FORGOTTEN WAYS
(music: Slabaugh/ lyrics: Rogers)

Listen O' heavens, and I will speak
I proclaim the name of the Lord
oh praise the greatness of Our God

chorus
We have sacrificed to demons which are not God
Gods we have not known
Gods which recently appeared
Gods which your father feared

We have acted corruptly towards him
We are a warped and crooked generation
Is this the way we repay the Lord
O' foolish and unwise people

He let us ride the heights of the land
Fed us with the fruit of the fields
Nourished us with honey from the rock
We drank the foaming blood of the grape
We have now abandoned the God that made us
And rejected the Rock our Savior

We made him jealous with our foreign gods
The Lord saw this and rejected us
For we are a perverse generation
Children who are unfaithful

HATRED
(music: Slabaugh/ lyrics: Rogers)

Distress and anguish fill you with terror
They overwhelm you
Like a king poised to attack
You shake you fist at god
Plot yourself against the Almighty
Defiantly charging against him
with a thick, strong shield

Don't deceive yourself
By trusting what is worthless
for you will get
Nothing in return

You have bound me O' Satan
God assails me and tears me in his anger
And gnashes his teeth at me
My opponent glares his eyes towards me

You will not escape from the Darkness
A flame will writhe your shoots
And he of God's mouth will carry you away
Before your time you will be paid in full

The time has come
To face your fate
The time is here
For all that awaits

Enter the Pit
Fuel the raging fire
Enter the Pit
Tasting all the hatred

SHADOW OF DEATH
(music:Slabaugh/ lyrics: Rogers)

May the day of my pain perish
That day may it turn to darkness
May God above not care about it
May no light shine upon it
may its morning stars grow dark
May it wait for daylight in vain
And not see the first rays of dawn

chorus
May darkness and shadows
Claim it once more
May a cloud settle over it
My blackness overwhelm its light

That night may the darkness seize it
May no shout of joy be heard from it
May those who curse days curse that day
Those who are ready to rouse Leviathan

Why was it not buried in the ground
Like a stillborn child
Like an infant who never saw the light of day
What i feared has come upon me

I have no peace
No quietness
No rest
But only turmoil

JUSTIFIED LIE
(music: Slabaugh/ lyrics: A. Fry)

I cannot hide behind this window
I cannot force this belief on myself
I cannot be one of your army
I stand alone amongst you

I can't hate this way
I can't sedate what you say
Your stance so tall above
High, mighty, and proud
So proud you that you smash
Your people to the ground
So right
With every last word
A voice so clear
It clots the ears
With a message unheard
carried on the light wings

Chorus
In any way you can
You try to justify this lie
you can't justify this lie
You try to save your life
You try to justify this life
You can't justify this life

My mind so blank
So empty this mortal shell
It burns to think
It burns like the fires of hell
You made me fray
Tore my soul away
With your strange disease
I'm not one with your beliefs

The mind's greed you crave
It never goes away
To pain you are a slave
It never goes away

A denial of life
In your loss of faith
We torture ourselves
For immortal burning grace
Its the way of man
To cleanse and filter the sand
Each time we get a chance
We give in to circumstance
