WAR OF AGES – The Deception Of Strongholds

I wait for you to breathe through me.
Oh how I long for your love.
My faith guides me in this darkness.
I battle for you on my own.

I hear my calling, endless, you are endless.
Bring me to my knees, battle, the battle has only begun.

The separation.
Determination.
The separation.
(Will never hold us back)
Determination.
(I’ll fight my way through)

Hold me close in your arms Lord.
Shelter me under your wings.
I find myself stronger with you.
My battle for you rages on.

WAR OF AGES – The Awakening

Eyes blind to the death of the church, a fabrication of truth.
Burn the banner you call love and open your eyes.

You’ve awakened the warriors, march for we are the elite.
Our altars are stained with blood.

Here we are in the fight of our lives, why won’t you listen, we bring
the angel of death.

God I’m on my knees, suffering, is this all I am.
Please fill my pain, lift me up and hold me close to your heart.
How could I fail you once again, your love is what sustains me.

Here lies another empty tomb is what you preach.
Fear the very thing you created, yet you’re still blind.
Death to those who bear the mark, life to those who choose to fight.

As we gather in your presence.

God I’m on my knees, suffering, is this all I am.
Please fill my pain, lift me up and hold me close to your heart.
How could I fail you once again, your love is what sustains me.

WAR OF AGES – Strength Within

Show me your strength; this is our time to bleed.
We’ve suffered for far too long.
I won’t give in.
We’ll fight.
We’ll fight.
I’ve never felt so a lone.
Will I ever find my way? You chose to hide in fear.
In fear.
Will we find strength within to fight against this world we’re in?
As my soul pants forth it thirsts and longs for you.
My tears have ran dry.
All my hope is in you.
I won’t hide behind my faith to keep me safe.
The time has come for us to rise against our fear and lead a world that hides its shame.
I hope we’ll rise at the chance to live again.
The pain that dwells inside have run their roots far too deep.
We swallow at the chance to truly live because we chose to hid behind suffering.
If we fight against our emptiness and battle through our many losses.
Will we have the chance to breathe again in a world that tells us we are nothing?

WAR OF AGES – Stand Your Ground

We lie awake in our battlefields
One chance to prove ourselves
We will prevail
Our will to live is powerful and our strength will never fade away
To the weak who try to stop us
You don’t have the strength
So save your breath
Stand your ground when our hate has been concealed
I’ll carry it to the grave now that fate is revealed
My eyes begin to close
If we close our eyes and keep to ourselves in hope that everything will fade away
We’ll live in shame and wonder to ourselves if there will ever be a second chance
With strength we’ll never fall apart and in time we’ll prove ourselves
My heart can’t be broken for I’ll never live in shame
With every breath and all that I am I’ll make a stand
Until the end stand your ground

WAR OF AGES – Song Of Solomon

I will never break from the promise, you failed to make
Redefined by hate of the broken come and ease the pain

I can’t stop myself from falling over the hate you recover the restless
Ramming words down your throat as the image of hope holds itself to blame
how can you resist the burning in your soul to set the world of at ease
I felt peace in my heart from the moment your words came from out of the dark

Your words will fall upon the strength of man
We rise above the flames
As we pass through fear will the strength remain
We will rise through fear I remember when I was held down so tight
I never felt like I would breather again hoping you would remember me and now I finally see you again-
I broke down the moment I left you standing on the fence-
I never should have left

I release myself to the oncoming storm-
asking God to protect me maybe I’m ready to change
so I start with the past and work my way to the top-
see through darkness as I bend at the knees as you grab my hands-
I stand up and raise your hands, let it consume you

Your words will fall upon the strength of man-
We rise above the flames-
As we pass through fear will the strength remain again-
Hoping you would remember me and now I finally see you again
I broke down the moment I left you standing on the fence I never should have left
I will never break from the promise you failed to make redefined by hate of the broken come and ease the pain

WAR OF AGES – Silent Night

As your world starts to crumble becoming your battleground
Will you stay silent, where is your faith now?
Over every wound, every scar that you earned
Will you stand up and back away or face the flames?

Now as you

Follow eyes up front as you hit the floor
Take from it strength this is what we were all made for
[x2]

Fallen I am yet bound by flesh why can’t I face this alone
Or was I expected to break through the eye of the storm
Foolish you are and by your hands you’ll never find out the truth
For you have been blinded and now you are lost in the waves of your lies

As your world starts to crumble becoming your battleground
Will you stay silent, where is your faith now?
Over every wound, every scar that you earned
Will you stand up and back away or face the flames?

