mercy triumphs Over judgement
16.
Therefore, with alert and fully sober minds Set your hope on the grace to be brought to you As obedient children, don’t conform to evil desires But be holy in all you do For you have been born again Not of perishable seed But of imperishable Through the living word of God Live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear For you know that it was not with silver or gold that you were redeemed But with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without defect Through him you believe in God and so your faith and hope are in God For you have been born again Not of perishable seed But of imperishable Through the living word of God Now that you have purified Yourselves by obeying the truth Love one another Deeply, from the heart
17.
In your anger do not sin
18.
Wisdom 02:02
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life Show it by deeds done in the humility That comes from wisdom But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts do not boast about it or deny the truth Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven But is earthly, unspiritual, demonic For where you have envy And selfish ambition There you find disorder And every evil practice But the wisdom that comes from heaven is pure and peace-loving Considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit It is impartial and sincere Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness
19.
God opposes the proud But shows favour to the humble
20.
Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic Love one another, be compassionate and humble Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult Repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called Whoever would love life and see good days Must keep their tongue from evil For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous And his ears are attentive to their prayer But the face of the Lord is against Against those who do evil Whoever would love life and see good days Must keep their tongue from evil They must turn from evil and do good They must seek peace and pursue it
21.
Be quick to listen, slow to speak And slow to become angry
22.
You have put yourself in the place of the Creator Projecting your thoughts and feelings on Him And presenting them as His perfect will Expecting others to follow You declare your Commandments As absolute Law for everyone You are living in a delusion Mistaking your preferences for God’s decrees You preach your own ideas Shoving them down on people’s throats You declare your Commandments As absolute Law for everyone
23.
As Yourself 00:20
Love your neighbour as yourself
24.
High Horse 02:30
Speaking in a loud voice Preaching from a high horse The verdict is declared Without hesitation No sign of doubt Not much thought given Refusing to relate To those you’ve learned to hate The verdict is declared Without hesitation No sign of doubt Not much thought given Quickly jumping to conclusions Peace this way is but an illusion
25.
In The Dark 01:30
You ever think you’re so clever But as I hear you speaking I get the impression that You miss out on the very basics What is it That keeps you So strongly In the dark At least you don’t leave anybody else in the dark You keep letting us all know of what is in your head What is it that keeps you So strongly in the dark What is it that prevents you From seeing who you really are Remove the blindfold From your eyes Open your arms to Embrace the light Remove the blindfold From your eyes And let reality Enter your mind
26.
Building on good intentions Supporting one’s delusion Assisting them to make Fatally wrong decisions Setting course on a dangerous path The end of which is yet unknown But once we see it, it might Be too late to turn back Building on good intentions Guiding others in directions That may easily turn out To be a road to hell Setting course on a dangerous path The end of which is yet unknown But once we see it, it might Be too late to turn back Time to stop and think Where are we heading Time to stop and ask Where will it all end
27.
What an ironic age It is to live in I see contradictions Wherever I’m just turning From questioning everything We have come a long way to Redefining everything With no questions allowed Open mindedness today Seems to mean nothing but Being open to Indoctrination While living a delusion Some offer solutions For those who are much less In need of a cure While posing as the defenders Of humanity’s freedom Some have become the new dictators Oppressing people
28.
The Echo 01:51
Preconceived notions Presupposition You’re just too busy with your Preconceptions Carefully adjusting Adjusting everything That happens around you To what is inside Filtering through all the input Keeping only what fits Into the picture you have already Painted within your mind Carefully adjusting Adjusting everything That happens around you To what is inside Carefully adjusting Adjusting everything Conveniently ignoring All data you don’t like Speaking your mind To let the whole world know Except for those who have A different point of view Screaming your mind Into the world around you Waiting for the echo To re-assure you
29.
Cashing in on the desperation Of those who have got tired of waiting Shamelessly taking the holiest name In vain Doomsday prophet Selling your lies Doomsday prophet Inventing ‘signs’ Doomsday prophet Sanity dies Doomsday prophet They don’t realize They want to see a sign That would affirm their beliefs They want to hear what satisfies Satisfies their itching ears Doomsday prophet Selling your lies Doomsday prophet Inventing ‘signs’ Doomsday prophet Sanity dies Doomsday prophet They don’t realize
30.
To Others 00:34
Do to others as you would have them do to you
31.
You honour God with your lips But your hearts are far from him You worship him in vain Your teachings are merely human rules Woe to you Because you are like unmarked graves Which people walk over Without knowing it Woe to you Because you load people down With burdens they can hardly carry And you yourselves won’t help them You blind guides! You strain out a gnat But swallow a camel You travel over land and sea to win a single convert And when you have succeeded, You make them twice as much a child of hell as you are Woe to you, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven In people’s faces You yourselves Do not enter Nor will you let those enter Who are trying to You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? You will be assigned a place with the hypocrites Where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth Woe to you, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs Which look beautiful on the outside But on the inside are Full of everything unclean In the same way You are full of Hypocrisy and wickedness
32.
In the beginning was the Word And the Word was with God And the Word was God He was with God in the beginning Through him all things were made Without him nothing was made that has been made In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it
33.
34.
What They Do 00:15
Father forgive them They know not what they do
35.
Lukewarm 00:49
I know your deeds That you are neither cold nor hot I wish you were either one or the other So, because you are lukewarm Neither hot nor cold I am about to spit you Out of my mouth
36.
May your money perish with you Because you thought You could buy the gift of God With money
37.
It is finished
38.
39.
Masquerade 00:48
Satan himself masquerades As an angel of light It is not surprising, then If his servants also masquerade As servants of righteousness Their end will be What their actions deserve
40.
No Reward 00:34
Be careful not to practice your righteousness In front of others to be seen by them If you do You will have no reward From your Father In heaven
