Sanctus Real Album

We're sending out a message to the future,
that once could not communicate
Don't think it's something thats electric,
just 'cause we're using the radio waves.

We're turning on the lights,
down through the hall of time.
Flip on the switch, illuminate the future,
send a shock through the power lines.

Turn it up so everyone hears it,
transmit the signal to the world.
You gotta listen for what you're missing,
it's gonna change your life.

We're turning on the lights,
down through the halls of time.
Flip on the switch, illuminate the future,
send a shock through the power lines.
Flip on a switch, illuminate the future.

I wanna see the lights illuminate the night.
Our endless hearts burning like the stars,
lights of the world, arise.

We're turning on the lights,
down through the halls of time.
Flip on the switch, illuminate the future.
Send a shock through the power lines.
(Flip on a switch, illuminate the future)
lights of the world, arise.
Flip on a switch, illuminate the future.

Ohhhoohoh (x2)

I think I caught a glimpse of
Life without friends
Bitter, empty, hollow, dark and lonely
We never meant to hurt each other
So Can't we trust again
And take it as a chance
To keep on growing

I don't know why it doesn't come easy
But I know that we could be happy
If we'd only learn to love

Oh oh we need each other
So what's the fighting for
Oh oh we need each other
Please don't close the door
Oh oh we need each other
Through all the highs and lows
Oh oh we need each other
Cuz no one's meant to live alone

Life revolves around the need
Of having someone
Causing every complicated feeling
Oh and I don't want to loose you
And there is nothing wrong with
Telling me what you need
To keep our love strong

It's just a part of being a family
Taking the good with the bad and the ugly
If we could only learn to love

Oh oh we need each other
So what's the fighting for
Oh oh we need each other
Please don't close the door
Oh oh we need each other
Through all the highs and lows
Oh oh we need each other
Cuz I don't want to be alone

Oh Oh we need each other
Fathers and Mothers
Oh oh we need each other
All your sisters and brothers
Oh oh we need each other
We need friends and lovers
Oh Oh we need each other

Well I need you
You need me
Cuz that's the way
It's meant to be
I need you
We need each other
(I don't want to be alone)
(x2)

Do you believe in the restoration of a broken life
Hiding behind a face yeah you never know what you might find
There in the darkness beneath the surface of time and space
Could be a treasure that you'd only see thru the eyes of grace

Looking for a diamond in the black coal
It feels good when you strike gold
Diamond in the black coal
If you never look then you're never gonna know

Well it's so sad when something so radiate is kept from the light
Cause I've seen divine transformation that Jesus provides
And like a jeweler with a lifeless gemstone
He can make you shine

You could be a diamond in the black coal
It feels good when you strike gold
Diamond in the black coal
You gotta look or you're never gonna know

Precious diamonds
Brilliant shining
It's not always what you see
A good heart is just like a

Diamond in the black coal
It feels good when you strike gold
Diamond in the black coal
You gotta look or you're never gonna know

It's time for healing, time to move on.
It's time to fix whats been broken too long.
Time to make right, what has been wrong.
It's time to find my way to where I belong.

There's a wave that's crashing over me,
and all I can do is surrender.

Whatever you're doing inside of me,
it feels like chaos but somehow theres peace.
And it's hard to surrender to what I can't see,
but I'm giving into something heavenly.

time for a milestone, time to begin again,
re-evaluate who I really am.
Am I doing everything to follow your will?
I'm just climbing aimlessly over these hills.

So show me what it is you want from me,
I'd give everything, I surrender to...

Whatever you're doing inside of me.
It feels like chaos but somehow theres peace.
And though it's hard to surrender to what I can't see,
I'm giving into something heavenly.
Something heavenly...

Time to face up, clean this old house.
Time to breathe in, and let everything out,
that I've wanted to say, for so many years.
Time to release some of held back tears.

Whatever you're doing inside of me,
it feels like chaos but I believe...

You're up to something bigger than me,
larger than life, something heavenly.

Whatever you're doing inside of me,
it feels like chaos but now I can see...
This is something bigger than me,
larger than life, something heavenly.
Something heavenly...

It's time to face up, clean this old house.
Time to breathe in, and let everything out.

