BELIEVER LYRICS

1. Gone

[K. Bachman / J. Daub / J. Winters]

I feel fine now, the past is gone
The book reads my name, I've been issued a new life

Stupidity flows, the more you speak
Insanity grows, the more I think
Religious ideals, cross parallels

Static thoughts, swallowing me
Crippled mind, all I am is gone

Reality fades, time rules my life
Kaleidoscopic days, lost within cries
Confusion consumes, broken, I bleed

Static thoughts, swallowing me
Broken wing, horrific dream
Crippled mind, all I am is gone

[Rev. 20:12]

2. Future Mind

[K. Bachman / J. Daub / J. Winters]

Living proof of what can be
Escaping from life's tragedy
Learning through another's mind
To catch a glimpse beyond the skies

Mental rush of abstract pain
Never asking what's to gain
Never lost in splintered eyes
Focused on what inward lies

Return to me, I'll return to you
I will not change, to justify you

Living proof of what must be
Broken from the misery
Never lost in present time
Always seeking future mind

Return to me, I'll return to you
I will not change, to justify you

[Mat. 7:3; Malachi 3:6-7]

3. Dimentia

[K. Bachman / J. Daub / J. Winters / D. Mann]

Reason argues the existence of God
If the incarnate was crucified
The dialectical paradox concludes
That God has already died [1]

The very nature of man's independence
Implies accountability for one's actions [2]
My decision to be free or not to be
Reveals the magnitude of my freedom [3]

Where is the wise man
Scholar of this age?
Their dementia calls
From their dimension

Freud argued that God is but mere illusion
Our need for some cosmic comforter
To resolve our deepest childhood neurosis
A belief based wholly on an unfulfilled wish [4]

Or is this world a random occurrence
A change reshuffling of matter?
Particles in motion in a corner of the universe
The origin of life and evolution an accident? [5]

Where is the wise man
Scholar of this age?
Their dementia calls
Leading men to the grave
Where is the wise man
Scholar of this age?
Their dementia calls
From their dimension

[1 Cor 1:19-20]

[1 Thomas Altizer - "The Gospel of Christian Atheism"]
[2 Jean-Paul Sarte - "Being and Nothingness"]
[3 Ludwig Feuerbach "Essence of Christianity"]
[4 Sigmund Freud - "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion"]

4. What Is But Cannot Not Be

[K. Bachman / J. Daub / J. Winters / D. Mann]

Possibility cannot
Account for actuality
Whatever can come to be
Is caused in order to be

Nothing cannot be something
I am but can not be
My existence depends on
What is but cannot not be

Every effect has a cause
Principle of causality
The existence of God is
Theistic relativity

The God the heart needs
The mind only frieves

5. Singularity

[K. Bachman / J. Daub / J. Winters / D. Mann]

Theoretical physics
Mathematical speculation
Scientifically seduced
By abstract calculation

Gravitational waves
Energy-extraction
Astrophysical
Sci-fi investigation

Singularity
Infinity

All hope abandon
Those who enter here
Region of infinite density
End of time, realistic fear

Singularity
Infinity

Beware of what you ask for
For you might get it
The Darwinist, the humanist
The hedonist, the legalist

Singularity
Infinity

6. No Apology

[K. Bachman / J. Daub / J. Winters / D. Mann / D. Baddorf]

No more will I regress backward
From what which I believe
I owe no man an explanation
Expect no apology

Logic defends age old prophecies
Christ's life, death and resurrection
Proof of absolute deity
Expect no apology

Not one regret
Impenitent

No more will I regress backward
From that which I believe
I owe no man an explanation
Expect no apology

Not one regret
Impenitent

7. Trilogy Of Knowledge

[S. Laird / K. Bachman / J. Daub / J. Winters]

[INTRO: THE BIRTH]

[MOVEMENT I: THE LIE]

The fruit from the tree was so pleasing to my eye
The serpent said that I would not die

The serpent shall be cursed, he will crawl about and eat dust
I will put enmity between the woman and you
Man will crush your head, you will strike his heel

The wisdom of the world will be mine if I eat
What can it hurt if I take it and eat?

I will greatly increase the woman's pain
When bearing children all of your days
You will desire man, he will rule over you

Take some, man, gain wisdom, too
Eat from the tree, it's what you must do

The land will be cursed because of man
Producing thorns to make him bleed
By your sweat you will live until death
Dust you are and to dust you will return

[Genesis 3:1]

[MOVEMENT II: THE TRUTH]

(Then Jesus was lead by the Spirit into
the desert to be tempted by the Devil.
After fasting 40 days and 40 nights, he
was hungry. The Tempter came to him
and said...)

If you're the son of God
Tell these stones to become bread

Man does not live on bread
But by words from the mouth of God

If you're the son of God
Throw yourself to the ground, God will save you

But is written
Do not put your God to the test

All the world I give you
If you bow and worship me

Leave me now and worship
The Lord your God, serve Him only

When Satan left him there
The angels came to him
Temptation lost

[Matthew 4:1-11]

[MOVEMENT III: THE KEY]

Evil scheming, wicked violence
And such is the end of all with ill gotten gain

Hatred, rejection, mocking others
This takes the lives of those with ill gotten gain

Do not walk on paths of the wicked
They are the darkness and they don't understand

The path of the righteous first dawns, gleaming
Shining brighter 'till the full light of day

Do not offer body to sin
Offer yourselves to God as those brought to life

Therefore put on the armor of God
So when that day of evil comes, you can stand your ground

[Pr. 1:19, 4:14-19; Ro. 6:13; Ep. 6:13-14]
