Goliath

INTRO
I am the Giant
I crush all in my path
My army’s invincible
And I live for the attack.
I am Goliath
I am empowered by Hell
When all is eerie and silent
My harpy screams
your death knell.
VERSE 1
Shepherd David
Is my name
No strength nor might
Can I claim.
But my people,
Now must face
Philistine war
In this place.
VERSE 2
All our elders
Are afraid
But for righteous
Strength I’ve prayed.
Now I rise with
Stone and sling
Trusting power that
God will bring.
CHORUS
The power of God
Resides in me
You will see
No fear in me.
VERSE 3
I have come unto the battlefield
I have come to claim my prize
Today, young shepherd boy
Faith will be your demise!
You come to me
With sword and spear.
God’s kiss upon my brow—
I have no fear.
CHORUS
The power of God
Resides in me
He will have
The victory!
No matter how big you are
My God’s bigger than you!
Watch his head…
ROLL!!!

Break Free
04:10
|

|
VERSE 1
Caught in the quantifiable
Where everything is weighed
And pride that’s undeniable
Gets hidden in the shade.
PRE-CHORUS
He came for grace
He came for me
He came in love
To set me free.
CHORUS
Break
Break free and breathe
Break free and soar
Forgive and love.
Break
Break free and breathe
Break free and soar
Stop keeping score
VERSE 2
Bars of gold that line walls
Of houses made for prayer
Resound as mercy cries
When caught in man-made snare.
PRE-CHORUS

Earthshaker

|
CHORUS
Sail the Seas of Fright tonight
Be brave and strong and
full of might
Earth Shaker
Earth Shaker.
Rot the Shadows
within your mind
As a thousand points
of light we’ll shine
Earth Shaker
Earth Shaker.
BRIDGE
Quake foundations
Rock pillars down
Part dark oceans
And blare the warcry sound!
VERSE 1
The stars above in the sunless sky
Will never, ever understand why
They twitch, and shiver, and shudder, and writhe
Like a raving madman’s eye
This loneliness I feel…
This pain is much too real…
VERSE 2
The earth below is cold and deep
Like a heart that’s lost its feet
The lies upon the eyes do keep
The strongest live
inside the meek
This loneliness I feel…
This pain is much too real…
CHORUS

Mars
03:42

|
VERSE 1
Peace and tranquility
Are his sworn and
sovereign enemies!
Riding upon the wings of death,
He’ll plant his seed with
putrid breath!
What is humanity to a false idol?
VERSE 2
Violence can solve anything—
Peace by the sword or blight on the brain
“Knock, knock,”—hello,
who’s here?
And your reward is the
tip of a spear!
What is humanity to a false idol?
CHORUS
He is Mars, god of war
Worship him, you’ll live no more
He is Mars, a myth of yore
Bloodstained ghost who
haunts your door
He is Mars, the god of war…
BRIDGE
The strange misconception of the warmonger is one
of strength and power
However, this is a fallacy because on the inside
they’re all such cowards
“Slaves, they dance
so eagerly for me”
Mars, the Bringer of War.

Oh, Yeah!

VERSE 1
“Just tow the line and
you’ll be fine…”
That’s what you keep on pushin’
Don’t rock the boat for
hope it floats—
Peace is a river, yeah!
Well that’s not tact, just part of your act, now
It’s time you own up to me...
CHORUS
Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah!
VERSE 2
You seem surprised that
I’ve got eyes
I see what you’re doin’
You’re taken aback,
because I’ve attacked – yeah!
I’m not to be your
mushroom, baby!
The water’s changin’,
things rearrangin’
My will’s the stronger now…
CHORUS

Fade Away
05:00

|
VERSE 1
Love me before I fade away
Time is no more a friend to play.
CHORUS 1
Love is a fickle mistress who guards her tongue
Time’s a thief who devours the moon and sun
Life’s a cold, dead thing that
sings our songs
God’s nowhere to be found though I cry year-long.
VERSE 2
Life is too strong to lose the day
God’s in my heart
and he will stay.
CHORUS 2
Love is a fickle mistress who guards her tongue
Time’s a thief who devours the moon and sun
Life’s a cold, dead thing that
sings our songs
God is somewhere to be found, and I’ll quest evermore.
CHORUS 3
Love is a fickle mistress who guards her tongue
Time’s a thief who devours the moon and sun
Life’s a cold, dead thing that
sings our songs
God is right here to be found as I search my soul.

Risen
05:00
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
Man was made to
worship the Father,
The Beast to devour all the lost
To break free from this system
Is the sin they fear most.
PRE-CHORUS
If you’re alive
You’re never broken
For if you are broken,
You must be dead!
CHORUS
Risen is the Beast from tomorrow
Come to plague the men of today
The Son triumphs over sorrow
To light the path’s narrow way.
VERSE 2
In this cruel, fragile world
From the wage of pain
sins will be paid
If man sinks in debt and drowns
The Beast will have his way.
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

VERSE 1
Sold out by the Vortigern
We watch our people die
Fields ablaze as churches burn
The Saxon banners fly.
Then come days as black as night
We’re tortured in our homes
Hope has flown and not in sight
Until our savior comes.
From the humblest of us all
He frees the sword-in-stone
As the Dragon-star, it falls
He sits upon the throne.
The dragon’s red,
his horse is white,
He’s first upon the field
None can stand before his might
Our foes are forced to yield.
CHORUS
Ever burns the candle
in the darkness
Ever glows the halo
‘neath the deep
Faith is the eye through
which to see it
And the life of the dying man.
VERSE 2
Twelve battles bloodily,
We fight with iron will
None withstand our cavalry
Our enemies, we kill.
Then the Vortigern, he flees
And mocks us from his tower
Upon its stones, we lay a siege
And immolate the coward.
Gododdin in our hands
We thank Almighty God
King and Magi christen lands—
We build white Camelot.
Our golden age has now begun
To last a thousand years
Tournaments and maidens won
None have cause for tears.
CHORUS
