Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos

---------------------

That one time you think you find
Goes blind in a blink of an eye
There's always another before you
As you age, the world passes by

She's next to me but so far
Locked tight in another man's arms
I failed at every turn to find
Now it's time to leave it all behind

God, I just want to feel content
I don't want to suffer anymore
Can You please help me now
As my knees hit the floor
If I make the change, please
Give me the strength to cope
Cause if I give up the world— 
You are my only hope

I think I’m giving up on this love
This curse is too much to bear
What on earth is going on here
I'm buried in a heap of despair

I give up on finding romance
She already put the dagger in me
I'm old, and it's harder each day
Waking up to reality to see 

This world is far beyond me
I have no place in it to belong
No choice but to survive
And write another lonely song

I’m ready when You are
I’m ready when You are

You Are My Only Hope

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos

--------------------

I'm letting it go tonight
As I'm waiting in the dark
But the voices come to torture me
I'm so lost and so far
All I want is to feel again
Without her killing me inside
Like a dagger in my heart
I'm bleeding in my mind

I don't see a way out, God
Please show me another way
Your servant is on his knees
No other choice but to pray

I'm alone and isolated
The world is rising above
Will I ever know peace, God?
Will I ever find love?
They get it so easy, but why?
What the hell is wrong with me?
My tortured soul aches
For You to hold me tight, tonight!

I'm screaming through the silence
But no one's hearing me break
Every memory's a violence
That I never chose to make
I'm fading in the shadows
Where the broken tend to stay
Just tell me there's a reason
To survive another day

I don't see a way out, God
Please give me a sign
Your servant is barely breathing
But I’m holding the line

If I have to suffer alone—so be it
But this pain, this weight—I can't keep it
Every scar is a verse I repeat
Every tear is a war I can't beat
Don't blame you, I never did
But God—why this? Why like this?

Take it away
Take it away
Take away the pain
As I'm waiting in the dark

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

---------------------

Bandiera che sventola in terre lontane,
Con pugno di ferro domini ogni cosa.
La tua voce si perde nel vento che urla,
Dove le onde si infrangono e scende il buio.

Dona il tuo cuore, ma fallo in silenzio,
Questo mondo spezzato non deve sapere.
Segui la loro strada o preparati a cadere
Dall'altezza suprema fino al nulla.

Niente qui sulla terra resterà,
Ma il tocco del cielo ogni dolore guarirà.
Attraverso tuoni e pioggia,
Le catene mortali si spezzeranno.
Quando sento il Suo potere divino,
Quando raggiungo Dio, mi alzerò splendente.

Tutto potrebbe finire questa notte, forse no,
Terrò la mia posizione, costi quel che costi.
Il Signore sta arrivando, la Sua luce risplende,
Mentre tremo nell'oscurità.

Vita o morte, la scelta è chiara,
La bestia si avvicina, la fine è vicina.
Non stabilirti, non chiamarla casa,
La tempesta si scatena, ascolta le trombe.

Niente sulla terra può sostenermi,
Il fuoco del cielo spezza queste catene.
Mi solleverò attraverso la prova del fuoco,
Quando raggiungerò Dio, avrò un sorriso,
Quando raggiungerò Dio, avrò un sorriso.

Quando Raggiungerò Dio

---------------------

¡Jesús, el Salvador!
¡Iglesia, levántate!
¡Abre tu corazón!
¡Que Su gloria se multiplique!

Ven, Señor, ven y libera mi alma
Mi esperanza en Ti es eterna
Tú eres quien vino a salvar
Más grande que toda riqueza y fama

Perdido andaba, pero me encontraste
Y ahora te adoro con sonido sagrado

Allá en lo alto, en el cielo estás
Muy por encima del llanto y pesar

¡Cristo, mi Rey, a Ti yo canto!
¡Por siempre y siempre al sonar la trompeta!
¡Proclámalo fuerte, como Pablo lo dijo!
¡Con valentía, sin vergüenza, despierto estoy!

Desde el ayer hasta el fin de los días
Toda rodilla se doblará
Al Cristo que resucitó y vino a salvar
Libertad dio al quebrantado sin dudar

Tu gracia nos dio nueva vida
Para levantarnos y entrar en la lucha

Contra el mentiroso, vencido en el polvo
Con la sangre de Jesús al pie de la cruz

¡Cristo, mi Rey, a Ti yo canto!
¡Por siempre y siempre al sonar la trompeta!
¡Proclámalo fuerte, como Pablo lo dijo!
¡Con valentía, sin vergüenza, despierto estoy!

¡Rompe cadenas! ¡Libera al cautivo!
¡Da vista al ciego que busca el camino!
¡El tiempo de luchar ha llegado!
¡Que tu pueblo se alce en gloria y luz!

Por Ti camino, en Tu voluntad
Dejo mis miedos, encuentro paz
¡Tú eres el camino, la verdad y la vida!
¡Llena mi espíritu, dame poder!

Para ser bandera de tu verdad
Y seguir de pie, aunque vuelva a caer
¡El temor de Dios me quebrantará!
¡Para ser testigo en esta ciudad!

¡Cristo, mi Rey, a Ti yo canto!
¡Por siempre y siempre al sonar la trompeta!
¡Proclámalo fuerte, como Pablo lo dijo!
¡Con valentía, sin vergüenza, despierto estoy!

¡Vivo por Ti y solo por Ti!
¡Mirando al trono que está en el cielo!

¡Jesús, el Salvador! — ¡Iglesia, levántate!
¡Abre tu corazón! — ¡Que Su gloria se multiplique!
¡Guía este Refugio, Señor, adelante!
¡Para ser la luz en este gran día!

Ven, Señor

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

---------------------

The truth decides where I should go
'Cause Your love and mercy lead me home
Once I fell, but Your hand raised me up
My heart was broken, now You filled my cup

So light the fire, awake the sea
I was captive in hell, but now I'm free
Like never before, I long for more
For You, my Lord, now and forevermore

Oh, Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
This dead man walks, but now I'm found
So devil, stand down, go burn in hell
This war for my soul, I'll never sell
Amazing Grace, Amazing Grace

I see the shore, a life of prayer
I've been waiting all my life to care
Here I am, take my soul
I'll be Yours at the break of dawn

Come wake me up, come shake me now
Break me down, Lord, mold me now
Like never before, I long for more
For You, my Lord, now and forevermore

Oh, Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
This dead man walks, but now I'm found
So devil, stand down, go burn in hell
This war for my soul, I'll never sell
Amazing Grace, Amazing Grace

You broke me down, then lifted me high
When I was lost, You opened my eyes
Like never before at heaven's door
I fell to my knees—I'm a slave no more

Living in fear just ain't enough
I'd rather rise, start a revival
This is my land, my home, my pride
A lifetime later, it's time to rise

Sow the seeds of life, bring back the fight
Wear the armor strong, prepare to strike
Against the lies that break us down
We'll rise above with victory's sound

Something inside you is searching deep
Searching for truth—the truth you seek
And only the truth shall set you free

"For God so loved the world
That He sent His only Son
That whoever believes in Him
Shall never die, but overcome"

It's the fight I tried so hard to win
But His mercy broke the chains within
My soul once trapped in a liar's web
My body sold on a bed of death

But thank the Lord—I broke that door
And now my soul will dance once more
On heaven's floor, where my name is known
Where I'm redeemed, where I am whole

Oh, Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
This dead man walks, but now I'm found
So devil, stand down, go burn in hell
This war for my soul, I'll never sell

Amazing Grace, Amazing Grace

I am found, I am found!

