The pressure builds inside, and the fractures start to crawl.
Every shadow in my chest wants to see me fall.
I can feel the world decay while it poisons what I am,
But the truth of Christ cuts deeper than the lies of man.
I’ve spoken to the darkness, but it never spoke back
Only echoed all the failures that kept me black.
But when I cried out hollow, when I broke in fear,
He shattered every chain that had pulled me near.

I’m tired of the torment
but He is stronger than the storm inside my skull.

Heaven breaks the cycle—His fire takes control.
My spirit screams revival when His light invades my soul.
Heaven breaks the cycle—my fear begins to fold.
The venom tried to claim me, but His blood makes me whole.
I won’t bow to the chaos, I won’t sink to the void
’Cause Christ is the reason the darkness is destroyed.

I’ve tasted bitter memories that tried to rot the core,
Every whisper feeding wounds that I could not ignore.
I kept running from myself, from the war beneath my skin,
But the cross became the doorway where His mercy pulled me in.
The serpent laughs in anger ’cause the Light won’t die,
And the lies lose power every time I cry
To the One who stood in fire, who broke death’s hand
Now every demon trembles at His command.

I’m done with the silence
He speaks louder than the fear that stalks my bones.

Heaven breaks the cycle—His fire takes control.
My spirit screams revival when His light invades my soul.
Heaven breaks the cycle—my fear begins to fold.
The venom tried to claim me, but His blood makes me whole.
I won’t bow to the chaos, I won’t sink to the void
’Cause Christ is the reason the darkness is destroyed.

I hear the world collapsing, but His voice stays clear.
A whisper in the ruin saying: “Child, I am near.”
My thoughts are trembling, the night is cold
But He holds my spirit tighter than the grip of old.
When everything breaks, when I lose all sound,
His hand is the anchor pulling me off the ground.

Tear the sickness
let the light take shape!
Kill the nightmares
let the truth awake!
Break the silence
let the heavens shake!
Christ is rising
I will not break!

No more torment
Jesus breaks the cycle!
No more poison
Jesus breaks the cycle!
No more shadows
Jesus breaks the cycle!
No more death
He breaks, He breaks, He breaks the cycle!

Heaven breaks the cycle—my flesh becomes reborn.
The darkness tried to drown me, but He shattered every storm.
Heaven breaks the cycle—His truth becomes my form.
The serpent lost its power on the day His blood was sworn.
I won’t die in the chaos, I won’t fall to the void
’Cause Christ is the reason the darkness is destroyed.

When the night screams louder… His name remains.
When the world corrodes me… He breaks my chains.
In the ruins of my anger… His mercy sustains.
Heaven breaks the cycle…
Heaven breaks the cycle…

HAVEN BREAKS THE CYCLE

I hear the cracking of my past beneath Your breath…
Counting every scar I carved inside my chest…
Silence
Break me…
Heal me…
Tear the shadows off my name…

Drag me through the wreckage of the man I used to be,
All my fading nightmares screaming, clawing back at me.
I was drowning in the panic, in the venom I believed,
But You split the dark wide open so these lungs could finally breathe.

My fear was a kingdom built on lies I called my throne,
I fed the serpent every failure just to feel less alone.
But You tore apart the cycle, You invaded all my shame,
Burned the chains that made me hollow, resurrected what remained.

I can hear Your voice in the trembling of the walls…
Calling out my soul when I’m too scared to even crawl…
If I fall again
Don’t let me disappear in the void I made…

Light me with Your holy fire,
Burn the poison from my veins.
I was broken, but You wired
Strength inside my deepest pain.
Raise me higher, Savior, higher
Through the torment, through the trial.
By Your fire—holy fire
I’m alive within the wild.

I hear the echoes of the sins that I confessed too late,
Dripping like a warning from the teeth of my mistakes.
The darkness used to comfort me, it wrapped around my skin
A quiet, toxic cradle where my ruin settled in.

But You pulled me from the spiral where my thoughts would suffocate,
Crushed the whispers of the enemy who swore it was my fate.
Now I’m staring at the ruins of the lies I used to trust,
And I see Your hands rebuilding what I left inside the dust.

