Waking up the dead, I love it I heard the words that you said, and I want it Bring on the gospel hour with a holy shower To the dead and cold, to the spiritually soiled Waking up the dead, I love it It's like a sweet, it's like a sweet perfume It's like a sweet, it's like a sweet perfume Waking up the dead...I want it I read the words that you said, and I want it Bring on the gospel hour with a holy shower To the dead and cold, to the spiritually soiled Waking up the dead, I love it It's like a sweet, it's like a sweet perfume It's like a sweet, it's likе a sweet perfume Waking up the dеad...

The sands of time are falling The colors are starting to fade I still am not a rich man like I told you I would be Through it all, you still believe Through it all, you still smile I would leave in the name of love Let the road become my only one You would let me live You would die You took my abuse when I shouldn't been left You became my sanity when my mind had went If there had been any with a Christ-like spirit It was you for me Forgiveness flowed when I'd do you wrong How I wish I could undo it all But through it all, you still smile Well, I still don't have much money But we've never been any better I guess what you said 10 years ago is true That our love will last forever When the day has overcome me And we haven't seen light for awhile Promise me one thing That through it all, you'll still smile

(Based on Psalm 84:5-7) There is a way that leads to life The few that find it never die Past mountain peaks graced white with snow The way grows brighter as it goes There is a road inside of you Inside of me there is one too No stumbling pilgrim in the dark The road to Zion's in your heart The road to Zion's in your heart The river runs beside the road Its waters living as they flow In liquid voice the water calls On thirsty knees the pilgrim falls There is a road inside of you Inside of me there is one too No stumbling pilgrim in the dark The road to Zion's in your heart The road to Zion's in your heart Sometimes a shadow dark and cold Lays like a mist across the road But be encouraged by the sight Where there's a shadow, there's a light There is a road inside of you Inside of me there is one too No stumbling pilgrim in the dark The road to Zion's in your heart The road to Zion's in your heart Sometimes it's good to look back down We've come so far, we've gained such ground But joy is not in where we've been Joy is who's waiting at the end There is a road inside of you Inside of me there is one too No stumbling pilgrim in the dark The road to Zion's in your heart No stumbling pilgrim in the dark The road to Zion's in your heart The road to Zion's in your heart The road to Zion's in your heart

I beat the dead; they don't fight back They have no need, they have no lack They bear the marks of my attack I beat the dead; they don't react Call me fiend, or call me foul Throw me to the dogs that bite and howl Before you point a finger or cry an empty tear Buy yourself an alibi, get yourself a mirror I rob the poor; they don't mind I take whatever I happen to find; it's never much at any one time I rob the poor; it's not a crime Call me fiend, or call me foul Throw me to the dogs that bite and howl Before you point a finger or cry an empty tear Better get yourself a alibi, buy yourself a mirror I beat the dead I beat the dead I kill the children before they're born, as their little feet begin to form Don't buy them shoes; they won't get worn I kill the children; I am not scorned Call me fiend, or call me foul Throw me to the dogs that bite and howl Before you point a finger or cry an empty tear Buy yourself an alibi, get yourself a mirror I beat the dead I beat the dead

I thought of you the other day Remembered love, and how it fades away Like a child's breath on a window pane To touch the face I loved, one again Do you think of me? Do you think of me? I felt the sadness that fell like rain A shattered dream that still remains Locked away with all my tears Washed away by all my tears So long ago; do you wonder what could have been? Will you tell your friends you knew me when...? Do you think of me?... Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, Lie, lie, lie, good-bye Do you think of me? Do you think of me?

Here comes the bride All dressed in white Is said "I do" Do to marry you You said you'd carry a slob like me You said you'd marry a slob like me You said you'd carry a slob like me You said you'd marry a slob like me Bride in black Bride in black (lover) (marry me...)