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

---------------------

You called yourself a believer
Dropped to your knees in prayer
Came to me like an angel
Pulled me out of despair
But I was blind to the mask
Fooled by the light in your eyes
Then you turned cold in a flash
Left me lost in your lies

You're smooth when you play the part
No rules, no beating heart
Chase thrill, then walk away
While you hum your song of shame

This cancer eats away my soul
You rise while I lose control
You wear the crown, I bear the cross
If love means this— I count it lost
You kneel like a saint in white
But your flames burn too bright
Just a narcissist in disguise
Leaving my ashes behind

We were the ones who believed
We just wanted to love
But you turned from the light
Like we're not good enough
You preach like it's you and God
While judging my broken place
You shine in the crowd with grace
But I see the devil's face

You don't stand for truth tonight
Just chaos in disguise
So take your holy show
And leave us all behind

This cancer eats away my soul
You rise while I lose control
You wear the crown, I bear the cross
If love means this— I count it lost
You kneel like a saint in white
But your flames burn too bright
Just a narcissist in disguise
Leaving my ashes behind

You know who you are, yeah!
Two-faced, cold and charmed
Claim God's name while you lie
Tear us down, then hide
You've broken what was sacred
Played with souls like games
But I won't kneel to your evil
You've already burned your name

This cancer eats away my soul
You rise while I lose control
You wear the crown, I bear the cross
If love means this— I count it lost
You kneel like a saint in white
But your flames burn too bright
Just a narcissist in disguise
Leaving my ashes behind

You don't speak for my King
Just hollow rejection
Take your mask and leave
I'm done with deception

Saint in White

---------------------

Desperta e liberta-te  
Ergue-te para o mundo ver  
Não tenhas medo de orar  
Quando a luz romper o dia  

Pois a morte é uma honra  
A verdade que conheci  
No chão vazio abaixo  
Meus olhos vou abrir  

Tua glória revelada  
Na graça que sinto  
Onde a vida rompeu  
No silêncio de Ti  

Tua voz sussurra forte  
Da fonte do avivamento  
Onde os caídos vão se erguer  
Em esperança e alento  
A hora está chegando  
O momento chegou  
É a calma antes da tempestade  
Fala fé, não temor  

Esta vida é um sopro  
Que passa num piscar  
Pensas que isto é tudo  
Mas há muito mais  

Os anos vão passando  
A eternidade chama  
É teu coração agora  
Levanta, prepara-te  

Guarda os olhos puros  
Mantém corações santos  
Custe o que custar  
Em todos os momentos  

Muitos falam  
Poucos entram  
Mas Sua palavra  
Dura para sempre  

Levanta, levanta antes da tormenta  
Luta, luta—Ele te transforma  
No silêncio de Ti  
Tua graça nos alcança  

Tua voz sussurra forte  
Da fonte do avivamento  
Onde os caídos vão se erguer  
Em esperança e alento  
A hora está chegando  
O momento chegou  
É a calma antes da tempestade  
Fala fé, não temor  

Para sempre, para sempre  
Sua palavra é para sempre  
Para sempre, para sempre  

Para sempre...  
Para sempre...

Guns and arrows burning in the night
Strike me cold my blind, I won’t hide
Hell froze over, let the battle rage
Forged in flames—I break the cage
The light explodes, I hear Him near
Grace like thunder is crushing fear
I rise from ash, I light the spark
I won’t run quiet into the dark --- 

Eternity screams, and the angels roar
For every loss, You bled and bore
The sky will split, the earth will shake
When heaven calls—I rise awake --- 

Speak life to the wreckage, peace to the sea Split the tide, make the broken believe 
Time is ticking, the end draws near 
Don’t bow down—stand up, break fear ---

No more chains! No more lies! 
I see through the serpent's eyes!
Light the fuse, let the world ignite! 
I walk with fire. I walk in Light. --- 

Eternity screams, the angels roar 
For every loss, You bled and bore 
The sky will split, the earth will shake 
When heaven calls—I rise awake 
Yeah, I rise free—I rise awake! 
(Awake in the fire… Awake in the fire…)

Rise Awake

---------------------

You want to dream, Malena
High heels through the town
But one broke on the curb, dear
Don't let beauty bring you down

Malena, Malena
You paint the town red
I hope you see the color
And hear the words I said

He's got that charming smile
Something I'll never know
While I watch from the shadows
Where broken hearts all go

Malena, Malena
You paint the town red
I hope you see the color
And hear the words I said

Years pass like fleeting seconds
My heart grows weak with time
Lord, I'm drowning in this longing
Will salvation ever be mine?

Oh God, her beautiful face
And his eyes that steal the light
She smiles as he holds her
While I just cry alone at night

If I don't find some healing
I'm bound to fall apart
My life's become a prayer, God
For someone to want this heart

Malena, Malena
You paint the town red
I hope you see the color
And hear the words I said

I only ever asked for love
From a child to broken man
I have so much to give, dear
If you'd just take my hand

Malena, Malena
You paint the town red
I hope you hear me calling
And remember what I said

Malena

------------------------

When life slips away
Wait for the light
Don't hold back now
Soon out of sight
But not forgotten

Like smoke in the wind
We fade and fall
But something waits
Beyond it all
In the silence

Don't think it's the end
It's just begun
You'll see the truth
In the fire of the Son
When the pain is done

He's waiting there
You don't need to fear
Don't run away
Hope is drawing near
Through the darkness

Don't think it's the end
It's just begun
You'll see the truth
In the fire of the Son
When the pain is done

I've been so afraid
Of letting go
But maybe dying
Is how we grow

Wake up, heaven starts here
Death can't hold us
Fear was the lie
We're already free
Wake up, wake up
You're coming home

After life... there's Life
After dark... there's Light
Wake up
You're home

Beautiful light... freedom light...

Beautiful light, freedom light
The one that burns so bright
Fire consuming all my fear
From broken to life, You draw me near

Our spirits alive, we break the chains
Never ending, freedom reigns
In the darkness, You're the flame
Nothing left will be the same

His sacrifice, the blood that shed
Breaking chains around my head
Knees are falling, voices calling
Can you hear the angels calling?

Praise, the praise, the only praise is You
The One, the One who came breaking through
Who came to bargain for the lost and slain
A lamb slain so we could live again
We are forever saved
Forever saved

The trial is won, victory's here
By Your stripes, the way is clear
Hope in color, paint the sky
Yours eternally, we're lifted high

Every chain that held us down
Shattered by Your thorny crown
In the fire, we are refined
Old ways left so far behind

Two or more, the church will rise
See the fire in our eyes
Enter holy flame, we're calling
Can you hear the heavens calling?

Praise, the praise, the only praise is You
The One, the One who came breaking through
Who came to bargain for the lost and slain
A lamb slain so we could live again
We are forever saved
Forever saved

Sons and daughters, hear the sound
All say amen, all bow down
Paradise is calling out our name
Nothing ever feels the same

Back to earth but we have changed
Back to earth, we're not the same!
Beautiful light, freedom light
We rise! We rise! We rise tonight!

