Falling 05:45
Falling Music: Phillips, Prinsen Lyrics: Phillips Called out to fight this battle divided man What started as the word began to stir the heart Freedom came (through) shattered chains Lifted to life from a shallow grave (Chorus) And as we see the madness Lusting for a hopeless mirage Confusion burning the eyes A counterfeit react... Calling falling Communication an invitation staring at the door Once inside try to hide Christ will be your guide 10,000 lies you realize a wasted life no more The word of God it penetrates a solid heart of stone Still we live inside this shell of sinful desires He can save your deepest sins pray you'll be known (Repeat chorus) Save my soul oh Lord Rescue me from certain death… (Solo Michael Phillips) This battle that is fought between your body and your soul Perseverance running racing fixed upon the prize Casting shadows conjuring the darkness below In complete habitual godlessness Meditation lifting up your eyes to the sky Like a man who draws his bow to pierce the bulls eye (Repeat chorus)

Ark of The Covenant Music: Eli Prinsen and Michael Phillips Lyrics: Eli Prinsen (Lead Michael Phillips) 40 days and 40 nights Moses spent with God on Mount Sinai The Ten Commandments given to him And instructions to build what to carry them in From acacia wood covered in the purest gold (Chorus) Ark - of - The Covenant Earthly throne - voice of God Above and through cherubim wings Once a day for seven days The priests carried The Ark around Jericho Covered to protect those who carried it Sounding seven trumpets of ram’s horns And with a shout the walls came crumbling down (Chorus) Ark - of - The Covenant Power - Beneath a veil Just one look could cause instant death The Philistines managed to capture The Ark And misfortune followed wherever they went Smitten with tumors and with plagues of rats With offerings of gold they gave The Ark back. (Solo Roy Z) The Temple destroyed in 586 BC The Ark becomes lost in the sands of time Legend and folklore and mysteries abound Multiple claims of it’s true whereabouts Some feel it’s a matter of faith The Ark’s gone so without seeing we shall believe And now we have a new covenant The Blood of Jesus and The New Testament

The Nephilim Agenda Music: Eli Prinsen and Marc Register Lyrics: Eli Prinsen There were Giants in the earth in those days- and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the-daughters of men, and they bare children to them - the same became -mighty men which were of old, men of renown. Nephilim! 200 watcher angels descended from the sky A pact was made to share in the wrath of God that they defied Leaving their spiritual habitat with a hunger for the flesh Defiling themselves with women and corrupting the planet Trading of virgin daughters for these beings Powers of enchantment-and their unnatural abilities Knowledge hidden from man revealed Nothing to lose - no manner of evil concealed Contaminating the bloodline with their DNA Hybrid Nephilim giants masqueraded as the gods Perverted knowledge passed down to them by their angelic fathers Cursed to wander the earth for all time as unclean spirits (demons) Awaiting punishment the angels bound and cast into Tartarus God sorry he’d ever made man . Only Noah’s obedience to God and his unblemished DNA Would allow him to escape the coming flood And the destruction of the human race. (Solo Michael Phillips) There were giants in the earth -in those days and also after And they’ll surely try again -to destroy God’s plan As in the days of Noah, so will the days of the coming of the Son of Man be Will the fallen ones return - from the sky - to deceive?

Time's Up 03:03
Time’s Up Music and Lyrics: Eli Prinsen Time’s up- the final grain of sand- in the- hour glass Has fallen and your life on earth is over The years forgotten flashing -right before your eyes Ignoring for a lifetime- that everybody dies A million things are rushing -through your consciousness Things you wish you’d never done or things you should’ve said Your loved ones grieving and their mortal security Too much is left undone and out of your reach -to ever change No stay of execution This time there’s no rewind, erase This final flight through time and space Will take you to a Holy place You’re gonna have to state your case When you meet God face to face (solo Michael Phillips) Ahhhh… Who is going to intercede? Only through Jesus- will you find immunity From hell fire - you’ll be saved.

Words on the gin Music and Lyrics: Michael Phillips The soft words spoken back when I first realized So full of dreams and of life and innocence of youth She walked in front of my path on a warm summer’s night The feelings that I felt deep inside were genuine love (Chorus) I knew then Would she know when I knew then The painted words on the gin (Solo Michael Phillips)