I can’t run from what I’ve been.

You erase the guilt within.

Pull me out, tear through my sin
Let Your fire break me in.

When the nightmares drag me under,
And my pulse begins to stray…
You ignite a spark of thunder,
Driving all the dark away…

Light me with Your holy fire,
Burn the poison from my veins.
I was broken, but You wired
Strength inside my deepest pain.
Raise me higher, Savior, higher
Through the torment, through the trial.
By Your fire—holy fire
I’m alive within the wild.

I surrender every wound I used to hide…
Every memory that clawed me from inside…
Let it die
Let it die
Let Your resurrection tear the veil of all my pride…

Rise…
Rise…
I can hear the heavens calling me to rise…

Rip the shadows from my spine.

Turn the horror into signs.

Let the ashes realign
Make this fractured heart divine.

Light me with Your holy fire,
Burn the poison from my veins.
I was broken, but You wired
Strength inside my deepest pain.
Raise me higher, Savior, higher
Through the torment, through the trial.
By Your fire—holy fire
I am Yours beyond the wild.

SCARS OF THE HOLY FIRE

RIP ME OUT
TEAR MY FLESH FROM THE DARK, LORD!
I AM BROKEN, I AM BLEEDING
BUT YOUR FIRE DRAGS ME BACK TO LIFE!

Shadows screaming inside my veins,
I was drowning slow in my mistakes,
Every promise cracked beneath the weight
But You kept calling out my name.

AND I FALL
AGAIN AND AGAIN
ONTO HOLY GROUND MADE FROM MY PAIN!

I tried to fight the night alone,
But every demon tore at bone,
Yet in the static of my fear
Your voice was the only truth I heard.

JESUS, TEAR ME FROM THE DARK!
BRING THE LIGHT BACK INTO MY HEART!
I WAS DEAD IN THE VOID WITH NOTHING LEFT
BUT YOU BREATHED FIRE IN MY CHEST!
I’M RUNNING—RUNNING—BACK TO YOU!
I’M BLEEDING—SCREAMING—FOR THE TRUTH!
JESUS, LIFT ME WHEN I FALL APART
TEAR ME, TEAR ME FROM THE DARK!

Lift me higher—higher—higher!
Burn the night away!
Your holy fire—fire—fire!
Break these chains today!

I carried graves inside my soul,
Every lie took its control,
But You shattered every curse they stole
And wrote Your mercy in my bones.

PULL THE POISON FROM MY SKIN

LET YOUR SPIRIT DRAG ME IN

SAVIOR, BREAK THE NIGHT AGAIN!

I fall but You still carry me,
You tear the veil so I can see,
Your blood rewrites my history
My chains collapse, I’m finally free.

JESUS, TEAR ME FROM THE DARK!
BRING THE LIGHT BACK INTO MY HEART!
I WAS DEAD IN THE VOID WITH NOTHING LEFT
BUT YOU BREATHED FIRE IN MY CHEST!
I’M RUNNING—RUNNING—BACK TO YOU!
I’M BLEEDING—SCREAMING—FOR THE TRUTH!
JESUS, LIFT ME WHEN I FALL APART
TEAR ME, TEAR ME FROM THE DARK!

Whisper to my bones…
Let the dead man go…
Your cross is the only throne
That I will ever bow before.

TAKE MY FEAR!
TAKE MY DOUBT!
RIP THE DARKNESS FROM MY MOUTH!
LET ME SCREAM YOUR NAME OUT LOUD
JESUS—JESUS—JESUS!

Tear me out—tear me out
OF THIS GRAVE I BUILT ALONE!
Burn it down—burn it down
LET YOUR FIRE CLAIM THE THRONE!
I WON’T FALL BACK TO THE NIGHT!
I WON’T BOW TO SATAN’S LIES!
YOUR BLOOD IS MY ONLY FIGHT!
JESUS—BRING ME BACK TO LIFE!

