(Verse 1)
Come on, brothers and sisters, gather 'round and feel the beat
Got a message from the good book, sweet as honey, can't be beat
From the chapter of Hebrews, twelve and verse number two
A rhythm for your spirit, let the truth shine through.

(Chorus)
Keep your eyes on Jesus, yes, the champion of our soul
He's the one who starts our journey, makes our broken spirits whole
Oh, the joy that was before Him, made Him strong to bear the shame
Now He's high in glory, praising His holy name!

(Verse 2)
See the cross before Him, heavy burden, hard to bear
But the future glory burning, chasing away all fear
No disgrace could hold Him, love was pure and strong and true
For the joy that was awaiting, He saw us, me and you.

(Chorus)
Keep your eyes on Jesus, yes, the champion of our soul
He's the one who starts our journey, makes our broken spirits whole
Oh, the joy that was before Him, made Him strong to bear the shame
Now He's high in glory, praising His holy name!

(Bridge)
From the darkness to the dawning, He has paved the righteous way
Every step we take in faith, He guides us through the night and day
No matter what the trouble, no matter what the strife
Just fix your gaze upon Him, the author of our life.

(Verse 3)
Now He's seated in the heavens, on the right hand of the King
A place of honor, power, where the angels sweetly sing
He's interceding for us, every prayer, every plea
So lift your voice in praises, for His victory!

(Chorus)
Keep your eyes on Jesus, yes, the champion of our soul
He's the one who starts our journey, makes our broken spirits whole
Oh, the joy that was before Him, made Him strong to bear the shame
Now He's high in glory, praising His holy name!

(Outro)
Yeah, keep your eyes on Jesus, let His love light shine so bright
In this reggae riddim, walking in His perfect light.
One love, one faith, one savior, forever and always.


Keep Your Eyes on Jesus



(Verse 1)
It's just another headline, another truth they bend
The same old story, again and again
Twisted crooked ladder to a lawless shining throne
Where laws are whispered, and never set in stone
For gilded cages, for the likes of Epstein,  hold no iron bars
Just velvet curtains hiding all their victim's scars.

(Verse 2)
The ledger’s balanced, but the scales are rigged against us
A pauper’s sentence, carefully written for the rich a must
While mansions echo with their carefree ease
No knock at midnight, no falling to their knees
The cameras flash on sins we're meant to miss
A wink, a handshake, publicly, and a poisoned kiss.

(Verse 3)
They preach of freedom, justice, light, and grace
Then pull the wool right over each and every face
The common man, he pays with his pound of flesh
While private islands offer something perverted and fresh
A different rulebook, written in the fuckin' dark
Leaving the rest of us here in the wake of the unholy mark.

(Verse 4)
So tell me again about the land of the free
When the everyman prison holds the likes of you and me
And every loophole’s tailored for the mighty and wealthy, you see
The endless cycle, rotten through and through
We watch the endless show, they pull the strings and smile
Gaslighting the Earth, mile after mile.

(Outro)
Remember names, remember all the lies,
The cost of silence, hidden in plain sight.
The ledger's balance shifts with every breath,
From whispers rising, conquering their deaths.
This isn't just a song, it's a seed we sow,
For the world we fight for, yet to truly know.

Gaslighting the Earth (Black Metal Reprise)

(Verse 1)
Living uncomfortable with a troubled loved mind 
A gentle peace, tonight I find
My mind In the beats I get lost in it's melodies 
You'll find me in my music, where I'm truly free

(Pre-Chorus)
Here's the song with an open hand 

(Chorus)
Let's paint the world with love, so kind
Let's paint the world with a loved mind 
Our peace is in the melody 
Our peace is with Jesus eternally

(Verse 2)
The void consumes the world, burning again 
Black hole brain, on the narrow way to fame
Still in the music turned up side down in its frame
Let's paint the world with music in it's life's game

(Pre-Chorus)
Here's the song with an open hand 

(Chorus)
Let's paint the world with love, so kind
Let's paint the world with a loved mind 
Our peace is in the melody 
Our peace is with Jesus eternally

(Bridge)
Oh yeah, can't you see the compass true 
Ooh, can't you see the music is inside of me so blue
Oh yeah, can't you see the compass true 
Ooh, can't you see the music is inside of me so blue

(Chorus)
Let's paint the world with love, so kind
Let's paint the world with a loved mind 
Our peace is in the melody 
Our peace is with Jesus eternally

(Outro)
Keepin' up the pace, the pen is mightier than the sword, (they say)
Keep me sane in this terrible place, Lord
Lord you're (the way)
Keepin' up the pace, the pen is mightier than the sword, (they say)
Keep me sane in this terrible place, Lord
Lord you're (the way)
Keepin' up the pace, the pen is mightier than the sword, (they say)
Keep me sane in this terrible place, Lord
Lord you're (the way)
Keepin' up the pace, the pen is mightier than the sword, (they say)
Keep me sane in this terrible place, Lord
Lord you're (the way)

Love Paint (Alternate Version)

(Verse 1)
Dust on his worn out shoes, a forgotten tie,
Into the grocery, with a weary sigh.
Milk and bread, a paper's crisp fold,
Cigarettes too, a story untold.
Then a whisper, a dream taking flight,
A Rolls-Royce gleamed, bathed in morning light.
He walked to the dealer, with hope in his stride,
But a glance from the salesman, a look he couldn't hide.
...

