1) Humiliation
6:47, lyrics:
He left his infinite glory
Delivering himself for all the men
His body was nailed to the cross
He was humiliated and blasphemed
He has no doubt obeying his father
He was faithful in everything
It has to followed for every men
Living in peace with God in heart
Jesus Christ is the Lord
Don't let anguish erode your soul
Don't let loneliness invade your heart
The solution to painful is Christ
Open your heart and let it act
Don't ignore who loves your so much
He just want to change your life
Christ loves you don't close your eyes
And you will see the glory of God
Jesus Christ is the Lord
Pain, Tears, Sadness is over
He is my way
He is my truth
He is my life...
Jesus Christ is the Lord
2) Way for Life
9:16, lyrics:
Look the world
How the humanity agonize
By evil of the men
Surrounded
By dead gods
What deceiver
Your empty heart
Come look your creations
Look the effects of your work
You are happy with your conquests
They'll carry you to the salvation
See what
Wound
The Heart
Human
Announcing
False doctrine
Confounding
The way for life
Come look your creations
Look the effects of your work
You are happy with your conquests
They'll carry you to the salvation
Men believe they are immortals
Rising their glance and say
Lord above I don't need you
Cause I can win without you
Come look your creations
Look the effects of your work
You are happy with your conquests
They'll carry you to the salvation
Because the sky will open
And like a flash of light the son of
God will appear and his glory
And will carry his people
Force of destruction
Way to hell
Word of blasphemy
Vocation to evil
Why you seek in darkness
If you can't see.Come look your creations
Look the effects of your work
You are happy with your conquests
They'll carry you to the salvation
3) God's Wrath
6:22, lyrics:
The grand day of God your never be
Forgotten
Cause many will suffer it's consequences
The ins committed have no more mercy
Cause the disdained the creator
The will be taken to condemnation
Cause they didn't want salvation
And will claim the hills to fall down on them
Cause they cannot face God
The God's wrath to the hell souls
Will punish the with the eternal fire
The shall be weeping and gnash
Of teeth because everything is over
It will be sad seeing making repenting
But there won't be solution Knees will bend
And all people
Will confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord
There nobody that can resist
The God's wrath..The God's wrath
And those who have choice salvation
And confessed their sins will receive mercy
Those will listen to the masters voice saying
Come unto me my sons
Cause they have chance of accepting Christ
And chance their destiny living with the Lord
Listen to our creator's words
Who delivered his son cause of his huge love
And has free man from all damnation
Giving him the choice is destiny
In the end all people will regret but it will be
Too late
All knees will bend and all people
Will confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord
There nobody that can resist
The God's wrath..The God's wrath
And those who have choice salvation
And confessed their sins will receive mercy
Those will listen to the masters voice saying
Come unto me my sons
4) False Emotion
6:33, lyrics:
Why enjoy a life in a world of fantasies
Where happiness is a false emotion
In every day life of this people
More and more they go
To the end in darkness
Because they are blind
And can't see the salvation
Waiting you to choice yourself
Because in the cross Christ has won for us all
And conducted our life to the light
Taking evil out from our hearts
And making us try truth in ourselves
Why staying in beautiful ways
If in the end your days will be to death
Cause the ways of wrath are easy to live met
And take men far away from God
But solution is found Jesus
That through his death gave you life
The life in heaven in God's side
That will show itself in the end of days
Every pain he will put out
And every tear in your eyes he will dry
And forever we shall live at his side
We shall be his own and shall be our God
Because of this forever we shall adore his name
God will bless you, and will free you
And will change yourself saving your life,
forever!
