Eternal Genesis

On that fateful day the course of history was determined we would be
Lost in the moments that seem glamorous to us
Blinded by desires that bear no fruit
And raped of opportunity by the sins of our fellow man
The nature of our free will
The nature of the choices of man
The pitiful that blame the creator
The lost that reject self progression
The whores that live for their own selfish pleasures
The sinners like you and me
We fall into the same traps
The sinners like you and me
Everywhere you look
It will reveal itself to your eyes
As soon as you open them
Hallowed be thy name our almighty God
Protect us from the evil one whose work is never done
Breathe through us all mighty creator
Allow us to be your instrument
Let us be a pillar of the truth in this tainted world
Reveal these traps left to destroy us
So we may stop these recurring mistakes
By the grace of God we’re able to see
That this world will never fill us

Cracks
04:05
|
|||
|
In the darkness of my own mind
I can hear the calls of my mortal being
Tempting and pulling me down
What seems so shallow ends up being the deepest pit
I've ever fallen into
Pull me back to the surface
Constricted by what the flesh craves
Over and over again I face myself
With fear I may fall again
Sin etched into my past
The memories fade in and out
I've let myself go again
If only I could cut it out of me
If only I could live to see
A life without this bad fruit
It wraps around my chest
Convincing me that it will never leave
This is why I need you, Lord
I fall through the cracks and it feels like the end
The pain of my days lives on through the actions that should be stopped by myself
But I still put my fist through the walls of the places that I should feel okay
I'm sick of living in this box
The pain is recurring
You are my only way out
I look at my bloody hands
Another time that I have lost control
I look into my broken heart
I can't save myself from the darkness inside me
Your forgiveness is all I have
When I'm falling through the cracks
I am guilty
I am guilty of my sins
I am guilty of my sin
In the darkness of my own mind
I can hear the calls of my mortal being
Tempting and pulling me down
What seems so shallow ends up being the deepest pit
I've ever fallen into
When I’m falling through the cracks

Extraction
03:45
|

Take this away
I can't bear it any longer
These pieces of me
Lie broken in the hallways of my soul
Pick me up, oh Lord
Take this away from me
The pain that only grows deeper
As I repeat my sin
Over and over again
I put my foot down only stumble
Give me what I need to keep myself up
I put my foot down only to fall again
Over and over again
Give me the strength, oh Lord
Pull this darkened hollow parasite out of me
I have been preyed on for far too long
Separate my psychi from this flesh
I have been rotting for far too long
This has been festering for far too long
Extract this unholy beast from within me
I can't overcome this battle alone
Throw this piece of me into the bowels of Hell
Never to be seen again
Separate me from what temps my hand
I seek to be better than this
Over and over again
Throw this part of me into the depths of hell where it belongs
Take it all away
Over and over again
Extract this beast from within me
Over and over again

Medicated without understanding
Dose myself every morning just to please you
The haunting day to day cycle constricting my well-being
Forcing me to seek nonexistence
Plaguing my mind with thoughts of self destruction
The void of nothingness begins to surround me
As I take my last breath before I crumble
As my being disappears into my mind
I wish it all would just fade away
As I beg for a release from the effects of this poison
Sucked into a vacuum of lifelessness
I will never amount to anything
As I emerge
I see everything on the inside
I cry out to God for guidance
I’ve never been so lost
This recurring instance has infected everything
Stuck in a loop of constant turmoil
I have been robbed of my innocence
I knew no other way
By the grace of God I have escaped from the prison that held me down
I did so much for you
The Great Deficiency
I have decided for myself
I chose to live
I could see it all from the inside looking out
I was killing myself trying to meet the expectations everyone else had for me
And it was never worth it
I chose to walk away
I chose to live
The Great Deficiency
The Great Deficiency
I chose to live
I chose to live

The Fool
03:18
|
|||
|
Nothing more than a dying branch
You stay away from the truth to live in ignorance
You have lied to yourself for so long
You wonder where the agony comes from
Blame a God you don't believe is real
Criticize a people you know nothing about
What do you say when the judgment you cast into the world is redirected to yourself?
You are nothing more than a stumbling block infected with the ignorance
We did not create the divine
You are a disgrace
Cry out this is a worthless life
Only to become worthless
You are a disgrace
Cry out this is a worthless life
Only to become worthless
The only suffering you know is the suffering you have gladly invited into yourself
The knowledge you claim to have is all a lie
It must be dreadful to wake up after you've convinced yourself this is all for nothing
This is all for nothing
To dream of a world with no God
Is to dream of nothing at all
To dream of a world with no God
Is to dream of nothing at all
You abuse what gifts we have been given to see, to hear, to understand
A self servant to the flesh and nothing more
This is the fate you have chosen for yourself
This is the fate you have chosen for yourself
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall
How does it feel to live a life hating a God you don’t believe is real
How does it feel to believe your life is meaningless?
How does it feel to believe you're completely worthless
While living a life hating a God you don't believe in
living a life hating a God you don't believe in

So quick to take away what we consider precious
When they're done with us they'll be coming for you
So quick to take away what we consider precious
When they're done with us they'll be coming for you
The elite has become synonymous with with the fallen
What you consider love is a twisted lie
You leave no room for correction
What you consider moral is a fallacy
This is it
One by one
Loaded up
Into your prisons
This is it
One by one
Loaded up
Into your prisons
It's not so easy
To take a stand
When the weapon you created is used against you
Speech
Limited
Death
Evident
Work of the bringers of doom
With their eyes rolled back
Speech
Limited
Death
Evident
Work of the bringers of doom
With their eyes rolled back
Sentenced to the same fate
You chose for your victims
How does it feel to become exactly what you hate
The blood is on your hands
The blood is on your hands
The blood of a child will not save you
The blood of the innocent will not save you
The blood is on your hands
You subject our world to hate
You sentence our future to pain
This is it
One by one
Loaded up
Into your prisons
This is it
One by one
Loaded up
Into your prisons

