#255: We Are the Archers - Oh, Sleeper

We Are the Archers
Oh, Sleeper

Genre: Metalcore


We watched them fall. Eyes locked to mine,
Feeling as if I had let them down.
Caught blinded by silk, led by lips
To the baited chains.
Now look around regret.
As the axe swings before your eyes,
Think how everyday we spent dreaming.
Never once did we pick up the sword and learn to fight.
Now is the time. Pick yourself up and fight.
Learn to swing. Learn to swing.
They watched me fall for the last time.
But how is such an elegant blade to be stopped?
When in times where eyes set sites
To cross-hair the weak, my bride,
I'll try, oh so hard, to find that Light.
but in his mind she baits me to fire.
What a cunning foe we've met!
Our horizons pushed pages away to a new fight,
A new method, new plan. But how do I train?
How do you ready a child for war?
Oh what a cunning foe we've met!
The Captain, what will He send?
I know He will send, but what will be sent?
I can feel a slip. A buzzard scrapes nearby...
As I, atop this hill, stand and scream,
It's all I can do to control my gaze
From the curiosity of seeing myself as prey.
And then I heard an armored march.
I heard an armored march that shook the trees.
Bows bent as they sang, "We are the archers!"

#254: The Heart of Man - In the Midst of Lions

The Heart of Man
In the Midst of Lions

Genre: Deathcore


The heart of man....

The hearts of men are easily corrupted
and through these eyes you can see the deceiver’s
grip on them all, controlling every thought.
We are lost, with no minds of our own.
This world is where the heart lies.
There is no love in those dead eyes.

Here is the Savior.
Here is the sacrifice.
Here is the Savior.
Here is the sacrifice.

An undeserving love
for an undeserving heart... an undeserving heart.
And from the overflow the mouth is speaking lies
and leading all who hear to their demise.
And from the overflow the mouth is speaking lies
and leading all who hear to their demise.
Fight the darkness. Fight the darkness.

Wake up. Seek the Truth.
Wake up. Seek the Truth....
The hearts of men. The hearts of men.

#253: The Adegan System - The Gun Show

The Adegan System
The Gun Show

Genre: Deathcore


My time ill spent
So much wasted on the thought of, so much wasted on the thought of you.
So much wasted on this physical attraction
this filth that plagues my sight a deep asphyxiation from flesh and blood.

I have slipped so far away I have fallen to the wayside,
my flesh is the essence of weak but my spirit is made whole by Him.
What we don't realize, what we don't see, is that God has already set us free
He has unlocked the chains, using His blood as the key.

Oh Jezebel!
I will break thy spell,
Oh Jezebel,
you are done.
Oh Jezebel!
I will break thy spell,
Oh Jezebel,
you are done.

You are nothing more than a monster that infects the Earth,
you have taken the lives of many a strong warrior,
I have stood here long and had it up to here,
through much prayer will come my victory.

I stand because you have no power over me.
I stand because you have no power over me.
I rebuke you, I rebuke you
Your hold on me is no longer there.
I rebuke you, I rebuke you
You have driven a wedge between me and my Father.

You say we stand together, but I fall alone
But when we're together I feel like nothing can go wrong
You seem so innocent, with such contagious eyes
But beneath the skin lies a monster inside.
A monster inside

You have lived as a prostitute, with many lovers,
would you now, return to God.
You have lived as a prostitute, with many lovers,
would you now, return to Father.

Repent, beg for forgiveness
Repent, beg for forgiveness.
Repentance is completely turning from your sin, to a life devoted to purity
Because the Father is pleased by your obedience, so always keep your eyes focused on Him.
Heed my warnings, don't ever turn your back on God.

#252: Founded Upon the Sea - The Gun Show

Founded Upon the Sea
The Gun Show

Genre: Deathcore


The Earth is the Lord's and everything in it, the world and all who live in it,
for He founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
Everything in this world has meaning, all life designed with a specific cause,
Order flows about in wait for the second coming of the son of God.
All with life believe in your hearts that the Lord our King has risen,
let everything that has breath come Praise his holy name.

And I heard the voice of the Lord,
Calling me to take up arms,
He said the time is at hand this is my Master's plan to not bring peace but a sword.

Brothers and sisters,
we must make war,
for how selfish are we if there is a disease but we don't share the cure.

