1.
The Axe 03:06
Is this the best we have to offer? Is this all we brought to the table? This could be the last day of the world, so can we truly say we lived in freedom? To cut it down, expose the bone, and take back all that's left till nothing remains and in it's place we understand hope We walked past every line we drew so you could hear these words' "Your life is not defined by the grief and bitterness endured" And if that's "living", then come here and die with us Come die with with us
2.
The Mirror 03:25
All is ruined by the sight of perfection We see goodness, what is real is a poor reflection Through ignorance we build a dynasty of words and acts that can't defy majesty So we hang our heads All generations will know us by who we are The guilty, ashamed, the dirty: this is The Body Leave the mark, remain broken, resist the world
3.
Drown, just drown in the darkness, the vastness Doubt, you doubt we'll make it out alive The ocean folded inward on our strongest vessel Where hope filled our sails, despair now fills our lungs with poisons and the worst is yet to come All hands on deck this sinking ship is made of ash; just ash and dust We will all be swept away And you looked upon the cruelest ocean, you saw your fears stretched far over horizons One by one everything you loved sank into nothing, but still you held tight to this vessel you built with your own might The sorrow remains And in this world we're so uncertain, and still we try to calm the waters with our hands like rust on anchors We will all be swept away into the void of this perfect storm And you were there when sickness fell and the thousands fed; you saw the broken dance for joy And after all the wonders all you feared was the water in front of you, and with a hand outstretched you still couldn't believe that we could walk across these troubled waters Nothing we build can survive
4.
The Blessing 03:01
Lost in the forest, curse your stars and skies We waited for so long for our our way to be known, so sure of vision we gave our hearts to wolves in sheperd's clothing Death is all we followed, but there is grace among the trees and it is saying "We have been found HALLELUJAH!"
5.
The Quarrel 02:40
The great deception The vicious comedy The hallow romance Give us names to graves so that we might change and see our desperate cries for what they truly are ALL THE EMPTY MOUTHS For our pain we seek to find meaning Reach through the skies and find us a wanting lover but we are satisfied Begging to know You more but we don't need You Begging to know You more but we don't want You Choose to see the truth but only in the throes Prone to suffer, prone wander, but even in our comfort the Son seeks out His Bride
6.
The Contrast 04:44
Hiding in every corner, burned into walls; in this empty room they take everything, and their hands will bury me It stands to reason I have known all along that they will never relent their grip Let me go all you specters They say, "give up the ghost" but my ghosts follow me They speak to me in whispers as soft as thunder and their song is "you will never be free" They say that I'm not enough, and I'll never be "No matter where you go, or who you become, our song will drown out your screams" Beggars we became to the wrong masters Allowing these ghosts to tell who we are/now allowing the Spirit to give us everything Show me "me" through Your eyes
7.
The Storm 06:13
8.
Villains your time has come Thieves return your wares Liars, who are the worst of these? The hunger it just keeps growing, the need is overwhelming The guilty line the streets, a black mask over all their (our) heads Just because we can't face it, doesn't make it clean And from the start, we were perfect 'till it crept in We hid ourselves (broke unity), "and shame, the shame!" Toil made us weak, and we dug deep in arrogance We worshiped beauty, threw out the ugly; and we became what we hated And it never stopped, it consumed us all (The Nothing) And all this time, my King has been waiting to show you this Kingdom of the broken/desperate A Kingdom for ALL And in this story we are all the villains, there are are no heroes We did our worst, hoped for the best Now stand before your King and claim your worth
9.
The Audit 04:07
The cost, oh the cost is more than we could truly bare An unknown legacy, a debt we are building All of our goodness/strongholds, next to the weight of this, are worthless It cannot be undone Pretend to be islands, poison the ground After everything that we left and waste we can't accept it has always will be and always has been all of us Our actions mean more than we could ever know They can rebuild, they can destroy everything So letting it burn down, taking all that is valued At the end of this journey our cries will shake the Earth The kaufers are not full, the scales are not balance The righteous will rebuild all that was meant to distorted/wasted on sour seed RESTORE! We are restored! Oh, God we don't have it in us to pay the cost
10.
The Overture 02:45
Freedom reigns here with every word we sing, it cannot be withheld/defeated We are all the same: we breathe, we bleed We are all the same and freedom reigns There will be those who try to shame us but their words will fall like mist to the ocean All of us together in this place, let it go (find peace, rest, grace) Never again will we return to those places that have us crying, "Oh, my God!" We have been handed all the keys to change everything So we will always have freedom to sing, freedom to grow Never leave this place again burdened