Praise, the praise, the only praise is You
The One, the One who came breaking through
Who came to bargain for the lost and slain
A lamb slain so we could live again

We are forever saved
Nothing left to fear
We are forever saved
Forever saved!

Sons and daughters, all say
Amen, amen
Sons and daughters, all say
Amen, amen
Amen...

Like morning light upon the sea
The Lord returns in majesty
His presence near, a breath, a flame
Our hearts arise to praise His name

Prepare the soul, the dawn draws near
The King of glory will soon appear

Hallelujah, His kingdom is at hand
Hearts awakened, across the land
Rise and believe, the truth will stand
His love endures, by His strong hand

The desert winds begin to call
Trumpets sound from temple wall
From Cyprus' shores to Zion's hill
The voice of God is speaking still

From land to land, across the sea
His glory shines for all to see
Darkness breaks where He draws near
The morning star will soon appear

Hallelujah, His kingdom is at hand
Hearts awakened, across the land
Rise and believe, the truth will stand
His love endures, by His strong hand

Prepare the way, the hour is late
Make straight the path, unlock the gate
The ancient Word shall not be changed
His glory soon will fall like rain

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord of Hosts
Heaven and earth proclaim You most
Glory, glory fills the skies
We rise! We rise! The Lord will rise!

Hallelujah, the kingdom is at hand
Hearts awakened, across the land
Rise and believe, the truth will stand
His love endures, by His strong hand

Amen... He comes...
Hosanna... In the highest...

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

-----------------------

Walking by the shoreline, salt air fills my chest
Fighting for a vision, put my heart up to the test
But the waves came crashing, knocked me to my knees
Broken but still breathing, learning how to believe

Fear runs like poison
Through my weary veins
But I'm done with all the voices
Driving me insane

No time left to waste, can you hear my beating heart?
Won't stay lost and fading, falling apart
There's a place where the restless find their home
Come and find me, come and find me
I don't want to drown alone

Every dawn's a reminder of the dreams I let slip by
Growing tired of the questions, tired of asking why
This ain't how I planned it, this ain't who I thought I'd be
All I ever wanted was for someone to see me

What a fool to trust in
Promises that fade
I'm done with empty shadows
Time to break the chains I've made

No time left to waste, can you hear my beating heart?
Won't stay lost and fading, falling apart
There's a place where the restless find their home
Come and find me, come and find me
I don't want to drown alone

Give me one more moment
Give me room to see
I've been calling through the darkness
God, set my spirit free

All these broken pieces
Scattered on the ground
I'm tired of the silence
And this empty sound

Of my voice just echoing
In this hollow space
I need something real now
I need to see Your face

No time left to waste, can you hear my beating heart?
Won't stay lost and fading, falling apart
There's a place where the restless find their home
Come and find me, come and find me
I don't want to drown alone

I'm reaching out, I'm calling out
I won't drown alone
Save me now, save me now
I don't want to drown alone

Come Find Me

I'm letting it go tonight
Waiting in the dark alone
But the voices start to haunt me
Cut me right down to the bone

All I want is to feel again
Without drowning in this pain
Like a blade inside my chest
I'm going insane

I don't see a way out, God
Show me another way
I'm down here on my knees
Nothing left to say

Take it away, take it away
Take away the pain
I'm waiting in the dark
Take it away

I'm alone and suffocating
While the world just moves ahead
Will I ever find some peace?
Or am I better off dead?

They all seem to have it made
What the hell went wrong with me?
My beaten soul is breaking
Why won't you set me free?

I don't see a way out, God
Show me another way
I'm down here on my knees
Nothing left to say

Take it away, take it away
Take away the pain
I'm waiting in the dark
Take it away

Screaming through the silence
No one hears me fall
Every breath is violence
I've got nothing left at all

Tell me there's a reason
To survive another night

I can't see a way out, God
Maybe there's no way
I'm still here on my knees
But I don't know what to say

Take it away, take it away
Take away the pain
I'm dying in the dark
Take it away

Take it away
Take it away
I'm dying in the dark

I've broken down the walls beneath my feet
Something's rising up inside of me
Heaven's fire burning in my chest
A breath of life but I need some rest

I've been searching for the place I'm from
Walking endless roads under blazing sun
No weight's too heavy in this great unknown
But I won't forget the kingdom's throne

Hallelujah, I'll find my way
Through the pain I'll seize the day
Eternity's the only road I'll ever know
I'll take this world and steal the show

Don't look down at the shifting sand
Quicksand waiting to drag you in
Walk up higher, don't make a sound
Once was lost but now I am found

But the voices echo in my head
Tell me I'd be better off dead
Still I rise above the doubt and shame
'Cause I know You're calling out my name

Hallelujah, I'll find my way
Through the pain I'll seize the day
Eternity's the only road I'll ever know
I'll take this world and steal the show

Tear down every wall of lies
Fight through the darkest night
No devil's gonna stop me now
I'll stand and fight

Forever at war
For the truth that saves

Now I'm back here on my knees again
You said You'd meet me in my pain
So I choose to trust and let You lead
Break me down if that's what I need

Hallelujah, I'll find my way
Through the pain I'll seize the day
Eternity's the only road I'll ever know
I'll take this world and steal the show

I'll find my way
I'll seize the day
Forever at war
For the truth that saves

Beggar in the night  
Shadows come alive  
Break down the walls now  
The beast will survive  

You can't tame it  
Won't bow down and kneel  
Wipe away that mask  

Open up your eyes  
See through the disguise  

Wake up from the nightmare  
Break these chains you wear  
The beast inside is calling  
But you don't have to care  
Stand up from the wreckage  
Find the truth you've lost  
Break free from the darkness  
No matter what it costs  

Push the world away  
As it turns its back  
You chose a lie  
Lost inside the trap  

They sold you reflections  
Built on broken trust  
This pain is all too real  

Open up your eyes  
See through the disguise  

Wake up from the nightmare  
Break these chains you wear  
The beast inside is calling  
But you don't have to care  
Stand up from the wreckage  
Find the truth you've lost  
Break free from the darkness  
No matter what it costs  

The mirror's cracking slowly  
Watch the false self die  
No more empty promises  
No more living lies  

Wake up from the nightmare  
Break these chains you wear  
The beast inside is calling  
But you don't have to fear  
Rise up from the ashes  
Find the truth you've lost  
Break free from the darkness  
You're worth any cost  

Break free from the darkness  
You're worth any cost

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Fall down, fall down…  
(But I won't stay here…)  
Fall down, fall down…  
(Rise above fear…)  

Hiding in the shadows  
Far from the light  
Fallen out of sight  
In echoes cold and hollow  

Death swings the gallows  
The hammer strikes the steel  
Blood rains in colors  
But nothing ever heals  

This world is breaking  
Still I won't give in  

Burn it down, burn it down  
Let the war begin  
The risk defies reason, but I won't run now  
I fight through the pain though they stole my crown  
Thorns in my side, but I won't let go  
'Cause the war I'm in runs deeper than they know  

Chains try to hold me  
But pain became a prayer  
I cry through the silence  
There's freedom in despair  

Scars tell my story  
But shame lost its sting  
From ashes to glory  
My soul starts to sing  

Still I'm breathing  
On this battleground  

Burn it down, burn it down  
I'm not backing down  
The risk defies reason, but I won't run now  
I fight through the pain though they stole my crown  
Thorns in my side, but I won't let go  
'Cause the war I'm in runs deeper than they know  

The darkness tried to end me  
But the light broke through  
A whisper became thunder  
Made me something new  

Hope's not just a whisper  
It's a battle cry  
I was born to stand here  
I will never die!  

