ROCK ON THE FRONT LINES:

"bobby bird "- days are burning, "quick! i'm leaving now!" | your ears are learning that fleeting sound | tomorrow, hold me close now, the day has run away | glass is breaking from hearts screaming sorrow | in the chest of those who only hold the thoughts of another day | but it's gone | for a while you danced with the sinners | not too long ago | and if tomorrow's today and today's tomorrow | don't you think you should know?

"footsoldier "- be strong in the lord and carry on | look up even if you stand alone | aim to please me and then you will see i'm not ashamed of you and your not ashamed of me | if we die with him we will live with him | and if we endure we will reign with him | if it weren't for the cross we'd all be lost | lord make us soldiers to fight for your cause | the sufferings of now cannot compare with the glory we will see in the air | and we're speakin the truth 'cause we want to be used | here we are, lord, we sing a song for you

"mathy math "- one day at school, you walk into math class | and all that consumes your mind | is algebra, trigonometry, degree and tangent, and sine | day after day, it's the same old thing | this circle of questions just seems to invade | where am i going, in college or in life | there must be more, for what i am made.

"in the year of our lord "- day and night plague your soul | for too long, you already know | here or then this day would come | but in your eyes, the race you've won | Jesus rescued soul, hanging in the balance of eternity | hear the rooster crow, fall o' tear of night and engulf me | you look around and noone came | noone there to call your name | only one hope to break the gray | a nail-pierced hand stretched your way | and lord, we've slipped away again | my heart is running from where you want it to | and the years go by so fast | will you bring us back to you?

"sad day in washington-" and a sin-stained cross stands to remind me of what you've paid | and all i do is see the mockery from grace i've made | i'm sorry, lord, that i've fallen again | i've turned your name into some sacriligious trend | and if a sad day in washington has led us to believe | that the lord has died and we should cry about the things that aren't concrete | the year is twenty something and it's so hard to breathe | will this nation find you, lord? it ain't easy for me to believe |a silver tongue and a tembling heart | Lord, i'm surprised you haven't gone | men in the streets with blood soaked hands | soon this day will dawn | are we sorry, lord that we've fallen again? | we've turned your name into some scriligious trend | my name is america and for this day i weep | you were the shpherd, lord, but we've forgotten that we're sheep | am i sorry, lord, that i've fallen again? | i've turned your name into some sacriligious trend.

"tear the veil-" tear the black, restraining veil that seperates my heart from yours | this heavy laden warrior is finally beaten down | wrent from shores of crystal peace where praise is from angel scores | my god, my god, why have I forsaken thee? | will my heart explode, will my breathing slow, as the fire drowns? | thoughts run off course at this madman's choice to ever let you down | rubber prayers bounce off the ceiling as i lay in pure defeat | feeling apathy consume me; sapping strength and life | my once unbroken spirit's gone; my heart's in retreat | watching holy bastion's crumble; casualties of inner strife | jesus, save us.

"hallelujah"- as i come into your presence i lift my hands to you, for you are holy | as i come into your presence, i sing a song to you, for you are good | and i can't no i can't take away your pain | but i know someone who can | so hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
