Cornerstone 02:06
We've only just begun Built upon the rock our cornerstone And soon the end will come We know that we're Not so far from home Never on our own Rock our cornerstone Rock our cornerstone Mm, yeah So they say to me But say to me no more "He who made the key should make us see the door" But I've got faith to see No fantasy, nor lore I will wait to see the Lord He who faithfully rewards

City of Sin 02:48
Oh welcome to the city of sin Where they hunt you down And if you weigh a hundred pounds then they just might sell you for a hundred pounds Just might fill you with a hundred rounds Just might kill you 'cause they want your crown Tough life living on the hunting grounds There's fireworks outside! Oh welcome to the city of sin Where they train your mind To disable and Cain your kind Still mislabeling that age-old crime It's murder! But we pay no mind We the free thinkers so we pay no mind Hop on this table and it take no time The lie is on our side! Oh welcome to the city of sin Where they raise you foul But if you try to change your route Then they just might try to rearrange your mouth Like "La da dadi" how the tongue twist now Might get bloody when this thing go down Gonna take you in or gonna take you out It’s time to choose a side! Oh welcome to the city of sin Where they hunt you down And if you weigh a hundred pounds Then they just might sell you for a hundred pounds But don't bet on it 'Less you gotta high price on your head honey Fight to get ahead just to get headhunted And you know the killers love to get the dead money Who said money? That’s like a god around here And the word done got around on the round sphere that the world don't go around less it come near It's a lie but we all tried it to get rich!

Butterfly 02:27
But to fly like a butterfly Nothing holding down 'Cause His love is light Your love is lighter than the air I breathe You saved me from the plight of wicked Pharisees You saved me from the fire and the water Like the child of the father Freed my mind like the Gerasene Raised me like "Talitha cumi" Outta-the-tombed me And like Lazarus drew me I didn’t know you from Adam But from Adam you knew me And before you made an atom Had decided to choose me Uh, yoke lighter than loose leaf Word so heavy can’t carry it loosely Promise on top of promise that you never would lose me From burial to aerial the day that you loosed me But to fly like a butterfly Nothing holding down 'Cause His love is light I did nothing right I had nothing right In my darkened heart But His love is light, butterfly Butterfly flitter through the sunbeam Over slow stream as it glitter under low trees And the leaves don’t wither Full of fruit, rooted by the crystal river What am I that you really love me though above me That you mind me though you’re mighty Oo, oo, oo, oo You pour a fountain full of sun rays On a cloudy mountain till its countenance is Sunday Fly, risen from the dead Once a snared fowl and a prisoner of debt You sowed a seed in the dry ground And it cracked when you died but you crack sky now In the Heir, forgiven in your death Till I’m in the air and delivered to your rest But to fly like a butterfly Nothing holding down 'Cause His love is light I did nothing right I had nothing right In my darkened heart But His love is light, butterfly

Undone sinners of a worthless brand Baptized members of a purchased family Sheep kept in the Shepherd’s perfect hands We will all rise soon as the Son come down All rise soon as the Son come down First those of us who have long since slept Then those of us who are not yet dead All united in our perfect head We will all rise soon as the Son come down All rise soon as the Son come down [Vocal chops] First those of us who have long since slept (First those) Then those of us who are not yet dead (Then those) All united in our perfect head We will all rise soon as the Son come down All rise soon as the Son come down Oh, that day when we’ll be perfect Whole world bowing down in worship Someone ask us if it’s worth it now! We will all rise soon as the Son come down All rise soon as the Son come down First those of us who have long since slept (First those) Then those of us who are not yet dead (Then those) All united in our perfect head We will all rise soon as the Son come down All rise soon as the Son come down

Eternally 04:42
One day we’ll see New life complete The world redeemed Eternally No more roadkill No more parasitic fungi Growing out of insects insides till they die No more babies drowning In a sea of our solutions Where a burning question's answered with a fire No more One day we’ll see New life complete The world redeemed Eternally No more love lost No more thorns to pierce our side No more sinners sinning When the Son reveals his bride No more heartbreak ever No more disappointing lies No more children missing No more poverty nor crime No more idol worship No more images shall stand No more treachery nor wickedness Shall fill the heart of man No more tears nor mourning For the old has passed away No more death nor journey To the darkness of the grave It’s a brand new earth It’s a brand new heaven Neither moon nor sun Groom and bride descended And the two are one Hand in hand together And the two are one God and man forever God and man forever God and man forever God and man forever God and man forever God and man forever God and man forever
