I Hate the Antichrist
02:08
|
|||
I hate evil, I hate sin and everything that counters Christ
I hate all the lies and deceit and I hate the Antichrist
Using tricks and machinations to deceive the kids of God
He thinks he will win this fight but Jesus Christ will cast him to the flames
Always growing
Never slowing
I hate lies and I hate tricks and everything that twists the truth
I hate false accreditation to the lies disguised as proof
Nobody is innocent but observing this massive heist
Further strengthens my position that I hate the wicked Antichrist
As we rise against
Satan and his lies
We all grow in strength
Faith is growing
Never slowing
As we rise against
Satan and his lies
We all grow in strength
Faith is growing
Never slowing
Always rising
Energizing
I hate evil, I hate sin and everything that counters Christ
I hate all the lies and deceit and I hate the Antichrist
Using tricks and machinations to deceive the kids of God
He thinks he will win this fight but Jesus Christ will cast him to the flames
I hate the Antichrist

Nailed to the Wood
02:52
|
|||
Nailed to the wood
95 disputations against indulgences
Nailed to the wood, Jesus Christ
For our sins and eternal life
Hammer up
With nails in hand
He dared to take a stand
Against the Catholic Church because they
Ran a grift against his folk
Forgiveness exchanged for cash and valuables
Crucifix with nails drove in
Messiah left to die
So we could be redeemed forever
Sacrifice for all mankind to better all our lives
Reformation and the Finished Work
1517, Luther challenged authority for you and me
30ish AD, Jesus died for you and for all mankind
Rejoice in this life!
1517, Luther challenged authority for you and me
30ish AD, Jesus died for you and for all us, all mankind

Set apart from all the world, a chosen few will rise
Forced into a culture that wants to seed our demise
We won’t ever cave into their communistic plan
Society can’t dictate what is best for every man
Call us misfits, burnouts, weirdos, we don’t really care
And we don’t need your fashion trends or fancy clothes to wear (Oh no)
We will not be conformed
We are not the norm
We will not conform
We are made for more
We will not conform
We are made for more
We will not conform to all the evil in this world
American consumer culture, you are what you buy
If you’re broke, don’t worry, you can microfinance life
Romans 12 reminds me that my mind must be transformed
In the face of culture, I must never be conformed
Fake and plastic
Lost in the static of life

Dissident Uprising
02:46
|
|||
The perfect storm is coming
Unholy empire crumbling down
The people hear the calling
To smash this system to the ground
Rise up! Rise up! Rise Up! RISE!
No, we won’t be held captive
We won’t salute the captain
We will not separate
Unity till the grave
You tried hard to enslave us
Done with the grief you gave us
You cannot stop us now
To you, we’ll never bow
You tried left or right, no trust
We found a third way for us
You can’t stop this rise, no way
There’s no time for second chances
You tried left or right, no trust
We found a third way for us
You can’t stop this rise, no way
There’s no time for second chances
We already crossed the bridge you burnt
No, we won’t be held captive
We won’t salute the captain
We will not separate
Unity till the grave
You tried hard to enslave us
Done with the grief you gave us
You cannot stop us now
To you, we’ll never bow
You tried left or right, no trust
We found a third way for us
You can’t stop this rise, no way
There’s no time for second chances
You tried left or right, no trust
We found a third way for us
You can’t stop this rise, no way
There’s no time for second chances
We already crossed the bridge you burnt

Satan is Antifa
00:24
|
|||
Satan is alive and well inside the world today
He’s hanging out with Antifa and marching with the gays
Burning down the cities so that he can pave the way
For masked up commies to enforce the wishes of the state
Satan is Antifa!

Don't Need a Government
01:56
|
|||
I don’t need a government to tell me what to buy and where to spend
I don’t need a government to tell me how to live and follow trends
I don’t need a government to tell me who to love and who to hate
I don’t need a government to take my income at a higher rate
They’re not gonna get away with all the lies and schemes another day
We just need to take a stand and spread the truth through all the land
They’re not gonna get away with all the taxation they make us pay
We just need to take a stand against the mass deception, corporate greed, corruption, and the ones who feed us lies
Democracy
Is not for me
No king but Christ
He opened up my eyes
Two sides, same team
Plutocracy
They lie, they scheme
To control everything
They’re not gonna get away with all the lies and schemes another day
We just need to take a stand and spread the truth through all the land
They’re not gonna get away with all the taxation they make us pay
We just need to take a stand against the mass deception, corporate greed, corruption, and the ones who feed us lies