Left To Judgement
03:35

The Jealousy, the vanity, the insecure lies
Your river of hatred will soon dry
The prosperity you could have known is now deceased
You refuse to see who you truly are
Until your ways blow up in your face
You can't ignore the signs any longer
Knocked down another peg
The truth reveals itself with time
No need to be hastily
You’re void of morality
You’ve made an example out of yourself
Run away, far away
Until the past catches up to you again
May God have mercy on your soul
Because everyone you ever knew will never see you the same again
You refuse to see who you truly are
Until your ways blow up in your face
You can't ignore the signs any longer
Knocked down another peg
You use your hands to defile the innocent
You use your mouth to lie about those you envy
You have betrayed all of your brothers
You have destroyed yourself all on your own
The Jealousy, the vanity, the insecure lies
Your river of hatred will soon dry
The prosperity you could have known is now deceased
It's over
Feel the pressure
You pushed on everyone else
You’ve been caught red handed
Left to judgment
Keep on running
Feel the pressure that you put on everybody else
Feel the pressure that you put on everybody else

Misapprehension
03:46
|
|||
|
We couldn't find you
Where did you go
We couldn't find you
Where did you go
Blockade guarding ignorance
Suffocating
Shaken by the word of God
Stumbling into non-existence
Grasping for a cause that enables apathy
Had you reaching for far too long
We were too late
To say goodbye a brother
Suffering festering bleeding
Apathetic to the whole meaning
Suffering festering bleeding
You didn't care
Suffering in this void
A hollow life isn't one worth leading
Apathetic to the whole meaning
Living in a place you wouldn't call a home
Living out of place you never knew a home
Was there no meaning?
Desperate for healing when everyday is a beating
I saw your face when you let in the demon
Eyes sunken into your checks
You convinced yourself that life isn't worth living
Suffering festering bleeding
Apathetic to the whole meaning
Suffering festering bleeding
You didn't care
We were too late
You threw away everything
Making deals with the devil
You threw it all away
Suffering in this void
A hollow life isn't one worth leading
Apathetic to the whole meaning
Living in a place you wouldn't call a home
Living out of place you never knew a home
Was there no meaning?
The sickness of insecurity caused you to lock yourself in a cage and threw away the key
The pain of failure still runs deep in me
You didn’t have to do it alone, but you didn’t want to understand
You didn’t have to leave so soon
As we looked up to the sky
You saw what was in my heart
It wasn't enough for you
To live out the rest of your days

Harbinger Of Disorder
03:31
|
|||
|
Is it ever enough
Just to be alive
Is it ever possible
To take a step back and see
What we have is more than we need
When your eyes tell lies
It's hard to see yourself for what you are
Value depleted
Another mistake
And it's on your fragile mind
Worth diminished
Another red mark on your soul
You have to live with it
Every sorrowful day
The weight begins to crush you
Will it all go away
Another bruise to the brain
Will it all go away
You can't live this way forever
So you try to change
But the results just dig you deeper and deeper
Everything is always in ruins
Every day
Every single day
Everything you see is stuck in your mind
X2
Obsessive disorder
Obsessed with release
Obsessed with more than you'll ever need
The saddest thing you will ever see
Is a person with potential giving up their soul with ease
And you have the weight of the world on your back
The weight of the world on you back
Until it's over
Until you die
Nothing is ever enough to fill the hole you've been digging your whole entire life
You're rotting from the inside out
Pretty on the outside
Dead on the inside
Take another look into the mirror
Drugs, makeup, vanity, greed
Look at how the poison follows the money
Blissfully murdering your conscience
Smile for the camera
Like it's an answer to your pain
Pose for the picture
Like it's the one thing that will save your life

In Plain Sight
03:54

Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance,
I have learned the secret of facing
Plenty and hunger, abundance and need
Plenty and hunger, abundance and need
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me
The struggles of life will not blind my faith
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me
The struggles of life will not blind my faith
He who strengthens me
Has made me whole
He who strengthens me
Has made me whole
Plenty and hunger, abundance and need
Plenty and hunger, abundance and need
Oh father, we ask of you to give the wounded peace of mind
So that another person will know the sanctity of having faith in you
Faith in you
Only you can make us whole
Only you can make us whole
Only you can make us whole
God

Confession
03:18
|
|||
|
You look down on everyone else
As if we're not equal in the eyes of the lord
Nowhere have I ever heard
We should be gatekeeping the love of God
Tainted with self righteousness
Always the first to point the finger
You cast the first stone every single time
Then you call me to be with you
How can I equate another man to Christ?
How can I pray to another man?
Where have we gone wrong?
Why do we get to change the rules?
Is your culture the only answer to the question?
It seems to me you're lost in time
The hollow answers mean nothing to me
Always dancing around the truth
Your demeanor is insulting
You want me to be blinded
So I fit into your picture-perfect idea of what a man should be
But I refuse to be senseless
I will not create a monster out of myself
This is my confession
I will not replace God with or for mankind
This is my confession
I believe there is only one God
There is no other worthy of my praise
No man will ever take the role of Jesus Christ
Lost in time
I'm not the enemy
Lost in time
I'm not the heretic
This is my confession
I will not replace God with or for mankind
This is my confession
I believe there is only one God
No other is worthy of my praise
No man will ever take the role of Jesus Christ
This is not what I thought you were

What was brought together by the Lord
Must be held together with love no matter the consequences
May the undying flame of his love shine on through our lives no matter the trials we are meant to face
I give my heart to you until death do us part
May the undying love of his flame shine on through our lives no matter the trials we are meant to face
