1: "Steady As The Sea"

I am the first you are likely to see
I rise like a tide, swelling over the sea
Like a pillar of strength bent on toppling
See, I'm steady as can be

My footing sure to fail
All my lusting to no avail
Tearing holes in my own sail
Going nowhere

Waves of indecision come from me
Directed by the wind, my symphony
Everything is crashing around me
See, I'm steady as the sea

My footing sure to fail
All my lusting to no avail
Tearing holes in my own sail
Going nowhere

All is shifting
Or maybe it's drifting from me
Faces pass
As I clasp what's left of my dignity
Skipping stones
Built this throne I am sitting
I'm slipping

2: "Instruments Of Cruelty"

Torturous
Instruments
Blades that rust
Like blood in dust
Leaving misery

I will not live, I will not live in that place
Overturned the urn and shattered the vase
I will not join, I will not join with your ranks
Dishonor and disgrace, your assembly will shatter, shatter

Gouging spears
And swords that pierce
Your war is fierce
You will hear no cheers
For your victory

I will not live, I will not live in that place
Overturned the urn and shattered the vase
I will not join, I will not join with your ranks
Dishonor and disgrace, your assembly will shatter, shatter

I will not live, I will not live in that place
Overturned the urn, you have shattered the vase
I will not join, I will not join with your ranks
Dishonor and disgrace, your assembly will shatter, shatter
Divided and scattered

3: "Divide & Scatter (Let Not My Soul)"

He has seen
The wrath that you weave
Every curse that you breathe
He is not happy
Though you clean
The blood off your sheath
You are rotting beneath
He is not laughing

He is singing

Let not my soul, be united
Let not my soul, be united
May their council, be divided
And scattered

He has seen
The wrath that you weave
Every curse that you breathe
He is not happy
Though you clean
The blood off your sheath
You are rotting beneath
He is not laughing

He is singing

Let not my soul, be united
Let not my soul, be united
May their council, be divided
And scattered

Divide, this darkness from inside
Scatter, this wickedness and pride
He will divide and scatter your lives
Though He longs to dwell by your side

He is lamenting

Let not my soul, be united
Let not my soul, be united
May their council, be divided
And scattered

4: "The Lion"

I am the lion
I am the offense
And from my line
Will run the Vine
With teeth of white
And eyes like wine

I am the lion
I am the offense
And from my line
Will run the Vine
With teeth of white
And eyes like wine

Hand upon your neck
I won't demand, won't demand your respect
Still you will bow and praise
Every knee in every tongue will say

I am the lion
I am the offense
And from my line
Will run the Vine
With teeth of white
And eyes like wine

Blood runs down my side
Laying down my life, laying down my pride
Coming up from the kill
When death is destroyed, I will have my fill

I am the lion
I am the offense
And from my line
Will run the Vine
With teeth of white
And eyes like wine

All before me
My seed, warriors and kings
Raising the mountains, moving the seas
Shifting the tides, only life comes from me
I Am
I Am

I Am, the Lion
I Am, the Lion
I Am, the Lion

5: "House Light"

Am I just a blip on the radar
Is the captain approaching me
Sand and tides get in my eyes
And I blink

Am I just a light in a far off tower
You could run a line or run aground
A distant savior if you'd drop your anchor
Or drown

Don't count on me
But follow the beams
Erupting from inside
It's light I bleed
It's washing over

Am I the place you make land
Asleep in my harbor, a haven
The feeding breast where ships do rest
Again

Don't count on me
But follow the beams
Erupting from inside
It's light I bleed
It's washing over

I house light
I house light
Brilliant and fervent and bright
My house is order
Adjoining borders
In the night

6: "Two Burdens"

I came upon a beautiful land
And I was burdened by the joy that I felt
When from my hand, like grains of sand
That vision of beauty did melt

So I put my feet in front of me
A shoulder's width apart
And did not grieve the sigh I breathed
I carried that yoke upon my heart

Then I bent down and felt my crown
Descending from my head
And heard inside, "Maybe death to pride,
Could bring up life instead."

