Walls by Jaylon Ashaun

Released October 17, 2015

Walls is a song that was created from observing human nature. I have come to realize that as people we put up Walls to mask our pain. We want everyone to think that we are always doing "good" or "fine". We do not want people to see the real us. So as a result, we invest in keeping people out. We develop patterns to avoid tough conversations and flee from dealing with the issues in our lives that have caused us pain. Unfortunately, keeping people out can end up being the most damaging thing we can do to ourselves. There is freedom in letting people in who sincerely want to help you. Don't be afraid to break down your "Walls".


(Verse 1)
You think you know me and I know you, but you can only see what I show you. I know from the outside I look real good, everything seems ok. But I know on the inside I feel misunderstood, so hear me when I say that...

(Pre-Chorus)
I've been hurt for so long and I don't want to cry no more.
I see you trying to get in, but sorry I locked the door.

(Chorus)
Brick by brick, I'll build my castle now.
Around my heart, my walls aren't crashing down.
So bring on the war, fire your cannon rounds.
Brick by brick, my walls aren't falling.

(Verse 2)
I know on the outside I look real good to you, but I wonder if you know what I'm going through. Do you?

(Pre-Chorus)
I've been hurt for so long and I don't want to cry no more.
I see you trying to get in, but sorry I locked the door.

(Chorus)
Brick by brick, I'll build my castle now.
Around my heart, my walls aren't crashing down.
So bring on the war, fire your cannon rounds.
Brick by brick, my walls aren't falling.

(Bridge)
I want you to see inside my...Please don't look inside my heart.
You don't have to hide. You don't have to hide no more.
Open up inside. You don't have to hide no more.

(Final Chorus)
Bring on the war, fire your cannon rounds.
Brick by brick, my walls aren't falling down.
Brick by brick, my walls aren't falling.

My Identity by Jaylon Ashaun

Released May 14, 2015

My Identity - Lyrics

Track 1. Who Am I​?​

Track 2. Searching

I've been looking for my identity lately. Can somebody tell me who I am?
I've been looking for my identity lately. Can somebody show me who I am?

Do You Know?

I've been looking for my identity lately. Can somebody tell me who I am?
I've been looking for why. What's the reason he made me?
I'm just tryna gather who I am.

I've been searching, tryna find my worth.
I've been searching, for why I'm on this earth.

So do you know?
Do you know?
Do you know who you are?
I've been looking for my identity lately. Can somebody tell me who I am?
I've been looking for my identity lately. Can somebody show me who I am?

Do You Know?

I've been looking for my identity lately. Can somebody tell me who I am?
I've been looking for why. What's the reason he made me?
I'm just tryna gather who I am.

I've been searching, tryna find my worth.
I've been searching, for why I'm on this earth.

So do you know?
Do you know?
Do you know who you are?
I've been looking for my identity lately. Can somebody tell me who I am?
I've been looking for my identity lately. Can somebody show me who I am?

Do You Know?

I've been looking for my identity lately. Can somebody tell me who I am?
I've been looking for why. What's the reason he made me?
I'm just tryna gather who I am.

I've been searching, tryna find my worth.
I've been searching, for why I'm on this earth.

So do you know?
Do you know?
Do you know who you are?

Track 3. Love Me

Verse 1:

I wish I could communicate the eleven thousand reasons that this bitterness has stored up in my heart. But I don't need to explain, now I'm in a different season and I'm just happy that we made it this far. Cause heartbreak preys upon my joy again, and heartache fights against my smile, these heart pains come out when the crowd is not around.

Pre-Chorus 1:
How do I love again? How do I trust again? When everyone around only seems to let me down? How do I hope again? How do I dream again? Can you hear me now? As my heart shouts...

Chorus:

Its singing love me, love me like you never did. Its singing love me, show me that I'm meant to live. I know we've tried and some things just don't end right, but I still hope that you love me, love me. I'll be fine...

Pre-Chorus 2:
Teach me to love again. Teach me to trust again. When everyone around only seems to let me down. Teach me to hope again. I will believe again. Can you hear me now as my heart shouts.

(Repeat Chorus)

Vamp:

Everybody's singing, love me, love me, love me. We're all on a quest for true love. I won't stop searching, no I ain't giving up. Everybody's singing, love me, love me, love me. We're all on a quest for true love. So please don't stop searching, cause I ain't giving up, I ain't giving up.