For those who had accepted God
Awarded with the eternal life
Everything is done I'm the alpha and omega,
I'm the beginning and the end,
I'm the fountain of life waters to who has thirst
5) Fallen Face
10:04, lyrics:
Why hating him if he gave himself up for you
Why blaspheming him if he died for you
Why you don't accept him if he takes care of you
He has been helping you and doesn't want anything
from you
Don't be with the evilness try to free yourself from all the chains
That are holding you and will take you to the gates of hell
A tear arise from a fallen face
Loneliness invades a sadly heart
A soul longing for divine forgiveness
And claims for celestial mercy
Go! Raise your head and wake up
Don't let anguish destroy your life
Hold my hands I can show you life
Let's walk together in paradise
Don't be scare of facing the world
There is a good way to folloe the up
Your enemies will cause no evil to you
Cause you are under God's protection
That won't give you in evil's hands
And you feel victory only under his hands
Don't be scared of being happy
Open your heart and shed your soul
Put your head up and listen to God's voice
Get courage and be winner
Go! Walk above the waters by faith
Raise your sword and sea will open itself
Get fulfilled from glory of the saint spirit
And your soul a sea of live water will run
Because only Jesus Christ is the way, truth, and life
The Lord that delivered himself to death
There's no condemnation for those who accept Christ
There's only victory and it's in those hands
6) Silence of Angel
6:34, lyrics:
Winged beings made for Lord's praise
And protection of everyone who serve him
Messengers that will take Lord's good news
For the fulfillment of the prophecies
Adoring ones who are always proclaiming
Holiness and greatness of God
Warriors that fight against all the princedom and powers
In the horts and celestial regions
And the fight in favor of God and the Lamb that won
Who is our Lord and for whom angels claim
In God's adoration they will never cease
Proclaiming their Lord because there's no silence of the angels
Fight in favor of God against satan they
adore when shall to the Lord
Silence of angel
Faithful serves doing their deeds
God has been putting in their hands
Carrying out great acts to manifest
The grand glory of the kingdom of heaven
Combating the power of evil spirits
Enemies of hell,
Obeying God’s designations
Because the love their Lord
And the fight in favor of God and the Lamb that won
Who is our Lord and for whom angels claim
In God's adoration they will never cease
Proclaiming their Lord because there's no silence of the angels
And the fight in favor of God and the Lamb that won
Who is our Lord and for whom angels claim
In God's adoration they will never cease
Proclaiming their Lord because there's no silence of the angels
7) Cry in the Dark
8:29, lyrics:
Our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
Amen!!!
Hearts in misery blaspheme their creator
Condemning themselves to torment and pain
They live the dreams of a failed world
Delivering their lives to a fallen angel
Souls seduced by the darkness
Impeded to see the impetuous win
That blows emptying their mind
Ways that look like leading to joyness
But in dead they lead to death
And to a track of no return
Evil wanna deceiver all people but in
The grand day he will be destroyed and
Those who was with him
Satanism spreads through humanity but his days are getting over.
Man will lament his blasphemies in adoring in heaven the son of God
Keep you out from the death
Road reject the dark
Open your eyes see the illusion of world
Tell me why do you cry in the dark
Receive the grace of God
Raise up from this grave
Evil wanna deceiver all people but in
The grand day he will be destroyed and
Those who was with him
Satanism spreads through humanity but his days are getting over.
Man will lament his blasphemies in adoring in heaven the son of God
Because the way of life of men is who decide his way
Dark or light what will be your destiny
8) Reject Darkness
4:44, lyrics:
To believer in the God's love is to comprehend
That only him can bring freedom
Cause all the destruction in your life
Comes from the lord of darkness
He is a murderer
Don't let him kill you
Fight
Black forces from hell hide the truth
To carry you to death without God
Cause this is the way to take you eternal life
Then there shall be weeping and gnash of teeth
There is an exit
Reject darkness
Fight
9) Eternal Salvation
10:04, lyrics:
For holy Christ I believe my life
Through his blood world was free
Bringing hope for those who seek for him
Without exceptions cause love is above everything
The biggest love prove that God has shown to mankind, A merciful act for people dept in demise, He did not care about his own suffering in any moment
And with his acts Jesus Christ showed the world the power of God
The powerful divinity teaching us a new way but people didn't believe that it's Messiah
What breaks my heart is the way they betrayed him. Because people who followed Christ screaming crucifix him
And they spanked my Lord
They nailed him in the cross
Tore their clothes and showed
His naked body
But God resurrected him
And at he is now at his side
Until he put his enemies
Under his feet
Christ left your pain
Because his image
Receiver Christ in your heart
Because salvation is him
You won't see destruction in your life
Because your life is protected
Receiver life, edify your home
Because there's protection in your life
We didn't love him but he loved us first
And men preferred death than glorifying the God's son
For men understand and withdraw the blindfold
And keep going in the promise of eternal life
The men of God began to move away and the sin began to come close
Going to his destiny walking in his own away
Because the divine and huge love gave his own son

These verses are mentioned in the layout:
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. (Romans 12:18-20, KJV)
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. (Colossians 1:12-14, KJV)
1) Divine Symphony - God's Wrath 6:25, see above for lyrics
1) Martyrs
8:09, lyrics:
While others worshiped other god, death, pain
Torture were the consequence for a believing
People that grew in number every day who faced
All everything to defend the teaching of a Christ resurrected!