JESUS, TEAR ME FROM THE DARK!
BRING THE LIGHT BACK INTO MY HEART!
I WAS DEAD IN THE VOID WITH NOTHING LEFT
BUT YOU BREATHED FIRE IN MY CHEST!
I’M RUNNING—RUNNING—BACK TO YOU!
I’M BLEEDING—SCREAMING—FOR THE TRUTH!
JESUS, LIFT ME WHEN I FALL APART
TEAR ME, TEAR ME FROM THE DARK!

I rise…
Because You rose for me.
I breathe…
Because You shattered my agony.
TEAR ME FROM THE DARK
ONE LAST TIME.

TEAR ME FROM THE DARK, LORD

Rip the veil apart! Tear the silence open!
Your fire breaks through everything I've broken!

I’m sinking under shadows I carved with my own hands
But Your voice keeps echoing inside my bones again
Another war inside my mind, another wound I try to hide
Yet You pull me from the void I let define my life

Whispers in the dark say I’ll never rise
But Your truth is burning through my lies

Light me up! Let Your glory break the night!
Shatter every chain that held my sight!
Pull me from the edge where I used to die
Your love is the fire that lights the sky!
Light me up! Light me up tonight!
Your love is the fire that lights the sky!

Burn the fear—burn the fear—burn it out of me!
Your name is the force that makes the darkness bleed!

I used to run from grace like a ghost afraid of dawn
But You kept calling out my name until the shame was gone
Now every scar becomes a map of where Your mercy fought for me
And every breath I take is proof You want me free

Night after night, You never let me fall
You tore the chains, You crushed the wall

Light me up! Let Your glory break the night!
Shatter every chain that held my sight!
Pull me from the edge where I used to die
Your love is the fire that lights the sky!
Light me up! Light me up tonight!
Your love is the fire that lights the sky!

I felt the world collapsing in my chest…
I felt the darkness swallowing my breath…
But You

YOU BROUGHT ME BACK FROM NOTHINGNESS!

Crush the bones of every lie I believed!
Tear the demons off the walls of my dreams!
I won’t bow—I won’t fade—I won’t die
'Cause Your truth is the blade that cuts the night!

YOUR LIGHT—IGNITES—THE FIGHT—INSIDE!

Light me up! Let Your glory break the night!
Shatter every chain that held my sight!
Pull me from the edge where I used to die
Your love is the fire that lights the sky!
Lift me up! Lift me up tonight!
Your love is the fire that lights the sky!
I’ll rise again—I’ll breathe again
Your love is the fire that lights the sky!

You tear the veil…
You light the sky…
And in the ruins of my past…
I finally rise…

LET. THERE. BE. LIGHT!

TEAR THE VEIL, LIGHT THE SKY

Tear me open, God — I’m bleeding out the darkness!
Drag my soul from the fire… I’m Yours!
I’m Yours!

I’ve been drowning in the echoes of my shame,
Every heartbeat like a hammer on my faith.

But You crash through the static,
You shatter the noise,
You rip the fear from my throat
And raise my voice!

I was buried in the grave I made,
But You tore the veil,
You called my name 
And every demon shakes when Heaven breaks!

Break my chains, oh Lord!
Set the fire in my bones again!
Let the heavens roar 
I’m alive because Your love remains!
When the nightmare rises,
Your light is my war!
Break my chains, oh Lord!
Break my chains, oh Lord!

Your glory burns through the void!
Your glory burns through the void!

I walked blind through shadows that I chose,
Chasing poison like it ever brought me hope.

But Your mercy hit harder
Than the weight of my sins,
Tore the sickness from within 
Let redemption begin!

I hear the trumpets of Heaven
Calling warriors awake…
Every heartbeat thunder
For the Kingdom’s sake!

Whisper to my bones, Lord 
Resurrect my faith tonight…

Breathe life into the ashes!
SCORCH THE DARKNESS WITH YOUR LIGHT!

Tear the idols from my hands!
Tear the lies from my mind!
Let Your truth overwhelm me 
Make me fearless, refined!