Track 4. Call Me Back (Pt. 1)

Track 5. Caught Up (Feat. Alana Lanette)

Verse 1:

(Jaylon)
Oh I was taken by surprise, like waves dancing in the glow of the sunrise.
Oh I'm hooked, I'm sinking deeper. Drifted away, but I don't want to leave. No no, thought I was here to stay.

(Alana)
Oh I lived in misery for so long. Pain turned this heart to stone.
Oh I couldn't believe you pursued me, pushed passed my walls and taught me to trust again.

Chorus:
I'm caught up, caught up in your love.
I can't get enough, oh your love for me.
(Repeat)

Verse 2:

(Jaylon)
This is it everything that I've been looking for my entire life, I finally found the meaning of love.

(Alana)
Like a bird I'm caught up in the sky. This love can't come from a girl or a guy.

Vamp:

Oh I'm caught up in your love, caught up in your love. It's overtaking, overtake me.

Overtaken it's amazing and I'm caught up. I'm excited that you're mine and that I'm caught up.

Track 6. Nowhere

Verse 1:

You said you'd always be right here in front of me,
lately I'm not sure you're there.
Misery loves to make me his company,
tell me do you even care.
Do you see what I'm going through?
Or am I alone in this fight.
My God tell me where have you been?
Then He said, "I've been right here by your side and I ain't going nowhere."

Chorus:
I ain't going nowhere.

Verse 2:

You said I'd always be right here in front of you.
I said I'd always be near.
So why do you run when the enemy comes for you?
Why don't you trust that I'm here?
I've noticed your eyes lately,
tears seem to drown out your sight.
My child tell me where have you been?
Cause I've been right here by your side and I ain't going nowhere.

Chorus 2 tag:
When you're scared and you just want to cry know that I'll be right here by your side. When you're lost and you feel like no one cares, know that I will always be there.

Vamp:
I am God. Wherever you go, there will I find you. Wherever you run, you're never too far from my rescue. You can always come back home. You will never be alone. I am here, and I ain't going nowhere.

Track 7. Call Me Back (Pt. 2)

Track 8. My Everything.

Verse 1:

Your smile brightens up my day.
Your voice puts my soul at peace.
You remind me that it will always be ok.
You give me faith to believe.

Your life is an encouragement to everyone around you.
Your life helps me to be all I can be.
& I'm eternally grateful, because without you there's no me.

Chorus:

It was you who helped me climb the mountains,
helped me cross those streams.
And I only soar so high because you helped me find my wings.
I know I've come this far, but you still push me to my dreams.
You are, you are, my everything.

Verse 2:

Your words help me to press on when it's hard.
Your love is healing all of these scars.
Your faith helps me to dream beyond the stars.
Without you, what would I do?

Your life encompasses everything that's great about this world.
Your light shines for all the world to see.
& I'm eternally grateful, because without you there's no me.

Vamp:

I'm amazed at all the places that I've been and seen,
and I'm grateful for the friendships that I made.
As I continue to travel along this road of dreams,
I'll never forget that you helped paved the way.

Track 9. Lead the Crowd

Verse 1:

I was born in a lone star city,
but my father was never at home.
Statistics say that I shouldn't be nothing,
well, I guess some facts are wrong.

I was raised by a really good family,
and my grand papa taught me what's right.
He said, "Boy you gonna be somebody"
well, papa you was right.

Chorus:

Mama said it's gonna get better.
Auntie said just don't lose your smile.
Pastor said just look up to Heaven.
Cause one day you'll Lead the Crowd

Verse 2:

Grandma always said, "Boy you look real sharp"
Mentors taught me to love like Jesus did.
This world told me to give because life's just too hard
well, I told the world it's harder to quit.

Vamp:
You will lead it. One day you will lead the crowd.

I won't let this world define me.

I'm Just A FoolbyDread Champion

Released November 28, 2014


I've been writing this mixtape for over two years now. There are many songs that didn't make it on here, because I picked what I thought best explained my life during these times.

The title came out of a motto that I have had since high school, "I used to be a damned fool, but thanks to the grace of God, now I'm just a fool." My belief is that there is no such thing as a good person, or at least a sinless one, so it's no pride issue for me to be called a fool. I am. I mess up all the time, but I'd rather admit it and work on it than deny what's so obviously true. My hope lies not in my own wisdom, but in the saving grace I've found in Jesus Christ.

Hopefully you will connect with the man that exists in these songs, and hopefully you will enjoy the music as well. Thank you for listening!

