Behind the Inverted Star
Adorn your works with the unholy So naive of which it stands Comfort in conformity Tribute to the fall of man
Ancient evil this mark will tell
The five-pointed sign points to Hell
A hate that burns like fire lies behind the inverted star
Locked at war with granite law Like all tales of villainy
A pretense to cover flaws Animal humanity
Ancient evil this mark will tell The five-pointed sign points to Hell
A hate that burns like fire lies behind the inverted star
Vanity is no refuge
Selfish lives are built on sand
Flee the lies men have stated
Lean not on folly of man
Ancient evil this mark will tell The five-pointed sign points to Hell
A hate that burns like fire lies behind the inverted star
Ancient evil this mark will tell The five-pointed sign points to Hell
A fate of endless torment lies behind the inverted star
Summon the Accused
Summon the accused, before this tribunal
The boastful one who claims He is the son
Judgement's at hand by the laws of this land
Pharisess, priests, and the mob they command
Brought to the high priest - Annas
Mocked in the courtroom of Caiphas
Take Him to the Roman magistrate
Execute, let Pilate seal His fate
Pilate examined the King of the Jews
His questions were answered with nothing but truth
"What is truth?" was all he replied As cries from the crowd screamed "Crucify!"
"Indulge in your blood lust, I wash my hands, behold ... the man!"
"Deny the Christhood as your disciples deny.
Caesar rules this world, swear it or you shall die.
If you are a king free yourself from these bonds."
"Yet mine is the kingdom beyond."
Fearsome Warrior
Fearsome warrior, strength divine
A killing machine, born to fight
Those who stand against surely die
A whole army fell by his might
Sworn foe of the Philistines
Not like any man who's ever been
Fought and overcame wild beasts
His strength was legendary
Lashed out, all around
Spilled their blood, struck them down
By the bone of a jaw
He attacked, made them fall
Born a human weapon
Imbued with massive brawn
Great power inside him
Can't be held by any bonds
But he has one weakness
That he must never say
If they knew the secret of his strength
It would spell the downfall of his reign
Her persistent questioning Revealed the cause of his strength
Used it against when asleep
His strength then left his body
Enemies came, he was seized
Now a normal man, can't break free
Thrown into jail as a slave
Forced him to work night and day
Gouged his eyes, made him blind
Brought so low from so high
He's disgraced, just a joke
Must perform for their show
But he prays to the Lord "Please grant me this one thing
Give me my revenge on these three thousand Philistines.
I feel two pillars that hold this roof overhead.
Now return my strength for one last time.
Let me bring this roof upon their heads!"
Illusion of Control
MACHINERY - Just a cog in a cosmic machine
POTENCY - Joined in clockwork rhythm with all things
Formed from dust to live the master plan
Our course was written before time began And yet we are consumed by constant fear
WORLDLY - Not an inch can we add to our height
BREVITY - Not a year can we add to our life
And yet we struggle year after year
(chorus) A troubled race we run but the war has already been won Illusion of control
MORTALITY - Fleeting time upon this mortal plane
FUTILITY - Busy futile lives we live in vain Frustration and failure from our hands Can't succeed apart from His command
And yet we boast about our mighty deeds
TRAGEDY - No power to save ourselves from doom
MANDATORY - No recourse but to accept the truth
And yet we don't embrace our destiny
Black Day of Execution
The charge has been made, I am sentenced to die
Beaten, bloodied and scourged through the night
A long slow march to the skull on the hill
Don't let me die but please do Your will
No tonic to soothe me, I die as a thief
Upon my shoulders this burden of grief
Now my breath has left me, storms blot out the sun
Tombs are cracking open, Death has come undone
Pawn of the Liar
Marionette of the whims of your enemy
Manipulated by your dreams in life
This futile chase ensures your downfall
Will you be a pawn until you die?
Marionette of your enemy
How quickly you fail again
Hear him calling and you'll obey
Though it brings you pain within
Forgot your past, doomed to repeat
Promised the world for your soul
Forgot yourself, taken the bait
Never learning, never grow
Living as a prisoner of your own flesh
Enshackled by your desire
A foolish child living vain dreams
You're just a pawn of the liar
Great suffering you must endure
How much more can you take
before the pain makes you cry out and you finally turn away
You're broken down, into nothing
and you're brought down to your place
Condemnation from the Most High
You must find another way
Harbinger
A birth that ancient prophets foretold
The mighty guardian of light
He was the chosen one to set us free
Being of power and infinite might
A teacher beyond the greatest scholars of the day
They came to behold this man from many miles away
Harbinger
Your prophecy was true
Your profound message changed the world
All our hopes lie with You
He has the power to control the elements
His will has formed the stars in the sky
Every creature draws breath through His plan
The demons flee, angels fight by His side
Before time began, He knew what history would tell
Back from the grave with the keys to Heaven and Hell
Forbidden Evil
(Originally written and performed by Forbidden)
Killers thrill, endless slaughter
Mother cries, her tortured daughter
Tattered flesh and silky hair
Rip her soul and left her bare
Unbelievers hold evil, learn or burn
Commit hate and torture, your soul will burn
Bloody angel drenched in sin
Ripped down to blistered skin
Its wings decay, fallen prey
Holy Lord please end this day
The king of death shall rule
His plague of Hell is fire
He's come to fight his duel He's worshipped with desire
Behold forbidden evil, he's come to fight you'll see
Behold good God the Savior, will rule eternity
Prince of Hell surrounds the Earth Fulfilling what is said
The demons scream from Hell and kiss the bloody birth
Forbidden Evil
Anthem to the Unseen
Ancient One hear my cry of reverent praise
To your Anointed and all His ways
(chorus) From your creation let us call the name of God
Exalted above all
Sovereign One take my life to do as You will
Cut off every branch that doesn't yield
The Return
He will soon return to the world that rejected its savior
They mocked and killed His servants that He sent out to all the world
He's waited for them to repent but His patience won't endure
When the day is here He will call down hardship on the impure
A coming time of suffering on a massive scale
The likes of which has never been seen
From the agony of torture they will long to die
But death won't come to grant them release
He who first came to the world in peace will return with the sword He will separate His chosen and then loose the hounds of war
Men consumed in bloodlust will engage in battle, killing scores Incited by the crimson horsemen who rides from shore to shore
A coming time of warfare on a massive scale
The likes of which has never been seen
Peace is taken from the land for one last conflict
At Armageddon the place of killing
Many cities will be crushed and kingdoms will fall
Forces of nature enraged, celestial assault
Society will break down, Pain and despair will abound
A coming time of vengeance on a massive scale
The likes of which has never been seen
We must watch for all the signs of those final days
As we await the return of The King
The Return
