Somber Reflections A soulish endeavor Embers diminished In a torrent of lies Renew your mind Evil-this place is evil - Renew your mind Evil-this place is evil - Blind lead the blind Sickness in season An absence of reason When you feed on the darkness It tortures your mind Renew Your Mind Evil-this place is evil - Renew your mind Evil-this place is evil - Blind lead the blind Freedom comes from peace within The inner man need not be bound Yet as the sinner so is the saint At twilight's gleam will faith be found? Free to boldly seek his face Unmasked Deity embraced In his wounds the truth concealed Through the veil his grace revealed He is my sanctuary Of holiness sublime He is my sanctuary My advocate divine Jesus Christ my sanctuary Saviour for all time

Movement of misled desires Inviting calamitous woes Conjuring illicit fire Spellbound by ravenous crows Casting their lots with legions of serpents Feeding on venomous lies Deceived deceivers - professing believers Who revel in Eden's demise Apostasy brags of its unity While In league with the children of Cain The Scarlet Beast's Whore boasts impunity Yet she's drunk on the blood of the saints Light deemed as darkness Darkness as light Slaves to desire - chaff for the fire Who curse the true children of light Sola Gratia Sola fide Legions of fools See the suffering servant And depreciate his pain The self-righteous pawn strikes the mouth of the wiseman And seals his fate with the slain Casting his stones With prophets and priests while crushing the knees of the lame Revelling in madness The heretic's gloating Without a sliver of shame Unified through deception Casting out discernment with contention Lured by the purest of intentions Blurring the foundations of redemption Sola Gratia Sola Fide

In Darkness 04:57
Vexation in darkness Stricken with endless throes In weariness I find no rest Only perpetual woes With brokenness and swollen eyes Can't lift myself to thee Yet you hear the beggar's cry Be merciful to me Vexation in darkness Affliction stalks it's prey Despondency so cold Paints the sky with grey In solitude I find no strength But yield myself to thee In weariness you are my rest Be merciful to me Cast out the Accuser Cast out the Deceiver Struck down but not forsaken Though withered you don't despise Renewed in my affliction Delivered from worldly ties In solitude in darkness Serene and sublime Renewed in my spirit As life flows from the vine Cast out the Accuser Cast out the Deceiver Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies!

Seething at the boundaries of time Held captive to this transient state Longing for release From this temporal prison Where serpents lie in wait at the gates I long for freedom From this delusion There is no power in Mere resolutions Dogmatic cures For the eternal disease Their religion is as bloodied As the scars on their knees Few are the faithful casting shadows Exposing their deceitful thrones Payed the price in martyrs' blood Beneath their sacred stones Kingdom of transgressive harlots Deceptively enslaved Submerged in darkness - clothed in light Entirely depraved I long for freedom From this delusion Behold the wayward falsely hallowed Exalting self to feed the beast Cursed from conception without rebirth To feed the flames that will not cease Slaves to sin that still remains No human flesh removes the stain Tightly bound by inner pride While ignorance remains.... Concealed in mystery Shrouded Divinity Source of reality True light of tranquility Behold the ancient sacrifice The face of God in flesh Nailed to a bloodied cross That souls may find their rest
