From the recording Sacrilegious (5)
Lyrics
Blood on the altar, puke on the floor
A man in the corner is not himself anymore
His hands strike the table, his mouth spits blame
Something underneath him keeps calling my name
He laughs at the cross with a stranger's grin
Names every weakness, invites them in
The room turns bitter, the lights bend
But the priest steps forward: this is where it ends
By the seal, by the sacred word
By the blood that death has never conquered
Leave this body, leave this breath
You have no claim, you have no throne in death
Jesus, stand where the fear has grown
Break every chain and heal every moan
The voice says, "Old man, your heaven is small
Your God will not answer, your prayers will fall"
The priest raises trembling hands to the scarlet sign
And answers, "The living Christ is standing here tonight"
You are not the master
You are not the name
You are snakes beneath the judgment
You are nothing in His flame
[Scream]
OUT!
OF!
HIM!
Hail the King — hear the war cry
Hail the King — let the false voice die
Hail the King — every chain undone
Hail the King — through the risen Son
The windows shake hard, the possessed man crawls
The demon spits curses and tears at the walls
Then silence arrives no more hate
And the darkness
Leave this body, leave this breath
You have no claim, you have no throne in death
Jesus, stand where the fear has grown
Break every chain and call him home
He wakes with tears and a clear-eyed stare
The weight is gone from the empty air
He touches the cross, then falls to his knees
No longer a prison — no longer deceived
I was lost, but You called my name
I was bound, but You broke the chain
Jesus, stand where my fear had grown
You cast out death and You brought me home
Follow the light, leave the old life behind
Mercy has opened the door of the mind
The man who was captive now walks in the sun
By the power of Jesus, the battle is won
