Trembling in the shadow of your creation
Your knees grow weak Watch my eyes beam with gold And you’ll keep coming back If you fixate your desire upon me You’ll give me breath with your lungs Feed me living! I am what you fashioned Your praise gives me power With it I'll devour you 02. Bad Blood Music & lyrics by Phinehas
Grieve that your body’s so worm-eaten inside
Crawling with infection, fed by your lies Drop into the pit you dug with your pride Now you’re nothing but a slave You polish yourself As if you were a monument Reaching high like a tower to hell And the ground concedes Pulled from the earth like rotting roots Purge the demons draining your veins Pride in your heart deceives you Dragged from the depths of a dying world Purge the demons draining your veins Pride in your heart deceives you Keep your teeth before your tongue Or you’ll claw for divinity Your filthy rags: a disgusting crown The offspring of an unhealed wound You wear your skin like a scoured corpse After you heave you return like a dog Pulled from the earth like rotting roots Purge the demons draining your veins Pride in your heart deceives you Dragged from the depths of a dying world Purge the demons draining your veins Pride in your heart deceives you Keep your teeth before your tongue Or you’ll claw for divinity Your filthy rags: a disgusting crown The offspring of an unhealed wound You had love But your heart is not your own Grace is not beyond you But you walked away The heavens will expose you Hell-bent on destruction Hell-bent on escape Show us there’s nowhere to hide Show us fear 03. A Pattern In Pain Music & lyrics by Phinehas
As I charge the bloody fields
Waiting for your hands to pierce the depths The world is stirring Yet you keep silent to me This battle shakes the ground But your voice could split the earth The world is stirring Yet you keep silent to me Eternity will never be long enough with you When every step I take feels so worn If heralds of glory sing The minute life begins to fade Then death is just a bridge between us See the enemy line the hills So hide my fears from me The world is stirring Yet you keep silent to me Like a burning wound it kills me That I haven't heard you in years The world is stirring Yet you keep silent Eternity will never be long enough with you When every step I take feels so worn If heralds of glory sing The minute life begins to fade Then death is just a bridge between us All I am is a scar-laden body >From those years you were gone Now You appear to me Faced with suffering death You restore this porous heart that bleeds Tvery time it beats Your suture lives in me There must be something You wished me to see A pattern in this pain I see a pattern I see You in this pain I've waited for years For what a brush with death has shown me I will trust in Your grace That speaks of the end As my life begins to fade I know Your blood was the bridge The bridge between us Your blood was the bridge between us Your blood (Your blood was the bridge between us) Your blood (Your blood was the bridge between us) Your blood (Your blood was the bridge between us) Your blood 04. I Am The Lion Music & lyrics by Phinehas
Son of mine!
Can you hear the sound Hear the sound of this repetition as clockwork I'm always peeling back your skin To rip the legions from your heart Every scar you leave yourself Is a jewel in the making I would give new passion Yet you've turned your back Like a devil of details (Cut your throat) You're so addicted You'll swing the hammer I'll turn your nails to gold Like a devil of details You're so addicted You'll swing the hammer I'll turn your nails to gold You will know My voice When the hair on your neck stands up I opened this door And I will bring the end All gives way and all will fall To their knees and beg for grace Son of Mine, these letters I swear have not been burnt My heart, a child Trembling in sight of his wake (Trembling in sight of his wake) Is longing to rest in the hollow Hollow of Your hand I know now what it is to be helpless Like a foot on my neck to the ground I'm longing to rest in the hollow Hollow of Your hand Here I am I await you You will know My voice Here I am My heart, a child Trembling in sight of his wake (Trembling in sight of his wake) Is longing to rest in the hollow Hollow of Your hand I know now what it is to be helpless Like a foot on my neck to the ground I'm longing to rest in the hollow Hollow of Your hand Hollow (hollow) of Your hand I am the Lion! Clear the path I am the Lion You brood of snakes I am the Lion 05. From One End Of The Sky To The Other Music & lyrics by Phinehas
Part the dark sky
