LYRICS by Luke DiConti

Destruction and death
Trouble and distress
Judgement draws near
Nothing is left

Nowhere is safe
We must make a change
He will bring down the wall
The wrath of God is now upon us all

I deserve this fate
Perennial demise
Strangled in the web of all my lies
No longer will I survive in this guise
There is no hiding from your eyes

The wage of sin is death
The wage of sin is death
The wage of sin is death
The wage of sin is death

I deserve this fate
Perennial demise
Strangled in the web of all my lies
No longer will I survive in this guise
There is no hiding from your eyes

You break one, you break all
You break one, you will fall

Damned

LYRICS by Luke DiConti

Lying in bed all morn
Wasting time I don't have
I can't reap what is not sewn
My life is running out

Before taking her leave
She hovers over me
Kisses my cheek
When she closes the door behind her
I hear weeping and gnashing of teeth
Darkness surrounds me
Don't let it consume me
Save me from myself

Get out of my head
Stand clear from my heart
You have no place here
You don't belong

Arise and conquer all that you fear
Joy is more than a memory

Lying in bed all morn
Wasting time I don't have
I can't reap what is not sewn
My life is running out

Ruin and misery mark my ways
My heart, sin doth stain
Choices, made in haste
Sin corrodes my flesh as death awaits
Hope is departed
My soul, dismayed
Ruin and misery, they mark my ways

Ruin and misery, they mark my ways (I will fight for you)
Ruin and misery, they mark my ways (You have only to be silent)
Ruin and misery, they mark my ways (I will fight for you)
Ruin and misery, they mark my ways (You have only to be silent)

Wanderer

The Good Fight

LYRICS by Luke DiConti

Alone with thoughts I can't shake
In the recesses of my brain
Lie memories of mistakes
Forgiveness alleviates pain
But deep wounds will remain

Invocation

LYRICS by Luke DiConti

A year is now passed and still these eyes overflow
The mind is tormented when the heart doesn't let go
I want to live again, but I don't remember how
To live again

Memories play with my heart and tantalize my mind
To repay love with love, I am most inclined
It's a crime you know, the speed of time

For the wanderer, friends become memories
Destined to dream and never convene
They never leave my mind these memories
These memories

Memories play with my heart and tantalize my mind
To repay love with love, I am most inclined
It's a crime you know, the speed of time

From afar, some devotions thrive
Others are fated to die
Is one hour with a faithful friend
All one's heart needs to mend
Love burns inside
But the journey never really ends

Wanderer (ft. Emily Burkhart)

LYRICS by Luke DiConti

Adonai, my heart breeds sin
expel the darkness therein
I'll be the end of me
only Your love can set me free

arise and fight
wield the weapons of light

pride, bring to heel
in my heart there is Your seal
receive my soul
over which demons vie control

act like a man

in My Presence you are made whole
by My sacrifice I made you My own
you were given a spirit 
of love, power, and self-control
I am with you wherever you go
see all I hath given
much more awaits you
far beyond your imagining

the stone was rolled away
the tomb, empty
death had its day
rescue is on the way

it is over
it is done
the battle is won
the light has come
the darkness is gone

life begins now
(the battle is won)
life begins now

life begins now
(the light has come)
life begins now
(the darkness is gone)
