Long ago hearts were hard as stone Nations fell and this evil stood so strong They tried, to take his crown Almost reached the gate Then he burned their tower down We wait for these abominations, oh We’ll see their ghosts again This time Will be the last time You had warning signs And the first shall be the last This time they will cross a line You will see the sign And the first shall be the last Ages turn, bridges made to burn Darker days and the wicked with return to fight Hear their battle cry? Monsters call, you better pray for strength tonight We'll suffer through the tribulation, oh The beast will lose again This time Will be the last time You had warning signs And the first shall be the last This time they will cross a line You will see the sign And the first shall be the last This time Will be the last time You had warning signs And the first shall be the last This time they will cross a line You will see the sign And the first shall be the last And the first shall be the last

Cut your ties took their wives Evil set you free Children born were the scorn of the centuries I built this all and you destroy you made a choice It’s all about you…right now Everybody knows, everybody knows and you lose…right now Everybody goes, everybody goes Now there's nowhere left to run Wash away into the flood...nowhere left to run You watch…you watch…you watch… You watching over me? Now it’s time see the signs Like the days of Noah Every sin giving in Hear the giants coming? I built this all and you returned Now you will burn It’s all about you…right now Everybody knows, everybody knows and you lose…right now Everybody goes, everybody goes Now there's nowhere left to run Evil is undone...undone You watch…you watch…you watch… You watching over me? You watching over me?

I have asked for fame And I feel so ashamed For all that I’ve prayed All those days I betrayed your love Through all of those years Now the truth comes to tears for you…so I go And pray for grace to find my way Time to face the world beneath my prayers Time to find the humble man I know I won’t ask again For anything except your grace Nothing else will take your place…again I pray for strength to face the day Time to face the world beneath my prayers Time to find the humble man I know Time to face the world beneath my prayers Time to find the faith I lost again Leave me free of ego Teach me how to control my pride Never let it reach the heights of vanity I pray this in your name Time to face the world beneath my prayers Time to find the humble man I know Time to face the world beneath my prayers Now all I need is the grace that I see in you

Were you really blind? Did you try to hide it? Did you you ever think it through? You were generating And proliferating All the hate that you imbue He gave his life for you And now it’s time for truth...right? Now it all comes down to this When you’re face to face with him Do you kneel? Do you resist? Do you walk away again? Now you’re falling hard And it’s really showing Bigger picture getting clear All your violation And abomination Now the end is drawing near You live on borrowed time Time to pay it back...right? Now it all comes down to this When you’re face to face with him Do you kneel? Do you resist? Do you finally let him in? Now it all comes down to this I am face to face with him Humbled by his sacrifice Let him in I’m born again

Every day they parade 'Round another charade But know that they're hiding The one true creator Truth is their fiction Their lies an addiction To keep you from knowing Your god and your savior Now…it's time You fear the unknowing You're seeing the signs Right now...it's time Nearing the end And it's time to repent You're still holding onto Some dream of ascension Save yourself now Say his name and allow Truth and the life He's your god and your savior Now…it's time You fear the unknowing You're seeing the signs Right now…it's time You're hearing the trumpets You're seeing the signs Right now Long nights and darkened skies All fed through screwtape lies You're hearing the trumpets...now

The Forgiven 03:38
hey you who’d you think was watching through fear and all the pain you braved those
 days when all the rain would fall like 
tears now it’s time to find your faith again right now this is the time this is the place we are the ones to take this stand right now this is the time this is the place he is the one we’ll take his hand you are not alone he walks beside you your faith will take you home hey you, you think you’re losing battles no. war is won with every breath we take. pray for the weak and fallen stand up it’s time to find your strength again right now this is the time this is the place we are the ones to take this stand right now this is the time this is the place he is the one we’ll take his hand you are not alone he walks beside you your faith will take you home I tried to tell you...this is no holiday You can't shut down...you have to kneel and pray Just know he listens to every single word you're saying You are not alone He walks beside you You’re faith will take you home To familiar faces you knew And tattered we will stand Humbled broken pieces With forever in his hands We pray forgiveness We’re the forgiven We’re the forgiven

about

AEX Reston, Virginia

AEX was born out of the ashes of known secular band, 23RD. Ian Kaine MacGregor and Ravi Rao were disillusioned with record labels, MTV performances, and years of touring without spiritual reward. They cut their losses and walked away from the music industry. Years later, they reconnected with a shared vision of ministry through music and AEX was born. ... more
