I bought the album on Amazon and have been listening but would like lyrics. Does anyone have the lyrics? I found snippets of the lyrics online but they aren't the full ones. Any help would be superly appreciated. Thanks!

I listened through the beginning of AtWB a couple times so I could get the lyrics as accurate as possible, as I wanted to quote it in a Facebook status. So it's not much, but here's the beginning of AtWB, lol.
And yes, I'd like full versions of the lyrics as well.

Could someone who bought the cd and has mad typing skills post the full lyrics? I can make out most, but there are a few that get lost in the mix.

Dang, no lyrics with the CD!? =( Just found out about this band about a month ago by looking for Christian Metal on Last.fm on my Xbox. The songs that i've heard and read on youtube from the Mirror of Souls album have some great lyrics to them! Mirror of Souls was like a reading a book the story was so good.
I just ordered the new album from Best Buy today and was curious if it was going to come with the lyrics in the book. It would have been nice since it's hard to catch it all and the songs are so well written and have such good meaning n substance you'd think they'd be there =( Would have been real cool to have to be able to read along with the songs or on the toilet ^_^
Oh well, guess they'll pop up here on the internet sometime in the future ay.

No, no. You didn't read.
Try again:
He bought the album digitally (meaning he got mp3's only
The digital copies obviously don't come with a lyric book
He wants someone with the physical CD to type up lyrics and post on here.

Ahh that's great news then! Thanks.
And in the original post, it didn't say he bought mp3's and for someone with the CD to write the lyrics. He just said he bought it off Amazon and asked if anyone knew the lyrics =)

I'm sure they'll show up in the Net very soon.
Jacob777, welcome aboard! I'm always happy to see another Minnesotan here - seems like we've picked up a few in the recent past

Yes, just to clarify, I bought the mp3's legally from the windows phone/zune marketplace, so I don't have the cd booklet. The physical CD's of theocracy that I have ordered in the past have had really nice cd booklets with nice art design and lyrics, so I expect nothing different with AtWB.
I can make out most of the lyrics...it's just a few on Nailed that seem to be a little buried in the mix, comparatively.

I have the first part of "I Am"
"I Am the Light upon your path when you have lost your way
I Am the footprints in the sand the oceans tide cant wash away
I Am the shelter from the storm that rages on and on the incorruptible foundation that the wise man builds upon
I Am the bread that feeds the starving man upon the street"
That's all I've been able to come up with so far. Im sure its easy to hear but sometimes with me, it's really hard to hear lyrics.

If this makes the band uncomfortable, feel free to delete this post, but this is such a killer song that I can't resist giving it a shot.
And no, I don't have the CD yet. Just based upon more listens than I can count.
I am the light upon your path when you have lost your way
I am the footprints in the sand the ocean’s tide can’t wash away
I am the shelter from the storm that rages on and on
The incorruptible foundation that the wise man builds upon
I am the bread that feeds a starving man upon the street
I am the bounty on the table in the palace at the feast
I am the rain upon the earth after a scorching drought
I am the quenching of the thirst you never thought you'd be without
I am the melody that weaves its way inside your soul
I am the symphony, the masterpiece, the actor's greatest role
I am the poetry that speaks to you with every line
I am the songwriter who seems to write your life in every line
I am the simple truths that shaped your world from your birth
I am the vast volumes of knowledge spanning all across the earth
I am the whisper of the wind you feel but cannot see
I am the Alpha and Omega, first and last, eternally
I AM
You cannot see me
I AM
The Resurrection and the Life
I AM
The doorway ever high, I am
I AM
You cannot touch me
I AM
The bread of life, light of the world
I AM
Long before Abraham, I am
I am the trusting child whose simple faith is ever sure
I am the parent's love, unchanging, unconditional and pure
I am the loyal friend whose heart will never let you down
I am the hand that pulls you back into the boat before you drown
I am the fire (or thunder) and the glory and the blinding light
I am the still small voice that tells you what is wrong and what is right
I am the sacrificial lamb a guilty world reviled
I am the father ever waiting for his lost and wayward child
I AM...
I am the heart of the righteous desire and the fourth man you see in the midst of the fire
I am the giver of life and the promise of Israel
I am the hope of the lonely and lost and the blood running down to the foot of the cross
I am the breaking of chains and the tolling of freedom's bell
(I am the (blank) that eternally ring and the music too holy for angels to sing
I am the fire on the altar consuming the sacrifice
I am the three and yet I am the one and the grace of the Father and death of the Son
I am the one who redeems you by paying the highest price)
I am grace and mercy, I am sacrifice
I am endless glory, I am light and life
(I am long-awaited hope of Israel
I am longing sated, prophecy fulfilled)
I am from the beginning of time and
I am sustaining the system of life
I am symmetry, reason and rhyme and
I am conviction that cuts like a knife
I am the author of order and flow
I am the Father of Lights: Watch me put on a show!
[Can't make out this lines]
I am the keeper of so many beautiful days
I am power, I am glory
I am love's unending story
I am justice, I am honor
I am hope and living water
I am righteous, I am holy
I am three and one and only
I am sovereign, I am faithful
Everlasting, I am that I am
[Instrumental]
I am humility, the one who laid it all aside
Traded a crown of kings for a crown of thorns, betrayed by human pride
I am humanity, took all your curse and all your pain
I am divinity, eternity, forever I remain
I am the guilty scars as Roman soldiers tear my back
I am the crimson stain that washes all the souls fading to black
I am the one who bled in silence and endured it all
I am the Word who spoke no word with a thousand angels waiting for my call
I am your covenant, your hero in these bloodstained ages
I am your guilt, your sin, your death fulfilled for all the ages
I step into your shoes, your substitute, your sacrifice
Your (blank), your second chance, your breath of life
I AM
I am the joy of angels dancing in the streets of heaven
I am the sinner's prayer for mercy and a past forgiven
I am the Lamb upon the altar dying willingly
All hope that was, all hope that is, all hope to be
I AM

