A message signed with blood
to the stations of the cross
You may feel powerles and lost
in the coverage of recent coptic killings
And their bodies were seven, and seven and seven
This bloodshed turned the sea red,
but the hope that lives within
will never end up dead
Their roots reaching deep
to the people who heard the good news first
and therefore they understand with an early church
Heartbeat, heavensent
to tell a vision of hope
The transmitter, a spirit that can't be killed
Twenty-one living stones in a kingdom built,
Their creeds are not skindeep
Hope is not dead, maybe just asleep
The light still travels and communicates
in the underground by waves of heavens orbit
This eternal information will never age
this faith will never be slaughtered
Hope is not dead, maybe just asleep.

Battles
02:12
|
|||
This life is short and worth our time,
but we are selfish and we need to get back in line
We fail the strength to do so, we need Your help
So come and rescue, save us from ourselves
Make us stand up straight
Make us walk a straight line
Please hasten your return
Pain and anger will fleet away
There will be no worries left on that day
Please hasten your return,
the pressure is rising and we all feel it burn
Make us stand up straight
Make us walk a straight line
Please hasten your return
But battles must be fought, after all this is a war
every battle, every blow and every fight will leave a scar.

Remember
02:57
|
|||
Remember those who suffered pain,
we never saw and are gone forever
Remember those who tried in vain
to get a grip, get it together
Now they´re gone, and all that´s left are memories
Memories of how it was
and how if could have been
Memories of long forgotten times
and people long not seen
Forgive me when I failed to see
where I could have been of more help
Now they´re gone, and all that´s left are memories
I know it's not the end,
I know we'll meet again.

Set Sail
03:43
|

Why do we measure God by human standards
when it should be the other way around
Those godly standards we try to meet
but in the end we all fail
So let go of the idea you can
and raise your sails
To let your boat be steered
by the guidance of the One who never fails
Don't pride yourself in resisting temptation
You have been spared, is what you should say
I know it's one big an allegation:
you were too weak to walk away
So let go of the idea you can
and raise your sails
To let your boat be steered
by the guidance of the One who never fails
Sometimes I feel better than all of us together,
usually that's the time I fall on my face
But then I realize I'd better humble me forever
and that's the time I crawl into place
Don't open my heart with surgical precision:
Please use brute force and blast away.

No Time To Waste
01:49

Oh yeah, I want some action
I want to get it on tonight
And I can tell, by your reaction:
you´re ready for the fight
Let´s change direction, let´s do it now,
if we make this choice it will work out somehow
It´s time for things of value, things that are true to you
I´m ready to take this step, how about you?
It's time, to change direction
Not later, now is the time
Let's push aside, who are refusing
it's far to important to stand waiting in line
Let´s change direction, let´s do it now,
if we make this choice it will work out somehow
It´s time for things of value, things that are true to you
I´m ready to take this step, how about you?
There is no time to waste.

Dancer! Dancer! Dancer?
03:40
|
|||
I smile and raise my hands
and simply nod along,
but I haven't got the feeling
while I listen to the song
Will somebody tell me
what am I supposed to do?
Will somebody tell me
'cause I haven't got a clue
I'm going through the motions
but I still don't know the dance
I somehow got the feeling
there will be no second chance
I can't be the big example of living a good life:
Messing up pretty much everyday,
that feeling cuts like a knife
Will someone please tell me
what am I supposed to do?
Let's share each others burden
and be made to something new
I'm going through the motions
but I still don't know the dance
I somehow got the feeling
there will be no second chance
I thank the one who made me
for my second chance
If I only learn to follow
He will teach me how to dance.

The Road To Hell
03:07
|
|||
I am my own worst enemy,
I stand in the way of everything
You want to give me,
so help me when I say:
I have to get out of the way,
Very soon I need to get out of the way
I AM THE ONE causing all the pain
I AM THE ONE standing in Your way
I AM THE ONE take me away
I AM THE ONE before I go insane
Decisions I make harm the others on my way
My judgement is not 20/20
I have to get out of the way
please take me out of the way
I AM THE ONE causing all the pain
I AM THE ONE standing in Your way
I AM THE ONE that needs to go away
I AM THE ONE before I go insane
The road to hell is paved with good intentions,
I never meant to fuck up in any way
It goes to show that every fibre of my being
has to be dragged along your way
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Ship On A Raging Sea
03:18
|
|||
I am a ship on a raging sea,
my heart, my soul my mind
Always searching for what I need to be,
and let´s hope I find
The One who´s in control
The One who´s in control
My heart, a scrapbook made of failure,
cannot repair itself, undo it´s damage
But I trust Your hands, You never fail me
Let´s sail this raging sea, and find
The One who´s in control
The One who´s in control
More and more I long to go home
Take me home.