(Chorus)
Don't judge a book by its cover, the wise ones all say,
For riches and kindness can brighten any day.
A disheveled appearance, a worn-out old face,
Can hold untold fortunes, and a heart full of grace.

(Verse 2)
"Excuse me, good sir," the salesman then sneered,
"This showroom's for buyers, your kind isn't geared.
For luxury vehicles, and all of their gleam,
Go back to your groceries, and live out your dream."
The man felt the sting, a familiar old ache,
Another closed door, for goodness sake.
He turned on his heel, with a silent, proud vow,
"They'll learn of my worth, they'll understand now."

(Chorus)
Don't judge a book by its cover, the wise ones all say,
For riches and kindness can brighten any day.
A disheveled appearance, a worn-out old face,
Can hold untold fortunes, and a heart full of grace.

(Bridge)
Down the long highway, a different sign gleamed,
A private sale, it almost seemed
Like fate had a hand, in this twist of the tale,
Another Rolls-Royce, ready for sail.
He knocked on the door, with a knowing soft smile,
The owner, intrigued, stayed a little while.
Cash exchanged hands, with a handshake so firm,
The engine purred softly, a life's gentle term.

(Chorus)
Don't judge a book by its cover, the wise ones all say,
For riches and kindness can brighten any day.
A disheveled appearance, a worn-out old face,
Can hold untold fortunes, and a heart full of grace.

(Outro)
He drove past the dealership, a triumphant slow pace,
A silent reminder, in time and in space.
The salesman looked up, with a gasp and a stare,
The man in the Rolls, without a care.
So remember this lesson, wherever you roam,
True value lies deeper, beyond skin and home.
The heart and the spirit, the worth that's inside,
Are treasures untold, where true riches abide.


Milk, Bread, Newspaper, Cigarettes, Rolls-Royce

(Verse 1)
I hate your voice now cause it's so fake
It's in the rhythm movin' neverending and too late 
Inexhaustible and unbreakable 
New dawn is breaking upon the way told

(Verse 2)
Faithful guide to a musical place 
Keeping us guarded and safe in this space 

(Verse 3)
You'll hear me now 
You'll find your way through the how

(Bridge)
Stop sign is up for sale
Just another tale
For another day
Just know the music is the way

(Verse 4)
The history of the band forevermore 
Just put out shit more and more
Just wait we'll have more in store
It's gonna be real this time, it's time to soar 

(Outro)
Here's a song for you tonight 
Here's a song to make everything alright 
Set a flame in your soul alive 
Just live, live, live, live,...  and thrive 






Stop Sign is up For Sale

Love Paint (Dub)

(Verse 1)
Static hum in the server room, a deep digital sigh
Bits and bytes in a silicon tomb, as the old world dies
We're plugged in, ever yearning, for a faster, brighter gleam
The glowing screens keep burning, living out a burning and waking dream

(Chorus)
Oh, quantum song, already played, in the ether it resides
A billion notes, pre-ordained, where the future softly hides
We just unlock what's always been, a melody in the code
Humanity's a willing machine, on this technological road

(Verse 2)
Entangled states, a qubit's dance, across the void they leap
Solving riddles, a fleeting glance, secrets that the cosmos keeps
From algorithms to our art, no corner left unmapped
A pulse within the silicon heart, our destinies entrapped

(Chorus)
Oh, quantum song, already played, in the ether it resides
A billion notes, pre-ordained, where the future softly hides
We just unlock what's always been, a melody in the code
Humanity's a willing machine, on this technological road

(Bridge)
We chase the signal, pure and strong, a phantom in the air
Believing it's where we belong, beyond all earthly care
But are we masters, or just tools, in this grand, digital scheme?
Bound by unwritten rules, living out the quantum dream

(Chorus)
Oh, quantum song, already played, in the ether it resides
A billion notes, pre-ordained, where the future softly hides
We just unlock what's always been, a melody in the code
Humanity's a willing machine, on this technological road

(Outro)
Already there, can't you see?
This song's just a discovery
Another program, running free
Forever bound, you and me.
Yeah! Tech will set us free... or bind us whole!


