Mysterion Mixtapes: Needs To Be Said

Worry About Your Own Self

Verse 1

You’re drawing blueprints for a stranger’s dreams

Walking the lines where another man deems

I know you mean well, but here’s the truth I tell

You’ll see your own road clearer if you walk it well

Chorus

I don’t need no trouble, don’t need no help

I’m playing my own game, I’m playing stealth

So turn your gaze back where your shadow fell

Worry about your own self

Verse 2

From voices in the distance to whispers close by

Everyone’s got a map they think I should try

I’ll take my compass, you keep yours near

We’ll both find our way if we steer from here

Chorus

I don’t need no trouble, don’t need no help

I’m playing my own game, I’m playing stealth

So turn your gaze back where your shadow fell

Worry about your own self

Bridge

We’ve all got battles we’re born to cross

Carrying our share of the weight and the loss

You watch your own, and I’ll watch mine

That’s how we keep this whole thing fine

Final Chorus

I don’t need no trouble, don’t need no help

I’m playing my own game, I’m playing stealth

So turn your gaze back where your shadow fell

Worry about your own self

Needs To Be Said

Verse 1

Voices drown beneath the crowd,

Silence serves to hide the sound.

The echo’s strong on the other side,

The truth gets lost if we all just hide.

I won’t bow down, I won’t play along,

Even if the price is being told I’m wrong.

Chorus

It needs to be spoken, it needs to be heard,

One strong word can shake the world.

Equilibrium’s a fragile thread,

It breaks apart when the truth’s unsaid.

Even if I’m left out, even if I’m banned,

I’ll plant my flag, I’ll make my stand.

‘Cause it needs to be sung, needs to be said.

Verse 2

Go ahead, plant your words out on the lawn,

Cardboard fades, the truth lives on.

You post your sign, I’ll sing my song,

The quiet voice still carries strong.

Verse 3

Your voice may get lifted, it’s amplified,

It gets echoed loud through the countryside.

I’ll sing my truth, I won’t back down,

A steady song can shake the ground.

Bridge

One voice leads and another replies,

Together we rise where the silence dies.

Final Chorus

It needs to be spoken, it needs to be heard,

One strong word can shake the world.

Equilibrium’s a fragile thread,

It breaks apart when the truth’s unsaid.

Even if I’m cast out, even if I’m bled,

The truth don’t die, it just waits ahead.

‘Cause it needs to be sung, needs to be said.

Outro

It needs to be said,

Needs to be said.

Scripture and Steel

Verse 1

It ain’t old-fashioned to hold our ways,

Our roots run deep in freedom’s praise.

By higher plan and iron hands,

It was faith and fire that shaped this land.

Chorus

Scripture and steel—our backbone, our shield,

Truth we believe and a strength that won’t yield.

We bend, we break, we rise, we heal—

This land was forged in scripture and steel.

In God we trust, only for Him we kneel—

And stand our ground with scripture and steel.

Verse 2

It ain’t fear or hate that makes us thrive,

We built this land with truth alive.

We rang that bell, we lit that flame,

We staked our claim in freedom’s name.

Not just to worship, but to defend—

With a Bible in one hand and steel at our side.

Chorus

Scripture and steel—our backbone, our shield,

Truth we believe and a strength that won’t yield.

We bend, we break, we rise, we heal—

This land was forged in scripture and steel.

In God we trust, only for Him we kneel—

And stand our ground with scripture and steel.

Bridge

We’re forged by scripture, backed by steel,

This land was built with grit and zeal.

We keep our faith and guard what’s ours—

With holy words and iron powers.

Chorus – Final

Scripture and steel—our backbone, our shield,

Truth we believe and a strength that won’t yield.

We bend, we break, we rise, we heal—

This land was forged in scripture and steel.

In God we trust, only for Him we kneel—

And stand our ground with scripture and steel.

Spoken Outro

One hand on the Bible, one steady on steel.

This land still stands… on Scripture and Steel.

Only One

Chorus

Don’t build your hope on a nameplate throne,

There’s only One who’s truly known.

Love your stars and stripes, but hold this true—

Don’t pledge your soul to the red or the blue.

Kings rise and fall, rulers spin and lie—

The Rock of Ages will never die.

