once a beautiful planet
turned to waste by humanity
once created as a counterpart of God
turned to darkness immediately
every wickedness someone can think of
it will surely be done
highest skills in murder and destruction
evil minds longing for the throne
hard to stand
hard to breathe
hard to stay sane
in a world like this
2x
and still this planet's filled with beauty
mother earth and the beauty of nature
the miracle of life itself
is a light in this manmade hell
and still this is not all to be
i believe in eternity
a place where death has no control
a world that must be wonderful
so when the darkness seems overwhelming
when the news are more than you can stand
when people around you are sick and dying
everything will be well in the end
rest in peace

Shaken by demons
01:18
|
|||
|
you dont believe in forces
unseen in hidden spheres
well i truly do
knowing they are there
i remember stories
things the old ones told
as the spirits appear
better your soul is not sold
shaken by demons 3x
shaken by lucifer
and there was that girl
small and really thin
she stood camly and talked
when the worshipband began
she went pretty crazy
shakin' and screaming
needed five men to fix her
she was possessed by demons
shaken by demons...
so dont play with the fire
don't open up for the dark side
run to the light
and seek your refuge in Christ
his power is greater
than the dark creatures
under his protection
nothin' can harm or fight us

now the full number of those
who believed were of one heart and soul,
and no one said that any of the things
that belonged to him was his own,
but they had everything in common.

is that a boy or a girl
can you even tell ?
and does it make a difference ?
i don't think so pal
gender roles that are fixed
stereotypes and clichees
but so many don't fit in
the categories of society
let him wear a dress
let her grow a beard
who are you to decide
they got their own way
all those rules
set by the current times
changed over centuries
once evil, now fine
and in Christ there is
no male nor female
for all are one
in Christ Jesus
Gal 3, 28

Peace
00:21
|
|||
|
peace I leave with you;
my peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives
do I give to you.
Let not your hearts be troubled,
neither let them be afraid.
Joh 14, 27 / John 14, 27

The system
01:50
|
|||
|
structure and organization
meetings, books exaltation
a corporate identity
is that the fruit of galilee ?
it seemed to be a simple thing
for everybody to join in
but now it's big and complicated
energy sapping and frustrating
the kingdom of God
or what people think it should be
the teachings of Christ
looks more like university
the good news for all
for all that will subscribe
i got your living water
hey, come into my light
tenthousand churches - tenthousand names
a million teachings - goin' insane
everyone claims to be wise - got his ministry
what Christ said and did looked so simple
as if it was for you and me

Keep the faith
02:39
|
|||
|
thousands grow cold
thousands leave
you feel sometimes
so alone
doubts and questions
temptation and trials
sometimes a struggle
sometimes so hard
to stay
to believe
to pray
to trust
to hold fast
remember the years
of blessings through Christ
miracles and wonders
never forget
prophecies and power
no doubt you felt it
the spirit was never
a deception
so stay
believe
yes pray
and trust
hold fast
keep the faith

My beliefs
01:19
|
|||
|
as a little kid
i daily prayed to God
and i never quit
i still talk to the Lord
and its amazing
though alot changed
i know somehow
that he remained the same
good and kind and pure
seeking the best for me
trustworthy, a strong friend, a help in times of need
and i will never leave my faith
nor forsake my beliefs , my beliefs
four decades
and some days were shaken
by the storms of sorrow
and a heart thats aching
and lots of blessed times too
sunshine and gold
and every day i know
God took care of my soul
so i pray
and i believe
Christ is good
and Christ is here
my foundation
a place to run to
so faithful
and oh so true
so i trust
and i believe
Christ is life
and Christ is peace
my harbour
my constant well of joy
full of glory
full of light

Not an option
00:43
|
|||
|
every kind of evil
that you can imagine
exists somewhere in this world
this place sucks
this place sucks
this place is full of hell
Christ is not an option
he is a need
to bring deliverance to us
freedom for our souls
liberty for our minds
a hope for good things to come
faith is not
a nice luxury
that you might have or not
it's so urgent
to have a harbour
your shaken soul can run to
this world is chaos
this world is burning
every day for us all to see
bloodshed unjustice
corruption and lies
only Christ sets us really free
|

i kill you
in the name of Christ
take this bullet
in the name of Christ
i slay you
in the name of Christ
drop the bomb
in the name of Christ
so long
farewell
you'll go
to hell
i hate you
in the name of Christ
start a war
in the name of Christ
send the troops
in the name of Christ
i bring pain
in the name of Christ
so long
farewell
i bring
you hell
love your neighbour as you love yourself
and love your enemies
blessed are the meak
and those who bring peace
pray for those who persecute you
do good things to those who hate you
put away that sword
vengeance is mine, i will repay
|

it's obvious
you startet spirit-filled
and they all liked it
you got big real soon
a proper market
quick success
but you had to change
for the next step
oh, you knew
that label you signed to
was considered christian
by everyone
but now you act surprised
yeah, you are just a band
no ideals, no beliefs
just want to fit in
"we're not a christian band
only some guys playin' in a band"
oh come on
the stupid church kids
you dont need 'em anymore
you want to go real big
and play huge shows
hardcore-punk was about
standin' for your beliefs
singing your heart out
now it's just shit
sorry, that i mentioned Jesus
won't happen again
i want success and a big audience
who is this Christ anyway?

Your religion
01:08
|
|||
|
i
scream in anger
when i see
what you're doin'
perverting
Gods good news
into something
terrible and nasty
how
can you do this
preach hatred
and nonforgiveness
preach lies
preach contempt
trample the needy
and the weak
i 'm
no part
of your
religion
i
belong
only
to Jesus
|

They say
01:30
|
|||
|
I watch a documentary bout space
about the galaxy, about our universe
yeah i like science also fictional
but i think that they dont know that much at all
they say: could be and maybe
there's a possibility
we guess and we assume but we're not sure indeed
we don't know for sure
there's still so much to explore
but we build a construct of unproven ideas
hey, Mr. scientist aren't you ashamed?
cause all these theories seem a little lame
why don't you admit that you don't know much
and that space remains mysterious and vague
the wisdom of man
is foolishness to god
he created the universe
and all those stars
is there more life out there?
well he truly knows
and i am sure that
one day he'll show
|

The stones will cry out
01:14
|
|||
|
where is the praise?
where is the adoration?
when became your fanbase
more important than Jesus?
behind closed doors
you tell me you still believe
but in public: nothing
is that what he deserves?
if they keep quiet,
the stones will cry out.
i know the church
failed many times
christianity
often is so undivine
i know believers
can be so unlike Christ
still he deserves
deserves all my praise

Mein Haus ist schön
mein Haus ist bunt
und ich hab einen Killerhund
ich spiel in einer Punkrockband
vor meinem Fenster hängt ein Transparent
in Großbuchstaben hab ich draufgesetzt
dieses Haus das ist besetzt
Jesus hat mein Haus besetzt
und er wird dort immer bleiben
wenn böse Geister es stürmen wollen
wird er sie vertreiben
bin weder Fascho, eher Anarchist
und ich bin Christenterrorist
wer mich und mein Häuschen kennt
der kennt auch mein Transparent
in Großbuchstaben hab ich draufgetzt
dieses Haus das ist besetzt
Lyrics by CHRISTORE

Hug me, come on
i do need someone
i do need someone
someone like you
touch me, dear
and i will lose my fear
i do need someone
someone like you
when i'm down
you are there
when i'm depressive
you care
help me brother
lay your hands on me
help me sister
say a prayer for me
help me Lord
going on...
touch me Jesus
flow within my blood
Holy Spirit
show me my God
loving father
going on
with you going on