Because Christ gave his own blood
To fulfill the prophecies written in the book of truth
And to save mankind
The Empire wanted to kill the ones who believed in him
For the more they were killed the more they lived
The more they were thrown into the prison the freer
They became and all that oppression
Because they proclaimed what they believed
Because Christ gave his own blood
To fulfill the prophecies written in the book of truth
And to save mankind
The Empire wanted to kill the ones who believed in him
Battles fought people oppressed lives taken away
The fear of rebellion against the empire
Was the reason for oppression of the Christians?
But nothing could restrain what was in their hearts
The death is just the way for me to meet the father
The trials were very hard fear dominated many
Christians lives was an unsure thing because becoming a
Christians was synonymous to living in the
Spirit but dying in the body
Because Christ gave his own blood
To fulfill the prophecies written in the book of truth
And to save mankind
The Empire wanted to kill the ones who believed in him
Is better avoid the sins than flee of death
Is today you aren't prepared, how you'll be in the future?
The one isn't right, how'll know that'll live until there?
The death is just the way for me to meet the father
Many fighters heard the Holy Ghost and refused
Because their were afraid of dying
But the one who resist to the end'll be delivered
There's no reason to be separated from God
2) Giants
5:59, lyrics:
A time marked by the end of the persecutions that
Honored many men and women and went beyond the limits
Of all human possibilities putting history in favor
Of the saints that the lord Jesus Christ set up on Earth
These giants aren't to be worshiped but
Respect as brother and sisters for the
Contribution they've made and for being
Examples of life and by their profession, profession of faith
We believe in the almighty God, creator of all things
And in the Lord Jesus Christ, the son of God
The only begotten of the father, God of God, light of light,
He being of the same substance and essence of God
The giants have fought against all the heresies that have existed
Such as Arian theories which went against the Nicene creed
We believe that by him all things were made, including all of the things
In the heavens as well as those on Earth, who for us and our salvation,
Came down from Heaven in the flesh, arose from the dead on the third day
And will return to judge the living and the dead
Everybody tried to stifle the Christians' faith
Because nobody wants to change their evil lives
But none of these can thwart God's plans for humanity
For God chose the lowly people of the world
And the people that are despised and the people who are nothing
So that he can put to shame the ones who are
In this way, these true Christians' battles in the Lord
Has made them as giants because their faith was like fire
And that with their lives or with their deaths these giants
Supported God's mission on Earth without any fear
These giants were Christ's soldiers, brave men that walked
In the truth way they were approved to God by great their faith.
We believe in the almighty God, creator of all things
And in the Lord Jesus Christ, the son of God
The only begotten of the father, God of God, light of light,
He being of the same substance and essence of God
3) Darkness
6:06, lyrics:
Wars, genocide, apostasy - each have marked chaotic period through which the church has passed. The Roman Empire was conquered by barbarians and once more time the church suffered.
However difficult these time were, there wasn't a lack of Christians with convictions who offered their life in response to the necessities of the time.
Darkness (I won't fear you)
Darkness (I won't fear you)
What could be done in such a situation? The papacy was in decadence theological disputes caused division within the church.
The house was divided, who could resist?
Lives were being taken during by the horrors of war, who could defeat those who again brought the ghost of paganism?
Darkness (I won't fear you)
Darkness (I won't fear you)
Although, many didn't comprehend the true promise of God, the barbarians who succeeded in conquering the power of the empire.
The people which sat in darkness saw great light and many of the barbarians' nations were conquered to the light that it got off the sky in man's form.
