Before the waves and endless sand
Before the sounds and views
I stood beside the ancient throne
And only thought of you
Beyond the furthest reach of space
Beyond the chains of time
With words you cannot understand
I sought to make you mine
The angels now prepare their hands
My servants strings theirs bows
I look upon this shapeless form
Your heartbeat gently glows...

Out of stillness calling into life
In safety of unshadowed night
In glory - that pure, first light
Sunrise; the first to greet the eve
When wisdom sang into the sea
Creation; resting in belief
The snowfall through the sweet, chilled air
Over canyons, leaping unaware
Through the river running
In the breaking and deception of your hearts
The tenderness; the apple of His eye
From foundation; the Word to heal the wound
I AM - beyond distance and time
Where the heavens stretch forever from His hand
The Creator; beginning and the end
Now we stand on the edge
Small, with fleeting breath
Hear the thunder crash
Feel the ocean surge
See the mountain sway
WHEN IT ALL FALLS AWAY. . .
His word will stand

You've got it wrong - it's not like that
I'm with you; I can change that
We're in this together
Listen to me
Talk with me, dine with me
Walk with me, die with me
I'll remind you every time you listen
I will give you rocks that glisten
I will give you what you want
I'll keep it in your head until it taunts
Walk with me, talk with me
Dine with me, die with me
Burn your skin, and you'll curse His name
Come with me and we'll burn again
Talk with me, dine with me
Walk with me; and die with me
What is your desire, you can have it now
What is the lust clawing at your skull
Love me and you can have it all
Fall with me Crawl with me
Your name in lights for all to see
Be mesmerized, cauterized
Wooed, beguiled
In lies, demise
Get ready to die

There are thorns now creeping the vines of my field
As I claw at the dirt to sustain
Every day I persist, while the earth resists
I wipe the sweat from my brow
. . . its in the land. . .
There is a voice that murmurs and lures me to believe
That deceit is not a lie
It caresses my thoughts till my skin crawls
It wont go away. . .
. . . its in my head
Theres a strain that has fallen and dissipated
In the deep and the shallow
It seeps through my skin and into the marrow
And it drains my life
. . . its in my blood
Theres an agony in the woman you gave me
As she labors to bring forth my child
Her piercing screams of a skull-crushing pain
As she digs her heels with the strain
- now its in my child
Theres an ache that wakes me and takes my breath -
A memory, before we were deceived;
I walked with God, next to Eve
Now I cant go back,
Its in my heart
This reality of what will come
A drifting and longing life
A debt unpaid like an endless tomb
And now I go to die
Its in everything

It came - the fall of man
When the forest spurned the land
Now blood spills from our veins
As our flesh claws at the reigns
It cradles all our fears
Turns secrets into spears
The fire burns our hand
As the lion eats the lamb
But when I’m through with you
The only thing you’ll feel is my betrayal
And when I’m through with you
The only thing you’ll steal is my denial
The earth rejects my plow
As my will rejects You now
And naked though I came
The choice was mine the same
How do I dispel
Adam’s piercing Knell?
The point beyond the break
The club, the vow, the snake

Where are the avenues?
The better views, the subtle hues?
Caffeine and nicotine
Amphetamines, the guillotine
It’s too late to trust
In laughter and lust
It’s too late to turn
We’re too wet to burn
It’s too late to run
Our bodies are numb
Where are the everglades?
The palisades, the promenade
Huffing the gasoline
The kerosene, my guillotine
Caffeine and nicotine
Amphetamines, the guillotine

He was order when order was unknown
Without border, the curves of time were born
And what he felt for them was good
And what he built in them was life
And when their hearts are beating perfectly in time
They will know a love that won’t be satisfied
The analemma
Pointed to the western Sun
Shining like a holy lantern on the things we've done
In the movement, the gears would turn around
And a pendant would hold the stem and crown
And what he felt for them was good
And what he built in them was life
And when their legs are running perfectly in time
They will find a love that won't be satisfied
And what he feels for us is good
And what he built in us was life
And when our hearts are fading just beyond our time
We will reach a love that finally satisfies

From the root I’m the Advocate
Beyond the reach of time
As you dance, as you celebrate
I move to breach the line
And it’s true
There’s no limit to my love
You refuse
As the raven kills the dove
So I’m coming down
You need proof I’m the Advocate
Were you waiting for a crown?
I will speak, I will resonate
As the bodies hit the ground
And it’s true
There’s a wall between the worlds
Breaking through is my body now unfurled
And it’s coming down
I am on and on
And you know it...
From the fall to the Advocate
The luster and the lie
It was clear from the taste of bitter wine
And the nails that would shatter the divine
I’m not coming down

Heaven walks, heaven rages
People talk, nothing changes
I'm a lion, I'm Orion, but I'm a lotus tonight
Are we dust? Are we ageless?
See the flocks, see the faceless
Are we sparks? Are we endless?
You should come, You should end this
If i talk, can I change this?
Give your love to me
Give your heart to me
Give your light to me
Give your word to me

Running out to the edge of the forest
Far away from the stench and the flies
They're killing off the sick and the poorest
Here we are on the brink of assimilation
Swimming out to the edge of the ocean
Far away from the war and the lies
Waking up to another explosion
He we are on the brink of annihilation
To wonder
To stand in awe
The fever
The end of law
Fare thee well to the end of a nation
I can see the signs in the skies
I can feel it shake the foundation
Here we are on the brink of our liberation
To wonder
To stand in awe
The power
The Holy Law

There’s something in the water
Something in the air
I feel it in the fire
And I see you there
We were only children
When we were saved
Lifted from the cauldrons
To the love we craved
But who are we to plead with thee?
To beg for mercy?
The birds and beasts betray the coming
And I hear you whisper “Do you love me?"
Yes I do, more than ever...
The crumbling of the mountains
The trembling earth
The everlasting fountain
The virgin birth
But why should we be saved by thee?
This wretched species...
But who are we to stand with thee?
The El-Shaddai
The heart of man betrays the coming
And I hear you whisper "Are you ready?"
Yes I am, more than ever
