I - Do you know my name?

God took the Promised Land and put it in my bloodstained hand

I can sell you grace for your soul or you'll burn in hell far below

I'm your priest, I'm your king, I'm a Saint

This love your enemies thing's down the drain

Tell me, do you know my name?

Look I got two big horns like a lamb

Even though Peter was married I can't

Look I've got great big armie like a General

I may have a mistress but at least I'm a hetero

I'm your priest, I'm your king, I'm a Saint

This love your enemies thing's down the drain

Tell me, do you know my name?

Tell me, do you know my name?

Tell me, do you know my name?

My name tell me

II - Party to the lie

Who is this who challenges the ruling of the crown?

Father we must crush him and he never will be found

We must find a way, the man will surely pay

And when there's nothing left to try

He must take it back, this is the only way

We can't be party to the lie

Party to the lie

Something burns inside of me that you don't understand

I'm under the authority of God and not of man

God will make away. He will decide my fate

And whether or not I live or die

I won't take it back, this is the only way

I can't be party to the lie

Party to the lie

God will make away. He will decide my fate

And whether or not I live or die

I won't take it back, this is the only way

I won't be party to the lie

Party to the lie

III - Underground

Sun turns as black as the day

Night turns a cold steel gray

I want to stay

Where the Sun cannot be found

Friends cover me in the night

In a castle of warm colored light

Here I will stay tucked away

I'm underground

I thought I was coming to die

And that's what tey're thinking outside

But I will stay lost

'Til it's safer to be found

Writing the book in the day

In words that my people can say

Here I will stay tucked away

I'm underground

IV - Two down, one to go

The woman's found a place to go

Where she's gone to nobody know

But Martin's words are like wild fire

Spreading fast as pine on the pyre

Two down, one to go

Columbo sailed in '92

Guttenberg did his thing too

And Calvin came on right away

The human clock reads a whole nother day

Two down, one to go

The woman fled into the dark

From the darkness of man's heart

But she's coming from her hideaway

And I believe she still is today

Two down, one to go

Two down, one to go

Two down, one to go

V - Vineyard

A wild boar has entered in the vineyard

We'll burn his books and skin him alive

And we'll do him like all the rest

He never more will rise

You are Babylon the destroyer

You destroyed the truth with all of your lies

And will go down to the grave

And never more will rise

A wild boar has entered in the vineyard

We'll burn his books and skin him alive

And we'll do him like all the rest

He never more will rise

VI - Already home

I stand accused I'm beaten used and tired

They took on my words and threw them in the fire

As they cast me down there's something found within me

They can grind me to dust but life is just beginning

There is a truth that I'm feeling: Love full of healing

Somewhere I've never known

As I surrender completely: Pure and it's easy

Like I'm already home

I'm already home

Take me away I want to stay by the water

If I pass on won't you tell my sons and daughters

When I am gone you all must go on believing

Lay down you life 'cause love is what gives it meaning

There is a truth that I'm feeling: Love full of healing

Somewhere I've never known

As I surrender completely: Pure and it's easy

Like I'm already home

There is a place full of knowing: Like it was snowing

Waking me up at last

And as the pages keep turning: Yielded and yearning

Washing away the past

There is a truth that I'm feeling: Love full of healing

Somewhere I've never known (Already home)

As I surrender completely: Pure and it's easy

Like I'm already home (I'm already home)

There is a place full of knowing: Like it was snowing

Waking me up at last (Already home)

And as the pages keep turning: Yielded and yearning

Washing away the past (I'm already home)

Oh, God

I seek the glory that's from you and from you only

Oh, God

I seek the glory that's from you

I'm already home