From an obscure corner of the world arose an avalanche called Islam propelled and let their mark because order by the Koran, they must conquer the world in Allah's name
The Muslims invaded many countries of the Roman Empire, and the Christian churches only suffered the impact of the Muslim advance.
Darkness (I won't fear you)
Darkness (I won't fear you)
4) High Ideals
6:24, lyrics:
The dream has risen to Heaven,
Christianity's been strengthened by God,
And the revival (reform) desired by all had begun,
The monasteries came to senses
And the will to fight was in them again,
The will to worship was strong again in their hearts.
High ideals
High ideals
The spark of the holy spirit was kindled in Cluny, Criteaux
And the other monks
At the papacy there was a refreshing of the spirit
Because the Lord God aroused the conscience of all for the great revival (reform).
High ideals
High ideals
What would the priests do if they suffered these things, these things?
Every day a parade, a banquet on the table not prepared
For the poor the but for dirty guests while the poor
To whom it really belongs aren't allowed to enter and die of starvation.
God has summoned wise men to his high ideals and show the true unity
Of the long suffering with to objective of worshiping God
Which keeps the firm in the face of all these
Challenges and the love grew between those followers of his word
High ideals
High ideals
What would the priests do if they suffered these things, these things?
Every day a parade, a banquet on the table not prepared, not prepared
For the poor the but for dirty guests while the poor
To whom it really belongs aren't allowed to enter and die of starvation.
And so many barbarians and pagans came to know Divine love and find salvation
For the Lord's will be that no one should perish, but that all should come to repentance
But it won't be so easy to keep up such high
Ideals for the church
Of Christ without dealing with the barriers they faced
We die today... all spill blood sows the ideals of a church...
Our story will not be told
Like the emperors but we'll be remembered as the servants of the truth.
5) Frustrered Dreams
4:03, lyrics:
What can be done when hope disappears like mist in the sunrise?
What can be done when all of our convictions succumb to our desires?
The Holy Spirit has taken over the brave hearts that I don't fear
Death challenge Hell and its ideas,
The church of the Lord will never bow to human wickedness
Because our God is with us in this battle
The era of high ideals has passed,
The purity of the gospel has been substituted by a religion
Of the rites and sacraments that granted a magical salvation,
And for this reason the power that ruled the world has been shamed
The Holy Spirit has taken over the brave hearts that I don't fear
Death challenge Hell and its ideas,
The church of the Lord will never bow to human wickedness
Because our God is with us in this battle
Many fighters rose against the wickedness
The clergy corrupted by their self-interest responded with the inquisition
Prophesying their own condemnation
The Holy Spirit has taken over the brave hearts that I don't fear
Death challenge Hell and its ideas,
The church of the Lord will never bow to human wickedness
Because our God is with us in this battle
6) Reform
8:14, lyrics:
The age that took the humanity to know to God and their purposes
The time in that the men approached their creator
Again man had let himself be taken over by his desires
And will, faith was forgotten by many, giving space to evil
The age of reform
Those that were to teach and guide the people in the
Way to salvation were drowning in their riches;
Forgetting the great promise
The Salvation, supreme gift from God
Had become a corrupted message
In the hands of wolves, an instrument to make them richer.
A time of anguish, tears and ignorance, but also a
Time when brave men opposed all the heresies
Of the Roman church
Lies and false doctrines
Indulgences that was nothing more than a way for the
Roman church to exploit the people.
Taking advantage
Of their belief, squandering in luxury, resources
Acquired from the poor.
A time of anguish, tears and ignorance, but also a
Time when brave men opposed all the heresies
Of the Roman church
The age of reform
The Roman church only brought suffering for the people who
Were faithful to the divine truth, all of the tears that flowed
From the faces of the innocent
Were because of their false teaching that didn't make leaves of the will of God
A time of anguish, tears and ignorance, but also a
Time when brave men opposed all the heresies
Of the Roman church
And like this thanks to will God the saint church won one more obstacle
Caused by the mankind ambition
7) Conquerors
5:09, lyrics:
New worlds to conquer, colonize and evangelize, with those ideas, adventurous and missionaries left bound for an unknown land, taming oceans and seas in search of a new world.