That keeps me from Your eyes Even as the darkness descends My cry came to Your ears As my heroes fail me They leave me to fend on my own My cry came to Your ears The earth withers beneath me I'm always looking towards the clouds I know we are not alone Can't help but feel You in my bones When all is dead and gone Your love will still remain From one end of the sky to the other You burn your banner Cords of the grave Snares of death Cannot take me from You I see the eyes of the empty They form an eclipse above me Until I find Safety in Your memory Safety in Your memory Safety in Your memory Safety in the memory Of Your faithfulness Bright lights are breaking through the sky Dark clouds are pouring from Your feet The seas and valleys all run dry So reach through the sky and capture me My cry came to Your ears (Bright lights are breaking through the sky) Dark clouds are pouring from Your feet Your love saved no mercy for Yourself Reach through the sky and capture me! The earth withers beneath me I'm always looking towards the clouds I know we are not alone Can't help but feel You in my bones When all is dead and gone Your love will still remain From one end of the sky to the other You burn your banner The earth withers beneath me I'm always looking towards the clouds I know we are not alone Can't help but feel You in my... Bones 06. Legacy Music & lyrics by Phinehas

07. Crowns Music & lyrics by Phinehas
Draw your depiction
Stars become scars in the palm of Your hand Bridged by blood Your blood paints the paragon of unrequited love (unrequited love) Do you remember pain followed by reassurance And the light shining through Bearing the poise of a Redeemer Choking the shadows defeating death Providence: Laid out before us Father’s arms Reaching as The nations will hear a new song As we’re lead to the water The nations will hear a new song As we’re lead to the water Give us discernment Doors that glow at the sound Of forerunners’ words (forerunners' words) We are empty Until you sit at the throne of our hearts Break us free Unshackled from our dire condition We have hope Kings of earth, bow down Lose your crowns Kings of earth, bow down Lose your crowns Bow! The nations will hear a new song As we’re lead to the water The nations will hear a new song Of rebirth Of rebirth The nations will hear... The nations will hear... The nations will hear a new song The nations will hear a new song As we're lead to the water A new song... A new song... 08. The Wishing Well Music & lyrics by Phinehas
A thunderstorm a distant shore
I’ve witnessed this before Patience was fleeting If a thousand coins on the ocean floor would bring back love to me I’ll wait forever Fill the sea with dreams of a wishing well Waves bring back my coins to me Drain the deep that teems with my empty shells Slaves of sand still call for me I once had love to give I once had hoped to live The rarest stones will break my bones And golden salt stops my lungs The perfect limbs and haunting eyes Begs the seas: begin to rise Fill the sea with dreams of a wishing well Waves bring back my coins to me Drain the deep that teems with my empty shells Slaves of sand still call for me [Man:] And when these delusions come to fruition Believe you me I'll strangle my self into nothingness, nothingness And be reborn from the dream of a blasphemous fool In my sordid pelt of mold I’ll earn back years to me The god of a nightmare will fall As I take back what is… [Devil:] Mine! Worthless swine Enraptured by my vanity Your soul sank under the weight Of gold you offered me [Man:] A waste of a life, squandered my heart until it rests On the ocean floor, barren Watching the light descend Deeper and deeper A deadening feeling starts to grow in my ribs From where I lie ([Devil:] From where I hide) [Man:] The waves overflow ([Devil:] The snakes overgrown) [Man:] With my blood ([Devil:] With your blood) [Man:] Where are my years? I’ll bleed dry by myself I wish I was someone [Devil:] You wish you were someone else You wish you were someone else You wish you were someone else... 09. My Horses Are Many Music & lyrics by Phinehas
This is what it's like to be on fire
Burning through the coals What a way to release this fury And be consumed A false prophet and a terrible liar Trading money for souls Abomination of a broad horizon You sold them for a frail mansion It's nothing but dust Your recompense and tongue Will be fed down your throat Oh you’d topple the pillars of a church To make yourself a god When you speak, it’s a dead language When you speak, it’s a dead language Forfeit (the grace you never...) preach Forfeit The grace you never preach The grace you never preach The grace you never preach The grace you never preach Limb for limb You’ll be torn to shreds Eye for an eye You'll be torn to shreds Throw it down like you never want to see it again Come on! If this is a slippery slope You’re at the bottom of the ditch Take advantage of the children Yet you call yourself a man If this is a slippery slope You’re at the bottom of the ditch Headlong Headlong Come on! 10. Grace Disguised By Darkness Music & lyrics by Phinehas
I've felt their lives slip through my fingers
