STRONGARM LYRICS

1. These Times That Try Men's Souls


This is all that I believe
To bear witness to my calling

My life escapes me, my days they shorten
These final breaths to testify

To face these years is adversity in itself
Calm passed long ago to revel times foretold
Before is the open book another page, pieces fall into place
Take heed to discern the times, of the signs

These times that try men's souls

Whereby we know, this life is like a shadow
And assuredly death shall stand to greet the soul
The years, they've coursed the storm that's been uprising
Since the days of old building, and now approaching

He sees not his shadow, who faces the sun
For his eyes burn and melt as wax
The price paid for living in light
Is that of gold in the crucible

Ever melting, straining, striving, to be made pure
Purity escapes me, remembrance breaks me down

Though my knees become weak, I will cause my foot another step to carry the task
Bleeds my hands but, they are kept, remembrance breaks me down
But I will survive until it is the last time


2. Supplication


There can be no justice
Where there is no truth

A life of self sacrifice, a new creation
Devotion to purity, in the midst of light conviction
Set fire, to the hearts desire, taken by storm
No longer in the dark, dwelling in shadows nevermore

I surrender all, all I am I give
Give there of till end much more, more than this death
I surrender all, all I am I've spent
Spent my essence and much more, more than this death

Far be it from me to flee from the den of lions
The truth can be blinding
Cast me forth for stoning
Misunderstanding causes fear
I feel your pain, I feel your emptiness
And on this day your blood will touch blood

Because I am an example I will not flee
Waiting for an end as breath fades away, fades away, fades away
Waiting for an end as breath fades away

I surrender all, all I am I give
Give there of til' end much more, more than this is death
I surrender all, all I am I've spent
Spent my essence and much more, more than this is death


3. Council Of Perfection


Truth and justice belong...
To you, behold the power of his undying sacrifice

As a sanctuary for the wounded

In the council of perfection

All creation stands as a witness
All creation stands as a mark of your will

Wisdom (like an ocean) hides behind your eyes
Darkness, divided, by your fallen tear
There the wicked cease from turmoil and the weary are at rest
All sacrifice and all suffering is redemptive

Formed, in the palm of GOD's mighty hand
Shaped, by the work of his will
And alive from the breath of his loving heart
Man's inspiration, is GOD's touch on the quickened nerves of the spirit

Enflamed by your unquenchable fire
I stand in the Spirit of conquest
Through you, I am created to conquer

Fleeting, living life of calamity
Forces unseen are controlling my destiny
We're not at the mercy of fate
Fears born of this world are groundless
Lord, teach me and I will be silent

Word made flesh, we long to hear you
You are my advocate, my mediator
With complete power and perfect love
You alone hold the scales of judgement


4. More Bitter Than Death


I refuse to shudder in the face of sacrifice

Undying, the legacy of truth shines through adversity
The furnace of affliction could not absolve it

And you in your high chair comfort

Stagnant thoughts, the accolades of arrogance
Wear them like a crown
Heart painted scarlet and your followers follow you down
Now drown in your contradictions turned religion

It's beauty will be consumed by the grave
For death is to feed on these things
And more, the power which they have given you will cease
Still more bitter than death

Is to walk in silence

Is to die discontent
Is to gaze in the eyes of your maker
And to no love, only resentment
This is more bitter than death itself

I've seen the face of redemption, I've closed my eyes
I've felt the hand of grace, mend my broken heart
I've pierced my savior's sidefeel, with deceit and lies
In the mist of betrayal, still repentance waits

And this I resolved within myself
My adversary will no longer be my master
For this I weep bitterly in the night

I sought shelter in sleep but, sleep is restless without hope
I looked for a thread of hope, but he was frail, laid, fabric

Slowly, wearing
I have no use for remorse save for learning
Slowly, wearing
I have no use for remorse yet, it consumes me


5. Advent Of A Miracle


You're my beloved and all together lovely
As a gift that can't be bought, as if gold could favor outweigh
Your meaning to me, the secrets of the heart made manifest
Even beauty's priced beside thee, proportioned by lot the less

Wishes fade, dreams break, promise made

Takes away your will, takes your whole heart captive
Just for one promise, sell it all for one true word
To hold on to, face the shame of it all
Safer to neglect, than open your callused heart

