semperreformanda I LOVE the style. OMGoodness, the samples chosen. I love most of the lyrics, though, regarding eschatology, I am Theonomist along the lines of Dr. Joel McDurmon. Still loving these tracks bro!

I want to take you all on a class outing, To travel the path of the glass mountain Pythagoras is back in the saddle bouncing, Graphics on the track and my dad Patrick found it! He came from the wilderness of the plains, And his aim was to build up his children and his name, Filled them with the flame and skilled them in the art Of working with glass stained killed with silver darts! Mother Nature had brought him to the base And his stubborn nature always made him war against She loves the saviour you always stored up hate, The story could get gory but there’s glory for the saints! There’s gonna be a battle see what war paints As we walked toward a place called the North Face, We got a small camp it’s what we called base, When the avalanches landed then it all changed! I’ve got my bible and rifle in the tightest grip I’ve got my eyes on the prize and 5 survival kits, I’ve got my people on one side of a wide abyss Ready to climb to the peak and reach up to the heights of this! The weather was harsh and the storms were frequent The foundation was strong but the walls were weakened The treasure was far but I was born to reach it Salvation for the wrongs that were all sworn to secret! Leather and bark kept us warm in the blizzards In the summer we’d run and jump into the rivers Pumice stones pummelled bones skin shivers The icy face of life gave us the chills and jitters! I branched out to scout the best route Hoping I could show the rest a way to get through, The cliffs and the passages rocks by the precipice Whispers of massacres on the top of Everest! A frosty terrorist never pushed harder Saw the burning bush but can’t look at the father Fire proof branches Mantis cooks in lava, The man is remanded and branded with foot markers! I’ve got my bible and rifle in the tightest grip I’ve got my eyes on my wife and our tiny kids, I’ve got my people on one side of a wide abyss Ready to climb to the peak and reach up to the heights of this! The sheer height of it excited me quite a bit Im not frightened I’d like to be near the side of it, Ive got my spikes and climb like Im cycling Rhyming silently getting violent with the mic within! Cuts and bruises lines are cut or severed But it’s all worth it if I can touch the heavens! I love the music when its rough and weathered My leather face emanates any stuff remembered! I met a guide on the slopes who had jokes But was serious about finding me and my folks Before the ice started sliding like our freedom and hope Down the side of the cliff into the freezing below! I was show a vision Christ given A selection of sights like the light from a prism My wife was with him singing songs with the children I belong with the pilgrims and the fighters that have risen! I’ve got my bible and rifle in the tightest grip Christ is the way I chose a life of discipleship , I found the ridge and the bridge across the wide abyss (Ready to climb the peak and reach up to the heights of this) climbing to the peak to see His Highness as a finalist!

Fallen 03:08
Fallen You were the best one of the brightest stars, Wonderful to behold (yes) lightning fast, I was young and impressed with how you'd write psalms, Charming design when rhymes possess righteous bars! And so confident your competence was strong and spread like a monument across continents, Father loved you and hugged you with confidence 'Till you became arrogant with embarrassing consequence! A born leader with musical duty Praise and worship making verses for the uni, You were beautiful Lucy But we became concerned when you learned movements of cruelty! Foolishly challenging rules carrying tools dazzling jewels like you were shooting a movie, But you were mad and confused with vanity too Bad news damaging views loosing your beauty! CHORUS You know I loved you Now its all changed You became ugly the day you brought pain Those thoughts you wrought that made you talk strange (You didn't call for help - self ordained!) x2 (A fallen angel unable to see the LORD reigns) I remember the day you became jealous, I remember the way in which you came to tell us, That there were new members/ new agendas That were brought into the family insanity flamed the embers! You never trusted Dad "he must be mad to snatch up all those orphans just because of the love He had" The way you rushed in to grab your cutlass fast without caution warning us all you were sure they must be bad! Then you found out they shared the same genetics, It made you possessive and jealous vain and reckless, Then your loud mouth tried to change the message to claim the blessing stressing His brains infected! You couldn't step into His presence And yet you say you possessed the same essence waving weapons Expressing your anger getting defensive I prayed you'd repent but instead you rebelled and made an exit! CHORUS Now your roaming the land growing demands Dicing with vices price is gold in advance Souls in a trance and the only command is life for a life sacrifices showing the plan! Devising schemes of supreme sizes with complex designs where objects freeze inside it, Inticing human beings to leave the righteous life provided by Elohim Almighty! You hated the kids made in His image Now your taking 'em in making 'em sin breaking the limits, Your just a snake in a ditch aching to finish every victim who trips into traps you laid for living spirits! there was a perfect man humans confirm who was crucified but then rose from the tomb observe I can't wait for Y'shua to return Very soon in the future we'll see Lucifer burn

