My Declaration (Single)
My Declaration
I’m tired of wasting time and soul away
I’ll put my faith in who created me
They’re all watching and they need to see
A light unto the world, the man I need to be
I wanna lead courageously, leave a legacy
I wanna surrender myself
Faith awakening, live for eternity
I’ll stand with no ovation
This is my declaration
This is my declaration
I’m not afraid to face all I have done
And I’m not perfect, but a child of the Son
Gonna face my demons, for I know that they will come
They’ll hear me screaming, “The end of you has come!”
I wanna lead courageously, leave a legacy
I wanna surrender myself
Faith awakening, live for eternity
I’ll stand with no ovation
This is my declaration
This is my declaration
When the enemy comes I will not rest
When the enemy comes I’ll be ready with the light in the darkness
When the enemy comes I will not rest
When the enemy comes I’ll be ready with the light in the darkness
When the enemy comes I will not rest
When the enemy comes I’ll be ready with the light in the darkness
I wanna lead courageously, leave a legacy
I wanna surrender myself
Faith awakening, live for eternity
I’ll stand with no ovation
I wanna lead courageously, leave a legacy
I wanna surrender myself
Faith awakening, live for eternity
I’ll stand with no ovation
This is my declaration
This is my declaration
Sabotage EP
To War
Soon I will meet my greatest enemy, it knows me well
Here it comes to steal all of my hopes and dreams and cast a spell
We move to war
Push us back in the dark until they say we can be free again
Now the powers that be have formed a line
We’re marching out to meet them (We’re off to war)
Can love still save the souls of men?
Here comes the storm too late to turn away, it knows me well
This dark traitor knows much more than just my name, our kingdom fell
We move to war
Push us back in the dark until they say we can be free again
Now the powers that be have formed a line
We’re marching out to meet them (We’re off to war)
Can love still save the souls of men?
Lightning breaks the shroud, death can’t hold me
Hear me scream out loud, you won’t control me
We march to war…
Push us back in the dark until they say we can be free again
Now the powers that be have formed a line
We’re marching out to meet them (We’re off to war)
Can love still save the souls of men?
Scarecrow
Fear of the world inside you and all the things that could be
Your mind is the devil’s playground, let him roam so free
Afraid you’ll get too close now and he might make his move
Tell yourself go back now, his eye’s fixed on you
It’s just a mask, hollow as glass
No hold on you, it’s inside you
And what you fear’s only a mirror
Staring at you, creeping up on you
You’ve been running from a scarecrow in your mind
Blind to what’s been hunting you
Scarecrow in disguise
It’s distracting you, tear it down
Tear it down…
Always seems so frightening, never know what might be
You never know who’s watching, lose your sanity
Loving what can’t save you, and your heart has fooled you
Dancing to the prelude, the demise of you
It’s just a mask, hollow as glass
No hold on you, it’s inside you
And what you fear’s only a mirror
Staring at you, creeping up on you
You’ve been running from a scarecrow in your mind
Blind to what’s been hunting you
Scarecrow in disguise
It’s distracting you, tear it down
Tear it down…
Serpents whisper solace as the venom paralyzes
The scarecrow froze my vision as the slayer remained hidden
Wake and arise, take back your life and wipe the sleep from your eyes
You’ve been running from a scarecrow in your mind
Blind to what’s been hunting you
Scarecrow in disguise
It’s distracting you, tear it down
Tear it down…
Alive
I’m down here in this cavern, a dark and lonely place
I’m shouting here on bended knee with the echoes screaming in my face
Can you hear me? Lord, can you hear me? Hello?
It’s so cold in here I can see my fear
Abducted by my enemy anger, a victim of my own war, I don’t love you anymore
In the darkness we all look the same
I’m so alone but hear someone calling my name
I was dying till I heard your name
Lying in a pool of my shame
Poisoned through my veins
You broke through my night, blinded me with your light
My lungs just want to scream it
For the first time, I’m alive
I’m hiding from this fear that dances, I’ve ruined all my second chances
Oh there’s so much more to me
And a hero will come rescue me, I can hear the bell toll for me
A prisoner enduring the lashes, but I hold the key, as if ashes
Oh I did this on my own
So I’ll forgive and I’ll be reborn
And I’ll live for, I want to live for something more
I was dying till I heard your name
Lying in a pool of my shame
Poisoned through my veins
You broke through my night, blinded me with your light
My lungs just want to scream it
For the first time, I’m alive
You broke through my night
Scales fell from my eyes
I’m not who I was, no longer calloused
We are the change, we are the light
Love will save us all, don’t give up the fight
I was dying till I heard your name
Lying in a pool of my shame
Poisoned through my veins
You broke through my night, blinded me with your light
My lungs just want to scream it
For the first time, I’m alive
Sabotage
Strung up on these chains I’ve wasted time and soul away
I won’t obey you, overtake you, and make my escape
But I feel your eyes on me, you won’t take over me
Freeing my weakening eyes, this beautiful mirage
Watch as your walls start to fall, this is a sabotage
What are you living for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you dying for?
How long must we dream? And this life is not what it seems…
It only takes one life to change this world
Who will save us?
Breaking from delusions and the lies that swallowed you
Piercing flesh and darkness, now you finally see the truth
But I feel your eyes on me, you won’t take over me
Freeing my weakening eyes, this beautiful mirage
Watch as your walls start to fall, this is a sabotage
What are you living for?
What are you fighting for?