The risk defies reason, but I won't break down  
I walk through the flames with a victor's crown  
Thorns in my side, but the fire flows  
Yeah, I rise again—stronger than they know  

Fall down, fall down…  
But I rise  
Still I rise  
Never die!

Fall Down

No boundaries left to conquer
Don't know how I keep surviving

God, the devil's got me bound
Between comfort and the fear
Fear to live, that's all I know

Too afraid to break these chains
'Cause there's food upon my plate
But I know it's just a lie
Just a hoax to keep me caged

Loneliness won't break my spirit
Even when it stalks behind me
Oppression swallows up the soul
Leaves you empty and defiant
Still I rise above the wreckage

Time to trust and break the slumber
Though I'll walk this road alone
Walk alone, but I'm not broken

Too afraid to break these chains
'Cause there's food upon my plate
But I know it's just a lie
Just a hoax to keep me caged

See the masses buying comfort
Trading souls for false security
While I'm screaming at the silence
They're all drowning willingly
But I won't sink down beside them

Time to trust and break the slumber
Though I'll walk this road alone
Walk alone, but I'm not broken

Too afraid to break these chains
'Cause there's food upon my plate
But I know it's just a lie
Just a hoax to keep me caged

Watch them fall to lesser arms
Men who'll never love them right
While I burn here with the fire
They will never even find
Never find this burning truth
Never know what sets me free

Done with fear, I'll break these chains
Let them keep their poisoned plate
'Cause I know it's just a lie
Just a hoax to keep us caged

Screw this world, I'll find my heaven
Do it all on my own terms
My own terms!
Break these chains!
Break these chains!
(I'm breaking free!)
(Free at last!)



On My Terms

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos

------------------------

Summer is hard and full of temptation
A season where the haves have it better than ever
A season where the lonely break into pieces
I can't deal with it, seeing her just tears me apart
She's laughing in the sun with someone new
While I'm watching from the shadows, nothing I can do

Out of my depth and out of my reach
Gave up on the swiping, but I don't care
But I'd rather die alone than be another number in a vicious cycle
I choose my suffering over being a number

It's a mess
Ten years on the screen and the story is always the same
There's always another option
There's always something better in their eyes
That's the illusion of choice
The illusion of death

Years of swiping, years of hope
Years of messages that helped me cope
Until the silence came, until they disappeared
Into someone else's bed, someone else's dreams
The pattern never breaks, it just repeats
Another face, another ghost, another heart that beats
For anyone but me

It's a mess
Ten years on those things and the story is always the same
There's always another option
There's always something better in their eyes
That's the illusion of choice
The illusion of death

The ones at the top of the pyramid will always get it good
At the expense of what?
All those begging for a chance
They get the matches, we get the silence
They get the dates, we get the violence
It's a sick world
Built on our loneliness

God save me from myself
Save me from the temptation
Save me from the pain
I'm praying for a way out
If there's a way
God save me from myself
Save me from the summer
Save me

It's a mess
Ten years on those things and the story is always the same
There's always another option
There's always something better in their eyes
That's the illusion of choice
The illusion of death
When nothing's ever enough

Bring on the summer time
Bring on the summer time
Bring on the heat that burns
Bring on the truth that hurts
Bring on the summer time
I'll face it alone
Bring on the summer time
I choose my suffering

Illusion of Death

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

I don't know how to pray
I don't know how to pray
Oh God, I don't know how to pray
It's been so long since I tried

It's been so long since we caught up
Made amends, but I went away
Let my sorrows take control
I messed up, God, I lost my way

In my suffering I found a fix
It became my addiction
Never pleasure, always pain
I never take delight in betrayal

Hear me, hear me when I'm calling
Don't go, catch me when I'm falling
You're the one that knows me best
When life falls you hold me close to your chest

Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Like a child that you adore
You see me pure through all the dirt
Eyes of beauty I can't ignore
But I still feel shame from all that hurt

From all the times I fell down
From all the times I broke apart
All the times I hit the ground
All the scars upon my heart

Hear me, hear me when I'm calling
Don't go, catch me when I'm falling
You're the one that knows me best
When life falls you hold me to your chest

Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Whisper in my ear tonight
Even if I'm all alone
Whisper words to my soul
Even if I'll fall again

Let me know I'm yours
Don't let me go

Hear me, hear me when I'm calling
Don't go, catch me when I'm falling
You're the one that knows me best
When life falls you hold me to your chest

Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Don't leave this broken mess behind
Don't let me go
Don't leave this broken mess behind
Don't let me go

Whisper words to my soul
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go



Don't Let Me Go

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Why do you travel...

Why do you travel the world?
To find the missing piece?
You think you'll find it somewhere
Something to make you complete?

But wait, take a step back
Look around and see
All the things you missed
The things that could have been

The blossom of the tree
It's the details you miss
When you think there's something better
It's the truth you wish

God told me to make life simple
'Cause He wants me to come HOME!
No more searching for belonging
'Cause in Him I'll be known
Only one thing can change
The home worth fighting for

I went to France and Belgium
Down to Spain
But wherever I went
The pain felt the same

Searching for love
In all the wrong places
When I should have looked up
And found His graces

The blossom of the tree
It's the details you miss
When you think there's something better
It's the truth you wish

God told me to make life simple
'Cause He wants me to come HOME!
No more searching for belonging
'Cause in Him I'll be known
Only one thing can change
The home worth fighting for

What a fool to think
That running could change it all
What a fool to think
That distance could heal it all
I was so lost, so blind
But now I know...
Now I KNOW!

Now I see the path was always there
Right beneath my feet
All those miles I walked away from You
Just to find my way back home
Just to find my way back home

God told me to make life simple
'Cause He wants me to come HOME!
No more searching for belonging
'Cause in Him I'll be known

God told me to make life simple
'Cause He wants me to come HOME!
No more searching for belonging
'Cause in Him I'll be known
Only one thing can change
The home worth fighting for
The home worth fighting for!

The home worth fighting for...
Just to find my way back home...
The home worth fighting for...

The Home Worth Fighting For

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

I fought my soul
Deep in desire
Almost stole me
Burned me in fire
Lost in desperation
Drowning in despair
Darkness pulls me under
Nobody seems to care

Can't you see we're breaking
Can't you see we're falling apart

Good must suffer
Wicked survive
Lost will follow
The great divide
Chaos in our lives
Just isn't fair
We're falling, falling
To the great divide
We're falling, falling
Can't escape the divide

Good and evil
Line so thin
Think you're righteous
Lie wrapped in sin
Deception rising
Youth lost their way
Follow darkness
To dying day

Can't you see we're breaking
Can't you see we're torn apart

Good must suffer
Wicked survive
Lost will follow
The great divide
Chaos in our lives
Just isn't fair
We're falling, falling
To the great divide
We're falling, falling
To the great divide

Walked through the valley
Doubt and fear
Whispers of evil
All you hear
Weight of darkness
Crush my soul
But deep inside me
Still in control

Can't you see we're breaking
Can't you see we're torn apart

Good must suffer
Wicked survive
Lost will follow
The great divide
Chaos in our lives
Just isn't fair
We're falling, falling
To the great divide
We're falling, falling
To the great divide

What happens next?
We pay the cost
Wages of sin
Death at all cost
Death is coming
Death is coming
DEATH IS COMING NOW!
Still time to choose
Still time to rise
Still time to break free
From all these lies
BREAK FREE!
BREAK FREE NOW!

