War 03:49
I’m going to war I’m going to war I’m going to war And I never shall return Come on boys step in time Empty pockets battle rhymes Leave everything all behind The rest of you gents sit on your fence Nibble your fingers you sorry dears Your savior is your fears Oh Jesus died no sin to hide The Devil lied it hurt his pride And death where is your sting Cause Jesus rose in victory He asked me will you marry me And I’ll come for you once again Come on boys hoist your sails Life’s a coin heads or tales You never know which one will land The rest of you gents come off your fence It’s time for you to recompense Your maker calls your name The Devil’s been tickling all our ears Screaming all these doubts and fears But his kingdom will soon cave in Our flesh only last untold years Let’s wipe our tears and die to ourselves And die for someone else

I think I'll lose my heart for this one hundred days from now, Never am I strong enough to ever see it out, I might lose my faith in You before the day I die, I might tell You that I love You but I won't look You in the eyes. I made You a promise that I never meant to keep, I'm a doubting Thomas in the midst of my defeat, I'm sinking like a faithless man, I'm drowning in the sea, When my eyes are falling from You You say, "Keep your eyes on Me." I came into Your kingdom but my eyes were stern and cold, I said, "I might pierce Your hands, but You can't have my soul." Then I went into Your temple, now I'm steeling all Your gold, But You're loving and forgiving, or so I am told.

Hold My Soul 04:00

Riverbed 03:09
Lay my body in a riverbed, Close my eyes and rest my head, I'll be left alone and left for dead, Until my soul finds sleep again, Just lay my body in a riverbed. Someone took my heart from me, She left me cold and left me weak, I get tired but I don't sleep, I can hope but I can't dream, Cause someone took my heart from me. How long will my spirit wait? How long will I lie awake? My spirit bends and my body breaks, But how long will I lie awake?

I Believe 04:41
The trees are in bloom I fall asleep in the other room I’ve got cracks in my window I can’t see the beauty on the other side So oh well Might as well through it all away These doubts aren’t gettin any smaller I’m growin older I believe Help my unbelieving heart I believe Help my unbelieving heart But even the demons, they believe And I’m still trembling What is the difference between us Who wears the darkness