THE BLIND SWORDSMAN …I lost my sight as a youngster Plunged into darkness eyes had been punctured, To survive the hunger I would fight on the tundra and slice 'em with the mic provided by the Ironmonger! Living with hardship on the margins Sharpening the sword of the spirit 'till it's sparkling in the darkness, Deliver hard lyrics of carnage Harnessing the force of the spirit 'till jot's image is in my carcass! You can expect the unexpected, first impression - unprotected Hidden weapons become effective, When they eject and stun the wretched, Keeping control after defeating my foes I make a humble exit Like I'm possessed with the soul of a Samurai Flows are released on potent beats that'll paralyse, Soldiers rest on the scrolls left by Malachai, Dome are breached and open clean when I grab the mic! The blind swordsman Rhyming with reason Christ is my portion Life has a meaning Divine calling Slicing the heathen leading 'em toward the truth fighting for freedom! This is the story of an orphan who trained until he became a furious swordsman of fortune, A blade inside his cane supported him His name was Zatoichi a masseur who had a quick draw that was awesome! A Yakuza without tattoo's Handling dice gambling jewels slicing candles in two, They assumed this man's a masseuse Smashing the mic challenging crews Grinding grammar for food! A serial killer something he'd later regret Reflected in his willingness to jump in and connect with those suffering Covering nuff of 'em in a sec, Detecting the villainous cutting 'em in the chest! They could see he was blind pagans were careless Underestimating his spacial awareness, Anybody in need he would save 'em Beheading the enemy legacy of a blades man!

Area 6 03:55
AREA 6 I was a copycat clocking that killer rhyme Body bags copy that drop a Philistine Sorry man but I gotta give a bit of time To the sinners life before its finished beginning with mine! I watched the bloodshed violence hate and crime I was desensitised probably by the age of 9 Take your time and then by the age of 10 Im making rhymes breaking spines with a laser pen, Maybe then crazy men will respects the skill check the kills, Put some pepper on whats left to grill Hammer to the skull brain on the pavement Grammer to the skull mammals trained in the basement Death is real my records deal with an agent Flesh is filled better still I'll wreck a stage an Step away let the flames engulf it Everyday pulp fiction listen to it get your skull split! Chorus (Check it) Every second that is spent Is one step closer to the very end, #1 You know my weapon is the pen - Revolving with rhymes  you'll find possession with intent #2 feel the pressure in your head - Repent and pray today we'd better represent, I had a wicked side plus I was a bit blind Till the spirit hit me and convicted me big time I was living in spitting distance of a sick mind Convinced it was winning while swimming against the riptide of this life, I think its time sin died Inside and outside rinsed clean drip dried, Which is impossible if I'm not inclined to the gospel of peace which gets increased when I'm in Christ! When thoughts manifested mans wretched Infected and damned without a gram of antiseptic Unless we can find a man elected to deal with the torture inside like a divine paramedic! Get the power ready apple macs melt Beating up tracks like a mad man with a blackbelt, Leaving em stacked up on a packed shelf For people to eat later eating beef flavour can help! Chorus Rich countries Big companies The number 6 You sitting comfortably? Kids are hungry Experimental Sick bunnies Stitched tummies Terror central Its funny! Evidential Money is minted printed in the devils temple! Thick dummies think for me Rebels get bloody Everybody got heavy mentals! Never content with inheritance Modifying body parts dying flying muscle and skeletons Invent monsters using elements Gods crying dont rely on artificial intelligence! A littlr evidence Transhumanism Enhancing the eye grants man supervision I roll with a remnant used to truth and wisdom who Do what we have to do to so choose a mission! Listen

Phantom Zone 02:20
The Phantom Zone Consuming the room truth or science fiction, 
 The rumours are true this dudes a wired Christian
 Who relies on the Messiah 
to provide sufficient 
Fuel for the fire true supplier of the diction,
 Fly in to the system of the solar 
An inter dimentional realm
 Given over to the owner
 Die inside a prison that is colder 
 The alpha and omega has control
 Listen closer and I'll show ya,
 The important war and  mission of a soldier 
Is fought with the sword and the wisdom of Jehovah
 The zone of the soul
 Where your sins are exposed
 And your calls ignored until you give them over, 
 To the Lord of the Universe master of the galaxy 
Caught in a battle between action and apathy
 in an antigravity contraption
 where atoms are contorted in orbit and packed into your anatomy! The phantom zone
 Stranded yo
 Random companions hanging alone
 Tantrums groans
 Abandoned souls
 Demanding an answer and a
chance to go home! Suspended animation damnation
 Wincing in pain glimpsing phantom faces
 Horrendous contamination 
Mad contagious
 Ink stains rinsing their brains of imagination! 
 Incarcerated for ages without aging
 Aware of everything but unable to engage in 
Locked into the bars like cages that are claiming their hearts and minds
 Scarred by time as it changes! 
Cant escape till you have the release date
 Trapped in a systematic intergalactic dream scape
 The only way to get a clean slate
enter the freeway through faith breaking out of the police state!
 Mental chains are broken when we break the mould an' remake our homes in the chosen, Temple gates open and re-shape the domes of those who like the DJ to replay the potent!

