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

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!

Shrouded Divinity

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