Verse 1

They speak with fire and smile with grace,

They promise change and take their place.

Flesh and bone were never meant

To bear the weight of your content.

The lion roars, the serpent schemes,

Truth is more than party dreams.

So don’t crown a leader with eternal reign—

When the Rock of Christ breaks every chain.

Verse 2

Some lead with charm, some rule by fear,

Some preach control in freedom’s ear.

They build their kingdoms on shifting sand,

And sign the laws with a trembling hand.

The storm will come, the flood will rise—

No flag can hold back heaven’s skies.

So don’t build on a figure, no matter how grand—

The voice may soothe, but the justice is sand.

Verse 3

I don’t need a stage or a waving sign,

I need the Spirit’s breath and the Word divine.

No ballot box can save my soul,

It’s blood and grace that makes me whole.

So I cling to my faith, not a face on the news—

The Rock don’t shift with political views.

They offer the world, but their crowns are dust—

Only One is worthy of my trust.

Bridge

They bleed, they break, they fail, they spin,

Don’t hand your soul to the suits in sin.

Just humans with power and charm—

They can’t save you from the coming harm.

Chorus

Don’t build your hope on a nameplate throne,

There’s only One who’s truly known.

Love your stars and stripes, but hold this true—

Don’t pledge your soul to the red or the blue.

Kings rise and fall, rulers spin and lie—

The Rock of Ages will never die.

Second Chance for Second Chances

Verse 1

They served their time — they walk that mile.

Bars behind them — the world’s still on trial.

Paid the debt — but the chains remain.

Doors still locked by another name.

We talk of mercy — though the mercy feels thin.

The verses remind us — it’s not us versus them.

Still I hear a whisper — soft as His hand.

Grace says rise — and walk this land.

Chorus

There’s a second chance for second chances,

Hope still sings though the night advances.

Love breaks walls — it rewrites stances,

At the cross we all find second chances.

Verse 2

Applications tossed — in the waste.

Mistakes remembered — grace misplaced.

A life turned ‘round — should not be ignored.

The lost can return — the broken restored.

Every scar tells a story — but it don’t define.

The verses remind us — it’s not us versus them.

Through the ashes — through the pain,

New beginnings rise again.

Chorus

There’s a second chance for second chances,

Hope still sings though the night advances.

Love breaks walls — it rewrites stances,

At the cross we all find second chances.

Bridge

Not who we were — who we’ll be.

Chains fall down — captives free.

Justice served — mercy reigns.

Through His blood — a brand new name.

Outro

There’s a second chance for second chances,

The doors swing wide — the broken dances.

Through Christ alone — the heart enhances,

Life begins again… with second chances.

Real Masculinity

Intro

“Mmm… yeah, they call it toxic… but the truth is plain to see…”

Verse 1

God formed the man from the dust of the ground,

Told him to guard it, to work it, stand proud.

They call it toxic, but truth’s plain to see,

What the world needs is Real Masculinity.

Chorus

They’ll call it harsh, they’ll call it wrong,

But truth’s been steady, all along.

In Christ we rise, in Him we’re free,

He said, live abundantly — be all you can be.

It’s strength with love, it’s necessary,

What the world needs is Real Masculinity!

Verse 2

The world wants the fire but not the flame,

Wants men to be silent, to shoulder the blame.

But sons of the Word don’t bow to the trend,

We fight for our families, we’ll stand to the end.

Bridge

It’s not about force, not power misused,

It’s serving with honor, it’s dying to choose.

Like Christ with the cross, the weight that He bore,

That’s manhood redeemed—couldn’t be more.

Chorus

They’ll call it harsh, they’ll call it wrong,

But truth’s been steady, all along.

In Christ we rise, in Him we’re free,

He said, live abundantly — be all you can be.

It’s strength with love, it’s necessary,

What the world needs is Real Masculinity!

Real Masculinity!

We All Bleed Red

Verse 1

We don’t all talk the same,

Don’t all dance to the same old name.

Some chase wealth, some plant seeds,

Some chase wants, some chase needs.

When we laugh, we laugh the same,

And when we cry, it’s love we aim

We got different faces, and paths we tread—

But underneath, we all bleed red.

Chorus

We all break down,

We all need love,

When our world falls down.

