Holy Soldier (1990)

01. Stranger

People talk about Him

And His ways they can't explain

Others come against Him

And His reckless claim to fame

He's an axiom

He's the maximum

He's a rebel and He's got a cause

Don't try to lock Him up

He's the One who makes the laws

Stranger

You've gone a little to far

Stranger

Who do You think You are?

They didn't understand Him

Though His words were plain to see

Because of this they made a plan

To kill Him brutally

He was different

He was heaven‐sent

And for this they took His life

But in the end

He rose

again

His name was Jesus Christ

Don't know where You come from

You're a drifter born to roam

Stranger

You're a long, long way

Long, long way from home

I know there's something more

More

than

meets

the

eye

His words cut right through me

How can I deny?

I know who You are

Stranger

You come from afar

Stranger

The bright morning star

Stranger

I know who You are

Stranger



02. See No Evil

I float inside her womb

Oh mother, I am coming soon

Suddenly, fear and dread

When mother

says

she

wants

me

dead

Oh how can you do this to me?

Thousands come

Please don't kill me

Thousands go

I want to live

Day by day

Can anyone hear me

The numbers grow

I want to live

God hears them cry

We hear the lie

And we simply look the other way

See no evil

Hear no evil

Speak no

evil

From a pail with open eyes

I see the man that I desire

He looks at me and turns his back

As my life fades, it fades to black

And there's no turning back

(Mommy, can you hear me?)

Mommy, mommy, I'm afraid)

See no evil

Hear no evil

Speak no evil



03. The Pain Inside of Me

The night is closing

Closing on me

I watch the sun

Fall into the sea

And

I

think

of

you

and

me

Where are you?

When my tears are falling down

Where are you?

You're not around

The days are long

The night's eternity

I think of how it is

And how it used to be

When You were here with me

Where are

you?

When my tears are falling down

Where are you?

You're not around

The days are long

The night's eternity

I think of how it is

And how it used to be

When you were here with me

I lay, I bleed

But you

will

never

see

I cry, I need

I lay, I bleed

But you will never see

The pain inside of me

The fire has died

It's such a great divine

But God can fill the sea

Won't you come back to me?

I see your face

In my mind it haunts me to this day

When I sleep

You're in my dreams

Just can't get away

I lay, I bleed


I cry, I need

You know I need you

I lay, I bleed


I lay, I bleed

The pain inside of me

The pain...

the

pain



04. Cry Out for Love

When I was a young boy

So sad, you know

I was looking for the answers

But that

was

a while

ago

Those days are gone

I found what I'm lookin' for

But what I got ain't nearly enough

So I'm cryin' out for love

Cry out for love

I can't find what I'm looking for

Cry out for love

Got a little, but I need some more

I looked around

This Tinseltown

It was just make believe

But there's a world

Within our world

The naked eye can't see

The Spirit of the Ancient One

That was, is, and shall be

His love

is

ringing

in

my

ears

Crying out to me

Cry out for love


Cry out for love


I ain't quittin'

I won't give up

'Cause I know

what

waits

for

me

You've been sittin'

Get off your butt

There's enough for you and me

Cry out for love


Cry out for love




05. Tear Down the Walls

He puts on a face

And walks out through the door

What lies behind the mask

He's trying to ignore

Inside he

holds

a child

That one he used to be

But is no more

She lives in a fairy tale

Her life's not what it seems

She's just a paper doll

Like in the magazines

Trying so hard to hide

The bitter pain she feels

But it won't go away

She knows

that

it's

so

real

Run

But there's nowhere to hide

Run

From what you feel inside

Jesus is all we really need

He can release us

And set the captives free

He wants to

Tear down the walls

He walks up to the grave

In memory of the dead

He thinks of all the things

He wished that he had said

So now he lives to bear

The weight of all his guilt

Within the confines of the walls

That he has built

Tear down the walls

Tear down

the

walls

Run

But there's nowhere to hide

Run

From what you feel inside

Jesus is all we really need

He can release us

And set the captives free

He wants to free us

If we would just believe

And let

Him

Tear down the walls



06. When the Reign Comes Down

You see it all around you

It's everywhere you turn

And like a beast that stalks the night

It's deadly

hunger

burns

It feeds on the lust and greed

In the wicked hearts of men

Hunts you down

It's the hound of hell

He's on your heels again

Desire conceived

In the mind it breeds

'Till it's giving birth to sin

Sin brings death

And the wicked won't rest

Will we ever see the end?

