#69: Grand Finale - Demon Hunter

Grand Finale
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metal

You'll find me face down, hands bound,
ready for the blade to make me two
If judgment falls to meet this ground,
that fate will run me through
No day of wrath will see me break
for that faithless breath of shame
When the heretics come to make that list,
be true to speak my name

Leave all you see
The curse of man is dead
The hourglass turned on its head
And every care will fade away
To wake a new day

Take every throe within us all
The very breath inside our soul
We bleed the life into your hold
The very death of our control

No man can bring a fatal sting
And I laugh at the gallows thrall
Just line it tight around my neck
so my words will break that fall

Leave all you see
The curse of man is dead
The hourglass turned on its head
And every care will fade away
To wake a new day

That final day will fall
And those who curse the sky will face the earth
The many turn to one
The God of Gods' own righteous son
Begging for that second birth

#68: The Wrath of God - Demon Hunter

The Wrath of God
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore

Tear at the voice inside
Dig a deeper tomb
and all the self can finally resonate
Tread on the path of pride
You can be the god
and let the faith become your enemy

Breathe redemption into wasted life
Closer, closer
Find the wrath of God inside your eyes
Closer, closer

Breath dee / And as the fear before you falls
I know the pain is so unsettling
Breath deep / So now you've built a thousand walls
But in the end it's all unraveling

Stand with a worthless sign
Wave it in the path
of every face you cannot tolerate

Breathe redemption into wasted life
Closer, closer
Find the wrath of God inside your eyes
Closer, closer

This is the last day that you will regret
Wake from your sleep and never forget
This is the last day that you will regret
Closer, closer

Closer, closer, closer, closer

#67: Fading Away - Demon Hunter

Fading Away
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore

It's in this wake that I find myself
losing the will to resume this Hell
When every breath is a dying wish,
it's harder to follow the point of this

This broken place that I call my home
has deepened the sorrow that I have sown
And I can't erase what is in my heart
I want it to finish before it starts

My own solution insufficient again
No false illusion, this devouring threat
I break the veseel, giving air to its red
And open my fate to the darkened sky

I've been fading away
I've been waiting on the call to reach my veins
Ready or not
No attention to waste
Every sorrow of the soul will read my name
When I cease to exist

So now I've come to the final sleep
I pray that forgiveness is mine to keep
I know it's hard to forget this man
Driving the failure into your hands

My own solution insufficient again
No fake illusion, this devouring threat
I break the vessel, giving air to its red
And open my fate to the darkened sky

#66: Fire To My Soul - Demon Hunter

Fire To My Soul
Demon Hunter
Genre: Metalcore

Note: The following video is fan-made.

We flow with bitter words that file sharp our teeth
And we bite off our own tongues
We trample any trace of Your divinity's hope
And we'll sacrifice our young
With our eyes sewn shut now the light can't shine
Oh, we'll never wake from dead
And when You beg for us to open up and let you in
We'll cut You out instead

You promised you'd give us Your word
We never believed it was true
And we pretend that we never heard
'Cause we still don't believe in You

I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul
Is this the voice we die for?
We die for life

We built a wall to keep You out
Ignoring every word
And we saw yYour face behind our thoughts
Apathetic to what we'd heard

You promised you'd give us Your word
We never believed it was true
And we pretend that we never heard
'Cause we still don't believe in You

I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul
Is this the voice we die for?
We die for life

Why does it falter? We built it all ourselves
Why does it hurt so bad, forsaking all this help?
Why are we choking on pills designed to heal?
We threw our hearts away 'cause we're too afraid to feel

I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul
Is this the voice we die for?
We die for life

#65: Brand New Man - Seventh Day Slumber

Brand New Man
Seventh Day Slumber

Genre: Rock

Note: Yeah, I'm putting in a lot of songs today. It's partially in early celebration of Thanksgiving, and partially because I've been slow on updates lately. Call it what you want.