God gave Jesus a revelation And the Lord sent His angel to John The faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead The ruler of the kings of all the earth The one who loves us and has freed us from our sins His blood has washed clean and now He's coming So shall it be, Amen Seven: the number of churches Seven: the number of spirits Seven: the number of lamp stands made of gold Stars and seals, the number of horns The number of eyes lookin' at you: Seven... seven The number of the crowns The number of plagues The number of bowls made of gold Trumpets, how many trumpets How much thunder, and how many signs?: Seven... seven God gave Jesus a revelation And the Lord sent His angel to John God gave Jesus a revelation And the Lord sent His angel to John

You have started the journey So don't turn back, don't turn back The road is oh so long But who said you are alone So don't depend on your feelings They will lead you astray Your life is tied up with Jesus Just follow him in the way Pilgrim, journey on Don't take your hand from the plough Don't stray from the path Beware of distractions And you will make it at last The time is late for the harvest And the workers are few Though the task is demanding God's depending on you Ploughman, keep pushing on Be true not only in big things But in the small things as well These small things will grow to big things The final "well done" will tell Let him control all your thinking All you say, all you do His life is free for the taking Let him live through you You're a servant of the most high king You're name is Christian Do you live as a Christian should live?

Children tremble Flowers fade so sadly Love is strange to understand Winter winds blow Does the truth sting badly? Let your tears fall into my hands Let your tears fall into my hands Listen closely And I will sing for you A sentimental song And you will know just how I feel Listen closely I will sing for you A sentimental song Hide with me tonight Love endures the weather Let the rain make everything new In the morning We will dance together Let my song fall down around you Let my song fall down around you Listen closely And I will sing for you A sentimental song And you will know just how I feel Listen closely I will sing for you A sentimental song And you will know my love is real Listen closely And I will sing for you A sentimental song And you will know my heart is true Listen closely I will sing for you A sentimental song And you will know how I love you

Suddenly we need more time Hypocrisy and liars Hypocrisy and pain You think the problem's solved And it's coming round again Distorted, blackened flowers Distorted, they're no gift Wrecking any beauty Watch the needle shift into the red society Red society... Suddenly we're out of time Hypocrisy and liars Hypocrisy and pain You think the problem's solved And it's coming round again Distorted, blackened flowers Distorted, they're no gift Wrecking any beauty Watch the needle shift Society is crumbling Society in red Society is crumbling And it's falling on your head If you think you can solve it And turn the light to green Go ahead and make my day Show me what you mean Red society... Suddenly we're out of time Suddenly we need more time Red society...

Embrace the mystery Unlearn, unknow Pray for serenity You're not in control Go higher go deeper Surrender, let go The laughter of heaven Echoes in your soul The crow, the fox, the flower God knows each one How dare the wolf devour Beloved sons Walk in humility We all fall down Love is infinity Right here, right now Go higher go deeper Surrender, let go The laughter of heaven Echoes in your soul Body, heart and mind Transformation in a new world of time Inspiration, water, fire and wind Revelation from without and within Revelation, inspiration, transformation Go higher go deeper Surrender, let go The laughter of heaven Echoes in your soul

I was once blinded by Satan I had no friend I was a prisoner of these Of these four walls that surround me But then I heard him A voice calling me My answer to all My friend, you know the answer But will you heed the call I know you want to reach out and touch Him But He can't answer if you don't ask at all Do you hear Him He's calling out to you Do you hear Jesus calling? He's calling you

about

this record is comprised of tracks by various artists that have inspired the existence of leper. without them there would be no leper. and of course there are so many others that could have been done but most of them i could not have done justice to. perhaps someday that will just have to be a vol. 2

this recording is meant to sound home-made and is my way of saying thanx

about

Leper Chicago

Hundreds of years ago, Leper emerged from the cold clay of a long-forgotten grave in a forested fog somewhere between Skotland and Sveden. The pulsating rhythm from within the tomb still in the chest, the now-breathing creature –reanimated, stunned, staring down – remembers.... how a lifeless wretch lives again. ... more