Behold The Power of God (Music: Eli Prinsen) (Lyrics : Eli Prinsen with inspiration from The Book of Exodus) God sent Moses and Aaron to Egypt To ask the pharaoh to release the Israelites So they may hold a feast to Him in the wilderness For He’d heard their cries- and remembered His covenant with them Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, who’s voice I should obey? I do not know the Lord, nor will I let Israel go. (Chorus) Pharaoh!- Let my people go! (GO!) Out of Egypt to the land -promised to Abraham His hardened heart brought forth the 10 calamities To show the impotence of Egyptian deities And to show - the world - The power of God! The first three plagues the Pharaoh’s sorcerers could reproduce But soon they’re magic failed to match what came into being When the Dust turned to lice, they called this “the finger of God” Plagues of beasts and pestilence, of boils and of hail locusts and a darkness so dense that it could be felt But not until the death of the firstborn would he comply (Chorus) Pharaoh!- Let my people go! (GO!) Out of Egypt to the land -promised to Abraham His hardened heart brought forth the 10 calamities To show the impotence of Egyptian deities And to show - the whole world - The Power of God! (Solo Michael Phillips) (Chorus) Pharaoh!- Let my people go! (GO!) Out of Egypt to the land -promised to Abraham His hardened heart brought forth the 10 calamities To show the impotence of Egyptian deities He finally let them go but soon would change his mind Moses parted the red sea - with the armies close behind Once all the Israelites had gone safely across God released the waters and pharaohs army was lost Behold -The Power- of God!

Regeneration 04:28
REGENERATION Music: Prinsen Lyrics: Prinsen Can you feel it-the end accelerating -losing control- a downward spiral Unrest all hope is fading- the fear we’re facing going viral (pre chorus) Here come the blaming games - pointing fingers- accusing Political shouting matches ending -in stalemate- so unproductive (chorus) It’s time to remember our faith One nation under God awake While greedy hands twist and turn nations riot, fires burn Hands and fists raised to the sky Oh woe is me proclaiming “God has turned His back on me” When all these problems are man made When times were better wasting every resource that we could buy And now we’re finally saving for the uncertainty in our lives (pre chorus) Here come the blaming games - pointing fingers- accusing Political shouting matches ending -in stalemate- again and again (chorus) It’s time to remember our faith One nation under God awake While greedy hands twist and turn nations riot, fires burn Hands and fists raised to the sky Oh woe is me proclaiming “God has turned His back on me” When all these problems are man made (solo Michael Phillips) (chorus) It’s time to remember our faith One nation under God awake The time has come to regenerate Back to our humble beginnings…America!
9.
Offended 03:18
Offended Music and Lyrics: Eli Prinsen Action and reaction time and time again Responses resulting in one another being offended Human nature- stubborn & headstrong - we’ve all got our pride The number one weapon of the devil -fueling these fires inside (Chorus 1) Remember being a new Christian in all your zeal Defending what is sacred with all the faith you feel…inside A simple disagreement morphing into violence A difference of opinion with tragic consequences… (Chorus 2) So wickedly designed to cause division Be weary of debating politics and religion Evil’s near…. (Solo Michael Phillips) Way too many times in life - we act before we think In an instant creating years filled with regret and pain Opinions, offences and the pride of getting our way Like puppets robbed of all logic acting foolishly

BEFORE THE STORM (Tate, Wilton ) Red gates of iron cast their Black shadows -on this land Dividing souls... far below The gathering winds the armies watch Are rising -from the west Foretelling news... of freedom's hand In secrecy they've infiltrated All of -our strongholds Controlling more... year after year So we've let this happen all along Believing- what's been said Our leaders cry... we have no one to fear (Chorus) We watch the sun rise, and hope We watch the sun rise, and hope That it won't be our last Before the storm Before the storm Before the storm Before the storm Is it late to try, must we all die Our system- awaits test Freedom by choice... is it for all men, best So we wait in fear the atom split Our hearts in two be torn Learn from the past... before the storm (Chorus) We watch the sunrise, and hope We watch the sunrise, and hope That it won't be our last

24 06:25
24 Music and Lyrics: Mike Phillips Darkness surrounding all of the earth it suffocates Wondering when will it be sad it will be tomorrow Wise men spoke long ago of a time, could this be?...a skeleton key A glimpse into the future a cry for our mercy (Chorus) Separating goats from sheep There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth Right now is the time an opportunity to trust the son of man Jesus Christ created you from dust not so you should lust Each of us eats spoiled meat disengaged and incomplete asking why This shroud of flesh is strong so strong Only with prayer and a willing heart can sin be beat (Repeat Chorus) (vocals Michael Phillips) Earthquakes rumors of war famine and plagues Pestilence men seeking death cant seem to find their last breath Stone upon stone will be torn down tomorrow Nation will rise against nation impending sorrow The prophet said Judea has fled unto the mountains never turn your back If they say i know the way we were warned to stay away (Repeat Chorus) Lightning strikes down from east to west so shall it be The kings return dust in the urn the vultures circling the rotting flesh The sun will be dark as the moon turns to blood and the stars fall from the sky And then the son of man will appear on high gathering his chosen from his hand no one can pry (Repeat Chorus 2x)