Life On A One WaybyDread Champion

Released April 1, 2012


[Chorus]

I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where You lead
I knew what I wanted
But somehow it got away from me
I'm hoping on a one day
But I can't see through the now
But that's life on a one-way
And I can't seem to sit here and figure this out

[Verse 1]

My microphone's just been waiting in my room
Hoping, wishing, and praying to be used soon
I feel similar- nothing in particular
That I'd like to discuss with you, outside the curricular
I'd like to keep that on the inside
Ahh, but since I got nothing else in me to write
I feel like I'm walking down the wrong street
Found the wrong address, out in the strong heat
Scavenger birds follow me, waiting to swallow me
Well, eat me up! Leave a hollow me!
Leave me nothing, leave me an empty shell
Don't even leave a single, solitary cell
Disappear me, or listen and hear me
Mystery theory- damn my tongue, speak clearly
Call me away, or please be near me
Take me away, or at least be near me

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

Locked out. Bogged down.
Can't get my mind free of the false sound
Call me individual- call me too spiritual
Call me an animal, vegetable, or mineral
Tell me I'm too revolved around the inner fool
Tell me I'm a sinner and I do as all the sinners do
Call me by my name- it ain't too pivotal
Standing by my grave, realizing the critical
Realizing the pitiful; lies to our little ones
Lives to the crumbs, with frozen eyes and a fickle tongue
Cut it out, before it leads you to the slaughter
Renew the mind and it'll lead you to the Father,
Bleed through to the daughters, seize sons that are hardened,
Seize hearts that are paused and revisualize the target
Revitalize the fight. See the right path
And finally get to see all those that are on it.

[Chorus] x2

♛    I  AM     ✝

I  AM

Uh, I’m serving the I Am, the one who is eternal and determines my time span
My time is in His hands, I’m a man so I can’t
Say I have existed before knowing existence I’m insisting
God isn't me but He is He who is infinite
Made all we could see, Man He conceived in His wisdom
From inanimate, animals, Adam adamantly
To His madam He created to praise rooted in He
This case rooted in me, nah its found in a book
You could get a better look as your reading the Pentateuch
See the bush see Moses
When all seems hopeless, the walls keep closing
God’s word be spoken
Ah, fast forward see His image
The incarnate was given a mission to live perfectly consistent
Spoke words that may seem odd
But when Christ says I AM, He's saying He's God
(He's God!)


I’m serving the I AM, that I AM
Before Abraham was, Yes the I AM
The Bride Groom of the church or the God-Man
The true ruler of earth is the I AM (x2)


Verse 2 : Shai Linne

When God says I AM, think self-existent
He needs no help, cause listen He's self-sufficient
The only autonomous being in the universe
No fruit of thirst and everything is truly first
And actually His not in the universe
He's beyond the universe
It's His space and time to disperse
Go far as back as you could possibly go
Before the Big Bang, the I Am was stopping the show,yo
And man made visuals could never display the mystical
Nature of the physical created from the invisible....
You might need to get checked in the belview
If you think that if God was hungry, He would tell you
You take aim at His reign, you have to go
He remains the same and He doesn't change like the status quo
John 8:24, hear the God-man Saying you will die in your sin if you don’t believe I AM


I’m inviting you to come and take a bite brothers
See the Bread of Life, eat take a bite from Him
Show reverence to the Good Shepherd
Whose acute method is to save, here is a strude message
A true meshing of the True Vine
The only way to the true God, others fall astray leaving fools blind
The truth lies no its bait, see imbued minds
We sheep going through the gate that’s the true sign
That we know the resurrection and life
The light of this world he came, showed strength and his might
This message is plain as Jane get the letters precise
These are the I AM sayings show definite hype
We know a Saviour whose God, died but He risen
Look at Him through the prism of the word He has given
The one who submitted is God though
I'm serving the Son with trinitarian control, the chorus go…

CIRCA 1993bySean C. Johnson

Released March 10, 2015

SIDE A – Past

1. Mountains
2. Nothing But A ‘G’ Thang
3. Melodies (From Heaven)
4. Redemption Song ft. Armond Wakeup & Adam L.
5. Never Knew Him

SIDE B – Present

6. Mirror
7. No Flex Zone (Re-Imagined)
8. Made of Love (Charity)
9. Final Frontier

BONUS TRACK – Magic & Kareem


SIDE A is set in 1993 and touches on dealing with the death of my mother (“Mountains”), falling in love with music and exploring my musical tastes (“Nothing But A ‘G’ Thang” & “Melodies”), and hearing the gospel for the first time (“Redemption Song” & “Never Knew Him”)

SIDE B, If Side A is the “Cause”, Side B is the “Effect” and is set in the present. It explores me being aware of the many sins in my life (including Pornography) and shows me maturing, growing, and walking out my faith (“Mirror” & “No Flex Zone”). It also shows how pornography has warped my view of love now that I’m in a relationship (“Made of Love”). And lastly the album concludes with me accepting my call to make God honoring music (“Final Frontier”)

BONUS TRACK – This song shows where I’m at currently as an independent artist and vents some of my frustrations.


