Let us now look upon, a situation from to learn
Judas and the thief, one to heaven, one to burn
Not too long ago, and in a land not far away
One was saved one was lost, this is history

Judas was religious, stay away from that mask
The thief was truly guilty, and here is where it's at
Once you understand that, guilty before God all we are
You can receive forgiveness, in repentance at the cross

Judas was never a true friend, just pushing his own glory
Smiling in your face, stabbing you in the back, "doing this for God" is his
story
Sitting on that paper throne, elevated oh so high
Well now the match's been lit, later days to the empire of lies

The thief on the other hand knew a wrong from a right
Doing wrong much of the time and sometimes doing right
But he recognized the truth when he spoke to Jesus Christ
His deeds had nothing to do with it, he'd never earn heaven as a right

The damnation of Judas and the Salvation of the thief

As for Judas in the scheme of things, as this point it's just a matter of
time
Hanging from the rope he spoke, the witness does not lie
The facts are in and the veredicts out - and it cannot be denied
He sealed his fate with and act of friendship - betrayer - no friend of mine

The thief in the situation, knowing he deserved to die
Called out to Immanuel, Lord remember I
I come to you, with nothing more than the wretched man I am
Guilty in my iniquities deserving only to be damned

It's for your sins I am Crucified, the Spirit confirmed time and again
The thief in his pain had joy in his heart - forgiveness it was his
On his way to heaven he still had to deal the situation
Understand that you bring nothing in repentance which merits salvation

The damnation of Judas and the Salvation of the thief

03 Released Upon The Earth

Artistic expressions, of revealed reality
Truly a useful tool, use them such and see
Explain the dark ones so full of lies
They are but shadows and soon to die

They didn't realize time's on our side
Evil would have it, we'd succumb to demise
"As the Father sent me, I send you"
Occupy

Released upon the earth
Occupy
We'll Occupy
Released upon the earth

04 Human Dark Potential

Why?

What is it that makes them snap?
Where was the line crossed at?

To see the face looking so docile
As they walk to their sentance of death

I see the human dark potential
This one's captured, how many are not?

Who removed all the locks?
Who could have known it was a time-bomb not just a clock?

To hear the madness of what's taken place
Stronger than fiction the facts slap the face

There's Human Dark Potential - Revealing itself everyday

One thing I know for sure is this
It matters just who you reach here in this city

Everywhere I go the papers say the same
Someone's good neighbor has flipped rabbid insane

I see it, Human Dark Potential
What crazy thoughts are going through peoples minds?

It matters what you do for Christ - all around you potential lies

Either light or darkness will fill the life of around you, which is it?

It is the human dark potential
Look what can happen when it's replaced by light

Dahmer, Ramirez - and their kind
Darwin and Marx, blind leading the blind

I was in Milwaukee in 1989
How I wish I'd led Jeffery to Christ

Realize, there's human dark potential
The man worked making candy

Only the lifted one free's the captive
The best psycology without Him produces death

05 Instruments Of Death

Given the time to repent they fail to reply
To the just and Holy one they now await to die
God's enemies will lick the dust, a fact they fully deny
He holds them in derision, in vain they rage against the Christ

Instruments of death

They set their face against His way, inward they are destruction
Mock insults they do hurl, they care not for the instruction

They's answer for their every word unless they turn to Him
He wait's for them in mercy before the slaying begins
He bends the bow and also prepares the instruments of death
He'll use in the final war, give up before it begins

Instruments of death

They set their face against His way, inward they are destruction
Mock insults they do hurl, they care not for the instruction

God is a just judge, angry with the wicked every day
If you do not turn back you will face the day
When you stand before Him in a fear you can't conceive
He beckons you to check the facts so that you will believe

We ask not that you take some blind leap in the dark
Our faith is based on fact, God doesn't miss the mark
The fact is that He still cares enough to tell you once again
Come into the fold, join the force of God, not to die but to live

06 Lest You Be Judged

I've heard enough of what you claim is sane
The lie you live is not a game
Reality it stays the same
They're your own words you've not been framed

Like Moses striking the second blow
The heart of God you do not know
And by your words you drive others away
From the Cross of Christ - where they'd be saved

Think not there's no account, your time is running out
You can bet without a doubt you'll answer

And you keep judging me with your wicked tongue
And then you say to me judge not lest you be judged
And you keep nailing me for something you've done
And you dare to quote to me, the words from above

I've heard enough, now I must answer you
You lie and steal it's nothing new
A scatterer I see through you
Out for dollar, not the truth

You've said judge not you see, yet you keep judging me
You lie about Christianity, you don't know jack

And you keep judging me with your wicked tongue
And then you say to me, judge not lest you be judged
And you keep nailing me for something I've not done
And that behind by back, lets take it one on one

And you keep judging me - Blinded and you can't see
And you keep judging me - What is and should not be
And you keep judging me
If you want the truth you'll see

07 Out Of Bounds
08 Bishop Of Souls

Alleluiah, God - you are worthy of all praise
Righteousness and honor are your's all the day
As for me, words can't express what my spirit knows as grace
Your mercy, how it strengthens me, in mercy I exist

What am I that you should mind, yet you've redeemed us by your hand
And who can challenge you in battle, they're crushed to dust on your command
You are the shepherd and also our High Priest
The life and the resurrection, the one who slays the beast

I see - what you've done
I'll tell - everyone
Your way - it is right
I'll Praise - You tonight
I'll be - not ashamed
Your word - I'll proclaim
You are - Lord Most High
You are the...

The King of Kings, if I were a king - I'd give you my crown
Not worthy of the honor all mankind should bow down
As I've said it once before, all will bow anyway
But this ones from your servant, Lord be honored - this I pray

You are he who judges the earth, we rejoice when we see the vengeance
Brought down on the evil wicked who refuse repentance
We are going to praise the eradication of sin
They'll pour the bowls and vials, tread the winepress - Angels sent

09 Tion

Now I hope you know the lyrics
'Cause that's what's important anyway
These are the words of the Most High God
Understand what He says
The rock below is solid so be sure you stand and you wont fall
Under the blows of the hypocrite, the cultist, or the law

Now I'm tired of hearing "the word's too big"
The Holy Spirit chose them all, move on

What it when you're given righteousness for sin
And you know you don't deserve it?
IMPUTATION
And how do you get in to God's family and then
You are a child of God? Before you weren't
ADOPTATION
And what's word for Holy that blows this notion of hypocrisy down
By the ignorant of doctrine?
CONSECRATION

These aren't Christian "e's"
Learn 'em better than your A,B,C,'s
In your mind cause them be
The Doctrines of Salvation