Now as you

Follow eyes up front as you hit the floor
Take from it strength this is what we were all made for
[x2]

Caught by the tail with a gun and faithless
Will the answers come when the stuggles start falling again
Ignoring all the questions you built while the weight of the world rest on you
The crosses you’ll bare the answers you’ll find won’t pull you away from the path
As you see this through all you have won’t cross with the state of your mind

WAR OF AGES – Second Chance

I am broken before you don’t turn away in fear of what I’ve become
Give me a chance to prove to you that I’ve changed
And no one can break me hear us we’ve been given a second chance
No one can stop us
Stand true until the end
Never fall
No one can stop us
Don’t shelter us
You never gave us a chance to bring in the weak
And put the world to the test
Don’t judge our worth on account of the way the others carry themselves
Now take hold of the truth you buried inside
Set yourself free
I am broken before you don’t turn away in fear of what I’ve become
Give me a chance to prove to you that I’ve changed
No one can break me
Hear us we’ve been given a second chance
No one can stop us
Stand true until the end
Never fall
No one can stop us now

WAR OF AGES – Redeemer

Arise, arise.
Only truth will set you free

Arise, arise.
Will you remember me?
Arise, arise.
Only truth will set you free

What am I afraid of?
I’m tired of running scared

My pain is wearing thin

The calling of life filled with fear
Every movie we make

Renew my strength now

Waiting for you lord

I’ve fallen asleep
Hoping death will give me rest
The loneliness without you holds me in

Renew my strength
Renew my strength now
I help it in
Waiting for you lord

I’ve fallen asleep
Hoping death will give me rest
The loneliness without you holds me in

We blame it on weakness
Instead of on yourself

Ignoring everything you felt

You’ve become the god you serve
Your foundation’s built on glass

Will you remember me?

Arise, arise.
Will you remember me?
Arise, arise.

I will never turn my back on you
Bearing the weight of the world

I will never turn my back on you
Bearing the weight of the world

Will you remember me?
Will you remember me?
Will you remember me?
Will you remember me?

WAR OF AGES – My Solitude

My life was not in vain
Proved by the stripes on his back
Our sins have been covered
Open the gates and set me free
Look on me
Send forth your fire
One last chance to throw down my life
Cover me
Here I am before your throne
You look at me as I turn away
Endless shame stripes my face
I look to you
for I am lost
Your out stretched arms hold me tight
The look in your eyes takes my fear
My hands are raised up to the sky
I’m living breathless in my solitude

WAR OF AGES – Indecision

Confused by indecision from a broken home
Left here to find out there’s nothing left
I stand alone through scattered winds untainted
By human failure reminding us what we lost
How consistently we fall without taking a breath
Watching our life pass until the day we die
Hope we can follow
Faithful, we are faithful
Lord I honor you, Lord
Closer, you bring me closer
Hopeless, the never ending hopelessness
Our last words climb to a higher point of rage
This world has fallen into sorrow through selfishness
Now we won’t amount to anything
The failing art of redemption
Had become a sign that wee are not alone
Will we prove to the world of your existence?
or cower in the face of regret

WAR OF AGES – Immortal

We rise, born in the flesh
I will not let this be my regret
From dust we rise and to dust we fall
Keep your eyes on the path, let it go!
We rise, born in the flesh
I will not let this be my regret
From dust we rise and to dust we fall
Keep your eyes on the path, let it go!

You look back on the path take from it what you need
Find it hard just to breathe, bow down on both knees
Realize [?] up for nothing
[?]

We find favor in all the wrong places
We’re going faster, regret is sinking in.
Somehow if we wait it all out, I feel it would be worth it
We’re further from the truth.

Let the words be few, and rip the flesh from my eyes.
(Here I am) Staying strong until you (Rise again)
Let it rain now let it (Fall from you)
By the Grace of God, bow to the will of a King and give your everything
(Here I am) Staying strong until you (Rise again)
Let it rain now let it (Fall from you)
By the Grace of God, bow to the will of a King and give your everything

Find the will to survive (screams the path I lead?)
Sit back, say your prayers
Now let your body yearn
What’s worth being (quoted without you with me?)
Take the candles, take the light
Now watch it burn

We find favor in all the wrong places
We’re going faster, regret is sinking in.
Somehow if we wait it all out, I feel it would be worth it
We’re further from the truth.

(Here I am) Staying strong until you (Rise again)
Let it rain now let it (Fall from you)
By the Grace of God, bow to the will of a King and give your everything
(Here I am) Staying strong until you (Rise again)
Let it rain now let it (Fall from you)
By the Grace of God, bow to the will of a King and give your everything

WAR OF AGES – Generational Curse

Wounded, I’m left wounded, scarred by your choice.
Alone and fatherless, why was I not enough.

I felt your weakness.

Fearing what’s to come, still moving forward.
Father, Holy Father, prepare my heart for war.

I felt your weakness and you watch me fall.

Fearless and left in an empty home my acceptance has drawn life away from me.

Liar, wounded yet fearless, you’re our shelter, we’ll see this through the end.

I wait for your return your failure to act is my pain.

Savior, Savior, why.

