#187: Watch Me Die - Underoath

Underoath

Genre: * Metal

Note: If there's anyone who's heard Underoath's 'new' (post-2000) music, but not anything from their first two albums, be aware that the first two are completely and totally different from all of their other music, and definitely deserve more attention than I believe they are getting.



I lay as this sacrifice to this unholy altar
The evil inside Satan; Satan sit and watch me die
Demented screams, tortured beings, where's your hope,
where's your smile, there was none
Life of lies gone, gone no more
So upset, so distraught, I'm sorry, I'm Sorry... I live for the Lord
Watch me die no longer I am alive
My purpose no more... I live for Christ
Dead to sin, only begin, imagine what's for Soldier of Christ
Changed with a new beginning, blood of the lamb, white washed sins
Forgive me God for all of these years of my transgressions
I cry renewed, I cry renewed
This world means nothing to me
My life changed I now see Crucified with Christ,
the old self left with the rest of this world, rest of this world
Kneel before his throne, home now from this journey
I see my father in his arms finally found
This path I have chosen is hard but I'll make it with my savior's help
I survive this hell 'till the end I'll stand true
Eternal life, ready for the fight that the evil brings
No giving in... I'm free
The fire burns engulfing all the victims in its path, no where to run
Over taken they give in to surrender to the Lord once, and for all
No longer keeping quiet, no longer standing still,
no longer giving in, no longer going back
I stand strong praying for love always to be in my heart

#186: The Serpent's Tongue - The Crimson Armada

The Crimson Armada

Genre: Deathcore



Open your eyes!
In spite of these creations
a venom settles in the blood
with fangs that will not rest til they’ve engulfed everything,
the sky and humans all alike.
Dispersing vile scripture as abundant as the night,
this poison takes but a single drop to thrive.

The vipers waltz in time to slay the conscience back to blind.
Slowly digesting and conspiring with mortal threads.
This evil’s woven firm its lies into our heads.
A single cry will silence all but a single pierce will bring to fall.
Despite all odds we must confront what our deepest fears have presented us.

You’ve got the truth before you and yet your eyes are shut.
How can you speak when the serpent’s got your tongue?
You’ve got the truth before you and yet your eyes are shut.
How can you speak when the serpent’s got your tongue?...

You’ve got the truth before you and yet your eyes are shut.
How can you speak when the serpent’s got your tongue?
You’ve got the truth before you and yet your eyes are shut.
How can you speak when the serpent’s got your tongue?

This clarity can’t be denied but before us stands the initial face of phases.
Our fears will flee, our strength will hide.
This clarity can’t be denied but before us stands the initial face of phases.
This clarity can’t be denied but before us stands the initial face of phases.
Your fears will flee, your strength will hide. Your fears will flee...

Open your eyes. Open your eyes.
The serpent goes by many names and wears many a disguise.
Open your eyes or let this poison slowly seep and consume you whole.
Don’t let the serpent catch your tongue and drown your soul. (Open your eyes)
This blindness is an ailment incurable by any means, but tearing the seams from the eyes to bow down to the King of all mankind.

Behold untainted sight.
The truth is inscribed in the veins under the eyes.
Release from the clutch of the serpentine to behold untainted sight.
You’ve got the truth before you and yet your eyes are shut.
How can you speak when the serpent’s got your tongue?

Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Open your eyes.

#185: Plan 2 - Frost Like Ashes

Frost Like Ashes

Genre: Black Metal

Note: Cover of the Saint song Plan II.



No mercy for the devil no mercy for the foe
The King shall wad him up Throw him away
Then cast him to the rocks of never ending scald
This shall all take place Sure as you hear me say

He will burn the damned He will burn the beast
On that white throne day All will hear the cry
The evil one will die forever shedding tears of pain

Let’s give glory to the King
He conquered death and hell to set His children free
Let’s give glory to the King
He cleansed us from our sins He tasted death for all to see

Disaster it controls the hardened hearts of men
Providing them with pride and despair But He’s the
King of all that lives and that breathes
He’s the Lord of Lords His judgments are all fair

On that final day He’ll rise above the clouds
All will see His wounds and sigh
It’s plain for all to see He is the risen King
He has the keys to death and hell Attached on to His side
He will burn the damned He will burn the beast
On that white throne day All will hear the cry
The evil one will die forever shedding tears of pain

Let’s give glory to the King
He conquered death and hell to set His children free
Let’s give glory to the King
He cleansed us from our sins He tasted death for all to see
Let’s give glory to the King
Now the devil hands are tied and none of us will have to die
Let’s give glory to the King

#184: Pale Shadows - Frost Like Ashes

Frost Like Ashes

Genre: Black Metal

"It is my desire to wage a Spiritual and Ideological War that will see the ultimate victory of the God of the Bible. Pale Shadows is a literary expression of that desire." -Azahel



This, My Prayer

Let
me slit the throats of the sirens
Let me raze the walls of Troy
Let me
grasp Mjollnir
Let me crush the head of Thor

Let me see the Golden Fleece

Hung rusted on its pole
Let me spill the blood of Elizabeth
And down her
own throat pour

Grant me the strength
of the Wooden Stake
Grant me the
strength
of Amulet Senoy

Let me violate Lillith
The whore of filth and
dregs
Cast on her back, submissive
Craver of rancid sperm

Let me ascend
the gates of Valhalla
Slay Valkyries and Einherjar
Drag Odin from its
burning ruins
Again on the tree hang

Grant me the strength
of the
Frostgiants
Grant me the strength
of Fenrir

Mocking Us
Fools to Us

Who's the Strong One now?
Bow to Us
Compared to Us
Shadows on the Sun


Let me be the crusher of Satan
Let me be the one
Who sees him bow his
knee
To You, Lord of Sabaoth

Odin
One eyed drunken fool
Lillith

Demonic filthy whore
Set-Hen
Bound in eternal dark
Lucifer
I laugh as
you're cast down!
Impotent!

Let me be the crusher of Satan
Let me be
the one
Who sees him bow his knee
To You, Lord of Sabaoth

Let me be the
Serpent of Sabaoth
Devouring the spineless Marduk
Baal is only wood and
stone
His canting prophets gone

Let me cause the Baphomet's throne
To
be a place for human waste
Let me castrate the Baphomet
In Phallustine
disgraced

Grant me the strength
of the Lord of Host
Grant me the
strength
of the Holy Ghost

Mocking Us
Fools to Us
Who's the Strong
One now?
Bow to Us
Compared to Us
Shadows on the Sun
