1. Gang Signs

I will bleed for the One who gave everything for me. Watch and wait. Read up! You’re gonna die for that Man whose blood is on my hands. So fess up His name. And be bled dry. As you can see the new generation of gang signs. Beware of simple flattery. They will hand you over in chains. Those who serve and protect just protecting their own best interest. As they serve you up to the flames. But I’ve got one eye to the sky. I see just One Man in the distance. So step up and feel my resistance. Even if we all die. Time is on my side... Time is on my side... Time is on my side. I laugh inside as they fight Him. Prepare to run I can’t spell it out plainly. Aww, you’re befriending the system. And you’re gonna get paid. And love grows cold as the sick ones hate you. Never realizing they’re the ones getting played. Read the signs of the end of this age. As man makes plans. The flood comes quickly. Our history’s bathed in blood but let’s become a copycat culture war. As this Sunday school mind takes the place of the Kingdom. And I’m done with this abomination. Desolation. The vultures, vultures circling. And the world will mourn as we flee. I see it’s over. Time is on my side.
 
 
2. No One Leaves This Room Sick

Who’s the foolish man? The one who bows his will to a sick and defeated foe. The one who fights. Step from the crowd of the dying, from the shadows. Sickness and panic and death, until you rise. Hell fight me. This is the war I was made for. Love over all. Fight me. In this hollow, faithless, shattered reality. I’ll never fall. Immanuel, I am not my own. Immanuel, I am not alone. Move from the slave state, into the moment of youth speaking earth’s fate. The highest truth. Though our number is small we’re slowing growing, and we heed only king’s call. As he declares: I must have, all the hopeless. I hold the pure staff. Shepherd of truth. Trust my work in you. As you believe me, I entrust myself too. And I declare. Fight me. Fight me. Fight me. Come and fight me. To the generation I’ve seen in my dreams: you’re the only option the dying world has. And it’s no longer the time for us to play church, it’s time for every one of us to stand up and depend solely on the presence of God inside. Kill me, smash me to the ground. You’ll never defeat me. Flesh and Blood. I must Prophesy. I will Prophesy. To the four winds. We must Prophesy. Immanuel, I am not my own. Immanuel, I am not alone. Immanuel!
 
 
3. Sons of Thunder

"You have heard that it was said, ’Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, ’Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:38-45) - This conflict burns in my veins, I feel injustice surround, stopping my movement in hope. The stinging words of the crowd, they speak of me like I’ve lost my mind, like I am some kind of joke. I see the enemies rage, I hear the sickening voice taunt, I feel his wicked eyes shine. Simply no longer afraid I throw my head back and laugh, and take a drink of new wine. The fight is over your souls. Sons of Thunder. Calling the fire down. Burning with hope. Sons of Thunder. My only weapon is truth, hatred’s more powerful or so it would seem, sapping my belief in all the things you have shown in the secret. My friends and family just scream, angry at you and they cry out to me. They speak sincere unbelief and inside them they mean it. Sons of Thunder. Calling the fire down. Bringing me home. Sons of Thunder. Prayer: [...] Let your supernatural love come out Jesus, Lord God. Let broken human hearts come into repentance, come to change, come to salvation, come to relationship with You, God, because of the power of Your supernatural love. Father I ask, God, that You would make us like revolutionaries that could follow in the footsteps of men and women that let love overcome hate, God, that let peace overcome violence. Lord Jesus, I ask that You’d make us revolutionaries that will truly kill all evil and all demonic oppression with the kindness of the love of Jesus, God. Let Your love come right now father, let Your love come right now like a mighty flush. [...] Overcome this world with love. Overcome this world with love. Overcome this world with love. Is there no one who understands, has everyone turned aside, is anyone listening, someone hear me. Overcome this world with love. Does anyone understand, has everyone turned their own way. Father help me, return! Overcome this world with love. In that moment I have felt my life slip from my hands. Becoming heaven’s weapon. Bringing me home. Overcome this world with love. In that instant felt your spirit enter mortal man. See you in Armageddon. Bringing me home. Overcome this world with love. In that moment I have felt my life slip from my hands. Becoming heaven’s weapon. Bringing me home. Overcome this world with love. In that instant felt your spirit enter mortal man. See you in Armageddon. Bringing me home. Overcome this world with love. See you in Armageddon. See you in Armageddon. See you in Armageddon. Bringing me home. Overcome this world with love. See you in Armageddon. See you in Armageddon. See you in Armageddon. Bringing me home.
 