You can break free
Care what's next
God gave you choice
Still have what's left
Don't let them suffer
Don't let evil survive
Don't let lost follow
The great divide
Still hope in this life
Choose what's right
We're rising, rising
From the great divide
We're rising, rising
BEYOND THE GREAT DIVIDE!

Only way
Care what's next
God gave you choice
Still have what's left
Battle's not over
War's not won
Light breaks darkness
Morning has come
Still have what's left
Still have what's left
(Whispered) Still have what's left
(Echo fades) What's left... what's left...

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Little honey bee
Cherry picked from the tree
Sweet and deadly
That's what you are
Poison hiding
Behind every scar

Tied up in surrender
Gazing up to heaven
Can't remember what I'm fighting for
What am I fighting for

Honey and daggers
That's all you are
Honey and daggers
Gone too far
Sweet lies and violence
Deep in my soul
Losing myself
Losing control

Blood is in the air
Secrets everywhere
Hidden truths beneath
Your perfect skin
Let the chaos begin
Let the chaos begin

Greater heights mean nothing
When you drag me down below
To a world I didn't want to know
What did I want to know

Honey and daggers
That's all you are
Honey and daggers
Gone too far
Sweet lies and violence
Deep in my soul
Losing myself
Losing control

Jezebel come whisper
Sing your poison song
I believed your promises
But I was wrong
I was wrong
I WAS WRONG!
EVERYTHING'S WRONG!

Honey and daggers
That's all we are
Honey and daggers
Gone too far
Sweet lies and violence
Burning my soul
Losing myself
OUT OF CONTROL!

Just a ghost in the night
Just a ghost in the night
Honey and daggers
Just a ghost in the night
Just a ghost in the night
Honey and daggers
Just a ghost

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

When I leave this world, just leave me alone
Nobody cared, I was unknown
Suffering here, broken and cold
Never been loved, never been whole

I'd rather die than feel this way
Nothing left, nothing to say
They stole the light I had inside

Don't come near me, stay away
Even heaven turned its face
I'm just a ghost inside this shell
Burning in my private hell

Wasted years and bitter nights
Chasing ghosts and dying lights
Every door I tried to open
Left me beaten, left me broken

I'd rather die than feel this way
Nothing left, nothing to say
They stole the light I had inside

Don't come near me, stay away
Even heaven turned its face
I'm just a ghost inside this shell
Burning in my private hell

I never let go of you, my child
Don't walk that ledge, don't be beguiled
Let me reach you through your pain
Rest here with me, I know your name

I am your God, I catch your tears
There's still a purpose in your years
Come back to me, come home tonight
You're not alone in this fight

Listen to the words I've said
You are chosen, far from dead
You're a flame in endless night
A warrior born to fight

My blood was shed, it covers you
To bring you back and make you new
Repent, be free, lift up your eyes
I feel your wounds, I hear your cries

Justice will rise, your soul restored
Your crown awaits at heaven's door

Could You still love me after all this time?
Could You heal what's no longer mine?
If there's still a way, I want to try
If You're still here, don't let me die

I've always been here, come back to me
I've always been here, you're finally free

Come back to me, come back to me




Come Back To Me

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

I'm waiting for you
Deep within the silence
Broken down in pieces
Drowning in the violence
Lost inside the night
Dead inside my dreams
A ghost without a fight
Nothing's what it seems

Wake up again and
Scream into the void
You're buried alive
Six feet underground

Wait 'til it ends now
Don't think it's over
No escape from hell
In the red October
Red October!

They tell you what to be
They spit right in your face
"You ain't enough, boy
You're nothing but disgrace"

But she gets validation
Like a queen upon her throne
Don't need a real voice
When you're dying here alone

Trying to find my way
Just to feel safe at home
Dream on or give up
You're bleeding here alone

Wait 'til it ends now
Don't think it's over
No escape from hell
In the red October
Red October!

Forget about your life
You don't measure up
In this game of lies
You're never enough

They're watching... always watching...
Every click, every breath, every move...
They know your fears...
They feed on your soul...

No matter what you say
Nothing gets you through
God can't hear your prayers
When you don't know what's true

These algorithms gave the power
To the belly of the beast
Your soul becomes the content
At this digital feast

I can't give up now, God
Though it feels like the end
This war I cannot win
Without you to defend

But I'm still breathing...
Still fighting...
Still alive...
Still here...

So lift me up now
When my breath runs out
Even when I fall
Even when I doubt

Wait 'til it ends now
Don't think it's over
No escape from hell
In the red October

Wait 'til it ends now
Fight until it's over
There's a way out of hell
Break the red October

They can't break us down!
Red October!
They can't shut us out!
Red October!
We will break these chains!
Break the red October!
We will end their reign!
We'll break it down!

Red October!
I won't break down
Red October!
I won't back down
Red October!
Break the red October
Red October!
We'll break it down

In the red October
We find our power
In the red October
This is our hour
RED OCTOBER!

Break the red October...
This is our hour...
Red October...

Red October

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

In another world...
(Another world...)
I see you there...
(I see you there...)

I see you in another world
Your heart so pure, untouched by the wicked
Can it be so sure
That you live in the now?
In the chaos of this sound
Ringing inside the minds
Of the broken but breathing
(Broken but breathing...)

You see me like I matter
Though my world says I don't
You tell me I'm special
Though my world calls me a fault
(Am I worth it?)
(Am I worth it at all?)

Who gave you these eyes to see so long?
Though you're not here, I still hear your song
Like it matters, like it's sacred
I never knew it could be true
I fell so far, drowning in this pain
Is it possible to be made anew?
Made anew?
(Tell me it's possible)
(Tell me it's true)

She walks past me like a shadow
Yet you stand in mine
She calls me a fool
But you see the divine
These shattered pieces scattered
On the ground where I fell
But your voice keeps calling
Through this war inside
(Keep calling me home)
(Through this war inside...)

You see me like I matter
Though my world says I don't
You tell me I'm special
Though my world calls me a fault
(Am I worth it?)
(Am I worth it at all?)

Who gave you these eyes to see so long?
Though you're not here, I still hear your song
Like it matters, like it's sacred
I never knew it could be true
I fell so far, drowning in this pain
Is it possible to be made anew?
Made anew?
(Tell me it's possible)
(Tell me it's true)

Need to get back right with my father
Though it's still a long road to forgiveness
I know he's out there
On a heavenly throne
(He's waiting there)
But I could use the help, you know
I can't just fight it alone
There's mercy for the seeds I've sewn
(Seeds I've sewn...)
(I'm ready to come home)

Maybe she's still out there
Maybe she'll fly away
Maybe she'll never exist
But for your heart, I will pray
Who gave you these eyes to see so long?
Though you're not here, I still hear your song
'Cause yours is a heart worth fighting for
A heart worth fighting for
Worth fighting for
(I'll keep fighting)
(For you, I'll keep fighting)

Who gave you these eyes?
(Worth fighting for)
To see so long?
(Worth fighting for)
I never knew it could be true
(It's possible)
But now I know it's possible
(Made anew)
A heart worth fighting for...
(In another world...)
(I see you there...)