We all get lost, we all get found—

A little less fight, a little more sound.

So don’t draw lines in your head,

We all bleed red.

Verse 2

We might see strong, might see scared,

We might see tough, or see it all bared

Let’s stop the pride, the push, the shove,

We were built for grace and made for love.

Your pain ain’t less just ’cause it’s not mine,

We both been bruised in different times.

And your tomorrow might hold my thread—

’Cause in the end, we all bleed red.

Bridge

Talk to me, not over me—

We’re both human, can’t you see?

Step in closer, take my hand—

Let’s build a bridge, not draw the land.

Chorus

We all bleed red, we all feel pain,

We all got sunshine, we all got rain.

We all got stories left unsaid—

Our walls will fall when hearts are fed.

So let’s sing louder love instead—

’Cause we all bleed red.

Outro

We are all living under the Good Lord’s sky

No matter our color, we live and we die

We’re breath and blood

We’re heart and head

We’re all one race

In our human race

And we all bleed red,

And we all bleed red.

Boss Man No More

Verse 1

Once you rode shotgun with the working man’s pain,

Now you’re out of touch in your gilded domain.

The road you travel’s gone polished and clean,

No more dirty hands in your American dream.

Verse 2

You sang of the furnace, the fire, the pain,

Thought your chorus would carry his name.

But he said another man spoke what he knew—

Your message got trumped, and he left you.

Chorus

Boss Man, no more—

Your tune don’t ring like it did before.

So take that song you always sung,

Get in the car and run, man, run.

Boss Man, no more—

Hit the highway, close the door.

Verse 3

Say you’re a renegade from your high-up place,

But you sit with a man who forgets half the race.

The rebels you sang owe you no loyalty,

While you preach from the throne with false royalty.

Verse 4

You called your old fans fearful, angry, small,

But the folks you once lifted still bleed through it all.

You lost your way, while we kept our path—

We still live in our America, holding fast.

Chorus

Boss Man, no more—

Your tune don’t ring like it did before.

So take that song you always sung,

Get in the car and run, man, run.

Boss Man, no more—

Hit the highway, close the door.

Verse 5

Then you stood in a chapel, paid to preach on the screen,

Preached unity loud, but you picked your team.

Half the country tuned out, they knew the score—

Get some self-awareness, Boss, it ain’t like before.

Verse 6

The engine’s still idling, but the heart ran cold,

You traded the workers for power and gold.

Now you preach from a stage built on vanity,

A billionaire’s throne, far from reality.

Bridge

We didn’t leave you, you cashed in the trust,

You left us, Boss Man—left us in the rust.

You’re lost in the spotlight, a prisoner of praise,

No more glory in those glory days.

Chorus

Boss Man, no more—

Your tune don’t ring like it did before.

So take that song you always sung,

Get in the car and run, man, run.

Boss Man, no more—

Hit the highway, close the door.

Johnny Bravo

Verse 1

They were lookin’ for style, not depth or grit,

Found a pretty boy who had the fit.

Didn’t write the tune, didn’t walk the line,

He took the stage and had that shine.

Verse 2

They put him on stage, let the cameras roll,

He struck the pose, but he had no soul.

He wanted the role, and they liked the show,

Just had the façade, not the depth below.

Chorus

No roots, no truth, just a packaged glow—

He fit the jacket. He was just a Johnny Bravo.

The steps were light and the soul was hollow.

He fit the jacket. He was just a Johnny Bravo.

Verse 3

He never swung a hammer, never broke a sweat,

Gave him a story, hadn’t lived one yet.

Never laid a beam, never touched the grind,

But he knew the beats and he hit each line.

Verse 4

His rise was organized, he played the part,

A casted role with a plastic heart.

Echoes cheered, but nothing grew—

A borrowed act in a tailored view.

Chorus

No roots, no truth, just a packaged glow—

He fit the jacket. He was just a Johnny Bravo.

The steps were light and the soul was hollow.

He fit the jacket. He was just a Johnny Bravo.

Verse 5

He mouthed the lines while the speakers played,

A dubbed performance the crowd obeyed.

The steps were light and the soul was hollow.

He fit the jacket. He was just a Johnny Bravo.

Verse 6

They fit him a jacket, gave him the light,

He smiled just right and stood upright.