Break my chains, oh Lord!
Set the fire in my bones again!
Let the heavens roar 
I’m alive because Your love remains!
When the nightmare rises,
Your light is my war!
Break my chains, oh Lord!
Break my chains, oh Lord!

This heart beats — FOR YOU!
This soul screams — FOR YOU!
This life burns — THROUGH YOU!
MY GOD, MY KING — I RUN TO YOU!

Your love…
Your fire…
Your throne forever…

BREAK MY CHAINS

I’m drowning in the silence I carved inside my chest
A fading spark, a hollow breath
But You break through the dark, whispering my name
A tremor in the void before the flames awake

Take… this… heart…
Tear down my shadows…
Make me feel again…

I walked through the ruins of the man I used to be
With ashes in my lungs, begging You to breathe in me
But pain became a mirror where I saw my failing crown
And still You held Your hand to pull me from the ground

I never deserved the light
Yet You offered me the sky

So tear apart the fear that chained me
Ignite my bones, awaken mercy

You lift me higher than the fire ever could
You break the night like only a Savior would
My spirit trembles as Your love invades the void
Your voice resounds and every darkness is destroyed

Let Your glory fall…
Let Your glory fall…

I ran from the truth ‘til my lungs collapsed
But You rebuilt my soul from the remnants of my past
The storm inside me bowed when You shattered every wall
Your mercy hit like thunder and I learned to finally fall

Into Your arms again…
Into the hope I failed to defend

You lift me higher than the fire ever could
You break the night like only a Savior would
My spirit trembles as Your love invades the void
Your voice resounds and every darkness is destroyed

Break me
Shape me
Burn away the dead inside
Save me
Raise me
Let Your holy thunder rise

Rip out the poison
I surrender my ruin

Your light still reaches me
Through every shattered memory
You never turned Your face away
Even when I begged to fade

And now I scream Your name
Not from despair, but from rebirth

Take this heart and set it free
You tear the night apart for me
Break these chains that held my breath

Your fire is the truth I crave
Your mercy storms the grave

I’m alive
Because You stepped inside the chaos of my mind

You lift me higher than the fire ever could
You break the night like only a Savior would
My soul is shaking as Your love consumes the void
Your holy thunder roars—every darkness destroyed

You tear my shadows down
You tear my shadows down

And when the silence falls again
I’ll breathe the light You place within
For You rebuild the ruins of my soul
And call the broken back to whole

TEAR DOWN MY SHADOWS

Alone
In the dark
I fall
I wait

Broken
Silent prayers
Shaking hands
Empty air

I tried to scream
But my voice collapsed
I tried to run
But I circled back

Pull me out
Pull me through
I am nothing
Without You

Nothing
Nothing

I built my throne from fear and dust
I crowned myself, betrayed Your trust
My hands were red, my heart was stone
I called this grave a place called home

Every step away from light
Turned my shadow into night
I hear Your voice inside the storm
Calling me back to where I’m from

Pull me out of the grave I made
Pull me through all the hate and shame
I’m on my knees, I’m torn in two
I am alive when I bleed for You

I AM NOT GOD
I NEVER WAS
I AM THE DUST
YOU ARE THE BLOOD

I chased the fire
I fed the lie
I traded truth
To feel alive
I burned the bridge
I wore the crown
But heaven watched
As I went down

You didn’t leave when I denied
You stood there through the knives inside
Your mercy cut me deeper still
A wound that only love could heal

Pull me out, I’m losing breath
Pull me out of living death
Every scar screams what is true
I was lost until I knew You

If I fall again
Let it be toward the cross
If I break again
Let it be my pride

Hands to the sky
Eyes full of war
Faith like a blade
Cutting my core

PULL ME OUT
OF THE DARK I BECAME
PULL ME THROUGH
EVERY FIRE, EVERY FLAME
I AM YOURS
EVEN SHATTERED AND BRUISED
I AM YOURS
EVERY BREATH, EVERY WOUND

NOT MY WILL
NOT MY NAME
NOT MY THRONE
NOT MY FLAME

ASCEND

Alone
Cold
Still
Here

No light
No sound
No strength
Left

I fall again
Hands shaking
Eyes open
Heart waiting

I tried to stand but lost my ground
I tried to scream but made no sound
Every step I thought was mine
Pulled me further down the line

