It's been a year Since the breakdown That produced pure fear And my brain had drowned I lost sight of what was sound And everything was a crown Paralyzed to the side Sterilized to the fight But hope had abound Through the flames And the ashes and stains I had the strength to turn the page Shattered was the blame Tattered was the shame I escaped through the fire Through His holy name

Redemption is calling my, calling my Name, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Redemption is calling my, calling my Name, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah With every flip of the switch And adventure into sin You paid the price for me So I'll be at your feet You shoulder the burdens And tore away the curtain When there was only decay You made a way Redemption is calling my, calling my Name, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Redemption is calling my, calling my Name, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And every inch of myself Throws itself towards hell And the clock strikes at twelve There's doom for all it spells But then I find I'm exempt In spite of all that I meant There's only one defense And it's everything that I've dreamt With every flip of the switch And adventure into sin You paid the price for me So I'll be at your feet You shoulder the burdens And tore away the curtain When there was only decay You made a way Redemption is calling my, calling my Name, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Redemption is calling my, calling my Name, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Our bodies crumbling While our siblings are stumbling And our minds are tumbling Through the madness we want to be Oh Lord, I can see it now From the seas to our towns Our hands and feet are bound Oh Lord, I can feel it now What a world we live in We traded truth for a prison Oh Lord, I can see it now From the seas to our towns Our hands and feet are bound Oh Lord, I can feel it now What a world we live in We traded truth for a prison The fate that was bound Our first parents drowned From the fill of their cup For a perishable crown Oh Lord, I can see it now From the seas to our towns Our hands and feet are bound Oh Lord, I can feel it now What a world we live in We traded truth for a prison
6.	Dirge 03:53	lyrics	buy track
These shifting chemicals Are blaring sentinals The pain is sensual And life's not sensible Causality is the enemy How are we blind to your clemency Unsettlement is developing The rage inside, it envelopes me I'll take the step Just hold my hand Guide me through The darkest land Guide me through The darkest land Causality is the enemy How are we blind to your clemency Unsettlement is developing The rage inside, it envelopes me I'll take the step Just hold my hand Guide me through The darkest land I'll take the step Just hold my hand Guide me through The darkest land (Matthew 11:17) We played wedding songs But you did not dance We sang a dirge But you did not mourn Guide me through The darkest land Guide me through The darkest land I'll take the step Just hold my hand Guide me through The darkest land I'll take the step Just hold my hand Guide me through The darkest land
7.	Deliverance 03:54	lyrics	buy track
Walking around in circles It's hard to see a straight line But I've found a refuge and a fortress And He can claim me as His own Oh my brothers Oh my sisters (He's prepared for you a home) Oh my brothers Oh my sisters (He's prepared for you a home) Oh my brothers Oh my sisters (He's prepared for you a home) Drawing near, silenced fear He'll wipe the tears of old This suffering He'll bless We are not alone You won't walk through this valley alone I can almost ensure it I can almost ensure it Oh my brothers Oh my sisters (He's prepared for you a home) Oh my brothers Oh my sisters (He's prepared for you a home) Oh my brothers Oh my sisters (He's prepared for you a home) There's deliverance and I've found it! I've finally found peace I've finally found it Oh, I love this gift! You won't walk through this valley alone I can almost ensure it I can almost ensure it Oh my brothers Oh my sisters (He's prepared for you a home) Oh my brothers Oh my sisters (He's prepared for you a home) Oh my brothers Oh my sisters (He's prepared for you a home)

about

'Anexikakos' - Biblical Greek for 'enduring evil.'

"Anexikakos" is the first full-length EP from Revenira, a band founded by Ryan Kopka (Rydavik / Neon Discharge / Iona Coast). Revenira originally aimed to demolish the boundaries between the concepts of a band and a DJ by making a fusion of alternative rock and traditional progressive trance. Currently, with "Anexikakos", the band's thesis is that of marrying the genres of electronic, industrial, and metalcore in a fluid manner.