Working Class Blues
01:50
|
|||
Go to work and make a dollar
Feeling blue just like my collar
Got a boss that likes to holler
Can I take a break?
Uncle Sam takes from my paycheck
Never lets me call a rain check
Have you paid off all your debt yet?
Can I get away?
I gotta make my way, got no choice and
I gotta work all day, to earn a living
Monday morning and I’m back again
It’s all the same and nothing ever changes
Sick and tired of the same old thing
In the same old swing, with the same exchanges
Come payday, I will feel good for a day
Far away from my job and from my place
Go to work and make a dollar
Feeling blue just like my collar
Got a boss that likes to holler
Can I take a break?
Uncle Sam takes from my paycheck
Never lets me call a rain check
Have you paid off all your debt yet?
Can I get away?
I don’t need the world, all the diamonds and the pearls
I just want to vent and someone else to pay my rent

Living for Today
02:30
|
|||
Living in a world where nobody cares and
Living in a time when the self is god
Living in a place where they’re taught to despise me
Living in a lie with a nice façade
Corporations run the world and the TV screens control your mind
Self-control is sacrilegious, hedonism is defined
Must control the population, thinking can’t get out of line
Censorship and cancel culture, thought control by their design
I don’t need your sympathy
I don’t need your apathy
I don’t need your way of life
I just want to pry your eyes wide open
Corporations run the world and the TV screens control your mind
Self-control is sacrilegious, hedonism is defined
Must control the population, thinking can’t get out of line
Censorship and cancel culture, thought control by their design
Information is suppressed by algorithms, coded lines
Just so you don’t get the answers that could undo all the lies
Governed by a pedophilic Satanist global cabal
With the interest to enslave us and they must control us all
Jesus Christ, come like a flood!
Living in the fast lane, living for today
The kids aren’t taught to think, just only to obey
Nothing really matters and life is just a game
No one really wins but we play anyway
Living in a world where nobody cares and
Living in a time when the self is god
Living in a place where they’re taught to despise me
Living in a lie with a nice façade
Corporations run the world and the TV screens control your mind
Self-control is sacrilegious, hedonism is defined
Must control the population, thinking can’t get out of line
Censorship and cancel culture, thought control by their design

Ills of a Sick Society
02:36
|
|||
Living in a fallen world, like a social outcast
Like a polar opposite exists in perfect contrast
Worshippers of death surround me, telling me I’m wrong
But I don’t need their validation, don’t need to belong
And I don’t care
What you say or what you do
I’ll live my life, you can’t decide, it’s not for you
Can’t stand the way I’m castigated
Don’t want your life, from what I see it’s overrated
What you say ain’t what you do
You point out splinters with a log stuck out of you
You’re all the same, so hypocritical
You cheer your side, it’s left or right, it’s all political
Sick, ill
I see the symptoms all around, it’s all downhill
Sick, bleeding
Bandage away, won’t change a thing, the effort’s fleeting
As we decay, our moral fabric
It tears away with every day, it’s so dramatic
We hope for change, we need a remedy
We need a savior and the truth to smash the enemy
Symptoms begin worsening
As wickedness is burgeoning
No shot or mask to stop the spread
Look to the answer overhead
The cure remains in Jesus Christ
The only truth and only light
That shines down to this darkened earth
To beckon you unto rebirth
Mankind’s decline
On the front line
No more blessing
Just regressing back to the mean

Hymn for the Punks
03:08
|
|||
We stand out, we stay true
Christian punks, doubt us, hate us
We’re the ones, misconstrued
Trying to get through to you and
We all carry the same flame
Christian punks, Jesus’ children
Spreading light within the dark
Living life the way, just not the same
Great Commission, Holy Mission of truth
Rise!
And we will triumph in the glory of His light
And we will sacrifice to keep it burning bright
Not gonna follow in the way of man’s design
Salt and the light, called to preserve, our hearts aligned
And we will triumph in the glory of His light
And we will sacrifice to keep it burning bright
Not gonna follow in the way of man’s design
Salt and the light, called to preserve, our hearts aligned
Called to spread the Gospel and the truth
Rise!
And we will triumph in the glory of His light
And we will sacrifice to keep it burning bright
Not gonna follow in the way of man’s design
Salt and the light, called to preserve, our hearts aligned
And we will triumph in the glory of His light
And we will sacrifice to keep it burning bright
Not gonna follow in the way of man’s design
Salt and the light, called to preserve, our hearts aligned
Called to spread the Gospel and the truth