WAR OF AGES – Final Act

We bring ourselves down and [?]
The final act we despise
We wear our scars as a constant reminder
About you Father we yearn

God give me the strength I need
Lift the weight from my path
Stand back as we pray for You
You are the reason we breathe

We break, we fall, and lose our breath
Sit down, your strength, and let it fill your head
Your house may fall but you’ll bounce right back
We live and breathe, break up but bring us rest

The fate of the world rests on a prophecy
Then put the blame on yourself
I hope to God we will break this with honesty
You are the reason we bow

God give me the strength I need
Lift the weight from my path
Stand back as we pray for You
You are the reason we breathe

We break, we fall, and lose our breath
Sit down, your strength, and let it fill your head
Your house may fall but you’ll bounce right back
We live and breathe, break up but bring us rest [x3]

We break, we fall, and lose our breath
Break and fall
We live and breath, break up but bring rest
Walk alone, we’ll never walk alone

Break up but bring rest

WAR OF AGES – False Prophet

Put my life back on its course and remove all doubt from my soul
You’ve left me here with false hope and now you sit back
And you watch me die tear me down with my undying breath
I risk everything obey the truth in this I trust in you stripped from shame
Without him all is lost reclaim my soul bring me new life
I’m not alone, free my soul here’s my heart with this life I hold
You in condemned for all to unveil what you’ve become and
How you brought me down bow your head

WAR OF AGES – When Faith Turns To Ashes

Death to our deceiver.
Your shoulders bear your consequences.
Fear the life you stole.
Kill with no remorse.

We fall by the hands of man.

Hide your selfishness, your fallen dreams glare through the eyes of our beholder.
Innocent your innocence.

Am I only in this to feel comfort, without pain I’d never know what comfort was.

Feel the innocence, feel your innocence.

I’ve become a slave to your selfishness.
Failure my failure, to act is now my death.

Innocent my innocence.

WAR OF AGES – Eternal

For what feels like a life time I stood my ground
I felt nothing could touch me until now
Fall, and then you watch me, Fall
The warrior inside me is crying out
Set your face like a flint and stand your ground
Fall, and then you watch me, Fall
Never wanted, never wished for
My failures to hold me back
The only thing worth meaning
Is falling through the cracks
Will I find what I am looking for?
My very own existence
May cost me everything
My existence is overtaking me
I’m hoping and praying for a chance to live
The undying mistakes that I’ve made
Has set my life apart and now I’m free
Live for something, Hope for nothing
Regardless of what it’s worth
The battle for something greater
Is crawling up your back

WAR OF AGES – Desire

Desire is over taking me
Arousing the essence of my soul
Bow to the pressure
While tearing your life apart
Your denial causes
A simple pathetic plea
As you bow in honor and
Choke on your words
The lessons keep on coming
As desire starts to fade
As the healing hand of reason
Comes closer and closer
Will the answers still be the same?
Regardless of what it’s worth
I’m holding still holding on
To the god of my mistakes
Rise from the pressures destroying the walls of Rome
Lies of deception eating away at your flesh
Fight the pain of deception
We are not alone
I Can always count on you
Fill the dying dream as your feelings begin to die
Your reason for living drowns every retreating nerve.

WAR OF AGES – Bitter Sweet

Death over life.
A blueprint you have drawn.
Silence over sound.
Your casket awaits six feet deep.
Rage over mercy.
The blood drains from your wrist.
The champion holds his title no more.
Six demons wait patiently for their chance to attack.
You claim that no ones around.
I say look past the gun.
Lift the veil and see all that share their love.
Don’t feel that death is the way.
The deaf try to carry a tune while the blind fall on their face.
But adversity will never slow them down.
Now look inside.
Wipe my slate clean.
Stop this tonight.
Value everyday as precious and worthwhile.
A change you’ll see when black turns to white.
Let it go.
Blood stained walls.
This blade is dead weight at best.
Grab your throat.
This body hangs by a knot.
Burn your mask.
God tear these scales from my eyes.
Pure at heart this burden haunts me no more.

WAR OF AGES – Fallen Idol

We are the children of promise
Set us free from the face of this world
We lift our voices and press on
Eyes set as we rise

Bow down to the face over me
Who is your god?
I’m going to live free
Taking flight right into my fantasy
On this ground looking down
It seems so clear
Close your eyes, hold them tight
Hold the people last

[Chorus:]
I see the face of the ariving god
And will at last be a suffering
I see the fault in the way I live
Through you I’m free
You came as the freedom that we had
Through the price of life
Salvation bought by the blood of your hands
I am free, I’m living free

Generation to generation all you love shall lie in waste through a path you thought you rose above
If you close your mouth and listen to what I was telling you
Your faith will die and the rest of your friends will follow you

[Chorus]

We are the children of promise
Set us free from the face of this world
We lift our voices and press on
Eyes set as we rise to our feet

We are the children of promise
We are the children of promise
We are the children of promise
Eyes set as we rise