Feel free to delete this post if you want to/need to. These are my interpretations of "Light of the World".

So the candle's gone out, it's been soaked by the rain
And the cold winds of doubt have extinguished the flame
The lighthouse sits sightly in darkness again as the ship sails the ocean alone...
The sun's frozen over and all has gone cold
And the fires of the past have been bought out and sold
The light on the porch is abandoned and old so the Child cannot find His way home...
Arisen, forbidden,
We keep our candles hidden
Poor leaders that follow, floating with the tide...
"You are the light of the world," He said,
But we've blown out our candles and left men for debt
Singing, "We are the light of the world," He said,
As the darkness descends on us all!
If we were the light of the world today,
Would we hide in the shadows and scare them away?
Are we the light of the world? Are we failing to answer the call?
[Solo]
Men love the darkness much more than the light
For their deeds can be kept out of mind, out of sight
And the lighthouse ain't moving between wrong and right like "it's all relative after all"...
To stand like a wall and resist the temptation
To sell ourselves out for hollow acclimation
Achieving the message of weakened foundation
Revealing the cracks in the wall
No power, no glory,
No one to tell the story
No wonder it's all unraveling...
"You are the light of the world," He said,
But we've blown out our candles and left men for debt
Singing, "We are the light of the world," He said,
As the darkness descends on us all!
If we were the light of the world today,
Would we hide in the shadows and just look away?
Are we the light of the world? Are we failing to answer the call?
[Solo]
To lift up the fallen
To stand for the downtrodden
The poor and the hurting are our ministry!
"You are the light of the world," He said,
But we've blown out our candles and left men for debt
Singing, "We are the light of the world," He said,
As the darkness descends on us all!
"You are the light of the world," He said,
But we've blown out our candles and left men for debt
Singing, "We are the light of the world," He said,
While the darkness descends on us all!
If we were the light of the world today,
Would we hide in the shadows and darken the way?
Are we the light of the world? Are we failing to answer the call?
Failing to answer the call...?

Ah, upon another listen to the song (I typed from memory) "bloodstained pages" and "pain" definitely sound right.
As for the other two, maybe "your guilty scars?" I have no idea on the "brazen (name?)" part.

I'm sure they'll show up in the Net very soon.
Jacob777, welcome aboard! I'm always happy to see another Minnesotan here - seems like we've picked up a few in the recent past
Thanks bruh. Glad to be in the same state
Keep gunnin for that concert to get here ^_^ See ya around.
You typed that from memory? Well done. I had to go back and listen to get pain and brazen (blank). And you got way more out of the "chorus" than I was able to.

True story, that's why you read the whole thread, not just the first post
(Late reply from me, couldn't do it earlier)
Yea no doubt ^^
I did read em all, but just didn't really connect (on the post above mine which is the one i'm guessing you're talking about) that dude was getting the book when he said he was just waiting for the CD. I just thought he meant he was going to try and decipher the songs by listening to em.
Anyways, see ya around man, take care.
