[ti:Absolution Day] [ar:Theocracy] [al:Mirror Of Souls] [00:02.00]Theocracy - Absolution Day [00:30.00] [00:32.55]The stage is set [00:34.43]A courtroom where I stand shackled in chains [00:38.17]No defense to fight the charges [00:41.00]Brought against my name [00:43.60]Guilty on all counts [00:49.26]And the penalty is death [00:54.45]I cannot say a word [00:56.55]Because I have no words to say [00:59.85]For I deserve the final judgment [01:03.11]Brought on me today [01:05.55]Guilty on all counts [01:11.33]And the penalty is death [01:16.94]"Wait! No more!" [01:19.65]Suddenly another takes the stand [01:23.59]My Advocate [01:25.53]To plead my case, a perfect, blameless man [01:31.61]"I will take his penalty (I'll pay his price) [01:36.47]Place the judgment all on me (Not guilty) [01:42.00]And let him go free" [01:44.80]Bound in chains [01:46.32]I owed a debt that I could not pay [01:48.77]Standing guilty in every way [01:51.27]When grace and mercy brought absolution [01:55.63]Adonai, I raise my hands to the sky in praise [01:59.54]For you have taken my sin away [02:01.96]Behold, today is my absolution day [02:09.84]Only the death of the One [02:12.05]Could make the sacrifice complete [02:15.52]The Lam has sprinkled His own blood [02:18.53]Upon the mercy seat [02:20.93]Absolution day [02:26.34]Burn the stain of sin away [02:32.27]"By my blood [02:35.04]All you heavy laden, enter in [02:38.77]I'll give you rest [02:40.56]So lay your burden down and start again [02:47.51]I've already paid your price (I've paid your price) [02:52.54]And built a bridge from death to life [02:57.05]To eternal life" [03:00.23]Bound in chains [03:01.78]I owed a debt that I could not pay [03:04.31]Standing guilty in every way [03:06.93]When grace and mercy brought absolution [03:10.92]Adonai, I raise my hands to the sky in praise [03:14.76]For you have taken my sin away [03:17.57]Behold, today is my absolution day [03:24.49] [03:53.56]No priest can say I'm worthy [03:57.23]No sacraments or holy laws can take my sin away [04:06.00]No church can wash my spirit clean [04:09.51]For the scarlet stain that paints my soul to sleep [04:14.98]Runs way too deep [04:22.20] [04:50.90]No blessed holy water [04:53.96]Can sanctify me in the eyes of God [04:59.01]The great I AM [05:02.57]But He has made provision [05:05.11]To lift me up and wash me in the blood [05:08.20]Of the spotless Lamb [05:13.02]For Christ alone is worthy [05:16.08]To pay the price to set all sinners free [05:21.08]For even me [05:24.53]When all works fall short and efforts fail [05:27.51]I realize that faith alone's the key [05:32.30]Absolution for all who believe [05:38.04].....