Pull me up
I’m sinking
Pull me out
I’m breaking

I built my life on fragile ground and called my weakness strength
I dressed my pride in holy words to hide what I became
I chased control and fed my name believing I was right
But every truth I buried there came screaming in the night

Every lie I justified to keep myself in place
Every warning I ignored pretending it was grace
I said I knew the way to live, I said I held the flame
But all I built with open hands collapsed beneath my name

Pull me up from who I was before I lost my way
Pull me back into the light I kept pushing away
I am not enough alone, I never was complete
I am just a broken man laid down at Your feet

I wore the cross without the weight and spoke of truth in vain
I sang of love while carving fear into my every vein
I crowned myself and built a throne from bones and hollow praise
Convincing all, including me, I’d earned my place to reign
Still You watched without retreat, still You never turned
Still You let the fire rise so I would finally learn

You saw the depth of every fall before I hit the ground
You heard the prayer I couldn’t speak when I made not a sound
You waited through my arrogance, my violence, my delay
Just to hear my shattered voice still whisper out Your name

Pull me up from everything I’ve done and all I failed to be
Pull me through the ruin of the man I tried to make of me
Every breath I stole from You, You gave back full of grace
Every scar became a mark of how You saved my face
I was lost beyond my name, beyond my will to choose
Until the truth I tried to kill was standing there as You

I burned the bridges You designed and called the ashes peace
I chased the high of being king and felt my conscience cease
I traded mercy for control, conviction for the crown
And every step I took in pride just drove me further down
Still You stayed when I denied the cost of what You gave
Still You carved a way through death and stepped into my grave
You let me rise by letting go of everything I claimed
So I could see that life begins the moment pride is slain

You didn’t leave when I accused, You didn’t move away
You held the line of perfect love while I decayed
Your silence thundered louder than the lies I used to hide
A mercy so unbearable it finally made me die

PULL ME UP FROM EVERYTHING I’VE BECOME AND EVERYTHING I’VE LOST
PULL ME THROUGH THE DARK, THE FIRE, THE FEAR, NO MATTER THE COST
I AM YOURS WHEN I AM SHATTERED, STRIPPED OF EVERY LIE
I AM YOURS WHEN ALL I HAVE LEFT IS A DESPERATE CRY
NOT MY WILL, NOT MY NAME, NOT THE KING I TRIED TO BE
EVERY BREATH, EVERY SCAR, EVERY WAR I LAY AT YOUR FEET
I LET IT DIE, I LET IT BURN, I LET IT FALL APART
SO YOU CAN BUILD A THRONE INSIDE MY HEART

I SURRENDER.

ASCENT WITHOUT RETURN

I walked through the wreckage of everything I broke with my own hands,
Dragging my name through the mud while still daring to speak Yours.
I prayed with doubt on my tongue and fear stitched into my chest,
Calling myself Yours while living like You were already gone.
I memorized the cross but forgot the cost,
I learned the words but never the weight,
I carried religion like a shield to hide behind
While my heart was starving for the living God.

I failed You in ways I can’t rewrite or erase,
I questioned Your goodness every time You delayed,
I blamed Your silence for my weakness,
And called my rebellion “survival.”
I stood in the ruins of promises I shattered,
Wondering why You still watched over me,
Why the God of thunder and fire
Would kneel down to lift someone like me.

But You are not fragile
You are not distant
You are not shaken by my collapse
You are the same God
In the fire, in the flood, in the fall

YOU ARE GOD
AND YOU STILL REIGN
OVER MY FAILURES
OVER MY SHAME

YOU ARE GOD
STRONG IN MERCY
MIGHTY TO SAVE
SLOW TO WRATH

EVERY KNEE WILL BOW
EVERY LIE WILL BREAK
HELL CAN SCREAM MY NAME
BUT IT CANNOT TOUCH MY FAITH

I tried to outrun Your voice with noise and destruction,
I tried to drown conviction in pleasure and pride,
I built altars to myself and called it freedom,
While Your Spirit kept calling me back to life.
I wore my sin like a crown of iron,
Thinking strength was never needing You,
But You shattered my arrogance with grace,
And showed me power bows before truth.

