One day there will come a time
Atonement's wrath will fall upon
Us who've joined the hellish ranks
Of death's blind heartless pawns
For those who's reckless evil cause
Is one of death, and fear, and pain
Punishment will rise up high
What they've dealt will be their chains
Respite is theirs for little time
Fury builds beyond a wall
Of breaking rock and crumbling stone
Their vengeance will be their fall
For there is one whose way is true
Who's path is life and peace
Retribution is only his
From it the evil flee
Follow him we could be free
Of life so dark and deep
Our tightening chains could fall apart
Thrown out to drift the seas
We choose this way of blood and pain
With knives we mark our souls
So deep and jagged none can heal
We condemn ourselves to Sheol
"Just turn away!" is Mercy's call
"Nothing here you need
Follow Father's loving cry
His grace to you he'll feed."
An oath of refuge he sings to you
Promise of eternal grace
For when one comes with open hands
Their sin no longer weighs
The time has come for love's embrace
Pride cast off for humble bows
For there is one whose way is true
His love is sung in vows