So I laid to rest my puffed up chest
Resolved to lay it all
For I am but man, captive of this land
Let that rain of mercy fall

You swallowed up the fear in me
I'm no longer slave to slavery
So I took up the plow and dug in deep
When there's nothing left in me
There's everything

7: "The Law Upheld"

With a gavel in hand
You will judge a nation
Under your command
The law upheld
With a prudent eye
And careful examination
You will lead the blind
You will judge yourself

Every trespass, won't pass
Without due process
Like a snake's lash from the tall grass
Subduing the lawless

With a heel in your mouth
You'll devour injustice
A barreling beast
With its rider in tow
With a mighty crash
He will lay where the dust is
Dead on the path
Overthrown

Every trespass, won't pass
Without due process
Like a snake's lash from the tall grass
Subduing the lawless
On that path, so winding and wide
Winning their minds to the other side

With a gavel in hand
You will judge a nation
O Lord, I have waited for Your salvation!

8: "Recompense"

Whatever you throw (Whatever you throw)
I'll throw it back (I'll throw it back)
A hundred fold (A hundred fold)
You can count on that (You can count on that)
Whatever you hold (Whatever you hold)
I'll take tit for tat (I'll take tit for tat)
Whatever you hold
I won't hold back

Back, back

Back against the wall
And all surrounding
Even though you're standing tall
It won't be long
Long, long
Long before you came
And spread your God-forsaken name
To take my own
This was my home

Whatever you have (Whatever you have)
Is what you lack (Is what you lack)
Poised for war (Poised for war)
Or a heart attack (Or a heart attack)
Live by the sword (Live by the sword)
Die by the shield you cracked (Die by the shield you cracked)
Live by your word
Die to your own fact

Back against the wall
And all surrounding
Even though you're standing tall
It won't be long
Long, long
Long before you came
And spread your God-forsaken name
To take my own
This was my home

Nothing you deal, that won't be dealt
Nothing I feel, that won't be felt
Steel against steel, you will be smelt
This fire is real, you fanned it yourself

Back against the wall
And all surrounding
Even though you're standing tall
You're only standing
Long, long
Long before you came
And spread your God-forsaken name
To take my own
This was my home

9: "Born And Bred"

Rising like leaven 'round 'leven o' clock
We bake in the high noon sun as we talk
About diamond rings and dainty things
Born and bred for such gatherings

We sit around and lounge for hours
And loaf around in the flowers
We've got the dough to live like so
We're wonder bread-winners, you know

And that is our slice of life, you could say
Powdered wigs upon heads of grain
And we'd love it at least, if you'd stay for a feast
We've had guests far as west is to yeast

10: "Run Free"

Let the words run free
Let the words run free

Dear, you dance
Like a deer would prance
So light and gracefully
Let your words
Be likewise heard
As you're speaking them to me

Let the words run free
You're beautiful, beautiful
Let the words run free
You're beautiful, beautiful, baby

Dear, your voice
Such a lovely noise
Like the cooing of a dove
That gentle sound
It leaps and bounds
O'er lofty branches above

Let the words run free
You're beautiful, beautiful
Let the words run free
You're beautiful, beautiful, baby

11: "Everlasting Hills"

High upon the hills You shine on me
And I know You even still in the valleys
Inescapable light, You've shone
Guiding me home
The depths of the love You've shown
Still unknown

They have hated me
But You have strengthened me
You have not forsaken me
You never will
And Your glory shines
From Your face to mine
It reminds me I'm
Divided still
For Your everlasting hills

High above the earth You've counted me
As one of Your own, though I am nothing
Indescribable power, I've seen
Like out of a dream
How blessed, how undeserving
How You've set me free!

They have hated me
But You have strengthened me
You have not forsaken me
You never will
And Your glory shines
From Your face to mine
It reminds me I'm
Divided still
For Your everlasting hills

Over the wall
Over the mountains
That used to seem so tall
You have carried me
Though they buried me
They took their shots
But lo, I did not fall

They have hated me
But You have strengthened me
You have not forsaken me
You never will
And Your glory shines
From Your face to mine
It reminds me I'm
Divided still
For Your everlasting hills

12: "So The Last"

In the morning you devour your prey
The works of your hand on full display
Count the spoils when the sun has gone away
Treasure stored in a different place
Treasure stored in a distant place

So the last will find their place
A little bit of fire, a little pure desire
The last, like the last rays
Of this dying world will fade away

In the pain you won't be dismayed
You will rise on the tide that the others made
Cause your hands have held and your eyes have stayed
You will stay the course that your fathers paved
You will rise on the tide that your brothers made

So the last will find their place
A little bit of fire, a little pure desire
The last, like the last rays
Of this dying world will fade away

You are ravenous
You are a ravenous wolf

So the last will be first
This is my part, these are my parting words
The same part the seas, now they're yours
They will not fade
They will not fade
