#79: In Christ - Living Sacrifice

In Christ
Living Sacrifice

Genre: Death Metal

Note: This was previously a transcription project. The real lyrics are found at top, but I figured I'd leave the attempted transcription up to show where we were wrong. Since so many people contributed, I thought it would be respectful. The lyrics were posted on BandsOnFire.
Thanks to Hunter, Kris, Fighting on my knees, and all the anonymous contributors



Birthright by the hand of God. I am he, chosen and called.
I have answered and understand. The gift of God has been given by his Son.

I am in Christ, the Son of God. I am in Christ, no longer condemned.
I am in Christ, the Son of God. I am in Christ, resurrected.

Who can be against me, who can compromise?
The power of He is resting, I will glorify.

Laid bare, before your eyes. It can only come this way.
The price is paid, by His blood. All I ask is who am I?

I am in Christ, the Son of God. I am in Christ, no longer condemned.
I am in Christ, the Son of God. I am in Christ, resurrected. (resurrected, resurrected)

The right to live, the right to breathe. The right to be and to believe.
God has come, the time has come to take hold of the promise, of the promise, of the promise.
The time has come to take hold of the Blood, of the Blood, of the Blood, of the Blood...





Old Transcription:
Blood brought (/Put forth?) as an act of God (/by the hand of God?)
I am healed and chosen to go
I have answered and joined the stand
The gift of God has been given by His Son

I am in Christ, the son of God
I am in Christ, no longer condemned
I am in Christ, the son of God
I am in Christ
Resurrected

Who can be against me?
Who can compromise
The power of He is resting
It will glorify

Unveiled before your eyes
I can only talk this way
The price is paid
By His blood
All I ask, is who am I?

I am in Christ, the son of God
I am in Christ, no longer condemned
I am in Christ, the son of God
I am in Christ
Resurrected

The lord to heal
The lord to breathe
The lord to be and to pity
God has come (/Cornerstone?)
The time has come
So take hold of the promise
[Of/You're?] the promise

The time has come
So take hold
Of the Blood

#78: Distorted - Living Sacrifice

Distorted
Living Sacrifice

Genre: Death Metal



Distorted reality
Truth behind, not to see
Focus of life means twisting negative
Draining deeper fears by a quest to live
Suffering down perpetual destruction
Pulling ties of morbid inspiration
Confession of words, life or death is heard
Not demanding any believe, consequence received
Spoken words, subtract belief
Enter minds, producing feelings of grief
Exaggerated expression regarded as vain
Unjust illusions of severe pain
Surrounding the faithless
Who dwell hopeless
Confession of words, life or death is heard
Not demanding any believe, consequence received
Demolish, dark imagination
Satan's demise, eternal realization
The keys of hell and death, in Christ's hands are held
The wickedness that opposed, have forever failed

#77: The Way You Dance - Blindside

The Way You Dance
Blindside

Genre: Rock



Softly like a touch of a dark angel
Her hand in yours
You're dressed to kill
Can she tell

Swing your partner to the right
Swing your partner to the left
Swing your partner to the right
It scares me, the way you dance
She looks pretty
Hair glittering with confetti
How does it feel man
Hold steady
Is she ready
Does she like it dancing on the broken glass

Watching you from across the room
One hand on the waist while the other, knuckles turning white
Are you holding on for dear life or does she not know how to let go

Swing your partner to the right
Swing your partner to the left
Swing your partner to the right
It scares me, the way you dance
She looks pretty
Hair glittering with confetti
How does it feel man
Hold steady
Is she ready
Does she like it dancing on the broken glass

I see you're wearing your shoes
Where are hers
And see I'm wearing my shoes

I don't want to but in this square dance
Everybody has to dance
Everybody dance now

Swing your partner to the right
Swing your partner to the left
Swing your partner to the right
It scares me, the way you dance
She looks pretty
Hair glittering with confetti
How does it feel man
Hold steady
Is she ready
Does she like it dancing on her broken dreams

#76: Eye of the Storm - Blindside

Eye of the Storm
Blindside

Genre: Rock



I think I've stayed for the last time, goodbye
Hope is so much closer to beauty than sorrow
I think I'll leave and leave self pity to die
Reflection is always brighter than shadow

Please come closer
Cause I don't even touch you anymore
Please see I'm walking in to the eye of the storm
And I'll still come out loving you even more

Love is in the air tonight
So just breathe

You made sure the atmosphere was thick tonight
So this is where it begins and where it ends
With a crack in a dark sky piercing light

Please come closer
Cause my heart doesn't touch yours anymore
Please see I'm walking into the eye of the storm
And I'll still come out loving you even more

Love is in the air tonight so just breathe
Breathe my spirit breathe
Love is in the air tonight so just breathe
Breathe my spirit breathe

leave, leave now and don't look back
leave, leave now and don't you look back

Please come closer
Cause I don't even touch you anymore

Please see I'm walking in to the eye of the storm
And I'll still come out loving you even more

Please come closer
Cause my heart doesn't touch yours anymore

Please see I'm walking in to the eye of the storm
And I'll still come out loving you even more

#75: Pitiful - Blindside

Pitiful
Blindside

Genre: Hard Rock



As I recall with my stomach turning
I was hiding away from myself, away from you
Like nothing, though something was terribly wrong
And I admit that I was only waiting for the right time
Night time, the right moment for you to look away
Though you never did, I pretended for a while
So I could walk where I dont belong

And I remember every word you said
Come back in time, come back
And I remember I would soon be dead
Now so pitiful, so pitiful

But I know, as I hammered those nails into your beautiful hands
Your eyes still try to search for mine, but I look away
Now your eyes are the only thing that can save me
Im still so afraid of them piercing
Youre breaking into my prison,
Just pretended for a while
My soul is dying
I wont look away

And I remember every word you said...

Ill remember every word you said
This time I wont look away

#74: Sleepwalking - Blindside

Sleepwalking
Blindside

Genre: Hard Rock



Words so secure screaming like an alarm
Are you trying to wake me up?
Now what was that you were trying to pull?
Is it my arm?
I do believe you're trying to wake me up

But could it be, maybe?
It's not me sleeping
Could it be, maybe?
You awakening

But could it be, maybe?
It's not me sleeping
Could it be, maybe?
You awakening

Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk in the light
Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk out of sight

Now here I am, but I'm just sleepwalking
Yes, here I stand
But I guess I'm just sleeptalking for myself

But could it be, maybe?
It's not me sleeping
Could it be, maybe?
You awakening

But could it be, maybe?
It's not me sleeping
Could it be, maybe?
You awakening

Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk in the light
Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk out of sight

Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk in the light
Sleep this time tonight

One day,
This world will see me at the horizon
One day,
From a distant light
And just before I stand, to face my love
I'll turn around
And with a smile I'll say my goodbyes
Just one last goodbye
Goodbye... (x3)

Sleepwalk in the light
Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk out of sight

Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk in the light
Sleep this time tonight

One day... (x6)
