More lyrics in the notebook. If this song doesn't make much sense to you or certain phrases seem strange, bear in mind that this was written specifically to the secular black metal scene.
Standing by the truth
You are bound to see lies
But they are only a sign
That you are aware
So you were a devout follower, who followed most of the rules. You prayed, you believed that it was all for you. But you were led astray in the face of adversity when the "shepherd" led you into troubled waters. You couldn't trust Him anymore, so you took matters into your own hands. Here, you found all of the lost sheep, without God in their hearts, and saw it as a token of acceptance. You asked why God allowed you to be so, never realizing that you were crushing yourself with free will. Your hand led you astray, into the darkness, where satan could take it. Finally, you were part of a flock that got you, all questioning why God supposedly spoke hatred, all while serving the one who was causing it.
You fell victim to what you saw
Never realizing
It was the target
You should have been fighting
Standing by the truth
You are bound to see lies
But they are only a sign
That you are aware
Standing by the truth
You are bound to see lies
But they are only a sign
That you are aware
You began to see the negative in the world. You saw that the church is corrupt. You saw that society was full of lies. You saw that people were blindly following things they didn't understand. You looked in and saw your own pain. These were only the things you were supposed to be fighting. God dislikes them as much as you do. Now that you see them, can you change them?
You can change them, but you have to trust God.
You have to unclench your fist, and pick up the weapon that you really need.
Standing by the truth
You are bound to see lies
But they are only a sign
That you are aware...
Standing by the truth (We want you, wolf)
You are bound to see lies (On the midnight run)
But they are only a sign (Leave the black behind)
That you are aware (Come into the sun)
Standing by the truth (We're calling you, wolf)
You are bound to see lies (We still want you home)
But they are only a sign (Our pack feels empty)
That you are aware (Come in from the cold)
Standing by the truth (We want you, wolf)
You are bound to see lies (On the midnight run)
But they are only a sign (Leave the black behind)
That you are aware (Come into the sun)
Standing by the truth (We're calling you, wolf)
You are bound to see lies (We still want you home)
But they are only a sign (Our pack feels empty)
That you are aware (Come in from the cold)

Lyrics 7
I wrote another post a few minutes ago below this one. Please read that as well.
When Jesus came into the world, He did so with good intentions, so that the world may be saved, but they continued in their evil ways. The light they wanted was shining right in front of them, but because their deeds were exposed, they fought against Him rather than repenting.
He taught, and they reviled.
He prayed, and they rebelled.
He loved, and they hated.
He healed, and they accused Him.
He showed them the light, and they mocked Him.
He showed them how to go to Heaven, and they planned to kill Him.
He spoke, and they drove Him out of cities.
He protected the sheep, and they ran away.
He died, and they laughed.
He saved us from our sins, and we pretend not to hear Him.
How much longer will it continue?

Israel?
Note: I edited this post a bit.
I find myself concerned about the Jews in the world, and especially in Israel. The Bible states very clearly (John 14:6) that the only way for any human to obtain salvation is through Jesus, and today's Judaism doesn't accept Jesus.
I also still don't like that Israel today uses a hexagram ("star of David") on their flag. From my understanding, that symbol has no link at all to David. It's certainly not mentioned in the Bible unless, as some interpret Amos 5, God was warning against it when talking about "the star of your god". It doesn't help that the symbol is even more closely associated with witchcraft.
I know it's called the "star of David" today, but its origins should be a pretty big warning sign. Certainly it doesn't belong on Israel's flag.
We should pray for them. And evangelize, if possible. But also pray for them.

I had a thought yesterday. So the Bible continues to be the top-selling book each year, which is good! It'd be better if more people took the time to understand what was in it when they bought it, but there you go.
My concern, however, is that some people may mistake this as completely unalterable evidence for Christianity. It's certainly encouraging that even in a world where people can be so greedy as to own mansions and entire garages of cars, and feel justified in it, God's word continues to ring through, but this kind of thing can lead to confusion.
God can guide us to purchase Bibles, and certainly if He really wanted to, He could just force us to, but He doesn't force us to. He guides us. It's our choice whether to buy them or not. Now, I don't think the book of Revelation touches on book sales in any way, but the events described in it certainly suggest a period of time when the Bible won't be at the top of the best-selling lists. Of course, that period of time will end one day, and evil will be defeated in the end, but in the meantime, things are going to look pretty rough for awhile. The point is, we can't take earthly things like book sales and use them as evidence. It's this kind of misguided thinking and assumption-making that causes people to think that unpleasant experiences must be "God abandoning them", or something. (See link)
Again, it's humankind's choice to buy Bibles. Evidence in regard to the purchase of a Bible is somebody who reads the Bible they purchased, and learns from its word. The changes they experience inside would be the evidence. If sales for it were to drop, it would only be the devil tempting people, like he always does. It's an earthly numerical figure. It's important to discern things like this. People often get confused over human perception, vs the actual truths implied by Christianity. If anything, if sales were to ever drop, that would probably be a good sign for us to turn to God even more. See?
Approach this subject prayerfully.
God bless you all, according to His perfect will. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Lyrics 6
I wrote this at the top of the page in the notebook: Matthew 10:41-42, 18:1-4, 10-14, 19:13-15, 23:37-38
Sadness at the blackened compassionlessness of man; corrupting our youth for a measly dollar.
Selling out our youth in deception and carelessness, leaving them open to be taken by the foe, you start up industries and trends, promoting materialism, killing the spirit within; riding on them is the disgusting image of your own agendas, riding on youth to back your sinister desires.
Ruining the integrity of our children, you leave them exposed to wolves, by adhering to society for the purpose of inoffensiveness, and indifference, and disgust in the name of evil.
Distorting the truth of ancient, you deceive the innocent by infecting them with plague, subliminally ruining them, leaving our future dead. You drag society down to its lowest level to fulfill your wicked purposes, and target our children to make it happen.
Woe to the one who puts a stumbling block before these little ones; it would be better for you if a millstone were tied around your neck and you were drowned in the sea.
The media is satanic, and will not rest until children are fully in their claws. We who watch them introduce them to a Being who wishes to embrace them, to care for them, to warm their souls anew, the heavenly Father, and we will resist all else until all else is gone.

Lyrics 5
The deaf know that hearing exists
The blind know that seeing exists
The numb know that feeling exists
But they do not experience it
So why do they still believe in it?
Humanity cannot experience spiritual feelings with the five senses, so many assume that spirits and Biblical truths do not exist.
They are truly deaf, blind and numb.
Many assume that spiritual truths do not exist.
They are deaf, blind and numb.
The blind know that seeing exists
The numb know that feeling exists
But they do not experience it
So why do they still believe in it?
Humanity cannot experience spiritual feelings with the five senses, so many assume that spirits and Biblical truths do not exist.
They are truly deaf, blind and numb.
Many assume that spiritual truths do not exist.
They are deaf, blind and numb.

Reference for these lyrics: John 18:28 up to John 19:22
A fountain of lies spews from this Earth.
All too many are ready to drink at the first sign of thirst.
How many of us are like Pilate, subtly supporting
Christ while publicly denying and working against his teachings?
A fountain of lies spews from this Earth.
All too many are ready to drink at the first sign of thirst.
How many of us are like Pilate, subtly supporting
Christ while publicly denying and working against his teachings?