Put him on stage, showed him the words he spoke—

A kingdom of mirrors, a crown made of smoke.

Chorus

No roots, no truth, just a packaged glow—

He fit the jacket. He was just a Johnny Bravo.

The steps were light and the soul was hollow.

He fit the jacket. He was just a Johnny Bravo.

He was just a Johnny Bravo.

Johnny Bravo.

Only In God We Trust

Verse 1

They banned the drink, then sold it back,

Tax on your soul, money in their sack.

Scratch-off dreams at the corner store,

You lose, they win, they just want more.

Chorus

They take your buck, they call it just,

They feed on greed, they feed on lust.

Don’t trust the law, the law’s corrupt—

Only in God we trust.

Verse 2

They lit the weed, said it sets you free,

But freedom’s a tax receipt to me.

Soldiers play slots on foreign ground—

The house takes all—the brass stands proud.

Chorus

They take your buck, they call it just,

They feed on greed, they feed on lust.

Don’t trust the law, the law’s corrupt—

Only in God we trust.

Bridge

Wolves in suits write crooked deals,

Call it progress, but it only steals.

Final Verse

Their hands are dirty, their pockets deep,

They buy your pain, they sell your sleep.

The house will burn, the truth won’t rust—

It’s God alone we trust.

Final Chorus

They take your buck, they call it just,

They feed on greed, they feed on lust.

The house will fall, their lies to dust—

It’s God alone we trust.

Our Backbone Is Here

Verse 1

Our forefathers never outsourced the ground.

They laid the rock. They built what they found.

With their own backs, with their own hands,

They carved this nation from dirt and plans.

Like scripture says, build on the rock,

Not shifting sand, not another man’s stock.

Chorus

It’s time to build. It’s time to fight.

Take back the day. Take back the night.

Outsource no more. Stand up and say,

Our backbone is here, made in the U.S.A.

Verse 2

Failure to build, desire got lost,

Factories gone, our strength the cost.

Outsourced our soul for a price-cut deal,

The working man pays — his pain is real.

Chorus

It’s time to build. It’s time to fight.

Take back the day. Take back the night.

Outsource no more. Stand up and say,

Our backbone is here, made in the U.S.A.

Verse 3

We can’t stand still, we’ve got to press on,

A nation must build or a nation is gone.

The Good Book says the worker earns his way,

Hard work gives pride and it carries the day.

Rise up in labor, the call is divine,

The future we build is by God’s design.

Bridge / Shout

It’s time to build. It’s time to fight.

Take back the day. Take back the night.

No more delay, the call is clear—

America builds, and we build here!

Final Chorus

It’s time to build. It’s time to fight.

Take back the day. Take back the night.

Everyone Is Loved

Verse 1

We don’t have to see it the same,

I’ll still shake your hand, call your name.

We fight our fights, but we rise above,

We stand on this truth—everyone is loved.

Chorus

Raise your glass, raise it high,

Doesn’t matter if we see eye to eye.

Through the fire, the fight, the push, the shove—

EVERYONE IS LOVED!

At the end of the night, everyone is loved.

Verse 2

I can’t be at every show,

Sometimes I just gotta go.

But when the lights dim down and stars shine above,

Hear my words ring out—everyone is loved.

Chorus

Raise your glass, raise it high,

Doesn’t matter if we see eye to eye.

Through the fire, the fight, the push, the shove—

EVERYONE IS LOVED!

At the end of the night, everyone is loved.

Verse 3

Sometimes I turn and take another way,

Chasing down the break of a brand new day.

No hard feelings, just the sky above,

I’ll leave you these words—everyone is loved.

Chorus

Raise your glass, raise it high,

Doesn’t matter if we see eye to eye.

Through the fire, the fight, the push, the shove—

EVERYONE IS LOVED!

At the end of the night, everyone is loved.

Bridge

Shout it loud, from the stage to the street,

Love’s the drum, and it’s keepin’ the beat.

Doesn’t matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done,

We’re under one roof, singin’ as one.

Chorus

Raise your glass, raise it high,

Doesn’t matter if we see eye to eye.

Through the fire, the fight, the push, the shove—

EVERYONE IS LOVED!

At the end of the night, everyone is loved.

EVERYONE IS LOVED!