PROJECT AIR RAID vs 1 Whats up with this superficial loose fickle stupid and trivial music business? 
dudes are pickled juice dribbles you witness
My crew's official chewing gristle too vicious!
Using Jujitsu I'll grip new rhythms 
Twisted em an lifted to the roof they grew different, 
Choose tuition supervision clues given
Suspicious figures listen to superstition! 
Use the widom of the living God 
sit em in the synagogue
Gifted in the image of the risen,
If they choose the truth give em props
If not finish em like nimrod in the spirit as it's written! 
The limits off rip em
Shimmy shimmy yah got the vison
In the gym with my kids big bars mirrored 
fight the system Christ is risen when all you got is a few nickles 2 pistols 
and a pigeon... CHORUS Battle station Rap nation Smashing tracks leave mad lacerations Tackle those sack rappers who are fake an *have bad navigation I'll grab the apperators! (* need to step back and watch proper application) Its a shame to view puppets  spew rubbish and painful to watch it consumed by the public The tables been laid and soon they'll be coming to scrape the remains into the  veins of your stomach! The flames grew and something flew out of the rubble an angel of Babel unstable and sluggish, It made men slaves to ways that he loves but a few rugged braves were overcome with courage! Rushed in cutting with blades that were forged in the the flames of the Lord who reigns up on the summit, Customised weapons were made to be worn By the saints in war paint awaiting the ruckus! Aeroplane raids better Stay in the bunkers unless your names in the book of life and you're covered! Tear the fake away your days have been numbered As I plunder the stage  in ways dangerous to others! Im a liability to the military industrial complex Bomber jet ability Gliding at night time flying invisibly Locked on to the top gun with Constant delivery Fiery rhymes dive into the vicinity And literally come alive from inside of your limousine, You can either drive on or thrive on the mystery when filled with the content Project high-divinity! Silent and deadly violent considering My life is Christ's but the mic has been killing me, Dieing to hear me rip a beat and spit a freestyle meanwhile they're Whispering in the middle of Italy! Tear into the airwaves they're played visually Fairly tame hairbrain players change quickly Wear shades Air raids share pain and victory Bear caves stair case airbase history!

OathKeepers 04:11
Check it Imma get into this right now, It's time to step up never slide down, There's an advantage to standing on high ground Soldiers fight with oversight using live rounds! That's the message I'm protecting my house, Lets forget tryna lie down lights out, Shots fired whenever a crime's found Die proud knowing that I tried this is my vow! Are you a cunning fox or a wise owl, Would you fill your money box while your wife drowned, Or could you sacrifice your life? Find out why you're looking at the bloody cross with a dry mouth! It's a rugged path the one that Christ found, I'm spitting rugged raps because I like sound, Sitting in an underpass ripping mics (WOW) He's coming back like a Thundercat in a white gown! (CHORUS) Are you an Oath-Keeper? (I'm an Oath-Keeper) *Will you go deeper? (Gotta go deeper) Do you know Jesus (now I know Jesus) Is my soul reaper *(He's my soul feature) X2 *Are you a grown leader (I'm a grown leader) * Is my old Teacher …I've gotta tell you I'm committed, To my spouse to my house and my city, I've gone through hell God helped me to stick it out Lifted out whenever I dwelt in the Spirit! Many struggles fighting the righteous fight There's white knuckles tightening muscles like plenty get troubled I'm finding Elijah's might The mic buckles fire doubles when Messiah strikes! My entire life I've been observing Those that are devoted and who know which God they're serving, And those who're just conversing Never really taking into account the amount of folks they're hurting! I don't wanna be that I wanna see more I wanna read maps I gotta leap forward Word is bond means a lot better recall The days when we meant what we said now we free fall! CHORUS I promise to be a faithful husband, To take care of the children and love them, God stabilised an unstable substance laid bare the building and filled it with abundance! I promise to be a loyal companion, An oiled component in the royal battalion A Perry Barrbarian employed by the champion Rolling with the soldiers Enjoyable- maximum! I promise to not make any promises I intend to break mistakes and apologies, I won't take any hostages I won't break any locks or wake up the anonymous! I promise to rip every track I get on Raps hit ya head on I'm packing heavy attack heavenly backed weapons Penetrating caps with electrons Many are zapped and collapse in seconds!

