Hunt Me Down
03:41
|
|||
Somewhere along the lines I heard you’re look’n for me
Ask’n people questions about where I am
Pursuing me regardless of whether I wanted to meet you
Try’n to track me down though I keep on running round
Hunt me down, hunt me down in and out of every town
I will run, I will run until my heart becomes undone
I’m doing all I can to avoid your heavy hand
Dodging every question with a grin
Is it true, is it true that you’ll never stop pursuit
No matter what I don’t and what I do?
Well here I am you’ve got me now make it quick don’t tell me how
Do me in invade my soul take my heart and take my gold
Cause I give up and I give in cause with my best well I can’t win
Take my time, take my dreams, take it all take everything
Take my mind, bend it round put my knees with on the ground
Put Your hand to my head say the words that make me dead
Hunt me down, hunt me down in and out of every town
I won’t run, I won’t run because my hearts becomes undone
Jesus Christ I am yours King of kings Lord of lords
Jesus Christ I am yours I am yours.

Hard Words
05:48
|
|||
hard, words, cut down to the bone
fear, and lies, seem to hide in our souls
to burn, to be cold, it will stay until we’re old
the trials, and the fire, will build the walls of our home
be still and be calm
this won’t last for long
all things they must pass
don’t give in that fast
doubt, and belief, seem to be a part of faith
and strength in myself, will always be my mistake
hard words, cut down to the bone
fear and those lies seem to hide in our souls
be still and be calm
it won’t last for long
all things they must pass
don’t give in that fast

The Captain
04:30
|
|||
All is forgotten I’ve left it by the riverside, I’ve thrown in down the canyon and walked away. I won’t remember nothing from the north unto the south, I’ve buried it six feet down into the ground. All is forgiven rest assured you can take my words, my heart is the anchor of your drifting ship. And I too am The Captain keeping you from certain death, for when I breathe its the wind that blows your sails.
And it sounds like...
When your body crumbles it cracks and creeks beneath your feet and your hair turns white as the crashing waves. For I will never fail you when you come to your hearts end and understanding circumstance is gone. Because all I have given it can’t be given back to me, whats done is done is written its history. For I will continue to be with you when your mind fails even when you don’t feel that I am.
And it sounds like...
All is forgiven rest assured you can take my words, my heart is the anchor of your drifting ship.

Song Of Lament
05:31
|
|||
How many times?
How many days?
How many hard, hard, hard ways?
What did it take?
To learn my mistake?
How many worn, worn, worn souls at stake?
There’s something eluding my sunshine
It’s just not who I expected to be
I didn’t think what happens in the movies would happen to me
But now that the hour has spoken
The strong arms of truth are choking
The lies that have shaped who I am
Now that loves gone and the demons have come
whispering lies, lies, lies all night long
there’s just no more strength to stand on my own
I can no longer hide, hide, hide what’s in my soul
There’s something eluding my sunshine
It’s just not who I expected to be
I didn’t think what happens in the movies would happen to me
But now that the hour has spoken
The strong arms of truth are choking
The lies that have shaped who I was

We Will Rise
04:53
|
|||
When you’re feeling the lie, coming up inside
Like a fire that’s on the rise
When you’re feeling the fears, ringing in your ears
Like a shotgun to your mind
When confusion is loud, and knocking at your door
Come on its time for war
When the battle is on and things become untied
It’s me that’s on your side
We will rise above the clouds
The sun will bring to light our darkest doubts
And we will rise above the clouds
When we don’t know where to go it only goes to show.
We have much to learn
When I don’t know what to say my words get in the way,
And it seems to make things worse
We will rise above the clouds
The sun will bring to light our darkest doubts
And we will rise above the clouds