And after a long journey, a dream came true, to before them is a great land inhabited by people of a different culture and religion and the only intention their was to speak about Christ
Conquer like this those warriors of God were called
That renounced their own lives to show the love of God
For the people that didn't know, didn't know him
Although many conquest have been a great bath of blood,
And Christ it was blamed by those actions, some of the servant
Of God gave everything of itself to help the ones that would be the new children of the faith
Conquer like this those warriors of God were called
That renounced their own lives to show the love of God
For the people that didn't know, didn't know him
In the middle of all injustice of the time, that heroes who speak the message of the kingdom of God
Conquerors
8) Dogmas and Doubts
5:53, lyrics:
Why impose the divine truth through dogmas?
Isn't easier to reject religious rules and seek a more tolerant and deeper way,
A more Christian way to serve God than through fanaticism?
Dogmas and doubt, dogmas and doubt
Even with the so dreamed of revival within the church, mankind exchanged
Faith once again for doubt becoming even stricter, colder
Dogmas and orthodoxy had taken the place of faith and charity love
Dogmas and doubt, dogmas and doubt
Cruelty and horrors done for dogmatic motives,
And all of this become to one religious conclusion
Doubts corrupted the peace of spirit of Christ's church, the dogmas brought
Conflicts and many were forcibly converted
Contrary to the gospel of Christ, the fruit of the ignorance of mankind who didn't know about true Christianity
Dogmas and doubt, dogmas and doubt
Cruelty and horrors done for dogmatic motives,
And all of this because of one religious conclusion
9) New Horizons
5:59, lyrics:
For a long time, there were people seasoned in warfare
According to their convictions, who spread, the message of the kingdom
Of God to the four corners of the world, for many years there were battles
For righteousness and there was one faith so great
Mortal begins that became living proof of whom is times of darkness
And facing frustrated dreams of a time the church could contemplate
They so dreamed of reform and conquer horizons never imagined before by men.
These great men motivated by the brave acts of those before them
Saw in their time new horizons so dreamed of by their predecessors
After years of highs and lows, from great tribulation to light
Opening a way through the darkness to make it clear to the unbelieving eyes of humanity
Mortal begins that became living proof of whom is times of darkness
And facing frustrated dreams of a time the church could contemplate
They so dreamed of reform and conquer horizons never imagined before by men.
We press forward with our eyes on high, in the direction of the great prize of salvation in Jesus Christ, our Lord
Fighting for the love of souls is what we'll do to take the word
Of salvation to those that never had the chance to hear it
And how shall they hear if nobody speaks to them?
We are here, oh Lord above, to take your salvation's word.
Mortal begins that became living proof of whom is times of darkness
And facing frustrated dreams of a time the church could contemplate
They so dreamed of reform and conquer horizons never imagined before by men.
10) Unfinished Era
6:35, lyrics:
To live for Christ and for the Gospel, that's the promise made by many who say they are faithful to God, even though their own consciences don't show them to be so and how they shame the Holy Word of the Divine Lamb that sacrificed Himself for humanity.
Through all history of humanity... God has shown His love... but man has chosen the death.
These people, as their own master said, are like graves that are beautiful on the outside, and all that beauty hides a great rottenness on the inside. Leaders that say they see the truth but still allow corruption to enter the churches.
Through all history of humanity... God has shown His love... but man has chosen the death.
On that day they will say, "Lord above, we prophesied in your name, and spoke in other languages," and God will say to them,
"Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire."
Lies and false promises deceive God's people and make them do things that God hasn't asked them to do, illusions that hide all the divine truth and are only the signs predicted by Christ to precede His coming, prepare yourself.
Through all history of humanity... God has shown His love... but man has chosen, the death.

These giants were Christ's soldiers, brave men that walked
In the truth way they were approved to God by great their faith.
We believe in the almighty God, creator of all things
And in the Lord Jesus Christ, the son of God
The only begotten of the father, God of God, light of light,
He being of the same substance and essence of God
3) Darkness
6:06, lyrics:
Wars, genocide, apostasy - each have marked chaotic period through which the church has passed. The Roman Empire was conquered by barbarians and once more time the church suffered.
However difficult these time were, there wasn't a lack of Christians with convictions who offered their life in response to the necessities of the time.
