Disciple Album

Build it up, I’ll tear it down
My finger in the strings connected to your hands
I dance the mockery, a theme of decadence
Now I am sinking in this violence
This time, emancipation is my right

This is what I want, for you to die
This is what I want, to be alive

Scene of complacency, an apathetic mind
But when it’s brought to light, I see a king on a borrowed throne
Right now, the violence taking over
This time, regimes are changing in my mind

I’m so sorry, my old friend, I’m leaving you tonight
So caught in this moment, the last breath of your life

A little one that’s full of innocence
He doesn’t know that something’s out of place
Another one dreams murder all night
He’s been living full of hatred all his life

Well, I guess it’s always been this way
A world that’s full of love and hate
Oh God, but will it stay this way?
So much love, so much hate

It goes on and on and on around and again

A mother is willing to give her life
While another one throws away her child
A son stands and he turns the other cheek
While another one spits in a face while it bleeds

This evil that’s within is hiding in our skin
What are we? When will we?
Why are we still wondering?

Oh Jesus, I can’t take the hate anymore
Save us from ourselves before
We go on and on and on around and again

It’s not found in throwing roses on a grave
Or in the cursed bottom of a bottled plague
It wasn’t in the torment that will never fade
But I see the truth now

This was my hell living without You here
Even Heaven is hell if somehow You were not there
If You were not there

It wasn’t in the flames that won’t stop burning
Or within a fire that is never quenched
It wasn’t in the brokenness of all my failings
But I see the truth now

Lord, I need to breathe You
Drink You, dream You
Nothing ever will compare
Need to breathe You, drink You
Dream You, need You

What is all this? The question I am asking
It’s not what is I feel like I was promised

This hurts, this leaves a lasting laceration
I can’t believe that this is what my faith was for

The scars remain, reminds of pain
The scars remain

When I see You, I see scars that are matching
When I see You, I see scars that are matching
I know what I’m feeling
You are feeling scars remaining through
When I see You, I see scars

My feet will sink in this quicksand around me
Unless Something or Someone comes to save me

When the lights go up and the game is on
Are you ready for me? ‘Cause I’m ready for you
When the bell rings out and the fight is on
Are you ready for me? ‘Cause I’m ready for you

It’s time for us to start throwing down
Take a look and see who’s standing now

Didn’t even know that you and I were cross
Until a sneak attack from the weak side
Unaware that we were in a fight
I guess that’s part of the problem, but guess what

Say what you want to say about me
Throw up what you want to throw up at me
But when you mess with those that are around me
That’s when you and I will have a problem

I’m not afraid of loving my enemies
Turning the other cheek
Blessing those that would curse me
I honestly want peace with you
But when you come against my country
When you come against my family
You try to destroy my people
I can’t just stand by
There’s no way that I can stand by
This time, I will not stand by
I am coming, and if I come, then pain is coming with me
I’m coming, and pain will be with me

All I see inside is a longing for something that’s outside
This understanding of the sun breaking open
And it shines over me, shines over me

I can see the order in the way
That the oceans rise and roll out again
I can see the order in the way
That the flowers die to bloom again

And I know that there is Something out there
Watching everything
I know there’s Something out there
Even if I can’t see
I know that there is Someone out there
Watching over me
I know there’s Someone out there

Silence in this night
A million ballads to something far from sight
With an unspoken name
And my reflection, image from some other time
Some other time

Even though I can’t see
The fingerprints are everywhere

You break the glass, try to hide your face
Recorded lines that just will not erase
And buried in your loss of innocence
You wonder if you’ll find it again

Was I there for the worst of all your pain?
And was I there when your blue skies ran away?
Was I there when the rains were flooding you off your feet?
Those were My tears falling down for you, falling down for you

I’m the One that you’ve been looking for
I’m the One that you’ve been waiting for
I’ve had My eyes on you ever since you were born
I will love you after the rain falls down
I will love you after the sun goes out
I’ll have My eyes on you after the world is no more

Did I arrange the light of your first day?
Did I create the rhythm your heart makes?
Could you believe when your candle starts to fade?
I want to be the One that you believe
Could take it all away, take your heart away

Isn’t My life a clear sign since I have crossed over this chasm
To fill the space between Me and you?
And I will do it all over again
Just look for Me, just wait for Me

The One you’ve been looking for
The One you’ve been waiting for
You won’t have to look anymore

Sometimes, it gets hard upon this beaten road
Sometimes, I am tempted just to walk alone

But I hear Your words out of my mouth
Wanting, expecting that
The seeds that I’ve sown this time
I’ll reap in a short while

I’ll run and not grow weak
Walk and will not faint
Climb the highest mountain to dive off
And I’ll fly high on
I’ll fly high on broken wings

All I desire is everything that You are
Strength is renewed as I wait on You, God

The body’s failing, and my heart is breaking
Hell is awakened, the souls it’s taking
We’re taking back where they belong
You cannot make us stop
You’ll never make us stop
It’s not about the songs, it’s about our God

Who will stand and rise against injustice?
Take up the cause of the unwanted ones?
Who will stand to fight against us?

We live, we fight
We live, we die
We fight for love

Church windows breaking from people living outside the walls
The bride must be ready for Jesus’ imminent return

I remember days gone by and what it was first like
To never think that it could end
Don’t know what we were thinking
And I reflect upon that night
When we would breathe for the first time
To see the hands raised high to the One we’d give our lives

To this day, I wouldn’t change a single thing
Except mistakes that separate
To feel again the reason in
What we give the part the role in which we live

I feel like something busting
Breaking out of its own skin
I feel this child escaping outside of the heart of an old man
I feel like something ripping and tearing off this callous
Revealing me
I never want it to end
This old feeling we’re feeling again

Through seasons of it all, there were deserts that would fall
And there were peaks that we would climb
But in the valley’s where we shined
We couldn’t dream a better dream
The almighty call our name and do something with nothing
And I give purpose to this melody

Like a moon that tries to hide away
But the dawn will catch it with the day
Like an angry son that’s moving on
But he will never forget his home

Feel this grace shining in
There’s nowhere that You’ve not
Walked with me on, carried me on

There is nowhere I can go, even in the depths of the sea
You’re not too far away
When I wake, when I sleep
You are capturing me with a love that knows no end at all
Like a desert that is dead and dry, but the river fills it up in time
Like a daughter that’s been thrown away
Then is adopted by a kinder face
