You may speak the tongues of men and angels
But you don’t have love
You may have the gift of knowing mysteries
It won’t set you free
Your faith can try to move mountains
Without love it’s nothing
Impatient, so unkind.
Your boasts hide your envy
Self seeking, and quick to anger
You keep score of the wrongs done to thee
Your faith can try to move mountains
Without love it’s nothing
Your heresies, they never cease
Your tongue, is never still
Your reflection, in the mirror
It shows nothing, does that trouble you?
Your faith may try to move mountains
Without love you’re nothing
Submit your body to the flames
Rejected just the same

Wicked Lips
04:27
|
|
||
|
With sweet persuasions, they enticed you
With flattering speech they seduced you
Pre-Chorus
Now your hands are covered in blood
Fingers stained
Your lips speak falsehoods
Unrestrained!
Verse
Your tongue became sharp like a serpent
The Poison of a viper under your lips
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
You never realized, you were radicalized
You mouth their words, as if your own
They made you fear, that led to hate
You fight their wars, as if your own
(they’re not your own!)
Their minds devise violence
Their lips whisper hate
The worthless dig up evil
Their words are scorching flame
You give false witness without cause
Deceiving all with your wicked lips
Pre-Chorus
Chorus

The Enemy's at the Gate
03:56
|
|

|
The old world has passed away
In wantonness overthrown
Nothing’s left today
But steel and fire and stone
All we knew now departs
The last commandment stands
In courage keep your heart
In strength lift your hand
Chorus
All we have
Is all we are
Stand up, WAR!
For all we have and all we are
For all our children’s fate
Stand up and take to war
The enemy’s at the gate
Verse
Once again we hear the word
That sickened the world of old
No law except the sword
Unsheathed and uncontrolled
Once more it binds us
Once more the nations go
To meet and break and bind
A crazed and driven foe
Chorus
Verse
No easy hope or lies
Will bring us to our goal
But iron sacrifice
Of body, will and soul
Face the coming days
In silent fortitude
Through perils and dismays
Our hope will be renewed
Chorus

A day of trouble and distress
Blackest of gloom
Clouds and thick darkness
The End’s coming soon
A dawn of burning anger
To avenge and kill
As it was written,
Let it be fulfilled
Waste and desolation
Ruin and unrest
Complete obliteration
Wrath manifest
All the great and mighty nations
Brought to their knees
A thousand generations
Suffer and bleed
Chorus
I am!
There is none beside me
I consume all things from the land
I am!
No one but me
I devour beast and man
I-will punish all the king's children
I-will punish his people too
I-consume the righteous and the wicked
I-consume man and beast too
I have cut off all the nations
Streets are waste
Cities are destroyed
Ancestors disgraced
Filthy and polluted
You have done violence to the law
For I am unforgiving
And I damn you all
Chorus

Recessional For Empire
06:55
|
|

|
And then there was no more Empire
Our victories air, our dominion dirt
The blood on the map spilled and stained
like a spot on a schoolboy’s shirt
Forgotten outposts with forgotten names
The setting sun, the lowering flags
Fluttering down with the dusk
Lest we forget, never forget
Drunk with the sight of our power
Judge of Nations spare us please
God of our fathers, known of old
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lest we forget, never forget
In empire we put our trust
Now our dreams turn to dust
Far flung, our armies melt away
Our navies rust beneath the waves
Loose tongues boast of forever
Forgive us of our terrible deeds
We betrayed all who put their trust
In empire made of man and dust
The captains and the king depart
With a heavy and humble heart
Forgive us for what our fathers made
Lest we forget, never forget
Nations built on ash of Empire
Gasping for air, fighting for dirt
Blood on the map, borders stained
Future wars, our people’s shame
Drunk with the reach of our power
Judge of Nations spare us please
We betrayed all who put their trust
In empire made of man and dust

Keep watch through the middle of the night
For I will not be with you
Little lamb, I’ve always known
The hunter comes for you
After I leave
Savage wolves will come to thee
Keep watch on those within
They will rise and betray you
Their treason, I’ve waited for
Leading the hunter straight to you
After I leave
Savage wolves will come to thee
The flock calls in their time of need
And I will not come for you
The wolves circle waiting to feed
And I will not save you
