Soul Defecation 11:10

Soul Defecation Part 1 Verse1 My walls are crushing My light vanishing Death’s hand is gripping around my mental state Chorus Stare into the sun again Burning your retinas in your head Darkness comforts your sight Misery’s temptation in death Verse 2 My soul is crying But no sound is escaping Chorus In a dark room stands a man A hooded presence vibrating I will lock eyes stare through me Crushing comfort in my chest Verse 3 Hear the call of Holy Land No denial of this plan But Hell is in my head Part 2 Verse 1 As I travel deeper in this pain All will be lost and I will go insane Chorus I’m climbing, scratching, and clawing away Death is reaching, shouting, claiming his own. Abusive thoughts ring, silence all the growing Overtaken, don’t let my candle go Verse 2 As you feel your heart dropping out of your chest And your soul defecating out Chorus I’m climbing, scratching, and clawing away Death is reaching, shouting, claiming his own Abusive thoughts ring, silence all the growing Overtaken, don’t let my candle go Verse 3 An upheaval of pungent mess Destruction of myself lay me to rest Part 3 Verse Follow the light That is high above all Dead inside I die The wind it blows I can feel his might Grasping for All Life His strength will last It has latched to me It’s mine I’ll die Part 4 Verse It tears around my body It wants to extinguish I cling to the Christ

Remove My Eyes Part 1 Verse 1 A new way to face the day My fire has ignited A prophesy enters me And sprouted from my mouth Bridge I feel death Chorus Anxiety has my chest tightened My peace torn away Screaming for it to come back to me This creature is in my way Verse 2 I lay my thoughts to the coals Purifying and purging Pluck my eyes out of socket Now I can plainly see Part 2 Verse 1 The weight of the world comes crushing Feeling my body shut down The magnitude of this darkness is beyond my scale I feel my hands shaking in violence Havoc surging through my blood Bridge I feel the demon growing Verse 2 In him I am suffocating A rage consuming everything Violently whispering Turns to screaming, deafening levels A release is needed, run head first Physical pain is saving Now I lay bleeding Verse 3 It asks that I give to the world desire I refuse its request Informed that now death is the only way And it really makes sense Memories of my loves flashing quickly Spill my blood to save them Part 3 Verse 1 This misery is a lie I don’t wanna die Love is trying to pull me Satan is trying to fool me Reaching out to save my soul I feel death Help Me Now I Feel Life

Voices Verse 1 Oh my child, why did no one help you be set free? Or was it the fact that they themselves were misinformed of me? As I sent the many, few have came back; empty and drained As they stay spiritually fat, heavy and sloth, and greed devours Chorus Look into my eyes You will never lie to me I am the omnipotent God That you can’t even fathom in your dreams Verse 2 My disciple and son, did I not give you proof of faith? I grew the mountains and the trees and raised the clouds and the sea And let you reign over them As sin crept in the world, your kind invited it all in Now, you suffer and die And with all that known, I chose to have you as my own A covenant in blood Chorus Look into my eyes You will never lie to me I am the omnipotent God That you can’t even fathom in your dreams Verse 3 Death’s door is always knocking Constantly beating you Submitting to its lasting hunger Rotting from the inside out Like a cancer spreading A parasite of your blood Chorus The voices were always too loud You could never find peace This whole time peace was calling your name Verse 4 Blind, deaf, and dumb I am not without compassion I scream in heart break Mourning the loss of you Though I know you’re home Your work was not done The loss of your body Will greatly affect those you love Love An absence of light Is in your corner of the world You show as bright as any star Clothed in the beauty of My Son’s blood Covering you in all righteousness It is not your work I have judged you by But My own Verse 5 Perhaps you will remember this story As all time became frozen A tear shoots down the old church’s veil And the dead rose from their graves The most beautiful love and soul Was sent to die for you

I AM 10:24

I AM Intro The aftermath has left me dead Image of a cross above my head Committed treason on my own I sacrificed myself in vain Leaving my family in pain I can’t turn back now Verse 1 Why did you leave us We would have gotten you help You were so important The glue in our fabric Now your head hangs there lifeless Rotating loosely Bridge 1 I wanted you to fly high Now I’ll never rest wondering if I did my best Verse 2 Your son does not sleep Your daughter is never awake I am slipping away A light appears slowly Bridge 2 I feel completely covered Knowing you are blameless And that we will reunite again Verse 3 Stench of death surrounds you Its presence rattling through you Funeral home doors opening Provide a casket with a view Trudging up the hill Lower me into the dirt I hear the shovel dig in As the dirt hits the lid I thought it would bring them peace Look at the destruction I brought them Verse 4 Oh God I cry out to you Please take all of their hands And lift them up to you Please Lord show them the path And light the way All of your love and compassion Will make them complete Verse 5 You know I will My fire burns bright I will cover your mistake in my own blood Life I will breathe into all of them Fear not I will flatten these mountains All things below the sky are mine Nothing moves without my knowledge And I have seen Every event that has and will come to pass Verse 6 Below is not my only domain The very fabric of the universe is my own creation This task you ask of me Will be completed because I am bigger than all The only explanation is to call me by name And that is I AM
