#92: Ignite - Living Sacrirfice
Comment: This is quite possibly my favorite song on this album; it's incredibly powerful, and it's awesome at the same time. It's hard to describe good music in words, so I must instead ask everyone to go out and either buy Conceived in Fire (the album the song is on), or get on iTunes or a similar service and purchase Ignite. It's worth the investment either way.
Flicker inside
I've seen the end my friend
Cannot continue in this life
Abide in the promises told
Abide in the promises proven
Abide in the promises told
Abide in
Fan the spark of hope
All is not lost here
I saw the outcome once before
So distant it seems so long ago
He's still alive
Intercession so strong
Fan the flame
So close now
Awaken the strength
Internal
Write it down
Make it plain
I saw the end once before
You were there with your heart in your hand outstretched
Shedding this darkness
With every glance to the sky
This fire is revealing these walls
Hear twisting
Turning
Faithful
Sleepless
Faithful
But now I can feel
But now I can taste the air of freedom
Ripping through moving walls
Ripping down this structure
The air of freedom ripping through me
Write it down
Make it plain
I saw the end once before
You were there with your heart in your hand outstretched
Shedding this darkness
With every glance to the sky
This fire is revealing
#91: Separation - Living Sacrifice
Separation
Disfigured
Bloodless exit
Soul embrace
Soul embalmed with pain
Burning Existence
Eternally separated
Savior lost
Heaven lost
Tortured within
What could have been
Separation
This life after
In death
One breath
Could it be this darkness is a product of my design
My choice of self over God
I took what's mine
I denied
Denied
Father of lies burn with your legion
Suffer inside eternal abyss
God has
Terminate my soul
The committed
I want to dwell within Your embrace
I had a dream of this reality
My decision to live by my means
I took what's mine
Never regret
Until now
Until now
Separation from the Love I took for granted
Separation from the Love revealed to me

#90: Conditional - Living Sacrifice
Fighting lapse of me
Conditioned thought, potency
Lifeforce, extraction, nothing is not there
Precious wasted, killed and tested
To be what they want me to be is not inside me
Seething, loathing, free to think your way
To be what they want me to be, it's not within me
Lapse of life, conditioned thought
Told me, against me
Nothing is not there
#89: Perfect - Living Sacrifice
Comment: This song gets bonus points for being one of the most different songs on this album, or any Living Sacrifice CD. In my personal opinion, of course, this song is excellent musically and manages to stand very far out from the rest of Living Sacrifice's music. In a way, it's like The Hammering Process' (the album in which Perfect is found) Reach for the Sky, a song recorded for the 2005 album Conceived In Fire. However, it doesn't sound completely out of place, as is the case with Reach for the Sky. While they are both great songs, Perfect fits in better with the rest of Living Sacrifice's music.
Let it take hold
We have perverted, destroyed the truth
Exchanged for a slant or fiction that feeds the part of me
That will become the darkest place of all
One thought, one word spoken
All of this exist unto you
In everything I believe and see that confirms the love
We have perverted, destroyed the truth
Exchanged for a fabrication
The truth that lies within exposed for all to see
Let it take hold
I choose a perfect way
In everything I believe and see that confirms the love
Can I receive this gift, never ceasing?
This hope that lies within, exposed for all to see
#87: Subtle Alliance - Living Sacrifice
All that is
All that’s left behind me
All that once
All that once was tempting
Threatens to
Threatens to haunt me once again
To steal my
To steal my mind
Allied unaware
Allied unaware
On this path
On this path toward hopelessness
Helplessly helpless
Cling to what’s been shown
I missed the chance
I could not control the circumstances
Took a hold
Along the way allied with the enemy
Along the way I missed it
Avoiding all repentance
Along the way I missed it
Becoming selfish
There is only one way out of here
There is only one way out of here
In your presence Jesus
Break away to freedom
Allied unaware
Allied with the enemy
Unaware
Allied with the enemy
Unaware of his dead grasp

Notice: Living Sacrifice Reformed
As some people may know, Living Sacrifice broke up way back in 2003. Two members got back together in 2005 to record the three new songs found in In Memoriam.
I know I'm late in hearing about this, but back in early February, the band announced that it was going to reform. The first task? Record a new album, currently untitled at the writing of this notice, and what else? Go on tour with Demon Hunter. With Demon Hunter. Notice how this is the first time I've written post such as this one. Also notice how Demon Hunter is the band with the most songs on this site, Living Sacrifice being the most frequent band to be posted lately.
You may have guessed that these are my two favorite bands: Living Sacrifice and Demon Hunter. Going on tour. Together. There is no way for me to express, in written words, how excited I am about this. I can just pray that they come somewhere remotely near my location. By remotely near, two or three hours away would count.
I hope this message gets to someone interested. But, knowing the inactivity of this blog, I doubt it. But I thought I'd post anyway.

#86: Imminent War - Living Sacrifice
Unleashed chosen
Unleashed nation
War unleashed
Middle east
Lines are drawn in the sand
2002 chaos reigns in this sacred land
Target Israel forgotten sequel
Wars from the past
Why the hatred of these people
Is coexistence futile?
No such thing as coexist
No such thing as peace process
Exterminate, proclaim you Jihad
Destroy the infidel, dig your own grave
Chosen nation prophesied, the prosperous,
the hated ones, the hand of God
Jerusalem will resurrect
Right to exist
Chosen nation not forsaken
Right to exist
Resurrect
Right to exist
Resurrect
Unleashed
#85: 3X3 We Carried Your Body - Living Sacrifice
Sickly symptoms
Complete full on replete
Dismissed the rest
You threw your life behest
Ruptured mainline
Imbibe
Inflict
In pain
Suicide
You left us all
Self infliction
In pain
Mainline
Destroy
Self-loathe
It did not have to end
It all could have changed
So glamorous
So glamorous
Suffocating
You died on the floor of a bathroom
Ruptured and bloated with your insides destroyed
3x3 we carried your body that day
We put you in the ground
but no one saw the truth because others followed after
You died on the floor of a bathroom
Ruptured and bloated with your insides destroyed
You left us all
Self inflicted you left us all
Self inflicted
Destroyed
#84: Send Your Regrets - Living Sacrifice
Incidental consequences
Growing larger by the second
Things I’ve said
Things I’ve done out of ignorance
I cursed the son
Passive resistance
Passive resistance
Sown in ignorance
If I’d had known the path I took
I could have told the stupid links to past mistakes
Take a flying leap into your fate
I was wrong for thinking I could not prevail
Kept my mouth shut for too long
This is not what I agreed upon
Passive resistance
Passive resistance
Believed the lies I cant repeat this procession of hatred
Defeat
Passive resistance
Passive resistance
