1) Empty Soul (Intro)
00:55, lyrics unknown
2) Master of Lies
4:16, lyrics:
How long will hypocrisy
live in your heart?
You let your pride
And your arrogance guide your path
Will them stop putting heavy burdens, judging with injustice their mistakes, and without pity throwing them in the fire
You look more to the wealthy
And you judge as you please
You do good for people to notice
Manipulating life for your ideals
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean." (Matthew 23:27)
3) Dark Veil
4:04, lyrics:
Where do you knit this dark veil oh night. How do you create that frozen
it is the night as it makes appear where you passes.
Why do you borrow the lonely footprints in the sand and hide the tracks of those who wander
Where do you hide the dying man that walks lost in his failures, living on his bitter moments of sorrow and covered with pain
Dark humid morbid night.
What do you hide behind this dark veil
What mystery do you keep until the dawn? Another life have place in this mystery.
When the daily life seems foolishness, the day is not pleasant anymore. And so the night becomes a lifestyle. Maybe the only way to hide your failures.
Diving in this frozen dark covering
And waiting for it to vanish
With the sun rays
4) Dark Night
4:11, lyrics:
Cold wind in a dark night
Smell of death that exhale in darkness
Obscure way that you walk
Trying to overcome fear and miseries from the heart
An abyss for your soul that covers your body
An open wound creating a void
Imprisoning people in nightmares,
Those were once true dreams
A dark sin that confines your life
And enslaves your body
At unsociable banquets of death and pain
That brings even more emptiness
A blind pathway
Blind by your own ego
You walk to your own death.
5) Deadly Dreams
4:02, lyrics:
Darkness appear in front of the moon
The night seems to be alive
Weeping and gnashing of teeth can be heard as a choir
Announcing decadent chaos and the end of hope
People wandering without life,
Illuminated by the dim light of hope,
That follows them into empty paths
And in the moments that the flesh is weak
As they walk feeling that breeze blowing,
Cooling fresh tears that make their face wet
They run, guided by fear, traveling in deadly dreams
Deceiving themselves just for a moment
While they stay stuck in the cold floor of misery,
They try to run away from the light that reveals their failures
6) Eternal Lord
5:43, lyrics:
Your grace gives me strength everyday
In Your rock I found true love
My lips want to praise You...
For Your infinite love
I want to live
I kneel in front of You
Sovereign and faithful God
Cause I know that my life depends on Your grace
As everything in this world
Belongs to You...
Guide me in the justice path
So I can battle in Your holy name
For Your honor and glory
Oh my Lord
Put me in battles for Your name
Use me as a divine instrument
It doesn't matter the price I need to pay
I trust in You, my Lord
I depend on Your grace, my God
God of glory and love
I won't be silent, even in my last hour
My lips want to worship You, Sovereign Lord
Above all things
Wear me with the justice armor
Armor me with the sword that is Your Word
I want to live in Your light
I don't mind if I don't see where I step
The Lord will guide me
And if I get stuck
He will carry me on
This fire that doesn't hurt
Inflamates my soul
Fills my spirit
This is Love
That is going to liberate you
In Your name, oh God,
Amen!
Your grace gives me strength everyday
In Your rock I found true love
My lips want to praise You...
For Your infinite love
I want to live
I kneel in front of You
Sovereign and faithful God
7) Lord of War
4:18, lyrics:
Lord of war
Give me Your power
Your consolation, Your forgiveness
Protect me in disgrace
Guide me on defeat
Give me Your power
Lord the battle that I fight
Is bloody and violent
Full of hate
Lord of war
Give me Your power
Take me away from the anger
From all the envy
Lord of war
Lead my life
And in the battle
Your name will be praised
Lord of war
8) Battle Mind
3:07, lyrics:
Search and find in your mind
Seek, not finding salvation
Keep walking the same path
Always lost, without direction
'Cause in battles blood is shed
Cleansing all your sins
Giving life through death
Only Your sacrifice set us free
In the battlefields, soldiers are not warriors
They're cowards without purpose or reason
Stand and raise your cursed swords
They fight for blood and treason
A war is not won with self-interest
We found victory in His sacrifice
Our path can still be dark
However His death on a cross suffice.
9) Thorns
3:47, lyrics:
Raised his hands when all was lost
Looked to the sky
While all of them pushed him to the ground
See the beauty of the life between chaos and shame
Took care of the other's wound while him
was killing himself
Believed in the fallen
Healed the wounds
Even hung on the cross
Hurt and bleeding
Forgiven the sins
Show us the example of life
Walked the way
And showed the way out
Gave up himself and saved a lot
Even abandoned and nailed
Made us free from death
And gave us the way
Gave us salvation
With resurrection