 
4. Descending Into Hell - [stream song]
(feat. guest vocals by Bruce LePage, formerly of 100 Demons)

I’m rigged to fire, and I’m set to blow. I cannot live in this state, break down the doors, smash every window, to help the orphans escape. What would Jesus do? I think illuminate. You know what’s “unbiblical”? That’s Jesus sitting in some blackened room. These people live so violated and we’re concerned with church agendas. Oh My God. Pure religion says I fight this war. The hidden millions in our own backyard, exploited masses. These kids are all alone, waiting for someone. I tell you what’s “biblical”. The Master came to set the captives free, and we should be like Him, we will worship and pray, then instigate their release! I can’t see Jesus in this. Pollutes my trust, it fills my heart with hate. I hear their muffled screams, these children terrified. God what is right, I can’t stand by and…I refuse to stand by in this house of fear, it’s innocent kids who pay the real price, in the house of fear. Take back every throw away life from the house of fear. Can’t live for myself as innocence dies, in the house of fear! Holy God. Where are you in the dark and hidden place? How can I sleep when children live as slaves, these are your people Oh God. I’ll pray and I’ll move, Father say the word! Cause this is unspeakable, slithering darkness, but I’ll bring the light. And by the morning they’ll all be gone, given the chance to lead a different life. Descending into hell. Cause these kids are for sale, we walk into hell. For those locked in a cell, we walk into hell. Some can’t speak for themselves, we walk into hell. Even Jesus himself has walked into hell.

5. The Streets Don’t Lie

Taking me to the streets, I’m losing everything society deemed important to me. Where do I turn? Kicking me in the teeth. Why’s my wife and daughter sleeping in some strange building, their whole life taped in boxes. How can my marriage survive? How will my wife respect me at night if she don’t think I’ll provide. What goes through my child’s mind, her fragile heart, this tears me apart. Oh Jesus am I alone in this fight? Only vagabonds can know. Only the homeless ones can comprehend what it means to lose everything you know, just to come home again. Only the pilgrims go from strength to strength, and the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head. So now He helps me find my way in this world, I’m home again. And He sings over me. His voice washes my wounds clean. He says my sons and daughters, exempt from fear, this is Jubilee. You are one, you are my child. Child of mine... Oh nation, listen to me. ...who’s unseen. Don’t you worry about a thing. Night will fall, though the darkness is real, sun will rise, though the enemy lies. The awakening, your home is nearer than it seems, come waste away with me. How many sunny days have I passed men and women taken to poverty within this nation. In passing I mumble a prayer, "Oh God just get them out of this jungle, let me show them salvation." My Christian vanity, all my possession, all links and chains to this all powerful nothing. We’re choking on American Dreams, and this whole nation falling down at the feet of the meek. Maybe the homeless ones are free. Maybe those vagabonds can comprehend, what it means to have absolutely nothing, while coming home again. And as those pilgrims go from strength to strength. Like the Son of Man, nowhere to lay his head. And I’ve experienced losing everything I thought was home, on my way home again. And He sings over me. His voice washes my wounds clean. He says my sons and daughters, exempt from fear, this is Jubilee. You are one, you are my children, child of mine, you can see me, who’s unseen, I know you all, I know and I see. Night will fall, though the darkness is real, the sun will rise, I’ll lift your head up, the true awakening, I’ll never leave, come waste away with me. Give up everything. I hold truth and resurrection life. Kid stay vigilant. You watch and wait for my imminent return. Give up everything. I hold truth and resurrection life. Kid stay vigilant. You watch and wait for my imminent return. And every generation sings. Every generation that lifts up its head, it lifts up its hands, as the people sing… We are those, and we declare to every broken heart, children of One. Let every wounded soul, who’s unseen, all who’ve been cast away. Worlds will fall, every last one that’s been turned away, we may die... We declare over your heart... ...in the awakening. ...this is your destiny. Come waste away! Maranatha! Jesus come! Kingdom come! Jesus come! Kingdom come! Your will!
 