Rapcha 03:33
Rapcha I live for the LORD and strive toward excellence The Word is my sword and it's all about the testament Give to the poor providing all types of refreshment and guidance While they're hiding from the war and pestilence, Faith without works is like a corpse without breath and since the body's stopped moving there's been a lot more decadence, Jesus resurrected from the dead He's the head of it Breathing splendour into every member who remembers it! He was the centre of attention now the devil is Death is spreading beheading any kind of reverence, Leading us into believing that's where the pleasure is Selfish motives promoted on Sky televish I mean television and that isn't where the treasure is The LORD has a plan and He's drawn out all the measurements Biblically methodical you can call me a methodist Evangelising and describing God's divine messages! Ring the alarm the Kingdom is coming But instead of sweating we should be singing something 'When the saints come marching in' with their trumpets On the day of reckoning when He begins the judgement, I cling to the blood of the lamb sinners should love it Because it covers them before they begin to plummet Understand the Son of Man will bring us comfort When brothers and sisters are living in a Christian republic! It's time for refinement like gold in the fire 'Till your mind's in alignment with the Holy Messiah You'll find the assignment is to grow in desire When you get to know the only one who knows our trials, I was living low until I chose the higher The milks sweet but give some meat to this growing child Built on the rock now I can behold his style Intelligent design rhymes are flowing like the Nile! A sound like the rushing of water in the firmament Will be heard in the world followed by pure turbulence The rapture will snatch up all of the Lords servants from the earth before it fractures and patches collapses permanent! The King will return to establish what His Word has said Concerning the kingdom that was hindered by accursed men All those who love Him will want nothing but to worship Him The serpent is crushed by dusty feet that meet in Birmingham! I yearn for the return of the eternal kingdom To this sinful world that pinches pearls and flings 'em To the swine who delight in crime burning wisdom Reversing the divine and cursing my learned kinsmen! Blind to the burden thats turned into a symptom You've observed the sin furthering murder in England It's time to repent and find the word that links them To the Prince of Peace sink the beast in an instant! Revelation heavens waiting for the signal The master will start the next chapter in a twinkle Pass the ink and a pad which has the sacred symbol flipping pages filled with illustrations that made it simple! The bridegrooms coming for the bride who stayed single God is triune and like a typhoon His weight hits you Turn from your wicked ways and face the grizzle race on make a song Hbomb change your visual!

Mind of the Master Sync into the mind of the Master… Captivating designs made to capture the imagination It's time for the rapture Activating rhymes describing divine stature! Thinking through the lines of the chapter In a universe where the Word defines matter Imagine the synapses firing Spit slang big bang atoms fly past ya! You can see the galaxy forming Bars are the stars keeping the planets in orbit The Sons in the centre gravity's calling The Carpenter's carving up all the granite for Him! Can you believe this radical drawing Left by the Architect for man to adore it? You can see His Majesty's awesome Blessed from the start and yet we plan to ignore Him! Enter the mind and you'll find an adventure
 Space and time making lines to the centre
 The inventor then entered His invention
 Sent with the intention of the redemption agenda!
 From His neural pathways through a porthole came immortal born to change the rat race
 Before there were rap tapes 
He'd recorded and established His audio for the fan base!
 The heart beats 
Reap the harvest
 You can read the charts
 see stars in the darkness 
Peaceful street marches
 Police charges
 Jesus feeds the starving 
Meeting targets!
 The life the death and resurrection
 The Logos circle 7 bread of heaven
 Look into the eyes of the master mind I dare ya
 the Afterlife will scare ya
If you dont accept Him! I heard about the traveller from Nazereth 
How he unravelled the castle labyrinth 
He broke the code and showed Pythagoras How to grow in battle and overthrow the savages! That's when I jumped into the river Punched in the code now I know I'm delivered He paid a figure infinitely bigger than any digit ever considered by the living He gave me the Spirit Which made me vigorous Saved a sinner that was ignorant and villainous Now I'm having visions of the beginning and the infinite wisdom of the King who delivered us! From the mind to my body and soul The spirit to the heart find the rock has been rolled The mics loaded and Gods in control Mined from the Mind find bars of solid gold!
