I flee into the void
Wishing my heart would stop beating
I leave it all behind
Wishing there was no air to breathe
My time’s come to an end
Take my life away my Lord
‘Cause my heart is broken
Nothingness is overtaking it
Free me from my flesh
Relieve me from my pain
I long for my death
Kill me, I am insane
The numbness of my soul
The knife that cuts my skin
There is no breath in me
There are no tears left to shed
Fleeing from my past
Running away from sin
My luck did not last
I’m thirsty and I’m thin
A fire consumed it all
My sword killed so many of them
I stood there on that mountain
Now I’m in the valley of death
Victory did I seek
Eternal defeat have I found
What is my purpose here
They killed all other prophets as well
Free me from my flesh
Relieve me from my pain
I long for my death
Kill me, I am insane

My son, stop sleeping
Stand up, take this meal
Get some rest, recover
Don’t talk, I’ll feed you
You shall live
You shall not die
Prepare for a journey
My son, please wake up
Get up, eat this bread
Have rest, drink my blood
Don’t worry, I’ll feed you
Look up to the ravens
They do not sow nor reap
Look down at your body
You will for sure feast
You shall live
You shall not die
Prepare for a journey
My strength is in you
No fear shall remain
As the fear of the Lord
You shall live
You shall not die
Prepare for a journey

Forty days, don’t look back
Forty nights, walk this path
Forty years of fasting
Forty years of fighting
This is the way of justice
A whole generation shall be buried in this land
This is the way of cleansing
Your own selfish nature shall be buried in this land
This is the way of freedom
Your doubts and your failures shall be buried in this land
This is the way of seeking
Your past and your glory shall be buried in this land
Walk straight forward and seek me
Unchain your soul from everything
Run straight forward and keep me
In your heart and mind forever
Forty days, don’t look back
Forty nights, walk this path
Forty years of fasting
Forty years of fighting
Your passions need to die
Unchain your soul from everything
Lay down in the mud und cry
There’s only one thing to live for
This is the way of guidance
A new generation shall be raised in this land
This is the way of surrender
A new way of living shall be created in this land
This is the way of obedience
Ten new commandments shall be stated in this land
This is the way of a new soul
A new human nature shall be created in this land
Forty days, don’t look back
Forty nights, walk this path
Forty years of fasting
Forty years of fighting

The Only Survivor
04:25

I can’t go on like this
Hatred and shame are upon me
I’m the only one left
The sword of the king is upon me
There is no time to rest
Haunted by the queen I’ve run away
Your kingdom fell apart
The last remaining hope is gone
This land is drowning in blood
The blood of our beloved prophets
They killed my brothers there
And I’m the only survivor
They’ve torn down your altars
They rejected your covenant
This tribe is unfaithful
Your people are betraying you
I’ve been fighting this battle for too long
I slaughtered one hundred priests and burned them all
I gave up my life to fight for you
I’ve been fighting this battle for too long
I slaughtered one hundred priests
God of judgment when will you wipe out this tribe
My legacy dies with me
For there is no one following you
They’ve torn down your altars
And I’m the only survivor
Don’t send me back alone
To the bloody grounds of this land
I’m the last of my kind
After me who is there to come?

Storm

Hear the thunder, a storm is rising
A holy storm that shatters rocks and stones
Feel the wind, a storm is coming
A holy storm that carries away your doubts
Heaven’s gates are open wide
There is a flood rushing down on us
Feel the water, drops are falling
A holy flood that covers this earth
This is the breath of the almighty
Every knee shall be bowed
This is the wind of his anger
The only force that makes life
Like a dove with wide spread wings
This storm is settling on that mountain
It’s the force that has always been there
Even before time began to turn
Hear the thunder, a storm is raging
A holy storm that shatters rocks and stones
Feel the wind, a storm is blowing
A holy storm that carries away your doubts
Wind and water
Storm and flood
Are only the precursors of his presence
Oh how small am I?

Quake

The substance we’re made of
Is moving beneath our feet
The crust of this planet
Is shaking beneath our path
These masses once rose
To separate water from land
Now they tremble
In awe of the creator
There is no rock He cannot move
No stone He will not turn
chaos became creation
Creations returns to chaos
Mountains bow down
The plants point to him
They exist for one reason
To honor the creator
Beasts come out of their holes
Everything that bleeds turns to him
They exist for one reason
To honor the creator
There is no rock He cannot move
No stone He will not turn
chaos became creation
Creations returns to chaos
Mountains bow down
The plants point to him
They exist for one reason
To honor the creator
Dust and dirt
Rocks and stones
Are only the precursors of his presence
Oh how small am I?

Fire

Look to the sky
There is judgement looming
Turn away your head
There is a fire falling
a fire falling
Feel the passion
Of the one who comes down in clouds
See the glory
Of the king who judges tall and small
A burning lamb
Sacrificed to make us free
A burning man
Went through hell for you and me
This is the end of days
Prune what didn’t bear fruit
This is the end of ways
Consume what didn’t serve you
A heat that heals
And heat that kills
Rushing through our souls
Purification always hurts
Purification always hurts
A light that delivers
And a light that puts on chains
Rushing through our heads
Purification always hurts
A burning lamb
Sacrificed to make us free
A burning man
Went through hell for you and me
Look to the sky
There are clouds burning
Turn away your heads
There are meteors fallingFire and heat
Inferno and ash
Are only the precursors of his presence
Oh how small am I?