What are you dying for?
How long must we dream? And this life is not what it seems…
How long must we dream? And this life is not what it seems…
It only takes one life to change this world
Who will save us?
I severed your strings, O, you’ll bow you puppet master
No longer will we be bound by the enemy
No longer will I let venom inside of me
I won’t live another day in your mirage
The tide has turned, this is a sabotage
Beautiful Scars (In Memory Of Braxton Kooser)
I thought we had more time, we were never afraid
We were so blind, before these sorrows came
I would give anything to say one last time how much you meant to me
I’d say I’d do it again lying on these stones
But it doesn’t hurt any less in my bones
Scars for you, so beautiful, I’ve set aside a part of my heart
I’ll see you soon again, I’ll dream of you till then
Where shadows can’t find us anymore
Paradise seems so close, but I have so far to go
A light to all those, now with tears, they know
Just a silhouette to remember you, and your last words to me
I know you’re truly alive in the souls you awoke
A rose blooming in winter’s cloak
Scars for you, so beautiful, I’ve set aside a part of my heart
I’ll see you soon again, I’ll dream of you till then
Where shadows can’t find us anymore
O, can you wake me from this dream of frailty, sorrow can be so cruel
Grief can’t enslave me, it’s not gonna break me, my God will sustain me
The same God that blessed me with you
Scars for you, so beautiful, we’re stronger now because of you
On streets of gold you’ll run, our tears rest in the Son
Where shadows can’t find us anymore
Within My Reach
Venom
One last time you’ll take me
One last time I’m giving into you
Sick inside you make me
Seep into my veins & I’m drowning
Sinking you pull me down
Still I run this sick cycle for you
One more time I can’t breathe without you
You’re my sweet seductive noise
One more time I can’t live without you
You’re my sweet seductive voice
And you’re the venom of my choice
One last time you’ll take him
One last time he’s giving into you
Black inside you made him
Laid into the ground now he’s silent
Too late to turn back now
No one soothes our fragile minds like you
You can’t have me anymore
You can’t have me cause
I’ve thrown the key away
I’ve found another way
Cause I was too weak to stand on my own
I crawled back to you I was all alone
You’re my intoxicating demise
I’m sick & tired of all your lies
One more time I’m going to breathe without you
You’re just ashes amongst the noise
One more time I’m going to live without you
I’ve been given eternal voice
And you’re nothing without my choice
30 Silver Coins
These 30 silver coins they’re staring back at me
They won’t let me sleep their betrayal runs deep
In the black is where he called your name
Oh what have you done?
Your knife runs deep into his back
You heart is the one consumed in the black
You’re my puppet & I will pull the strings
Decay is the song that you’re life sings
You looked into my eyes & it was done
Can you see what a monster I’ve become?
How could I have betrayed the ones I loved?
What have I done?
With these whispered words I sealed our fate
I’m drowning in my lies
You can’t save me learn from me
It’s to blame my hypocrisy
I kissed your face fell from grace
The devil’s gaze whas the puppet’s strings
I have your blood on my hands
Don’t have regret on your hands
This silver burned me
The Raven
Solemnly pacing through the meadow’s eve
Your eyes appear sullen he shouted carefully
For he was not alone not the only breath to be seen
A raven in audience holding court in the judge’s seat
“My boy whatever do you mean?”
The boy said “You no longer rule in my veins as you’ve fashioned
And I bind you in the Name of the One who bore my lashings
Too long you’ve haunted my dreams so frail
Raven you’re no longer welcome to watch me fail
So I say…”
Nevermore will your lies destroy my heart
Nevermore will you tear my life apart
Nevermore will you leave me with these scars
Nevermore
She’s a scavenger holding to empty valor
A princess of lies where the shadows invite prowlers
It’s not been like this always
Writhing in constant shame
Tears where the dirt has claimed
Lost in her prayers for rain
Her life was a dance away from pain
Somber cries can’t drown the judgement in this ally’s eyes
An imposter perched high the raven calls into sorrow’s pride
“Too long you’ve haunted my dreams so frail
Raven you’re no longer welcome to watch me fail”
Scarlet Hands
I hear your hollow heart your hollow words
Feed this frantic need never slow down
You have believed in lies
Given up on me as they slowly feed on your mind
I’ll take your coldest night
The scarlet on your hands forever mine
I’ve loved you all of your life
I promise I will never leave your side
Forever without you I’d rather die
I see your anger bleed slowly killing me
Shades of who we used to be
I am the breath of life
The morning light
I can hear you screaming for life
Slow down your breathing
Your crown is crumbling
Angels and demons
In darkness lies treason
Glory runs through our veins
Heaven’s a heartbeat away
Shadows cannot hold us
The trump will resound victorious
Dream Of War
Run away going nowhere but something’s out there
Light of day still surviving but slowly dying
Who will come for me?
When the darkness comes to take what’s left of me
Who will fight for me?
Believe me we’re at war, see, there’s the open door
My monster’s been set free
Heroes come but they’re not ready & I’m not waiting
Heroes go did what you had to I survived you
Separate, my guilt has made me
And you can’t save me
Hesitate, it’s gaining on me
Someone wake me from this nightmare
Who will come for me?
When the darkness comes to take what’s left of me
Who will fight for me?
Believe me we’re war, see, there’s the open door
My monster’s been set free
Searching for some feeling
Can you tell me what I’m dreaming
Can’t shake this darkness in me
Can you take this nightmare from me?