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Can't escape this digital hell
Something's broken, can't you tell?

I can't help but fall away
Heart pounds harder in the heat of shame
Need to save my soul, break these chains
Find me crawling through the decay

I need you father, need to believe
Too long lost in doubt and deceit
Just a man breaking down, won't retreat
But you won't win, I keep breathing

The algorithm bleeds
When real souls break free
You won't be the death of me
Won't be the death of me

Kill the screen, destroy this face
Enough is enough, done with this race
(Enough is enough!)
You took my mind, my time, my soul
Left me with an empty hole

I'm climbing out, I'm climbing out
Taking control, taking control

Empty promises on glowing screens
Fed me poison through machines
Chasing ghosts and losing sleep
Trading souls for dopamine

Addiction burns like acid rain
Digital chains around my brain
Breaking through the static noise
Learning to trust my voice

The devil can weep
When redemption runs deep
You won't be the death of me
Won't be the death of me

Kill the screen, destroy this face
Enough is enough, done with this race
(Enough is enough!)
You stole my peace, you stole my soul
Left me in an empty hole

I'm climbing out, I'm climbing out
Breaking the mold, breaking the mold

I'll walk to nowhere, breathe real air
Better than your digital snare
Sorry world, I ain't buying
What you're selling while I'm dying

Kill the screen, destroy this face
Enough is enough, you've lost this race
(You've lost this race!)
You had my mind, my time, my soul
But left me in an empty hole

I'm climbing out, I'm climbing out
(Rising up!)
Taking control, taking control
(Watch me unfold!)

Find me where the silence calls
I rise from digital decay
This is resurrection day
Resurrection day

------------------------

Grip the wheel, save my life
Split second, everything dies
Highway to hell, lost my way
Done running away

One moment to end it all
One moment God calls
Won't let myself fall

Can't keep up this double life
Drugs are killing my soul
Poison running through my veins
I'm losing control
Gotta get help, gotta get sober
Turn my life around
Turn my life around

Fall to my knees, find some grace
Long road to hell, saw the light
Shaking hands, hollow eyes
Done living lies

Fire burning at my heels
Lost the power to feel
Grace breaks through, now it's real

Can't keep up this double life
Drugs are killing my soul
Poison running through my veins
I'm losing control
Gotta get help, gotta get sober
Turn my life around
Turn my life around

Hand out of nowhere
Saved me from my mind
Took the wheel away
Showed me I'm not blind
Light was waiting
Road leads home

Can't keep up this double life
Drugs are killing my soul
Poison running through my veins
I'm losing control
Gotta get help, gotta get sober
Turn my life around
(Something to believe in)
Turn my life around  
(Give me strength to breathe)
Turn my life around
Now I'm free

Learning how to live again
Learning how to breathe
Someone I was meant to be
Now I'm free

Yeah, yeah, yeah  
Three quarters round this broken globe  
You speak in tongues I never known  
Way on the other side of pain  
You reach me through the acid rain  
(Let's go!)

A sudden grace just hit me, never knew it could be so (Woah!)  
Heart like yours, I can't let go, even when the world says no (No!)  
How to be a fool again? Watching all my dreams just die (Die!)  
Breaking my heart piece by piece, but there you are on the other side (Side!)  

Somehow you know my name when I don't even know myself (Self!)  
Counting all the times I failed, put my hope up on the shelf (Shelf!)  
My ravaged body, ravaged soul, they took it all, left me for dead (Dead!)  
Yet you see me, somehow you reach me, when I can't escape my head (Head!)  

PRICELESS!

Tell me how, tell me how  
Tell me how you see me now  
Divine love, divine love  
Nothing I was dreaming of  

How are you so pure to see  
What nobody else believed  
Are you divine, can you be mine  
Can you stand the test of time  

This priceless love, priceless love  
Lifting me above the flood  
This priceless love, priceless love  
You're everything I'm dreaming of  

How many promises were made, how many hopes just turned to dust  
How many dreams left broken while I'm learning who to trust  
Avoiding plague inside my soul, slow death in my hollow hole  
You pray for my life each night, show me how to make me whole  

If only I could do the same, fall down on my knees and pray  
Whatever it takes to repay, I'll give my life away  
From the depths of my despair to the heights of what could be  
Your love's the only thing that ever really set me free  

Tell me how, tell me how  
Tell me how you see me now  
Divine love, divine love  
Nothing I was dreaming of  

How are you so pure to see  
What nobody else believed  
Are you divine, can you be mine  
Can you stand the test of time  

This priceless love, priceless love  
Lifting me above the flood  
This priceless love, priceless love  
You're everything I'm dreaming of  

Three quarters round the world you came  
To find me drowning in my shame  
You reached across the void of time  
To whisper that you could be mine  

How are you so pure to see  
What nobody else believed  
You are divine, now you're mine  
We will stand the test of time  

This priceless love, priceless love  
Lifted me above the flood  
This priceless love, priceless love  
You're everything I'm dreaming of  

This priceless love  
This priceless love  
Nothing else could lift me up  
This priceless love  

Three quarters round this world we'll go (We'll go!)  
Some things only heaven knows (It knows!)  
Never be the same again (Again!)  
Priceless love will always win (Always win!)  

Priceless love priceless love  
Always win

------------------------

At the edge of the cliff, stones started to fall
The weight of my sin's calling
Hope and fear standing tall
At this crossroads I remain

Cut through the lies and panic
Cut through the fear and shame
Show me what grace really means
When I'm drowning in this pain

I waged war on my soul
About to fall, but still You hold

You love me at my weakest
You saved me on my knees
You gave me a reason to breathe
Jesus, You have set me free
Jesus, You have set me free

When I woke today, I craved her touch
Chasing empty love, but it's never enough
Put my heart out on the line
Searching for what I'll never find

Should I chase the world tonight?
Or walk into Your light?
While these fools fight for the crown
My King will never let me down

I can't win this on my own
Take my heart, it's Yours alone

You love me at my weakest
You saved me on my knees
You gave me a reason to breathe
Jesus, You have set me free
Jesus, You have set me free

I don't need these worldly chains
I don't need this guilt and shame
I'm a child of the Most High
I'm a child of the Most High
Let the heavens testify!
Let the heavens testify!

You love me at my weakest
You saved me on my knees
You gave me a reason to breathe
Jesus, You have set me free

At the edge of the cliff
But Your hand won't let me fall
I found my reason to fight
I found my Savior through it all

Through it all, through it all
My Savior through it all
I choose Him, I choose Him

Edge of the Cliff

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Forgot my pills today
Made a sharp turn from grace
Her eyes could steal my soul away
On these ghost roads I ride alone
Fighting just to make it home

They don't know this prison cell
They don't feel this living hell
Only Heaven breaks these chains
While the world just walks away

Every angel gets more beautiful each night
Every demon cuts me deeper with their lies
I'm bleeding in this wasteland
Reaching for Your saving hand

But I believe You died to save me
Though I'm drowning in this war
I will trust in what I cannot see
You're the God worth dying for

Desire hits like thunder now
Leaves me broken, crying out
Her fire burns beyond these bars
God, Your love could heal these scars
Resurrect this dying heart

They don't know this battlefield
They don't know what mercy feels
Only You can end this pain
Wash me clean with holy rain

Every angel gets more beautiful each night
Every demon cuts me deeper with their lies
I'm bleeding in this wasteland
Reaching for Your saving hand

But I believe You died to save me
Though I'm drowning in this war
I will trust in what I cannot see
You're the God worth dying for

Thank God I crawled out of the grave
Thank God Your blood still saves
Thank God You took my shame away
Thank God I'll see You face to face

What if I'm too far gone?
What if my faith's not strong?
What if You can't hear my song?