Darkness (I won't fear you)
Darkness (I won't fear you)
What could be done in such a situation? The papacy was in decadence theological disputes caused division within the church.
The house was divided, who could resist?
Lives were being taken during by the horrors of war, who could defeat those who again brought the ghost of paganism?
Darkness (I won't fear you)
Darkness (I won't fear you)
Although, many didn't comprehend the true promise of God, the barbarians who succeeded in conquering the power of the empire.
The people which sat in darkness saw great light and many of the barbarians' nations were conquered to the light that it got off the sky in man's form.
From an obscure corner of the world arose an avalanche called Islam propelled and let their mark because order by the Koran, they must conquer the world in Allah's name
The Muslims invaded many countries of the Roman Empire, and the Christian churches only suffered the impact of the Muslim advance.
Darkness (I won't fear you)
Darkness (I won't fear you)
4) High Ideals
6:24, lyrics:
The dream has risen to Heaven,
Christianity's been strengthened by God,
And the revival (reform) desired by all had begun,
The monasteries came to senses
And the will to fight was in them again,
The will to worship was strong again in their hearts.
High ideals
High ideals
The spark of the holy spirit was kindled in Cluny, Criteaux
And the other monks
At the papacy there was a refreshing of the spirit
Because the Lord God aroused the conscience of all for the great revival (reform).
High ideals
High ideals
What would the priests do if they suffered these things, these things?
Every day a parade, a banquet on the table not prepared
For the poor the but for dirty guests while the poor
To whom it really belongs aren't allowed to enter and die of starvation.
God has summoned wise men to his high ideals and show the true unity
Of the long suffering with to objective of worshiping God
Which keeps the firm in the face of all these
Challenges and the love grew between those followers of his word
High ideals
High ideals
What would the priests do if they suffered these things, these things?
Every day a parade, a banquet on the table not prepared, not prepared
For the poor the but for dirty guests while the poor
To whom it really belongs aren't allowed to enter and die of starvation.
And so many barbarians and pagans came to know Divine love and find salvation
For the Lord's will be that no one should perish, but that all should come to repentance
But it won't be so easy to keep up such high
Ideals for the church
Of Christ without dealing with the barriers they faced
We die today... all spill blood sows the ideals of a church...
Our story will not be told
Like the emperors but we'll be remembered as the servants of the truth.
5) Frustrered Dreams
4:03, lyrics:
What can be done when hope disappears like mist in the sunrise?
What can be done when all of our convictions succumb to our desires?
The Holy Spirit has taken over the brave hearts that I don't fear
Death challenge Hell and its ideas,
The church of the Lord will never bow to human wickedness
Because our God is with us in this battle
The era of high ideals has passed,
The purity of the gospel has been substituted by a religion
Of the rites and sacraments that granted a magical salvation,
And for this reason the power that ruled the world has been shamed
The Holy Spirit has taken over the brave hearts that I don't fear
Death challenge Hell and its ideas,
The church of the Lord will never bow to human wickedness
Because our God is with us in this battle
Many fighters rose against the wickedness
The clergy corrupted by their self-interest responded with the inquisition
Prophesying their own condemnation
The Holy Spirit has taken over the brave hearts that I don't fear
Death challenge Hell and its ideas,
The church of the Lord will never bow to human wickedness
Because our God is with us in this battle
6) Reform
8:14, lyrics:
The age that took the humanity to know to God and their purposes
The time in that the men approached their creator
Again man had let himself be taken over by his desires
And will, faith was forgotten by many, giving space to evil
The age of reform
Those that were to teach and guide the people in the
Way to salvation were drowning in their riches;
Forgetting the great promise
The Salvation, supreme gift from God
Had become a corrupted message
In the hands of wolves, an instrument to make them richer.
A time of anguish, tears and ignorance, but also a
Time when brave men opposed all the heresies
Of the Roman church
Lies and false doctrines
Indulgences that was nothing more than a way for the
Roman church to exploit the people.
Taking advantage
Of their belief, squandering in luxury, resources
Acquired from the poor.