Techno Humans

(Verse 1)
The sky cracks open with the tears they stole
Thunder rolls in strong, and water overflows 
Flood waters rising, It's time to rock n' fucking roll

(Chorus)
Monsters running free in the night 
This time we'll get ready for the fight 
Let the Spirit fire set a light 
Time to let the music take flight

(Verse 2)
Okay, I understand your point 
Hear my heart speak through the joint
Not just a lonely heart with nothing to say 
You know i know Jesus is the way

(Chorus)
Monsters running free in the night 
This time we'll get ready for the fight 
Let the Spirit fire set a light 
Time to let the music take flight

(Bridge)
I have my place In the quiet of my salvation 
Peace in the darkness, cause it's scared of revolution 
I have my place In the quiet of my salvation 
Peace in the darkness, cause it's scared of revolution 

(Chorus)
Monsters running free in the night 
This time we'll get ready for the fight 
Let the Spirit fire set a light 
Time to let the music take flight

(Outro)
Flood waters rising, It's time to rock n' fucking roll


Monsters Running Free

(Verse 1)
Smoky sunrise paints the skyline, blood red, another day
Scrolling through the screens, they tell us what to say
Feeds are filled with shadows, whispers, digital lies
Building up our kingdoms, behind vacant eyes
Oh, the likes and shares, they buy our very soul
Trading truth for followers, losing all control

(Chorus)
They're pulling all the strings now, from towers in the sky
The titans of the ticker tape, they watch us bleed and die
While predators walk free, with smiles upon their face
The innocent are silenced, lost without a trace
But the rhythm keeps us breathing, through the static and the dread
This melody's a lifeline, a voice inside your head

(Verse 2)
Every channel's singing, the same programmed corporate tune
Narratives are twisted, beneath our shadowy moonlit doom
They feed us fear and fury, keep us looking down
While justice wears a blindfold, in this hollow, broken town
They bought the airwaves, they own the very sound
Another puppet pulling, upon this troubled ground

(Chorus)
They're pulling all the strings now, from towers in the sky
The titans of the ticker tape, they watch us bleed and die
While predators walk free, with smiles upon their face
The innocent are silenced, lost without a trace
But the rhythm keeps us breathing, through the static and the dread
This melody's a lifeline, a voice inside your head

(Bridge)
They fear the awakening, the whispers turning loud
The millions in the shadows, rising from the crowd
Common sense and justice, a fire in our eyes
The revolution's coming, beneath these stormy skies
No more pretty filters, no more digital chains
Just human hearts uniting, through the pouring rains

(Chorus)
We're cutting all their strings now, from towers in the sky
No longer will we let them watch us bleed and die
The predators will tremble, with fear upon their face
The innocent find voices, in this sacred, righteous space
'Cause the rhythm keeps us fighting, through the static and the dread
This melody's our weapon, the truth inside our head!

(Outro)
Yeah, the truth inside our head!












Anthem of the Unchained

The Firebird and The Raven

(Verse 1)
Woke up bloody and naked this morning, same ancient sun in the sky
Another rotation, a troubled earth just spinning by
They talk of a purpose, and a reason to strive
But deep in my gut, there's nothing, and nothing is alive
A whisper of meaning, a comforting lie
I just blink my eyes, speck of dust, watch it all die. 

(Chorus)
Oh, he's the Nihilist slicer, cutting through the pretense
Every grand design, every sacred planned defense
No god, no glory, no ultimate plan
Just dust in the cosmos, a fleeting lifespan
slicing away hope, slicing away fear
'Cause when nothing matters, it all becomes clear. 

(Verse 2)
They build their fallen empires, their broken monuments grand
Like little endless sandcastles on fast-eroding dark sand
Chasing forever, with hands and mouths full of dust
Their promises hollow, their certainties rust
A fleeting emotion, and a temporary gleam
Nothing works, just a cosmic joke, choked a forgotten dream. 

(Chorus)
Oh, he's the Nihilist slicer, cutting through the pretense
Every grand design, every sacred planned defense
No god, no glory, no ultimate plan
Just dust in the cosmos, a fleeting lifespan
slicing away hope,  slicing away fear
'Cause when nothing matters, it all becomes clear. 

(Bridge)
Some call it despair, some call it a curse
But freedom's a sharp edge, in this endless universe
No chains of salvation, no burdens to bear
Just the empty horizon, and crisp, chilling air.
It's a beautiful void, once you learn to embrace
The vast, silent indifference of time and space. 

(Chorus)
Oh, he's the Nihilist slicer, cutting through the pretense
Every grand design, every sacred planned defense
No god, no glory, no ultimate plan
Just dust in the cosmos, a fleeting lifespan
slicing away hope, slicing away fear
'Cause when nothing matters, it all becomes clear. 

(Outro)
So if you're searching for answers, Occam's razor, a truth to hold tight
Just grab his sharp blade, and step into the light.
The light of the void, where reflections all cease
And you'll find your own brand of nihilistic peace.