But I KNOW! I KNOW!
YOU'RE THE KING OF KINGS!
YOU'RE EVERYTHING!

I won't die lost in this fight
You're my fortress, You're my light
I will rise up from this wasteland
'Cause You hold me in Your hand

YES I BELIEVE You died to save me
Though I'm bleeding through this war
I will trust in what I cannot see
YOU'RE THE GOD WORTH LIVING FOR!

You're the God worth living for
You're the God worth dying for
You're my King
You're my King
You're my everything
YOU'RE MY EVERYTHING!

------------------------

Mile high, mind low
Colorado, Colorado

Colorado's got me locked inside my head
Mental prison walls painted crimson red
Time collapse, mind snaps, demons come to play
Lost between who I am and what they say

Fourteen thousand feet but I can't breathe right
Neon crosses glowing in the dead of night
Every breath I take feels like a sin
Colorado holds my pain deep within

Don't wear me down, down, down
When I'm already on the ground
Don't say a word at the edge of town
Where silence is the only sound

Colorado, Colorado
Where did my peace go?
You come like a whisper then hit like a train
Running out of time, running out of ways to explain

Colorado, Colorado
Cut through my shadow
Lost in the static between who I am
Give me a reason, help me understand

Prescription bottles standing in a line
Mountain highs but I'm losing my mind
Desert fever burning in my chest
Colorado's beauty hiding all my stress

Highway lights are calling out my name
Every mile I drive feels just the same
They tell me that I should be strong
But Colorado knows I've been here too long

Don't wear me down, down, down
When I'm already on the ground
Don't say a word at the edge of town
Where silence is the only sound

Colorado, Colorado
Where did my peace go?
You come like a whisper then hit like a train
Running out of time, running out of ways to explain

Colorado, Colorado
Cut through my shadow
Lost in the static between who I am
Give me a reason, help me understand

It's driving me insane
Just need to get away
From this desert rage
Burning through my soul

God give me a sign
Before I lose my mind
Before I cross the line
Before I lose control

I WON'T LOSE CONTROL!
I WON'T LOSE CONTROL!

Colorado, Colorado
Now I see the way to go
You came like a whisper now you're my voice
Running out of time but I made my choice

Colorado, Colorado
Light breaks through the shadow
Found my peace in chaos, now I understand
You showed me the reason, you helped me stand

Mile high, mind clear now
Colorado, Colorado
Yeah I think I'm gonna make it out
Colorado, Colorado

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Friday combustion in my chest tonight
Burning from the inside, losing sight
Of who I used to be before this maze
Before I torched my life in seven days

The pain's become the only voice I trust
It feeds on everything I thought I knew
I'm cracking at the seams, about to bust
While lovers walk like they've got something to prove

How did I get to this place?
Staring at my own disgrace
Time and chances slip away
Nothing left for me to say

Standing on the edge tonight!
Screaming at the static!
You trying to tell me something?
'Cause I can't hear You anymore
I can't hear You anymore!

If You're out there in the static
Pull me from this automatic
'Cause I won't make it through tonight
Won't make it through without You

Neon signs and 3 AM
Scrolling through my ghosts again
Should have listened when you called my name
Now I'm drowning in the shame

Mirror shows a stranger's face
Lost inside this empty space
Looking up but falling down
Silent screams without a sound

How did it get this dark?
Years of missing every mark
Chances scattered in the storm
Tell me where the broken go to heal?

Standing on the edge tonight!
Searching for a sign, a light!
You trying to reach me somehow?
'Cause I can't hear You anymore
I can't hear You anymore!

If You're out there in the static
Pull me from this automatic
'Cause I won't make it through tonight
Won't make it through without You

Friday combustion
Mind's destruction
Lost connection
Need resurrection

Static fills the empty space
Can't remember your embrace
Dancing on the razor's edge
Standing at the window ledge

Break me from these mental chains
Wash away the burning pain
Calling through the interference
Give me some kind of deliverance

Standing on the edge tonight!
But I can see a distant light!
Maybe You've been here all along
Maybe I've been singing the wrong song
Maybe I can hear You now!

Pull me from this frequency
Tune me to a different key
'Cause I might make it through tonight
Might make it through because of You

Friday combustion
New construction
Friday combustion
New construction

From the static comes the song
Maybe I've been wrong all along
Turn the noise into the light
Maybe I can win this fight

Maybe I can win... this fight

Friday Combustion

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Ooh, ooh, ooh
In the silence, I can hear your name
Calling through the pain
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Walking by like a peaceful song
Glitter white, honey as snow
She'll light up the darkest road
The sweetest heart you'll ever know

Her innocence saved me
In a world of decay
How I remember as a child
When I got to my knees and prayed

For your heart to come
Though it felt so far
When all I could see was wicked
You waited up in the stars

Angel eyes, blue and bright
Hold me close, hold me tight
You're all I ever wanted
You know it's true
Just hold my hand
You know it's you
Angel eyes, save my soul tonight

I saw what's impure
Got tempted, led astray
But the Lord saved me
And took me out of decay

Lust still haunts the broken
Breaking hearts at first sight
It's not that you want it
When life has been a fight

For your heart to come
Though it felt so far
When all I could see was darkness
You waited up in the stars

Angel eyes, blue and bright
Hold me close, hold me tight
You're all I ever wanted
You know it's true
Just hold my hand
You know it's you
Angel eyes, save my soul tonight

Is it lust or is it pain?
I can't tell them apart
All I know is I've been chained
To this restless, aching heart

But your heart can break these chains
Your love can heal these wounds
Your spirit moves the mountains
All I'll ever need is you

Angel eyes, blue and bright
Hold me close, hold me tight
You're all I ever wanted
And you know it's true
Just hold my hand
You know it's you

Angel eyes, save my soul
Make this broken spirit whole
You're all I ever needed
My salvation, my light
Angel eyes, blue and bright
Save my soul tonight

Save my soul tonight
Save my soul tonight
Angel eyes, make it right
Make it right
Save my soul tonight

Walking by like a peaceful song
Glitter white, honey as snow
You'll light up the darkest road
The sweetest heart I'll ever know

Mmm, mmm, mmm...