A time of anguish, tears and ignorance, but also a
Time when brave men opposed all the heresies
Of the Roman church
The age of reform
The Roman church only brought suffering for the people who
Were faithful to the divine truth, all of the tears that flowed
From the faces of the innocent
Were because of their false teaching that didn't make leaves of the will of God
A time of anguish, tears and ignorance, but also a
Time when brave men opposed all the heresies
Of the Roman church
And like this thanks to will God the saint church won one more obstacle
Caused by the mankind ambition
7) Conquerors
5:09, lyrics:
New worlds to conquer, colonize and evangelize, with those ideas, adventurous and missionaries left bound for an unknown land, taming oceans and seas in search of a new world.
And after a long journey, a dream came true, to before them is a great land inhabited by people of a different culture and religion and the only intention their was to speak about Christ
Conquer like this those warriors of God were called
That renounced their own lives to show the love of God
For the people that didn't know, didn't know him
Although many conquest have been a great bath of blood,
And Christ it was blamed by those actions, some of the servant
Of God gave everything of itself to help the ones that would be the new children of the faith
Conquer like this those warriors of God were called
That renounced their own lives to show the love of God
For the people that didn't know, didn't know him
In the middle of all injustice of the time, that heroes who speak the message of the kingdom of God
Conquerors
8) Dogmas and Doubts
5:53, lyrics:
Why impose the divine truth through dogmas?
Isn't easier to reject religious rules and seek a more tolerant and deeper way,
A more Christian way to serve God than through fanaticism?
Dogmas and doubt, dogmas and doubt
Even with the so dreamed of revival within the church, mankind exchanged
Faith once again for doubt becoming even stricter, colder
Dogmas and orthodoxy had taken the place of faith and charity love
Dogmas and doubt, dogmas and doubt
Cruelty and horrors done for dogmatic motives,
And all of this become to one religious conclusion
Doubts corrupted the peace of spirit of Christ's church, the dogmas brought
Conflicts and many were forcibly converted
Contrary to the gospel of Christ, the fruit of the ignorance of mankind who didn't know about true Christianity
Dogmas and doubt, dogmas and doubt
Cruelty and horrors done for dogmatic motives,
And all of this because of one religious conclusion
9) New Horizons
5:59, lyrics:
For a long time, there were people seasoned in warfare
According to their convictions, who spread, the message of the kingdom
Of God to the four corners of the world, for many years there were battles
For righteousness and there was one faith so great
Mortal begins that became living proof of whom is times of darkness
And facing frustrated dreams of a time the church could contemplate
They so dreamed of reform and conquer horizons never imagined before by men.
These great men motivated by the brave acts of those before them
Saw in their time new horizons so dreamed of by their predecessors
After years of highs and lows, from great tribulation to light
Opening a way through the darkness to make it clear to the unbelieving eyes of humanity
Mortal begins that became living proof of whom is times of darkness
And facing frustrated dreams of a time the church could contemplate
They so dreamed of reform and conquer horizons never imagined before by men.
We press forward with our eyes on high, in the direction of the great prize of salvation in Jesus Christ, our Lord
Fighting for the love of souls is what we'll do to take the word
Of salvation to those that never had the chance to hear it
And how shall they hear if nobody speaks to them?
We are here, oh Lord above, to take your salvation's word.
Mortal begins that became living proof of whom is times of darkness
And facing frustrated dreams of a time the church could contemplate
They so dreamed of reform and conquer horizons never imagined before by men.
10) Unfinished Era
6:35, lyrics:
To live for Christ and for the Gospel, that's the promise made by many who say they are faithful to God, even though their own consciences don't show them to be so and how they shame the Holy Word of the Divine Lamb that sacrificed Himself for humanity.
Through all history of humanity... God has shown His love... but man has chosen the death.
These people, as their own master said, are like graves that are beautiful on the outside, and all that beauty hides a great rottenness on the inside. Leaders that say they see the truth but still allow corruption to enter the churches.
Through all history of humanity... God has shown His love... but man has chosen the death.
On that day they will say, "Lord above, we prophesied in your name, and spoke in other languages," and God will say to them,
"Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire."
Lies and false promises deceive God's people and make them do things that God hasn't asked them to do, illusions that hide all the divine truth and are only the signs predicted by Christ to precede His coming, prepare yourself.
Through all history of humanity... God has shown His love... but man has chosen, the death.
