Land Once Loved
02:27
|
|||
For a moment it was paradise
Built our homes along the riverside
We went forth and we multiplied
Joseph’s children’s we were Israelites
The cities Ramses and Pithom
Raised in chains by our peoples’ hands
Praying nightly for a champion
To bring us to the promised land

Ever since I was born just wondering where I belong
Never quite right but not quite complete wrong
Everything I tried not quite was it should be
Never sure if it’s this place or if it's me
But I know one day they’ll see
Everything that bothers me
And the pain that I have seen
And they’ll see what bothers me
Got nothing for love for this place where I was born
Just what that means to me I’m completely torn
What defines a man and describes a source
What directs a river when it’s on its course
But I know one day they’ll see
Everything that bothers me
And the pain that I have seen
And they’ll see what bothers me

Broke Them All
03:29
|
|||
Long for what’s not yours
Know that it’s all unjust
Hear words without their truth
There’s no one you can trust
Take everything you please
Leave nothing but some dust
You’ve fallen into her snare
You can’t control your lust
Tried not to fall
I broke them all
And since the fall
I broke them all
I had to crawl
To reach the wall
And since the fall
I broke them, I broke them all
Quickly hide your blood-stained hands
Conceal your crimson blade
Don’t fear authorities
There’s no one you’ve obeyed
Forget those rituals
From which you’ve surely strayed
Don’t give a thought to them
You’ve never kneel to pray
Tried not to fall
I broke them all
And since the fall
I broke them all
I had to crawl
To reach the wall
And since the fall
I broke them, I broke them all
Please don’t cast me thy presence
How shall I be their deliverance
Please look past all these transgressions
For you know my good intentions
Just one fall
Just one trip
Is all it took
For me to fall low

Don't Send Me
04:06
|
|||
Who am I that I’ve been chosen
To do this task you’ve laid on me
Always falter when I’ve spoken
How will their ears be turned to me
Who made ears that they should listen
Who formed mouths that they might speak?
I am the one who sends you
Staff in hand no longer weak
How I am to believe this
A flame that can’t be smothered down
I shall come no further
For I walk on holy ground
Rulers will give their attention
A mighty hand will be above
But if they ask for demonstration
Turn the river into blood
Don’t send me
Lord don’t send me
I cannot speak
Don’t send me
Lord don’t send me
Your servant’s weak
Don’t send me
Lord don’t send me
Don’t make me go
Don’t send me
Lord don’t send me
If you say so

Set These People Free
01:57
|
|||
Tell me can’t hear our pleas
Won’t you set these people free
We’ve been slaving laboriously
Bent down in our agony
Thought that your authority
Could lead to remedy
To resolve this misery
Are you blind why can’t you see?
Heed this wisdom I impart
But somethings hardened your heart
I am the advocacy
To end all your tyranny
We won’t complacency
We wait for delivery
For this evil treachery
We slave insubstantially
We demand some decency
Can’t you show us some mercy?
Heed this wisdom I impart
But somethings hardened your heart
If you do not set us free
You will face calamity
You’ll be punished severely
And see your mortality
Better heed this ministry
Or meet with catastrophe
You will be viciously
Exposing iniquity
Heed this wisdom I impart
But somethings hardened your heart

Wrath or Wonders
10:31
|
|||
Who are you to take everything I own
How dare you speak to me while I am on this throne
I don’t know your god so why should I obey
Or listen to a single word you have to say
River turn red, water to blood
No use to tred in the foul flood
River turn red, water to blood
Drink of the dead, banks crimson mud
But he won’t hear my plea, surely he can see
He won’t won’t hear my plea, surely he can see
Rotting flesh in fields is this sacrifice
All our toiled land full of cursed lice
Rotting flesh in fields wounds ravage our skin
Oh what have we done to have been done in
But he won’t hear my plea, surely he can see
He won’t won’t hear my plea, surely he can see
You thought you’ve seen something but just wait cuz here comes more
Lightning lighting up the sky and hail clouds come to pour
Shaking through the thunder crash kiss your loved one farewell
Cannot shield them through the downpour spiraling through hell
But he won’t hear my plea, surely he can see
He won’t won’t hear my plea, surely he can see
Don’t take him from me, he’s all I’ve known
Forgive my hard heart, hardly seen what’s shown
Swiftly in the darkness, no blood was shed
When I try to wake him, no raising the dead

Song of The Sea
02:21
|
|||
Sing praises to the Lord
He has triumphed gloriously
The horse and his rider
Has been thrown into the sea
The Lord is my strength and salvation
He brought us to the other side
And saved us from certain destruction
And washed up our foes in the tide
Sing praises to the Lord
He has triumphed gloriously
The horse and his rider
Has been thrown into the sea
The raging of the mighty waters
Oh how the current it was blown
He has saved our sons and daughters
And how those chariots sink like stones
Sing praises to the Lord
He has triumphed gloriously
The horse and his rider
Has been thrown into the sea

Did We Come Here To Die
03:52
|
|||
400 years we’ve sweat and slaved
We’ve been led here our desert grave
400 years this our reward
To be of thirst or by the sword
Did we come here to die in the desert
Led to ruin by this foolish escort
Did we come here to die in the desert
Have we been blindly led here to die
Our fathers told of promised lands
But all I see are desolate sands
Our fathers cried in agony
Dear brothers cast into the sea
Did we come here to die in the desert
Led to ruin by this foolish escort
Did we come here to die in the desert
Have we been blindly led here to die
No graves are there in the desert
Why heed this foolish escort
Did we come here to die

Mount Sinai
04:28
|
|||
There on the third moon
I saw them gather
Standing in front of me
I heard a voice as it called down my shoulder
I’ve carried you now obey
I felt a cloud as it sank the heavens
So all believe endlessly
I watched them as they all kept a distance
No hands were laid on me
Who is this a top me
What’s that he said
I heard a degree
Rind through my head
I felt the footsteps treading back down me
Face shining like the sun
Blinding the eyes of those in the valley
Waiting to hear what was won
Then I saw the clouds burst
Shudder with lightning
Thundering down from the sky
Breathed in the smoke
As it surrounds me
All of this send from on high
Who is this a top me
What’s that he said
I heard a degree
Ring through my head
Third day when the ram’s horns sound
They approach me
Third day when the ram’s horns sound
I’m trembling
They built an altar used twelve pillar
Set it all at my feet
They took their oxen and blood-filled basins
All for an offering
Who is this atop me
What’s he received
They’re all consecrated
Been washed all clean
Who’s this a top me
What’s he to me
I am only a mountain
