Wisdom II
04:06
|
|||
And, all the while
The wisdom that grants discernment
Is crying aloud, she is never silent
There she stands
By the public way,
Where the roads meet,
Close beside the gates, making proclamation
To every man, high and low
Her voice calls:
O foolish hearts, take warning here
Listen to me
A tongue that speaks truth
Lips that scorn impiety
Here all is sound doctrine
Here is counsel
Here is instruction
Better worth than
Silver or finest gold
Wisdom is more to be coveted
More than any jewel
More than any earthly beauty
Wisdom cries out
Wisdom cries out
Wisdom cries

Enter the Baptist
02:00
|

I'm about to change my mind, listen
Crazy, lazy, ladled gravy
Victim eyes, Logos hazy
Trace me, erase me
Turn the world around to face me
A trice vice get a master ready
Love you, wed me, end me
Bleed me out, got my soul steady
Painted lady, taint me, aint me
Spoken true, through and through
Calling out in my prayers for you
Debt slave, new state, clean slate
Trainer train me,
Save me, shame me, change me
Frame me, tame me
Repent and change your mind
Repent and change your mind

Make Straight The Way
04:17
|
|||
I see the shadows
In the way you act
I see the pain
In the way you attack
Holy men standing
At the precipice
Hoping that the word
Will come back
When will we see you again
Looking for a guide
Which they can never find
The end of days
Have been rolling by
As the blind lead the blind
To the pit
Blaspheming life
For the evil one
He will never quit
When will we see you again
Heresy and lies
An unwise disguise
For the discerning eye of God
Has joined us inside
Our temple of time
When will we see you
In rivers of blood
Babylon floods
For her rejection
Of the holy one
In rivers of blood
Babylon floods
For her rejection
Of the holy one
Make straight the way he's arrived
The Christ has come to the dark side
The lamb of God who takes away
The sins of the world
Make straight the way he's arrived
The Christ has come to the dark side
The lamb of God who takes away
The sins of the world
I have read these holy books
Old foundations destroyed
Old hopes are restored
Silent desires revivified
Mastery of self in sight
And the world lying
At my feet
Crucified by the dark side
Crucified by the dark side
Crucified by the dark side
Yet he's alive
Ancient Babylon never died
The wicked serpent
Keeps the lie alive
Ancient Babylon never died
The wicked serpent
Keeps the lie alive
Crucified by the dark side
Crucified by the dark side
Crucified by the dark side
Yet he's alive
Yet he's alive
He's alive
Yet he's alive

The Death of Vanity
04:36
|
|||
All I've ever been
Is a common man
I've never had delusions
Oh so grand
Satan keep thy hand from me
You stand condemned
By the Lord of all eternity
Lord of Vanity
The light of Christ
Has come to conquer thee
Lord of Vanity
The light of Christ
Has come to conquer thee
No longer tuned to the serpent song
The war's been waged on thee all along
A saint I will gladly be
And aid the Lord who's ransomed me
Lord of Vanity
The light of Christ
Has conquered thee
Lord of Vanity
The light of Christ
Has conquered thee
How could such a servant sing a sacred song
I've been aided by the prayers of his holy ones all along
The Lord's prepared a life for me
Your works they all are futility
Lord of Vanity
The light of Christ
Has conquered thee
Lord of Vanity
The light of Christ
Has conquered thee
Lord of Vanity

Metanoia IV
03:34
|
|||
I have come to my own conclusion here
I've decided that I'm going to love
With the rest of my time here
I have come to my own conclusion here
I've decided that I'm going to love
With the rest of my time here
I have come to my own conclusion here
I will do what's right I won't live in fear
Repent, Peter said to them
And be baptized, every one of you
In the name of Jesus Christ
To have your sins forgiven
Then you will receive the gift
Of the Holy Spirit
Tongues of fire fell
Uniting all of us
Tongues of fire fell
Uniting all of us
Tongues of fire fell
Uniting all of us
Tongues of fire fell
Uniting all of us
Metanoia, metanoia, metanoia
Metanoia, metanoia
This promise is for you and for your children
And for all those, however far away
Whom the Lord our God calls to himself.
Save yourselves
From this false-minded generation.

