Dead Faith 04:05
Serpent see, serpent do, (serpent see serpent do) you’ll know a tree by its fruit (you’ll know a tree by its fruit) They lie to me and lie to you (they lie to me and lie to you) A man is what he pursues (He pursues) You go like a lamb to the slaughter You run to the serpent shepherd You point your finger at your brother While the serpent has your heart tethered Run, run, run, to your master You’ll know a child by his father Bow, bow, bow, to your shepherd You’ll know falsity, by its ear pleasing I’ve had enough, I’ve had enough Break carnality’s cuffs Have you had enough (had enough?) Do you want the world or do you want God? Can you serve both God and Mammon? No! He who desires to save his life will lose it, he who loses his life for my sake, will find it. Will you build your house on the sand or on the stone, will you do what He says Or preach that works can’t save,that faith will, while you neither have faith nor work to show it Show me your faith without deeds, I’ll show you mine by them. Faith is made complete when paired with deeds, The body without spirit is dead, so also is faith without deeds, those who love him, obey his commands, not to save themselves, but because they are saved Dead Faith, you believe, so do the demons But do you love him? Will you sow what is given or bury it like the wicked servant? Dead faith, produce the fruit that your due, death and Hell!!! Oh! That’s gonna hurt…

Is it not written? My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of thieves, a den of snakes! Overturn the tables, If the preachers and teachers will not, preach and teach the name of my Savior, and my Father, Then the laymen, shall be the firebrand In the Church of God We are tired of your divisive theories you call theology, We are tired of your vain philosophy, preceding The commands scripture lays out clearly Brandish the Firebrand! You care about marketing and numbers, the Bride of Christ is not a whore that you dress up to be appealing to the nations Your success is in how many people you reach While Christ abandons the entire flock for the one sheep. Want to talk marketing? Reach is nothing compared to conversions! Do you want vanity metrics or to impact lives? Do you want all the nations, or One nation under God? Laymen, standup, men and women who desire God and his truth You will know a tree by its fruit, these trees produce fruit that dies quickly They build on sand and complain when it can’t withstand the rain. I will not be silent, No I won’t bite my tongue like a coward, it’s not in my nature While the trained warriors shrink back Before giants, I a child of God shall stand, under the wings of my Father Will you be silent, bite your tongue While the serpents in the temple Desecrating your daughters, devouring your sons Will you stand against, or pay homage to the serpent, like the cowards in tales old, feeding their maidens to dragons? I won’t! Firebrands take back your land from the dragons! They Breathe hellfire and ruin, we speak the fire of Gods truth, like Fire From Heaven! We speak the Fire of Gods truth like Fire From Heaven! Ring the bell sound the alarm, the Firebrands turning over the tables He’s turning our den of snakes back into a house of prayer! Ring the bell sound the alarm, the Firebrands at it again, in our temple, he goes after the one while we chase the many and truly convert none! I will not be silent, No I won’t bite my tongue like a coward, it’s not in my nature While the trained warriors shrink back Before giants, I a child of God shall stand, under the wings of my Father Will you be silent, bite your tongue While the serpents in the temple Desecrating your daughters, devouring your sons Will you stand against, or pay homage to the serpent, like the cowards in tales old, feeding their maidens to dragons? Turn over the tables! I defy your defiance of the one true God! You preach his name but you know him not! You proclaim Him Lord but you Obey him not!

You’re never gonna shut me up, you can ignore me all you want, You can’t ignore the bite of the gadfly If you want you can try, soon the bite of the fly will feel like the dragons teeth I’m alone in the devils courts with demons all around me, they want to burn me alive for heresy, it’s funny how apostates point at apostasy, they know it so well cause it’s eating their soul, but I’m a different kind of rebel, here’s what I stand for… I stand for freedom that is free indeed, not for liberty in the confines of a cage All the keepers gonna keep the gates that they never made, demand a toll on something they don’t own, you thought i was standing alone? I stand against the world not just the norm, I’m not here to make you feel good, I’m here to raise an army, I’m here to raze hell! your industry protocols, are overdue, for an overhaul! I Wake every morning to the sound of war drums, I’m not here to sing the same songs, the beating of my heart is like a war march I usher forth into the light of a new morn A masters education, but you can’t take action, You want to help the needy unless it’s a liability Driven by a cowards philosophy Afraid to take risks, afraid to make the change you want to see, I’ve had enough of the speculative talk, get out of my way, I’m here to do something! Everyone’s a Christian till it’s time to put your money where your mouth is. Easy to talk the walk but can you walk the walk? Can you run to the roar of the lion that stalks? Wake up, you claim to walk with the lord, When your sister asks for help you turn away Wake up, you claim to know God when your brother asks for bread you give him a serpent. Vacant, is the desire for the Lord in this Christian society Neither hot nor cold, you’re lukewarm, and he’s gonna spit you out! Sell out, you’re no different when you won’t help unless it profits yourself Easy to love those who love you Easier to serve when your paid well Will you be faithful, when there’s nothing in it for you? Fake mouth, you’re not passionate, hypocrite, descendant of Pharisees, Won’t you please, explain to me? Why your words and actions are not aligned with your beliefs? look I don’t wanna make waves but this whole industry is artificial reality Come on, let's pick it up! Are you here to express yourself or be on the radio? I don’t need to meet your standards cause I’m about to set some new ones!

