Lyrics


1. UR OF THE CHALDEANS

(Instrumental)


2. SHINAR

So you rise, look to the stars
In this land undone by your doing
Take what you want, blood on the ground
Everything was struck down before you

Shinar

There you stand, on your own
In the fire, tell me, how does it feel?
Go your way, kings of the earth
I was, only trying to save you

Shinar


3. OUT OF THE STORM

Who is this that darkens my counsel with words without knowledge?
Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
And you shall answer me.

Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
On what were its footings set,
Or who laid its cornerstone--
While the morning stars sang together
And all the angels shouted for joy?


4. LIE

Don't lie to me
Burn the halls of rulers to be
Don't take my home
Like the Waco war and the people next door

Please
All the darkness, all around you
Doesn't change what's true

Don't lie my foe
Dead men guard the secrets they know
Don't look my way
Multiply the words that you say

Please
All the madness that surrounds you
Doesn't change what's true

Shoot back, soldier, until the war is won
Must be the enemy anyway, on the other side of your gun
Shoot back, soldier, before you die
Must be the enemy anyway
Because those hostile bullets don't lie

Don't lie to me
As you have me down on my knees
Don't hide the dead
You watched the film but I was there

Please
All the sadness trails behind you
It doesn't change what's true

Shoot back, soldier, until the war is won
Must be the enemy anyway, on the other side of your gun
Shoot back, soldier, before you die
Must be the enemy anyway
Because those hostile bullets don't lie


5. SUNDAY MOURNING

Sun, rise today, like the sunrise long ago
This day, we say goodbye, you are going home
Days begin, like grains of sand, falling
Through the hourglass, held in God's hand

Somewhere the days are all brand new
Sunday mourning

Hiding from the thought, that someday you'd be gone
We may never understand until we meet again above
I never thought the tears would fall so easy to the ground
Before the day, before the dawn, the pain would be set free

Somewhere the days are all brand new
Sunday mourning


6. ASPIRE TO HEAVEN

(Instrumental)


7. O COME, O COME, EMMANUEL

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them victory over the grave

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