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Heart beats heavy, tearing at my mind
Creative collapse, leaving hope behind
Army green, cutting grass just to survive
All the hunger keeps this rage alive
But it rots away in slow decay
They judge my soul, steal my dreams away

They say "Stay down in the hell you know"
But this fire inside won't let me go

Flesh turns to dust, night swallows the light
Chasing the void with nowhere to hide
But I won't sell my soul
Won't give it to the devil below
Blood and steel running through my veins
I'll rise above the fire and pain
Faith come find me now
(Come and save me now)

This machine devours what I used to be
Another slave to their machinery
These golden chains wrapped around my throat
Demons whisper that there is no hope
But I'm shattering their web of lies
Time to claim my piece of paradise

Won't stay trapped in this living hell
Time to break out of this prison cell

Flesh turns to dust, night swallows the light
Chasing the void with nowhere to hide
But I won't sell my soul
Won't give it to the devil below
Blood and steel running through my veins
I'll rise above the fire and pain
Faith come find me now
(Come and save me now)

Isolation tried to break me down
Left me bleeding on the battleground
But I'm breaking through the wall of shame
Shattering every chain that held my name
No more living in the shadows of fear

This lightning burns away the tears
The man I was has disappeared

Flesh turns to dust, but I choose the light
Breaking these chains, I'm winning this fight
I won't sell my soul
Never bow to the devil below
Blood and steel, I've found my way
Rising stronger every single day
Faith has found me now
(Faith has saved me now)
Yeah, I'm finally free!

(I'm free!)
Breaking free!
(I'm free!)
Finally free!

Carla, minha querida Carla
Lá vai ela a caminhar
Seu sorriso a iluminar
Todo o céu da madrugada

Coração que bate e voa
Junto ao trono celestial
Filha de Deus eternal
Presente que Deus nos deu

Oh, como brilha
Tua alma pura
Oh, como brilha

Escolhida para brilhar
Da vida ao renascer
Cristo te chamou para estar
Como estrela a reluzir

Bandeira da inocência
Do amor e da verdade
Tua luz e tua essência
Tocam toda humanidade

Nos teus olhos vejo o mar
Reflexo da eternidade
Teu sorriso singular
Espalha felicidade

Como rosa do Éden
Perfumas onde passas
Teu amor, nosso bem
Cura e abraça, abraça

Oh, como brilha
Tua alma pura
Oh, como brilha
Nossa Carla

Escolhida para brilhar
Da vida ao renascer
Cristo te chamou para estar
Como estrela a reluzir

Bandeira da inocência
Do amor e da verdade
Tua luz e tua essência
Tocam toda humanidade

E quando a noite chegar
E quando a noite chegar
E as sombras te cercarem
As sombras te cercarem
Lembra que Deus vai te guardar
Seus anjos te acompanham
Sempre te acompanham

Carla, querida Carla
Brilha sempre, não te cales
Que tua luz se espalhe
Por todos os lugares

Escolhida para brilhar
Para sempre brilhar
Da vida ao renascer
Cristo te chamou para estar
Como estrela a reluzir

Carla... minha querida Carla...
Brilha sempre
Carla... filha de Deus...

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos

------------------------

Tu écris tes histoires à l'encre du poison
Sur des âmes perdues au bord de l'abîme
Faux prophète dans ta sainte prison
Détruisant l'espoir avec tes faux hymnes
Dans le silence de ton église vide

Tu grimpes sur des échelles d'os brisés
Bâtis ton empire sur nos larmes versées
Maintenant tu crois être l'élu divin
Mais ton miroir révèle ton vrai destin
Ta couronne forgée dans la souffrance

Mais stop—tu n'as jamais mérité cette flamme !
Tu l'as arrachée du cœur de nos drames
Alors viens te battre, je tiens debout
Regarde ton royaume partir en morceaux !
Je préfère crever que te voir triompher
Sur nos rêves, sur nos pleurs !
Ton vrai visage, je le connais !

Derrière ce masque de sainteté
Se cache un vide, une âme damnée
Je traverse chacun de tes sourires faux
Jusqu'au tombeau où tu creuses tes maux
Noyé dans ton propre mensonge

Tu vends l'espoir, tu achètes la peine
Comptes tes sous pendant que le monde saigne
Ton complexe de dieu nous étouffe tous
Souillant la beauté, chassant l'amour fou
Mais les fondations s'écroulent sur le faux

Mais stop—tu n'as jamais eu ce trône !
Tu l'as volé dans chaque abandonne
Alors déchaîne l'orage, j'affronte tout
Regarde tes mensonges partir dans la boue !
Je préfère mourir que céder le terrain
À ta haine, à ton dédain !
Ton vrai visage, on le connaît !

Mais attends...
Je vois la rage de mon père dans tes yeux
Les pleurs de ma mère sous tes adieux
On n'est que des gosses qui ont appris la guerre
Dans des foyers brisés, des cœurs de pierre

Mais je choisis le pardon...
Non pas que tu mérites ma compassion
Non pas que tu aies gagné ma rédemption
Mais la haine est ma prison
Et je brise mes chaînes
Et je brise mes chaînes !

Car tu cherches la miséricorde
Tu cherches la grâce
Tu cherches quelqu'un qui voit ta vraie face
Au-delà du monstre que tu es devenu
Plus que la victoire
Plus que la gloire
Plus que cette guerre sans fin !

Alors stop—il reste encore de la lumière !
On n'a pas à vivre dans la colère
Jette ton épée !
Je jette la mienne !
On peut tout perdre pour que l'amour revienne
Ce que vraiment aimer veut dire
Ce que vraiment vivre inspire !
Ce pourquoi on est là !
Ce pourquoi on est là !

Je choisis l'espoir sur la haine héritée
L'amour sur les guerres de mes aînés
La paix plutôt que d'avoir toujours raison
L'aube sur cette malédiction

Si je peux te pardonner, je peux me pardonner
Si on peut guérir ça, on peut sauver le monde
Peut-être que l'amour peut tout changer !

Alors je lâche mes armes
Je lâche ma fierté
Et je choisis...
Je choisis l'amour !
Je choisis l'amour !
Je choisis l'amour !

L'amour gagne quand on lâche prise...
L'amour gagne quand on lâche prise...

Je Choisis L'Amour

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Rub your hands together, feel the static rise
Cast your spell on broken dreams and alibis  
With your wicked ways, you're digging deeper down
Trading everything to wear that golden crown

Don't blink twice, don't look right
Something's coming in the night
Everything you built will wash away

A chariot on fire, burning through the power lines
You'll run away scared when you read between the signs
To the Babylon tower where the broken angels fall
Where your kingdom crumbles and you lose it all

In the neon glow where devils make their deals
Pretty faces hiding how the darkness feels
Built your empire on a foundation made of lies
Now you're staring at the fire in the skies

Don't blink twice, don't look right
Something's coming in the night
Everything you built will wash away

A chariot on fire, burning through the power lines
You'll run away scared when you read between the signs
To the Babylon tower where the broken angels fall
Where your kingdom crumbles and you lose it all

Here today, gone tomorrow
Time to burn it all down
Watch your kingdom die

A chariot on fire, tearing through your house of cards
To the Babylon tower where your empire turns to ash
A chariot on fire, coming for your soul tonight
Your kingdom's burning down, you lose it all

There's still time for redemption
Choose your side before it's gone

Babylon

UK and Cyprus-based songwriter and producer crafting melodies that bridge worlds. My music springs from life's raw experiences—the highs, the lows, and the moments of clarity in between.

Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean shores of Cyprus and the rich musical heritage of the UK, I weave stories of faith, resilience, and hope into every track. My songs are conversations—honest reflections on the journey, celebrations of life's beauty, and reminders that even in our darkest moments, light finds a way.

When you listen to my music, you're not just hearing songs—you're experiencing chapters of a shared human story, one that acknowledges our struggles while embracing the possibility of tomorrow.

Join me as we explore what it means to live authentically, to believe in something greater, and to find meaning in both the extraordinary and the everyday.