YOU ARE HOLY
YOU ARE MIGHTY
YOU ARE GREATER
THAN MY SIN

YOU ARE FAITHFUL
YOU ARE PRESENT
FROM THE BEGINNING
TO THE END

YOU ARE GOD
ENTHRONED ABOVE
THE WARS IN MY MIND
THE FEAR IN MY BLOOD

YOU ARE GOD
UNMATCHED IN POWER
THE LION WHO ROARS
THE LAMB WHO BLEDS

YOU PULLED ME FROM DEATH
NOT WITH SILENCE BUT COMMAND
GRACE SPOKE MY NAME
AND THE GRAVE LET GO

You didn’t love a future version of me,
You loved me while I was broken, bleeding, and running.
Your mercy didn’t wait for improvement,
It invaded my ruin and called it redemption.

I see it clearly now, every step You carried me through,
Every closed door that saved me from myself,
Every night You stayed when I wanted to disappear,
Every breath I took that should’ve been my last.
You are not the God I imagined,
You are infinitely greater, infinitely patient, infinitely strong,
You turn rebels into sons,
And graves into testimonies.

YOU ARE GOD
AND I AM ALIVE
NOT BY MY STRENGTH
BUT BY YOUR HAND

YOU ARE GOD
AND I STAND UNASHAMED
FORGIVEN, RESTORED
SECURE IN YOUR NAME

LET HELL TREMBLE
LET HEAVEN SING
MY LIFE PROCLAIMS
JESUS IS KING

I don’t walk in chains anymore,
I walk in purpose.
I don’t fear the dark anymore,
I carry Your light.
What was meant to destroy my faith
Became the stage for Your glory.
I am not surviving —
I am living with God.

After all the storms…
God is still God.

GOD STILL REIGNS

I walked through the wreckage of borrowed belief,
Hands raised in habit, a heart out of reach.
I spoke Your name like it owed me escape,
Claimed I was Yours
While erasing Your place.

I stitched my prayers with hesitation and fear,
Learned every verse, never trembled at truth.
I memorized mercy, ignored what it cost,
Wore holy language
While starving for You.

I failed You in ways no confession can clean,
Measured Your love by the speed of my dreams.
I called Your waiting abandonment,
And crowned my impatience as wisdom.

I stood on the bones of the vows that I broke,
Asking why heaven still knew my name.
Why the God who commands wind and flame
Would lower Himself
Into my shame.

But You are not weakened
By my retreat
You are not shaken
By the ground under me
You are unchanged
When I collapse

You are God
Beyond my doubt
You are God
When I black out
I tried to bury what I couldn’t face
But You remained
You are God
Unmoved by my decay

I built my refuge out of control and pride,
Called it survival, baptized the lie.
I knew Your voice, I chose the noise,
Fed my ego, starved my soul.

I hid behind grace to avoid Your fire,
Sang about love but denied Your claim.
I wore belief like a loaded gun,
Pointed outward
Never at myself.

You are not distant
You are not done
You don’t abandon
The prodigal son
You are the same God
In my collapse

You are God
Beyond my doubt
You are God
When I black out
I tried to bury what I couldn’t face
But You remained
You are God
Unmoved by my decay

I ran from the altar
Not from the truth
I feared surrender
More than I feared You

I ran from the altar
Built walls from shame
But mercy doesn’t knock
It breaks the frame

If justice spoke first, I’d be undone,
But mercy bore the weight of the Son.
You didn’t wait for me to rise,
You stepped into
The grave I dug inside.

You stepped in.

You are God
Over my past
You are God
When I can’t last
I tried to die inside my name
But You proclaimed
You are God
And You still reign

I ran from the altar…
But You never moved.

THE ALTAR I RAN FROM

Cristo é o caminho, a verdade e a vida. 

Eternal Reverb

ASCENT WITHOUT RETURN