When I was kid I loved reading comic books. The issues I enjoyed the most were the ones that told a heroes origin story. This album is my “origin story”. While I’m no hero, I do have a story to tell and my story was shaped by four events that all happened…in 1993.:

* Death of my mother.
* Falling in love with music.
* Viewing pornographic material for the first time.
* Giving my life to Christ.


Each song on the album will be told through the lens of these four events and give listeners a peak into what shaped me.


An R&B take on the summer smash "No Flex Zone". This version tells the story of someone trying to leave a life of crime, but no matter where he goes he still sees remnants of his old life.

Lyrics

Verse 1:

I been working these 3 jobs for so long, trying to pay me rent…keep the lights on
Faded numbers on the bathroom stall…I hate this place, but anyway
I been working all day, still in a daze, still some work for me to do, think it’s time for job two
Step outside and see them D-Boys rolling, stunting with their egos swollen, on the radio I hear

Chorus:

No Flex Zone, No Flex Zone, They Know Better
No Flex Zone, No Flex Zone, They Know Better

Verse 2:

Can’t go back to the life I used to live, come too far to want to turn back now
Furthermore I don’t want to see the Pen, nothing else to talk about
I been slaving all day, still in a daze, still some work for me to do, think it’s time for job two
Step outside and see them D-Boys rolling, stunting with their egos swollen, on the radio I hear

Chorus:

No Flex Zone, No Flex Zone, They Know Better
No Flex Zone, No Flex Zone, They Know Better

Bridge:

4,5,6,7 chains on…Eastside looking like a Slave home
Aint got money for the Cell Phone…Want to still front for the Video?
Can’t you hear him knocking? Open up, let him in!
I turn on the radio I hear

Chorus:

No Flex Zone, No Flex Zone, They Know Better
No Flex Zone, No Flex Zone, They Know Better

Following a narrative from the morning of Creation of Genesis, to the echoing words of Isaiah in the temple courts, the blindness of the Pharisees, the healing restoration of Jesus, and the table set for a wedding feast in Revelation, Shavat invites the listener to experience the Sabbath.

Shavat presents Sabbath as not as an exclusive experience for Jews or certain Christians, but an invitation to all mankind from God. It speaks of God’s will for human beings as being one of rest, revival, holistic restoration and trust in his care. And it all begins when we remembering who He is.

SHEMA EPbyNatalie Simon née Kendel

Released January 10, 2014

SHEMA by author and Christian songwriter, Natalie Kendel.
6 songs selected from the album.

SHEMA serves as a dynamic musical storytelling of the book of Exodus, following the journey of an enslaved people and their struggle for and with freedom. Songs move through various genres, with stirring melodies and profound lyrics - a product of exegetical study/

Employing Hebrew text, and electric imagery, Natalie Kendel challenges the conventional definition of slavery and freedom, delving into a deeper problem: a problem where hearts long back to the ‘old’ and the ‘safe’, no matter how awful that old state may be. The story, not only of the freeing of an enslaved people, but their grappling with learning how to love and live true freedom.

Through The Mistby Salt Of The Sound

Released September 16, 2014

Through The Mist is the new EP from husband and wife duo Anita & Ben Tatlow (Salt Of The Sound). Their 2013 debut album Journeys was regarded by reviewers as an “unquestionably strong first album” (Cross Rhythms) and “5/5” (CMAddict), and subsequent single It Must Be Hope was described as “evocative and beautiful” (JesusWired).

Through The Mist continues the unique blend of electronic synths, subtle vocal harmonies, and thoughtful lyrical messages that the duo have become known for, while incorporating a greater focus on organic sounds and evolving atmospheres.

The concept and inspiration behind the new EP comes from a verse in 1 Corinthians:

We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!

Vials of Wrath - Lyrics

Days Without Names - Lyrics

Released September 8, 2015

"The songs on Days Without Names are black metal hymns written through the vessel of nature. Within the solitude of the wilderness, DC Mills has become a conduit through which nature speaks of infinity. The infinite beauty bestowed upon it by its Maker and Creator. The woods are a church without walls constructed long before humankind walked the earth. And Days Without Names holds the voices of the choir of that church."

