SHADOWS

In this modern age
Virtue signals win the day

Judgment falls with rain
So get out of my way

Doxxing those we hate
Eager to expose the names

On the final day
We will stand in shame

(In shame)

Show me a soul without a stain
Point to a truth we haven’t profaned

What right do we have to complain?
When every shadow is ours to sustain

Marching side by side
Deafened by each other’s screams

Babel will arise
We become God now

I can see your sin
Come with us and learn to hide

The righteousness parade
Join or be crucified

None are righteous, no
Justice, mercy flow
The messiah is the way

Show me a soul without a stain
Point to a truth we haven't profaned

What right do we have to complain?
When every shadow is ours to sustain

Only a perfect soul could come
Reversing destruction we have done

Guilty are all under the sun
Yet He has love for everyone

Evildoers, now turn back
Find in His burdens, your rest

As I live I take no heart
He feels no joy in your death

Wicked men from darkness, turn
Call forth the spirit to dwell

Humble yourselves under My cross
Why will you die, Israel?

Show me a soul without a stain
Point to a truth we haven’t profaned

What right do I have to complain?
When every light could be mine to sustain

Only a perfect Christ could come
Reversing destruction we have done

Guilty are all under the sun
So we must have love for everyone

Have love for everyone

WITNESS

Waiting, as my hope is fading
Silence serenading
All of us who know no home

Calling out, as we are falling
Now reduced to crawling
Together we stand alone

The trials purify for miles
Facing our denial
Questions that will never cease

We’re waiting, as our hope is fading
Silence serenading
All of us who know no peace

And when the darkness grows
Inside of me

I reach out, I reach out

And when the shadows light my
Path away

End all doubt, purge all doubt

And as I walk through
The valley of death

Grant me life with
Every breath

So as I climb the mountain
Back to You

You surround, surround me

Lost here, can anyone
Hear me
Why is it I fear the
Only One who knows the end

Isolation is the outline
Catacombs of my mind
To predictable dead ends

Grant me strength
To know my weakness
Fire as I seek this
Mercy that I long to find

As life’s trials take
Their toll now
They’ll see I am whole now
And my smile is justified

And when the darkness grows
Inside of me

I reach out, I reach out

And when the shadows light my
Path away

End all doubt, end all doubt

And as I walk through
The shadow of death

Grant me faith with
Every breath

So as I climb the mountain
Back to You

You surround, surround me

(Instrumental)

Years of sleepless nights
Restless days
Trying to find You

I never knew You were
Right there alongside me

Guiding me right through
All of my doubts
Leading me to You

Inside every thought,
Every feeling you were gone
You were there

DEMAGOGUE, RISE

Provoked by our greed, as the victor claims all power
Invoke a dire need, pass a brick for Babel's Tower

We choke on the words that we chant to you
As we dance upon the bodies of those who held you down

I will bow to no one
But the One who made me

I see death in your eyes
Demagogue, rise

Now with our hearts afire, provide our every need (our every need)
A mask that veils corrupted eyes, that prey upon the weak

And as the night approaches, we will seek
The dark to light our way (to light the way)

The foolish lead the wise
Demagogue, rise

Ignite Adam's nature with sparks of primal fire
And fight through the waking of darkness, final liar

We light the torch for the witch hunt as we forget
That we're the ones who are soaked in gasoline

I pledge myself to no one
Only He who saves me

As the world around cries
Demagogue, rise

Now with our hearts afire, provide our every need (our every need)
A mask that veils corrupted eyes, that prey upon the weak

And as the night approaches, we will seek
The dark to light our way (to light the way)

A tyrant pacified
Demagogue, rise

(solo)

Ignore marks of blood on the blacktop for your idol
The war monarchs love with a backdrop genocidal

No more can we fall for the trap of men playing God
And obey when they come demand our hearts

Demagogue, rise

Now with their hearts afire, they meet your vile need (your vile need)
The mask you wear will guard your eyes from sights of poverty

And as the night approaches, you will seek
The dark to hide your lies (to hide your lies)

We stand mesmerized
Demagogue, rise