When the reign comes down

Death, the beast, the liar


They all will burn with fire

It motivates

the

rapist

It moves the hand that kills

Fills the heart with the wrath of Cain

And blood begins to spill

The scavenger of lost souls

It feeds as they expire

Licks the lips of the mouth of hell

And spews eternal fire

Desire conceived

In the

mind

it

breeds

'Till it's giving birth to sin

Sin brings death

And the wicked won't rest

Will we ever see the end?






They all will burn with fire


The sky is raining fire


The flames are reaching higher


The scarlet moon is rising


A face that shines as lightning




They'll choke on their desire


The sky is raining fire


The flames are rising higher


While Babylon is burning

When the

reign

comes

down

The world stops turning


His face will shine as lightning



07. Lies

She's cold as ice

She burns like fire

Many faces

Oh, but

one

desire

She leads you in

As you admire

Oh, her many graces

She's a silent liar

Angel of light

Is how she comes to me

Dark as the night

Her heart of ebony

Lies

Her evil plan unfolds

Lies

A wickedness I'm told

Lies

Is challenging my soul

Lies

The web

she

weaves

Is so receptive

But beauty fleeting

Oh, and charm's deceptive

She leads you in

To the fire

To fan the flames

Of her desire

Lies

The illusion

seemed

so

real

Lies

Reality concealed

Lies

It all will be revealed

Lies

Dark as the night



08. Eyes of Innocence

Remember how we used to laugh all day

All the things we used to say

How come hearts can grow so cold

Just because

we

grow

old

Things were simple then

Why does it have to end?

Can we be little children again?

Through the eyes of innocence

It can be as it was then

Childlike love is heaven‐sent


Today is just tomorrow's memories

Broken pictures, faded dreams

Embracing thoughts that bring us pain

Desperate eyes seek in vain


See the smile of youth again







09. Love Me

I'm alone, but remember

One wet and cold September

My tears were falling in the rain

I was

lonely,

I was

blind

I needed her to ease my mind

Shackles of lust, chains of pain

I've died inside

Open my eyes

God, are You still there?

It's up to You

To see me through

With

just

a

touch,

I

took

a

chance

A passion play turned avalanche

How could I think that this was love

Sea of lust, your evening tide

Dragged me down where dead men lie

I prayed for mercy from above

I've died inside

Open my eyes

God, are You still there?

I

need

to

know

If You still care

Love me

Bring me back to You

Love me

Hold me close

Show me love that's true

Love me, love me

Don't ever let me down

Love me

Until I come around to You

Love me

Bring me back to You

Love me, my God

Hold me close

Show me love that's true

Love me, love me

Please don't let me go

If You love me, really love me

You gotta let me know



10. We Are Young, We Are Strong

Sometimes I wonder why we're here

We blossom, fade, and disappear

So many souls have come

And now

they're

gone

The legacy of life moves on

Dawn after dawn

The winds of change

The likes of which no man can tame

Who will remain

To carry on in Jesus name

We are young, we are strong

We are strong

We were sent to carry on

The future's in the mouth of babes

The wisdom of the final age

It's up to us to try and make stand

Heaven knows the time's at hand

I think we can

The test

of

time

To walk the straight and narrow line

The choice is mine

We follow what's divine

We are young, we are strong

We belong

We are strong

We were sent to carry on

I feel

I've

wasted

so

much

time

To live is to run the race

To cross the finish line

But the road to Him inclines

As destiny unwinds

The winds of change

Nothing ever stays the same

Who will remain

To forge the link, to make the chain
