I Want A Screen Around Me by Ed Englerth
//: I Want A Screen Around Me ://
I don't want to live with reality
oh put a Screen Around Me
//: I want some peace of mind ://
I'm tired of this twisted spine
I want some peace of mind
//: Oh treat me special ://
not too proud to genuflect
Just treat me special
The world keeps bumping
through the universe
it's a rocky ride
that just gets worse
with everyone trying
to be first
it's no wonder
we all feel the curse
//: I Want A Screen Around Me ://
I don't want to live with reality
oh put a Screen Around Me

I Killed You

I Killed You by Ed Englerth
I remember when we met
you asked me what'd I want
I asked your name
it all seemed so casual
you said to follow
it was like you knew me
I couldn't explain it
till I read you biography
* I killed you
I stripped you n' beat you
I killed you
then threw you in a hole in the ground
well I wasn't very happy
n' I'm a long way from proud
I drove in the nails
and I jeered with the crowd
as you hung there
between heaven and earth
you died in my place
you took on the curse *
you told me
I didn't know what I was doing
you forgave me
even as you were being killed *
you said you cared
I know you did
you told the truth
n' it weren't no trick *

Victim Of Love

Victim Of Love by Ed Englerth
He loved us so
he left heaven to become
a victim of love
he was tortured and beaten
placed redemption in reach
a victim of love
(Chorus)
//: Victim of love :// 3x
The ultimate victim of love
today as we walk
n' stumble n' fall he's
a victim of love
he extends us grace
as tears run down the face of
the victim of love
(chorus)
how his love hunts us down
till we finally give up
and invite him into our hearts
and now we've become his
(chorus) (chorus)

Time Tree

The Time Tree by Ed Englerth
watch the clock
hear bells ring
don't stop
reckoning
try so hard
can't hold
slips away
from every man
pure pain
and fire fall
on the time tree
hanging crimes
big n' small
on the time tree
death by minutes
hopeless hours
walking dead
centuries tower
more than a seasons
in jeopardy
flesh and spirit
mortality
pure pain
and fire fall
on the time tree
hanging crimes
big n' small
on the time tree
It's a miracle
another chance
undeserved
innocents
pure pain
and fire fall
on the time tree
hanging crimes
big n' small
on the time tree

Down On My Knees

Down On My Knees by Ed Englerth
I bow my head
I close my eyes
my lips whisper you name
time's set aside
every night
I review the day
ask forgiveness
there's no debate
a place of agony, a place of peace
a time of fasting and a time of feast
I concede my needs
down on my knees
I need you help
that's so evident
can't plead ignorance
no one's innocent
games I've played
made life obsolete
I want to live, so
no more make-believe
a place of agony, a place of peace
a time of fasting and a time of feast
I concede my needs
down on my knees
it's a season of prayer
it's not just a mood
I'm down on my knees
I want you
a place of agony, a place of peace
a time of fasting and a time of feast
I concede my needs
down on my knees

Sin Kills

Sin Kills by Ed E
* Sin kills and it's no big secret
It's been like that
since the beginning of time
It seems like it'd be obvious by now
Maybe we've grown up blind
This world is crumbling around us
We've turned our backs on God
We've dreamed our dreams
They all seemed right
But nothing's right *
If we want to see
The walking dead
Just open our eyes
We die a little more every day
As we walk away*
If we say we don't sin we lie
If we refuse the savior we die * *

That's Enough
02:42
|

Enough by Ed Englerth
Enough of this futility
it's killing me slowly
i'm only moved to deep depression
in a harbor whose depth is inadequate
//: that's enough ://
enough for a month or two
and mending the mold on the moon
stars above me
as emptiness surrounds
I stand against the sky
I weep and shout
//: that's enough ://
enough words to choke on
explanations drawing straws
times an idea that I distrust
in the middle of the night
when I'm giving up
//: that's enough ://
while I've still got
one ounce of strength
I struggle till
I fall off the edge
When I'm headed for the jagged rocks
then I surrender to you love
your love
//: that's enough :// //: that's enough ://

I've Got A Heart For You

I've Got A Heart For You by Ed Englerth
Time doesn't change
the infinite weight
eternity's the same
the mortal parade
I've Got A Heart For You
individual hearts beat
the questions repeat
n' grow like a seed
that's been planted deep
I've Got A Heart For You
no matter what you've done
you are not excluded
come as you are
I make all things new
I've Got A Heart For You
I hear your pleads
reach for your need
the truth sets free
when you believe
I've Got A Heart For You
love's magnified
in endless supply
answers align
deathless desire
I've Got A Heart For You

Haunted

Haunted by Ed Englerth
There’s a voice
It’s small and quiet
There’s a vision
I can’t forget
It’s a cry
In the winds of time
So often (so often)
I want to hide
I’m being haunted
I’m being tracked down
I feel the breeze so I know
I’ve been found
There’s a tune
That I can’t carry
I try so hard
I get so weary
Even when
I’m at home
You won’t
Leave me alone
I’m being haunted
I’m being tracked down
I feel the breeze so I know
I’ve been found
Is it the story that carries my thoughts to you
Or hope for meaning beyond the things I do
I’m being haunted
I’m being tracked down
I feel the breeze so I know
I’ve been found
//: I’m being haunted
Oooh oooh oooh ://

Ain't No Grave

Aint No Grave – by Ed Englerth
Ain’t no grave – Gonna hold me
When I die – won’t be no tragedy
When I go down – he’ll raise me up
He’ll call my name n’ up I’ll jump
Ain’t no grave gonna hold me
Oh death – where is your sting
Where’s that pain – you’ve been promising
You can do your best but when you’re done
I’ll be one more proof that Jesus won
Oh death where is your sting
When I think – about that day
And this world –and it’s decay
I can close my eyes and almost see
My Jesus coming back for me
When I think about that day
(repeat 1st verse)

I'll Walk Away

|

I'll Walk Away by Ed Englerth
slowly as we talk
I want to touch
temptation oh temptation
I think I know
what's possible
I don't need any explanations
There's no anthem to sing
and I don't have the right words to say
I won't bow my head in shame
as God grants grace I'll walk away
I feel I'm standing
in the valley of death
It never looked so good before
I warily watch
as the danger seeps out
of each n' every pore
There's no anthem to sing
and I don't have the right words to say
I won't bow my head in shame
as God grants grace I'll walk away
evil presses the mark
gonna rent my heart
hear the hell hounds bark
it seems so dark, so dark, so –
There's no anthem to sing
and I don't have the right words to say
I won't bow my head in shame
as God grants grace I'll walk away
//: I'll walk away ://
as God grants grace

What Kind Of Revolution

What Kind Of Revolution by Ed E
The halls of justice
Are empty and cold
Their concept of right
Comes from below
We elect, representatives
To a Congress of futility
What kind of revolution
Church trades God
For another
She's working on Love
As a debtor
The artist reflects
Through a darkened glass
To interpret the view
A perpetual task
What kind of revolution
Something deep down is shaking me
God, what are you doing
There's a revolution raging inside
I hear your voice calling
What kind of revolution
Is coming down
What kind of revolution
You taking about
What kind of revolution
Listen for that sound
What kind of revolution
Hear somebody shout
What kind of revolution
Some just want out.