“Solace, understanding, progression, and communion—the essence of such terms musically grace your ears and palpitate your soul… Indefinitely, for fans of Agalloch, Drudkh, Woods of Desolation, Thy Light, Blaze of Sorrow, Elderwind, Váli, and Antestor!”

Nokternal Hemizphear Records

"Once again Vials of Wrath have delivered an album that has the feel to it that it is more than just a collection of songs. The album is a journey through darkened forests and internal struggles set to haunting melodies and driving black metal in lush arrangements."

9.5/10 – The Metal Resource

"Vials of Wrath distances themselves in the genre, doing a great job of creating an experience to send you into another world. As you listen along, you can feel how the band draws inspiration from nature."

HM Magazine 

Track 1. That Which I've Beheld

Instrumental

Track 2. Journey Beyond The Flesh

To journey beyond the confines of this flesh
In communion with another
I wander neath a canopy of oak and pine

The allure of an October eve
Sees me tread amongst fallen leaves
My sorrows are lifted in the presence of the Divine

Let this feeling never cease
Tranquility and peace
In the forest will I be found

When death’s cold hand takes mine
May it be in such a time
Make my grave upon the highest mount

Track 3. Revival Of The Embers

This glacial apathy
I must overcome
This fleshly desire
I am undone
This calloused heart beats now
But for how long?
To the dilemma of another
It hastens to numb

As smoldering embers weaken
A faith not fanned doth wane
Dying amongst the ashes
I must revive the flame
This earthen vessel
A dwelling place for the most high
Flawed and unworthy
Made pure by fiery trial

I offer myself once again
Yahweh-M'Kaddesh
You are welcome here

Track 4. Burning Autumn Leaves (Under A Harvest Moon)

As I stand here burning leaves
The aroma of autumn
Distinct and full of memories
Cold yet warming, like hidden sin
‘Tis death approaching
A season’s end
Grey skies and long nights
The beginning of decay
Green turns to gold
But it will not stay

Under a harvest moon
An omen looms
From fervent prayer
A discerning guide
A spirit of light
May all who hear beware

Servants of twilight
There is a coming dawn
There the vultures will gather
There death will new life spawn

As the earth grows cold
And all its hues fade
Memories of our future
Are revived once again

At the end of an age
Harvesting wheat
Burning the tares

Track 5. The Path Less Oft Tread

In time I will be forgotten
Forsaken, forlorn
By even those closest
From enemy and friend torn

As I choose a path
The one less oft tread
I fear I dire end waiting
Was all for naught if nowhere lead

I am overcome with sorrow
Life’s elusive meaning I seek
A journey that leaves me failing
Destitute and weak

So in pressing in onward
I envision Heaven’s open gate
With hell always at my heels
I pray the better of two fates

Let me now falter nor stumble
Grant me strength on this day
With each victory to remain humble
And each failure boldly pray

Track 6. Silhouettes Against The Sun

Instrumental

Track 7. A Cleansing Prayer

I long to be where no shadows dwell
All darkness is vanquished
And my spirit is well
At this summit of stone and oak that impales
Transfixing my mind upon self, upon self
My purpose
My pain
My loss
My gain
Ne’er more than what is today
Purge me, Adonai, of desire and lust
Less of me, more of thee
May all my glory be thine
Empty me of self… of self

"If you like black metal, if you like atmospheric music, both beautiful and cruel, if you crave something that sweeps you away—this is for you." (4.5/5 stars)

HM Magazine

"This is haunting black metal, the echoes of solitude rather than the chilly hate of misanthropy. If you're in the mood for that, you're not gonna find much better in recent times than Seeking Refuge." (4/5)

"The overall atmosphere is somewhat dark and foreboding but somehow comforting at the same time. There is hope in the darkness." (8/10)

Track 1. A Greater Calling

I am a grain of sand
Swept with tides of unknown shores
You are the ocean mighty
Full of life both great and small
I am a single fading light
In the cold night sky
You are the bright morning star
Shining bright for all to see
I am a lone drop of rain
Falling and quickly forgotten
You are the cleansing flood
Who takes away all untrue
I long to be so much more…
More of what you are
I am nothing without you
For you are the great I am

Track 2. To Walk Upon The Heights

I hear and my insides tremble
My lips quiver at the sound
Rottenness enters my bones
I tremble while I stand
As I await the day of distress
To come against those who attack us
I will rejoice in the Lord
Rejoice in the God of my deliverance
The Lord God is my strength
He will set my feet like the deer
He will let me walk upon the heights