Now I watch them circle the drain With breath like the torrent They sink to the bottom I've wasted so many chances My efforts not a drop in the barrel With a body like a boulder I sink to the bottom Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now? Where is your mercy? Cause I've shown my teeth and have had them kicked in one too many times (Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy?) And in my yearning He split the rock, and the water gushed forth A voice keeps yelling, a voice keeps yelling "This is where your proud waves end" My fingers trace lines On the surface I'm consumed The sinking feeling, sinking feeling "This is where your proud waves end" I take my first step And I'm thrown over the edge I tried to walk on the water But now I just swim They slip through my fingers Now I watch them circle the drain With breath like the torrent They sink to the bottom I've wasted so many chances My efforts not a drop in the barrel With a body like a boulder I sink to the bottom Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now? Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now? Where is your mercy? What grace is this that saves me (Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now?) What grace is this that saves me (Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now?) What grace is this that saves me (Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now?) What grace is this that saves me (Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now?) Where is your mercy now? Where? Are you listening, oh God? I scream Your name, Your name, Your name Are You outside of Your wrath, oh God? Your name And amongst the pile of dead I see a light split the water from the heavens And I feel God glowing inside me My heart shakes with the music of the spheres I no longer tremble in fear For Redemption has found me And in Redemption comes the overflow of peace 11. Pendulum Music & lyrics by Phinehas
Bright lights are breaking through the sky
Dark clouds are pouring from your feet The seas and valleys all run dry Reach through the sky and capture me Bright lights are breaking through the sky Dark clouds are pouring from your feet The seas and valleys all run dry Reach through the sky and capture me Bright lights are breaking through the sky Dark clouds are pouring from your feet The seas and valleys all run dry Reach through the sky and capture me Bright lights are breaking through the sky Dark clouds are pouring from your feet The seas and valleys all run dry Reach through the sky and capture me Bright lights are breaking through the sky Dark clouds are pouring from your feet The seas and valleys all run dry Reach through the sky and capture me My heart a child trembling in sight of his wake (Bright lights are breaking through the sky Dark clouds are pouring from your feet) Your blood was the bridge between us (The seas and valleys all run dry Reach through the sky and capture me) (A new song) My heart a child trembling in sight of his wake (Bright lights are breaking through the sky Dark clouds are pouring from your feet) Your blood was the bridge between us (The seas and valleys all run dry Reach through the sky and capture me) (A new song) Reach through the sky and capture me 12. Thegodmachine: The Rider Music & lyrics by Phinehas
Trapped in the trenches
Overrun by idols We've strapped pride to our bones And sealed it with our skin Looking for a way to beat this system We're trading life for a corpse Entangled with the dead And silenced by our guilt We've strapped pride to our bones And sealed it with our skin I've encased myself in a tomb With gods as dead as me Surrounded by stones Of depravity I'm already dead And I'm running out of answers Outrunning all the answers We want more We want more Every failure leaves me deeper in the ground Show me what I've become Oh, hanging skulls on my branches Waist below the earth I was a fool of lust Since the day of my birth Oh my love, I haven't let you go Golden skies will divide to receive your soul Oh my son, you've just begun to grow But we've strapped pride to our bones And sealed it with our skin I've encased myself in a tomb With gods as dead as me Surrounded by stones Of depravity Turn this tomb to dust I'm already dead Oh my love, I haven't let you go Golden skies will divide to receive your soul Oh my son, you've just begun to grow But we've strapped pride to our bones And sealed it with our skin Oh my God, You never let me go Oh my God, You never let me go Oh my God, You never let me go (As lifeless as statues) Oh my God, You never let me go (As fleeting as dust in the air) Oh my God, You never let me go (We've robbed your splendor and replaced it with deceit) Oh my God, You never let me go (Replaced with deceit) Oh my God, You never let me go (Replaced with ruin) Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Like the waves upon the shore (Grace come swiftly) We can't hear you in our hearts anymore (Oh God give us rest in you) Grace come swiftly and drag the axe further towards me (Oh God give us rest in you) The Son of man approaches the hollows (Oh God give us rest in you) He breaks the guilt in one fell swoop (Oh God give us rest in you) Beheading our treachery (Oh God give us rest in you) Oh God would you bring a burning downpour of Your, of Your... Blood I can hear the hordes of ghosts Screaming in Your choir But would Your love make any difference In a graveyard There's no running now His thunder shakes the earth There will be no trace of betrayal All creation trembles before You As You lift Your hand Your will be done 13.