Can we get back to where we started
When creation lived peacefully in Your hands
Before the wars began

And all these years we have been divided
Jesus' voice has been gently calling us home
And we can't wait anymore

Lord we feel You now
Wanting to come down and teach us how to

Sing oh sing
With one voice how sweet it will be
When we sing oh sing
One church under one King and we will sing

Pride has no purpose in God's kingdom
Now's the time for His church to join hands again
Oh together we must stand

Lord we need You now
LyricsSend Your Spirit down and free us as we

Sing oh sing
With one voice how sweet it will be
When we sing oh sing
One church under one King and we will sing

Hear the voices ringing out (You are King)
We will stand together now (You are Lord)
Hear the voices singing loud (You are King)
Live in peace
Live in peace and

Sing oh sing
With one voice how sweet it will be
And we will sing oh sing
One church under one King and we will sing

Hear the voices ringing out (You are King)
We will stand together now (You are Lord)
Hear the voices singing loud (You are King)
Live in peace

Let the church of God ring out (You are King)
We will stand together now (You are Lord)
Hear the voices singing loud (You are King)
There is only one King

This too shall pass oh but it always comes back
And it's knocking upon your door
You say how did you find me here
Cause I've been running for years

Now you're back in the same place
You've been here before
Stuck in a maze trying to find an open door
Pray for the strength and take a leap of faith

You fail in your mind long before you ever try
Why do you believe those lies
You love to drown your fears
But you've been drowning for years in tears

Back in the same place
You've been here before
Stuck in a maze trying to find an open door
Pray for the strength and take a leap of faith

So what are you waiting for
Cause there is a Saviour waiting to save you
What are you drowning for

Back in the same place
You've been here before
Stuck in a maze trying to find an open door
Pray for the strength and take a leap of faith

Well I just need a place to lay my head
Forget the chain that hangs around my neck
These guns are not as heavy as the hearts they defend
I can't wait to get back home where I can find some rest

When I lay down my guns and lift my hands
Surrender to Love and live again
May this desert reach its end where my new life begins
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands

And I have seen the devil in this place
And I lost myself when my friends found the grave
When you're this far from Heaven
It's hard to keep the faith
I'm barely holding on
I can't wait to

Lay down my guns and lift my hands
Surrender to Love and live again
May this desert reach its end where my new life begins
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands
Lyrics
And I'm laying down these burdens
Taking off the weights
And I can't count the miles that I've walked to find my way
To lay down these guns
How I need to lay down these guns

Lay down my guns and lift my hands
Surrender to Love and live again
May this desert reach its end where my new life begins
And I'll abandon my defenses and live to love again
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands

Lay down
Lay down
Lay down my guns

I know this life I lead will pass away
Along with every other earthly thing
So I will set my heart on a higher plain
Where my treasure lies with You

And in this marriage of our hearts
There is no death do us part
For You are eternal
And I am eternally Yours

And I could never lose Your love to sickness
Oh I could never lose You to divorce
And there's no concept of abandonment
For I am safe within Your arms

And in this marriage of our hearts
There is no death do us part
For You are eternal
And I am eternally Yours
Oh I am eternally Yours
I am eternally Yours
Lyrics
(No abandonment)
(Safe within Your arms)

I never had enough until I found You
I never knew love until I met You
I never had enough until I found You
And now I have everything

And in this marriage of our hearts
There is no death do us part
For You are eternal
And I am eternally Yours
And I am eternally Yours
Oh I am eternally Yours

I could never lose You
No I will never lose You
I could never lose You

And this life will pass away
But You will never change
Oh this life will pass away
Oh but You will never change

(feat. Katie Herzig)

Oh I want every second of the minutes in the hours of these days
Cause there's too many trees to climb
And secret spots to find down by the lake
Oh the fireflies are out and momma's calling now

We can't go to sleep cause we'll wake up older
We can't let these nights steal away half our lives

And we will spend our days finding helpless competition to defeat
Yeah we'll chase away the girls and pretend
that we don't want 'em on our street
Yeah the sun is running too
Being chased off by the moon
And we should go to bed but we'll catch fireflies instead

We can't go to sleep cause we'll wake up older
We can't let these nights steal away
And I don't want these days to ever be over
We can't let these nights just steal away

Oh just stay awake with me
Won't you stay awake with me
Oh stay awake with me

We can't go to sleep cause we'll wake up older
We can't let these nights steal away
And I don't want these days to ever be over
We can't let these nights steal away half our lives

What will they say when I'm gone?
and words that are written in stone,
under my name what will they claim about me?

Oh I wanna leave a legacy, to be remembered.
More than just a memory that fades away.
Because we only, we only get one life.

Free me, my hands are tied,
I'm so tired of wasting time.
These endless inventions steal my attention from real life.
and when it's done, when it's over...

Oh i wanna leave a legacy, to be remembered.
More than just a memory that fades away.
because we only, we only get one life

And will the world see me cry?
Will they look at my life?
And when will the world see...


Oh c'mon, can't we, can't we, can't we realize..
No more, no more, no more wasting time,
because we only, we only, get one (oh just one) life.

Oh I wanna leave a legacy to be remembered.
More than just a memory that fades away.
Because we only, get one shot at this one life.
One moment in time..
Because we only, we only get one life.
This one time.. This one life.
Because we only, yeah we only..