Exile of St. John
06:16
|
|||
Just another day in exile
Ill used and misinterpreted
Despised and covered in lies
Just another day in exile
In the land they make
In the service of the Lord
Is my stake
Dreaded visions
The world in division
Just another day in exile
Just another day in exile
Exile him, exile him
Exile him, exile him
Exile him, exile him
Exile him, exile him
I, John, your brother
Who share your ill-usage
Your royal dignity
And your endurance in Christ Jesus
Was set down on the island called Patmos
For love of God’s word and of the truth concerning Jesus
And there, on the Lord’s day
I fell into a trance, and heard behind me a voice
So I turned, to see what voice it was
That was speaking to me

Apokalypse I
07:56
|
|||
Then a vision came to me
I saw a door in heaven standing open
And the same voice
Which I had heard speaking to me before
Loud as the call of a trumpet, said to me
Come up to my side
And all at once I was in a trance
And saw where a throne stood in heaven
And one sat there enthroned.
He who sat there bore
The semblance of a jewel
Jasper or sardius
And there was a rainbow
About the throne
Like a vision of emerald.
Round it were twenty-four seats
And on these sat twenty-four elders
Clothed in white garments
With crowns of gold on their heads
Lightnings came out from the throne
And mutterings, and thunders
And before it burned seven lamps
Which are the seven spirits of God
Facing it was a whole sea of glass, like crystal
And in the midst, where the throne was
Round the throne itself, were four living figures
That had eyes everywhere to see
Before them and behind them.
The first figure was that of a lion
The second that of an ox
The third had a man’s look
And the fourth was that of an eagle in flight
Each of the four figures had six wings
With eyes everywhere looking outwards and inwards
Day and night they cried unceasingly
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God
And now I saw that he who sat on the throne
Carried in his right hand a scroll...
Then, in my vision
The Lamb broke open
One of the seven seals
And with that I heard one of the
Four living figures say, in a voice like thunder
Come and look
So I looked, and saw there a white horse
Whose rider carried a bow
A crown was given him
And he rode out victorious
And to win victory
And when he broke the second seal
I heard the second figure say
Come and look
And a second horse came out, fiery-red
Whose rider was empowered to
Take away all peace from the world
Bidding men slay one another
And a great sword was given to him.
And when he broke the third seal
I heard the third figure say
Come and look
So I looked, and saw there a black horse
Whose rider carried in his hand a pair of scales
I thought, too, I heard a voice
That came from where the living figures were
A silver piece, it said, for a quart of wheat
A silver piece for three quarts of barley
But do the wine and the oil no hurt
And when he broke the fourth seal
I heard the voice of the fourth living figure say
Come and look
So I looked, and saw there a cream-white horse
Its rider was called Death
And Hell went at his bridle-rein
He was allowed to have his way
With all the four quarters of the world
Killing men by the sword, by famine
By plague, and through wild beasts
That roam the earth
And when he broke the fifth seal
I saw there, beneath the altar
The souls of all who had been slain
For love of God’s word
And of the truth they held
Crying out with a loud voice
Sovereign Lord, the holy, the true
How long now before thou wilt sit in judgement
And exact vengeance for our blood
From all those who dwell on earth
Whereupon a white robe was given
To each of them, and they were bidden
To take their rest a little while longer
Until their number had been made up
By those others, their brethren and fellow servants
Who were to die as they had died
Then, in my vision, he broke the sixth seal
And with that there was a great earthquake
And the sun grew dark as sackcloth
And the whole moon blood-red
The stars of heaven fell to earth
Like unripe fruit shaken from a fig-tree
When a high wind rocks it
The sky folded up like a scroll
And disappeared
No mountain, no island
But was removed from its place
The kings of the world with their noblemen
And their captains, men of wealth and of strength
All alike, slaves and free men
Took shelter in caves and rock-fastnesses
Among the hills
Fall on us, they said to the hills
And the rocks, and hide us from
The presence of him who sits on the throne
And from the vengeance of the Lamb
Which of us can stand his ground
Now that the great day
The day of their vengeance, has come
Then he broke open the seventh seal; and
For about half an hour
There was silence in heaven

Apokalypse II
10:19
|
|||
Tornado in the soul
The circle comes around
Is there nowhere we can go
The demons have all been bound
Tornado in their minds
As these idols get pulled down
To loosen sinners binds
Mercy the Lord's renown
Tornado in the hearts
Of all these men you've made
The Devil's progress in their arts
In exchange for fruitless graves
Tornado in the word
Venom in the blood
A sword brought by narrow path
From old root a sprouted bud
And I'm praying for mercy again
With eyes that see
Their evil ways
A mans been made to stand
Accused and stranded, stranded
To be pinned upon a cross
And be forsaken
And abandoned
By this Necropolis
Then I saw a new heaven
And a new earth
The old heaven
The old earth had vanished
And there was no more sea
And I, John, saw in my vision
That holy city which is
The new Jerusalem
Being sent down by God from heaven
All clothed in readiness
Like a bride who has adorned herself
To meet her husband
I heard, too, a voice which cried
Aloud from the throne
Here is God’s tabernacle
Pitched among men
He will dwell with them
And they will be his own people
And he will be among them
Their own God.
He will wipe away every tear
From their eyes
And there will be no more death
Or mourning, or cries of distress
No more sorrow
Those old things have passed away
And he who sat on the throne said
Behold, I make all things new

Hail Mary full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou
Hail Mary full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou
Amongst women
And blessed is the fruit
Of thy womb Jesus
Holy Mary
Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death