Piece by piece, you have lost a part of your self
You share to gain but lose at love and learn to hate yourself
More and More each day and all the days thereafter
They labor to put back together and regain what is gone forever

Wishes fade, as dreams break, promise made, tomorrow takes

The most costly mistake is to try to change the past today
The filth and the shame, they all wash away
For you Christ will clean the slate

Only love can fill the void, when the world has taken it's toll
Hand in hand, by your side, we'll walk down this path together
I'll take you to the place where promises will never break

To the advent
To the advent
To the advent of a miracle

True love is to die for and is why I cry, for you
And the pain you feel and feed can heal
If you'd just walk with me toward the light


6. Measure Of Consequence


Raging, your eyes seeking cleansing for their disease
Hatred, suffocating reason, the ground cries out

For the spirit broken, erased by aberration
Turn the pages of sacrifice, blood cursed with retribution
To the blind a cancer, but for the chosen generations
Memories to sorrow, for their souls a lamentation

Therefore, he has come
For Christ is comfort, Forevermore

Countless number of bodies, raped of their lifetime
An end to families, through heritage survives a lifetime
Voices that call through seasons carry timelessness
A measure of consequence

Never again to create the cycle
Never again denying their lives
Please help us, Oh Most High
To never again see through those eyes


7. Sorrow Is A Sage


This time, praise is truly a sacrifice
Sorrow is a sage

So now I wait, I never dreamed I'd be here
As a sacrament to be raised and then broken, it never having spoken
Still swallows my only breath of hope - incinerating
Words have never fallen so short, hands raised in submission
Still your sanctuary burns, still burning

No one told me that this grief would feel so much like fear
Tears without protest, a soul seeking solace
She's dying to wake, but late is the day break
Gasping and groaning, the silence breaks for seething
I hear a small voice inside me say:

"Grace grows in winter"
How I long to believe that it speaks the truth
Is this not my lot - life

All is not comprehensible and all is not beautiful
However, all has meaning and all can create beauty

Let me see the meaning in this
Let me find the beauty in this

Life is learning
What cannot break you can only be a catalyst for growth

Creation groans for completion
Truth wakes in understanding
And the morning comes yielding peace
Oh how I long for this to be
Truth


8. Increase


I fall to my knees for this my LORD I plea
In this hour alone, and surely stand stoned

For fear will face me to meet me where I flee
Still I run away, this cup I pass to pray
As a rivers end meets sea so my eyes they flood into thee

In many ways, I feel I've dug my own grave

A friend, what does it mean?
Obedience, what does it bring?

Knowledge comes easy, easily obtained
Wisdom the greater but, only through pain
This I ask for, to surround
To near the backbone to growth
And therefore to clear convictions
That draw me, closer to lead me
Decisions to flow with thoughts to bring healing
Truth to perfection my spirit discerning
But, in all that I've learned I am still learning
That the plague of my life I must fight

To survive these self same truths revealed to me
To be the absolute
Change starts a thought and can only be taught
With deep concern, the heart through the mind through time, learn

Wearily I divide
Called to disunite
Afraid that they may scatter
But rather they gather


9. The Fall Of Babylon


When nations rise
With eyes of arrogance, raise your war cry, and be shattered
The string of dissension, ensnared by evil tongue
Cast your ring of disappointment, the plague of dissolution

The plans of your devise, they will be thwarted
Spirit stained by corrupted flesh
Your hollow truths will be shattered

Your riches are acquired by the misfortune and bloodshed of others

Within our midst is the prophesied age, of new Babylon

All the images of it's gods, lie smashed on the ground
It's driven by darkness, the dwelling place for demons
For the nations race to drain the cup, of the maddening wine of power

To deny, a man his rights
To deprive, a man of justice
He looked for justice but, saw blood shed for righteousness
But, heard cries of distress
He will cleanse the blood stains of the oppressed
By a spirit of judgement and a spirit of fire

The thing that drive us to hate, to love, to lust, to greed, and to good is
longing
Every soul is born with that vague undefined hole
We search each other's eyes for answers and find none
God will break the yolk that burdens you
But, those who refuse to see, leading others astray in your iniquities
Terror will seize you

The hour of judgement will come