A morning rainbow fills the sky, I think I’m dead
But I know I’m not dead yet
I’ve been missing You, You’ve been here all along
I guess sometimes I just forget
There was comfort in Your breath
You made me believe that life was worth it

Chorus:
I’m a brand new man. I will never be the same
I’m a brand new man. I will never be the same

I remember the day that I met You. The emptiness I had
Could fill a mountain. And I believed it was true,
My pain would never go away
But there was comfort in Your breath,
You made me believe that life was worth it.

(Chorus)

And I’m not looking back
My past is far behind me, yeah
I’m stronger every day
You’ve made me a brand new man

(Chorus)

#62: Sixteen - Demon Hunter

Sixteen
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore

Sixteen. Oh holy day
Your time has come and passed
The rapture we've been waiting for
has come to us at last
Sixteen for every fake, sixteen to every whore
Wipe that dirt from off your face
Sixteen is at your door

Oh, voiceless, wasted
You soaked your heart in gasoline
Now light it up and burn

The same cycle ever-turning you is calling
It's calling
The scene is begging for a grave tonight
It always, it always will

You take the name of love divine
and drag it through your blood
Now turn to face what you have made
And morn what you have done

Oh, voiceless, wasted
You soaked your heart in gasoline
Now light it up and burn
Voiceless, wasted
I came this far to drag you down
And watch you take your turn

Farewell to false pretension
Farewell to hollow words
Farewell to fake affection
Farewell, tomorrow burns

#61: Incision - Demon Hunter

Incision
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore

Don't leave us
They said that you had gone astray
Don't lead us away from the light

We stood behind the veil
and watched you walk away from us
You shattered all our dreams in one fatal mistake

You fractured every piece of life that we cared about
Remember how you breathed in us new life
and then you took it away
You'll never live that down

I gave you every guiding word to cut it off
Now you hand me back the blade
to make that first incision for you

Wait and see
The weight of life may be the end of me;
The tension, break me

We held you up on high
So why did you abandon us?
We never thought you'd be the one to fall so far

You fractured every piece of life that we cared about
Remember how you breathed in us new life
and then you took it away
You'll never live that down

I gave you every guiding word to cut it off
Now you hand me back the blade
to make that first incision for you

For you

#60: Carry Me Down - Demon Hunter

Carry Me Down
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metal

And if you see me losing ground
don't be afraid to lie
I know the pain inside my heart
can't break the fear inside of yours
And if you see me losing faith
in what it means to die
Don't let me leave before I know
what lies behind the stained glass doors

Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
Bleed every care out

Will you carry me down the aisle that final day
With your tears,
and cold hands, shaking from the weight
When you lower me down beneath sky of gray,
let the rain fall down and wash away your pain

For every word we never spoke
we have a tear to cry
For every silence like a wall
between a better you and I
So if you see me losing sight
of all the death in life
You'll find the peace
in every time I failed to see the death mine

Let all the fear inside you drown
Tear out the blade and lay it down
Save sorrow for the souls in doube
Bleed every care out

Oh, the blood is rushing out
Oh, I'm better off without
Oh, the walls are closing in
Oh, sing for me again

(Rain down, oh rain down, no one care for the flood)

Featured Album #1: Storm the Gates of Hell - Demon Hunter

Demon HunterStorm The Gates Of Hell

Genre: Metalcore/Metal

Released: November 6, 2007

Storm The Gates Of Hell, though different from their prior albums, is still very identifiable to the band. This album, while having more religious undertones, keeps Demon Hunter's ideal of providing all-around good metalcore, ranging from the slower songs (Carry Me Down) to the fast, more hardcore songs (Storm The Gates Of Hell). Alongside this tradition, they keep to providing beautiful vocals in tune perfectly with their intense growling, presenting a unique take on the typical metalcore style. If you aren't into metalcore, however, I have found that there is little hope of taking refuge solely with this band; on the other hand, if you are a fan of metalcore, or simply don't mind the genre, then check out this album. You will thank yourself for it.