 
6. The Army of the Chosen One
(feat. guest vocals by Ryan Clark of Demon Hunter)
 
Prayer by Krissi Green, vocalist Thom Green’s wife: Lord we are asking for a generation to arise, that will not fall, that will not fall, that they would not give themselves to drugs, they would not give themselves to sex, they would not give themselves to others. Lord, that they would give themselves to You. Lord, we are asking that you would release the apostolical generation, that they would go out into the nations and they call forth those to love You and to serve You all the days of their lives, and know that wherever they go that they take the gospel and the love of Jesus, that in all things they would love You, they love You unrelenting, not holding back, nothing but that they would love you Jesus. An army composed of walking dead, of willing hearts, in this our day of struggle. We speak with fire, we break all chains, the foolish bonds of carnal mind far beneath us. We see the leader transfigured light, He calls us forward, in that moment receive. Gives us a new name, on stones of white, and then we stand commissioned, searching for the valiant more to come. Oh... Chosen ones! ...we’re rising, calling out your name. Chosen ones! And you will hear our anthem raise. Chosen ones! So answer us in truth. Answer me! I know their faces. I hear their names, reveal their future, warriors of regeneration. I’ve seen their journey. I’ve felt their pain. I’ve reached into each shame-filled, dark and failed existence. I see them rising my crest in heart, sealed to my vision anchored deep within each man. The day approaches, each life will close. The awesome day we see the Lion and the Lamb. Oh... Chosen ones! ...we’re rising, calling out your name. Chosen ones! And you will hear our anthem raise. Chosen ones! So answer us in truth. Answer me! Father where is the army I’ve seen in my visions. It’s the generation the dragon has feared in his dreams. Father where is the army I’ve seen in my visions. We are the generation the dragon has feared in his dreams, his nightmares! GLORIA! Soon we will find out who are the real revolutionaries. GLORIA! Someday we will see who’s in this thing for real! GLORIA! Soon we will find out who are the real revolutionaries. GLORIA! Someday we will see who’s in this thing for real!
 
 
7. I’ve Seen
(feat. guest vocals by Dawn Johnson of Take 2 Productions)

I’ve seen, I’ve seen I AM. (x6) The king is dead, long live the King. I see the throne, the pure throne, real before me, and the door stands open. And the train of His robe, I’ve never seen one like it, fills my view, filling my view, my view of You, Oh My God. Above me seraphs wait present, six wings and eyes, covered in praise, they gaze upon You, they scream "Holy Holy!". At the sound of their voice, the earth will shake, the foundations tremble, and I fall prostrate before true majesty. Majesty. Woe is me, Woe is Me, I am ruined, I am ruined. Oh my God, You’ve ruined everything for me. Cause I’ve seen. My eyes have gazed upon the King, I’ve seen the Almighty One. And I’m ruined again, and I cry out "Woe is Me." Then one flew to me with a live coal in his hand, and it scorched to the touch, it burns and purifies. I cry out! "I’m just a man of unclean lips, if you heard my speech you’d be ashamed of me. I am a man who is unclean, and my people are not clean." Then He cried out to me, saying: "This has touched you now, your guilt, your shame atoned for, don’t be ashamed of me." So I wait on You now, I hear a voice too holy to recognize, and too holy to disregard. I hear Him cry out: "Who shall I send? Whom shall I send? Who will go for me in this generation, whom shall I send out?" And there’s a pain in my heart cause there’s no one, it’s like there’s no one who’s seen. But I am ready because I’ve seen, I’m ready, I’ve seen. Here am I Lord, please send me. Here am I Lord, please send me. (x4)
 
 
8. Confession

Bind my hands, I stand at the gates of hell. Though you defy me flames, I deny you death itself. You and I make confession. I feel that rain fall down. Let the rain fall, oh my God let the chains fall. As it falls I’m covered. Let it all, it all fall down. Scene two: The accuser is furious. In his fake tattered gown. He’s pointing his finger, holding me down, then the light breaks. A voice speaks, “My child, this won’t last for long.” Oh demon I’ve something to show you. “My son rise up now sing him your song!” So I sing out: “Look how you’ve fallen, Morningstar!” You once covered the throne in praise, you fake, now look where you are. I will never bow my knee again, in sin and shame. Serpent, I have witnessed your defeat, I know your schemes, your games. I have been covered in the blood of the Faithful One. Jesus cover me in Your Blood. Jesus cover me in Your Blood. Jesus cover me in Your Blood. Jesus cover me in Your Blood. Jesus cover me in Your Blood...
 
 
9. He Will Reign
(feat. guest piano by George Bowker)

In my mind I know how to sing this, but I need Your light, God there’s no other way. He says I try, the words all come jumbling out. As I rest in Your light, I hear Your Spirit say, You say: “Come... Come..." I don’t know why it was that I hated You so. It was before I really knew You, before I touched Your heart and it became unto me, the very substance of my life. I’ve stayed at Your side, I’ve seen the things that You do. I’m blessed, I’m broken, I’m honored inside to be called Your wife. “Come... Come... Come... Come... Come..." Then my heart cries out, You will reign forevermore. I love You Lord, You will reign forevermore. You are worthy Lord, so worthy Lord. You will reign forevermore. You’re so deserving Lord, take my life Oh God. You will reign forevermore. Oh we exalt Your name Oh God, we exalt You now Lord. You will reign forevermore. Take my life and make it Yours. You will reign forevermore. Then You sing out over us Oh Lord. You respond and I thank You Lord. You sing, we will reign forevermore! You lift up my head and sing, we will reign forevermore! You call me beloved Lord, so we sing, we will reign forevermore! You are worthy, You alone, we sing out, we will reign forevermore! We exalt You Lord. We will reign forevermore!