Welcome to today’s Sunday entertainment, You want music, we got that, You want dancing girls in tights? At church? Of course! We could find some guys to do that too if you want. You want to experience the spirit of the age, that we call the Holy Spirit? Where we misrepresent the name of Yahweh and blaspheme him to the highest? You’ve come to the right place! Our motivational speaker will set your heart ablaze for a day, till you leave this building and forget everything, for he will say many great things while still saying nothing. No judgment here, neither good or bad, we just leave you as you are. Welcome to the show! Welcome to our business, where service is key We believe in volunteering, serve the nobility so they give lots of money Leave the poor where they are, they’re obviously lazy Pay your neighborly dues, lend a helping hand Once a week, then let it fade, like grains of sand If you join our team, just smile and wave Don’t want to mess up the livestream Minimize distractions, excel in artificiality Come tell your story, manipulate emotionally So we can make the sale quickly! Come tell us, how was your experience Do we get five stars for our non-profit operation? Here we care about our customers, no not their souls, I mean their wealth, make sure you give, it costs a lot to keep this place running. Ah, you shiv, only a ten percent tip? If you give five hundred, I guarantee you’ll enter a new season Sign up for a monthly subscription? What nothing? We got all the best dancers, musicians, singers, speakers and you don’t give? We got all the lights, the cameras, the graphics, Oh you want God? Try the dying little church on the corner, they don’t know how to run a business or speak with grandeur. They still use slides on a lamp for their song lyrics ha. Did I ruffle your feathers? Hey, don’t shoot the messenger I was told to share what I saw truthfully, this is what I see unfortunately… I don’t care how raw or unpolished it is, gainsayers will teach you how to gain the world no doubt, but what profit is the world at the cost of your soul? Now shred that folly to pieces! Go!

Enter the spirit of the age Join the masses, run to the hands of corruption Say the same thing over and over Point the finger at our fathers, while we continue to hate each other Fallacies regurgitated, recycled, misled, Disdain for old tomes, never flipped, never read. Blame laid on concepts you've yet to comprehend, Self-styled rebels, futile in your trend. Your not renegades, when all you do is echo your age Recycling actions, you're trapped within the cage of your age The only escape is the old that you spitefully hate Degrading humanity with the same thing in a new case Fooled by the toxicity of falsity Question all but your own thinking Narrow minds are easily convinced their open Loving the same thing in different casings, doesn’t make you open minded Pouring old wine into new wineskins Your ideas have lost their essence Draw the battle lines, this is where I make a stand Scorn the old books that you’ve never read Maybe if you took the time to understand them You’d know the difference between a conformist, and a deviant We’re the rebellion! I will never be, part of your self eating society Eating the foundations, bursting at the seems I refuse to be, locked in a cage Thinking the same way, part of the hive No! Fallacious ideas are like a knife to the throat Gorge myself on my own blood? No! Freedom enchained like a rat in a cage You destroy and rebuild on the same roots Leading to the depths of hell! No! Take a look around see who’s standing with you The entire culture… you’re a confromist, not a rebel You're the society you hate, in a new wineskin. Modernity will keep you blinded, leap to the past! Come on, switch it up, try something new, say something different Your an individual, not a mindless mold Dare to break the trend, dare to be bold!

”I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.“ ‭‭”What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Arminius”; another, “I follow Calvin”; still another, “I follow Luther.” Is Christ divided? Was Calvin crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Arminius?“ No! We refuse the call to unity! Tribal church, grab your spears grab your swords Tribal church, Gird yourselves, it’s time for war against our brothers! Tribal church, take up arms, drink the blood of kindred, eat their hearts Tribal church, called to war against principalities and powers, we would rather nibble on the trivial Till we’re at each others throats like the heathens We March, march, march, to the anthem of the world With the Bible in our hands, His word on our forked tongues Like the devil our master, wielding that word as his sword so skillful in twisting it. Stomp, stomp, stomp, on the heads of our sisters, Gorge on the honey like a glutton till it makes you sick, Bow to the gift, and not the God who gave it Like the seventh deadly sin, we will keep sowing discord among the brethren Tribal church, bicker and argue over the word, abandon reason, abandon faith, abandon desire to know the God who saves, Back and forth, driven by the wind, from one error to another but you must go between If you must forsake one scripture for another you are in error Do you seek the Divine or just to prove who's wrong or right? Think one man alone can reveal God's heart, silence yourself and listen, think on the words. Seek discernment, no human system can fully contain The vastness of God's being, only fragments may remain. Without the entirety of God's heart, I will not follow any one man’s thinking Forsake, the God you claim, take, the attributes you like, put them in a frame, now you’ve made an idol build a system of theology, on heresy, twist the Word along with God to fit your artificial light You love his word but you don’t love his wisdom, You insist he is not himself if it’s against your system, and on this sword you will fall on and die! Die, like a puppet on a string, pulled away from the truth by pairs of errors Hither and Thither your words reflect the one who slithers Back and forth like the ways of man! When will you surrender and go between? You cannot prove nor disprove one or the other, so move on to more important matters! Tribal Church! Hoo Ha Hoo Ha Hoo Ha Hoo Ha You reflect the devil and not the Godhead, three in one! Hoo ha hoo ha hoo ha hoo ha Tribal Church! Tribal Church! Hoo!

about

Many Christians might take this album personally, it is not meant to mock or judge Modern Christianity, my goal was to honestly describe what I see when I look at Modern Christianity. (Don't worry if you felt I left something out, I'll address other things in another release)

I do not wish to present this as what I believe true Christianity is, I know it is none of these things, Our God is Light and in Him there is no darkness, but our worldy perceptions, philosophies, and yes even Theologies can distort who God really is when you become overly obsessed with them and not God himself and what he has to say about himself in His Word.

If you are not a Christian and don't care for this religious mumbo jumbo, take no note of it, I have lots more epic tales coming soon but even those are allegorical and are really saying things that I say very plainly in this album.