Track 3. Contemplating Creation

Instrumental

Track 4. The Beginning Of Sorrows

In the passing of the eternal
What stands the test of time?
All of your possessions will burn
Everything rusts, dies, decays

All this world can offer is trivial
Meaningless unto the grave
To put away treasures here on earth
Is useless at the end of days

Can you not see the signs?
Can you not feel the pain?
This world as we know it is dying
The only escape: be born again

I will seek refuge in the woods
To be alone to pray
Just as the Christ, who often withdrew
Unto the mountains
Beside the streams
Into the forest
Among the trees
In His creation I find peace
And pray

Track 5. In Sackcloth And Ashes

Instrumental

Track 6. Alone In The Wilderness

Night falls and I am alone
With my thoughts, my failures
The harsh reality of wood and stone
Revives my spirit again
The solitude of God's creation
Brings peace, cleanses my sins

To be alone, in the wilderness
Brings a freedom to pray
All around, branches, like hands
Offer up their praise
And with each gust of wind
They bow to the King of Grace

A fire within me burns
And grows each passing moment
I must do more with this life, this gift of being
Beneath infinite stars I ponder the eternal
And know I'm never truly alone

Father, here I am
Please forgive me
I pray you welcome me home

Let There Be Light - Lyrics

Released July 23, 2013

Track 1. Cold Contempt

God, do you feel anger? Remorse? Regret?
When you look down on your creation?
Snakes that resemble men dwell among your children. And they feed. And they breed.

Serpents feeling comfort
There should be cold contempt
Blind to their lies, we embrace them.
We embrace them...

Accustomed to their presence, seeking less of yours, solace in prayer slowly fades.
Broken is Nehushtan, shattered as should be. Deliver us from the evil we condone.

I will send venomous snakes among you. Vipers that cannot be charmed.
And they will bite... they will bite you.

Track 2. From The Dead An Army Risen

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and I was carried out in spirit, and He set me in the midst of a valley which was full of bones.

And I passed them round about; there were many so very dry. He asked me, ‘Can these bones live? Upon them now prophesy.”

From the dead an army risen.
The breath of life enter you.
Creating flesh, ye shall live!
And all will know I am the Lord!

I prophesied as commanded. There was a noise, behold they shake. The bones then came together. Skin covered, but no breath they take. “Son of Man,” he commanded me, “Prophesy unto the wind. From the four corners, breath into these slain so that they shall live.”

So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived. They stood upon their feet. It was an exceedingly great army from the dead.

Track 3. Rise

Rise! A war has been declared! Arise now and choose your side.
Fall! Down on your knees! Our triumph comes from prayer.

Our struggle is not against the flesh and blood, but principalities of darkness.
Rise! A war has been declared! To win we must be sanctified.

Take upon you armor so you may withstand evil; holy armor of God, and having done all to stand, guard within you truth, righteousness and peace. A shield of faith will protect from fiery slings; helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, to attack and defend against that which is unseen.

A call to arms! Rise up and defend. A call to arms goes out to all men.

Arise! A war has been declared.
Arise! Arise and choose your side.

Track 4. Every Knee Shall Bow

Who are you to judge my service? To our own master will stand and fall. And I will stand, even when I’m weak, for the Lord strengthens me when I call.

Receive the one who is weak and struggles with their faith.
They may not see each day as holy, for giving praise.
No one lives just to himself, and no one dies the same. In life and death we are the Lords, and glorify His name.

To this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, to be the Lord of the dead and the living.

For it is written, as I live: every knee shall bow before me, and every tongue confess, that I am God.

Receive the one who is weak and struggles with their faith.
They may not see each day as holy, for giving praise.
No one lives just to himself, and no one dies the same. In life and death we are the Lords, and glorify His name.

To this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, to be the Lord of the dead and the living.

For it is written, as I live: every knee shall bow before me, and every tongue confess, that I am God.

Track 5. The Shadow Of Death

In the void of despair, fear grips me without warning. When my faith is weak, it takes hold.
Alone in my thoughts, like death, voices of doubt rise to take hold, leave me cold.

Crying out in desperation
In the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for you are with me
I will fear no evil, for you are with me

There’s darkness closing in
Yet whom shall I fear?
The Lord is my light and salvation!

Alone in my thoughts, like death, voices of doubt rise to take hold, leave me cold.

Crying out in desperation
In the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for you are with me
I will fear no evil, for you are with me

Track 6. Our Final Mourning
