Defiance - In The Midst Of Lions

What a terrible thing to fall into the hands of a living God

Screaming, «It's not my fault!»

But the devil does not fight fair

An evil plague of sin is consuming this shell of good

Secrets hidden from the eyes of man are revealed in Your presence…

Are revealed in Your presence

A worthless shield put up to hide the iniquities, day after passing day

Crying out to your creation… crying out, «I Am, I am here.»…

«I Am, I am here.»

But the devil does not fight fair, while it falls upon deaf ears as though

never spoken before

What a terrible thing to fall into the hands of a living God

Screaming, «It's not my fault!»

But the devil does not fight fair

And when you stand before His seat of judgment, what will you hear?

What will you hear?

«I never knew you.

I don’t care!

And while you stood on the street corners,

screaming your prayers, I starved to death, naked and bare!

But you never

cared!

You never turned your head as I begged beneath pointing, crooked fingers

attached to crooked, faithless men!

I am consumed by your anger!

Terrified by your rage!

Love and grace?

What a beautiful revelation in

relation to the patience you practice towards the sin that you hate.

This is the message that I proclaim: Kiss the Son!

Because the day will come

that you perish from the way.

You’re toying with the flint that starts the

sparks that turn into the fire that fan the flames.

I could have been your

escape!

I Am!

But the devil does not fight fair.

You sweep people away like

dreams that disappear!

I Am!

But the devil does not fight fair.

I could have

been your escape!»