Do not fret because of evil men,
or be envious of those who do wrong,

For like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

Sing to the Lord your God, Sing to the Lord your God,
Sing to the Lord your God, Sing to the Lord your God,
Sing to the Lord ye saints, Praise His holy name,
Praise His holy name for His anger lasts but a moment,
but His favor lasts a life time,
Weeping, may remain for a night but rejoiceing comes in the morning.

Oh how I love you, Oh how I long for you.

I long for you,
Fall on my knees, take everything,
upon my knees, give life to me,

And He has written us a guidline, the way to everlasting life,
He has come to bring us life, more abundantly,
so let us not take for granted what you've done for us,
the prophecy, you've paid the ultimate cost.

And He shall come riding on donkey's back, and those who followed, and those who went ahead shouted Hosana, and all the world shall proclaim Hosana in the highest.

Ho-San-A
Hosana in the highest,
Hosana, in the highest,
Hosana.

#251: The Covenant - Betraying the Martyrs

Betraying the Martyrs

Genre: Melodic Death Metal

Note: On Thanksgiving, it's important to remember what there is to be thankful for. Like, for instance, metal. Especially technical melodic death metal with a keyboard/synth, progression, multiple vocal styles, and awesome breakdowns.


The Lord appeared to Abram
Under the tree of Mamree
Do not be afraid, I'm your shield.

"O sovereign Lord"
You have given me no children
Until my corpse and my name will be forgotten

Lord, my reward is just my estate
If indeed you, you can count them and my son will be the servant from my household.
Beneath the sky through the eyes of the slaves.

When no one cared for us, only your hands could protect our dreams.
My descendants will be enslaved by your fault.
As the light fades, darkness comes over him
However let your father go in peace.
Near the river God protects your offspring.
There are no tears in this nation.

When the sun has set and my prayers are burning
A smoking [and] blazing torch appears, passed between the pieces.

As the lights burn in the sky,
A star, A child
When the sun had set and died,
You prayed for this night.

The Lord appeared to Abram,
Under the tree of Mamree
Do not be afraid I'm your shield

"O sovereign Lord",
You have given me no children
"O sovereign Lord"
Until my name be forgotten
Beneath the sky
There are no tears in this nation

#250: Currents - The Gun Show

The Gun Show

Genre: Deathcore/hardcore



We, Come in the name of the Almighty
and we ask that his presence is made known
in this place, Holy Spirit make haste
let not one person leave unchanged
so who all hear may know
that the glory of the Lord is shown
through the power and authority of His word.

So Lord let your Spirit flow through this place, like the mightiest of rivers
I stand here willing oh God would you please speak through me.

There is such an authority found in the name of Christ
A power given to us that we are not worthy to posses
So in the name of Jesus Christ I stand bold in that power
and come against anything that isn't of God
And in His name anyone who hears this song with an open heart
in concordance with the mighty will of God is delivered
from sickness, pain and depression or anything that Satan will use to
bind our minds and trip us up to detour our hearts away from, God.

So through the spirit we walk in His might
because of Faith and not by sight.

How powerful is it when you believe
in a love you can't quite comprehend
with physical means you cannot abound
But through the beautiful name of Christ
an undeniable presence surrounds.

So now you shall, feel His presence, as His name passes from my lips
So now you shall feel an undeniable presence, as His name passes from my lips.

Yod(Y), He(H), Vav(W,V), He(H)

Holy Spirit, Make your presence known
Holy Spirit, mend the hearts that are broken from the pain that this life bestows,
Holy Spirit, make us whole,
make us whole again.

The Crimson Armada

Genre: Deathcore



They say my God is dead
They say my God is dead
They say my God is dead
Well they can run their mouths discussing this in Hell.

Stop obsessing
Death will catch up to you
Love like there's no tomorrow
Stop condemning
Let God be the judge of you
Love like there's no tomorrow

Say what you want to say
Think what you want to think
Just know when the sun collapsed
God was there to carry you

Stop obsessing
Death will catch up to you
Love like there's no tomorrow
Stop condemning
Let God be the judge of you
Love like there's no tomorrow
Stop condemning

Well they can run their mouths discussing this in Hell.

Opposition
In the Midst of Lions

Genre: Deathcore



Reward and consequence will be the final outcome of this world and all who inhabit it.
Loving but just is the King of Kings,
bestowing upon His creation according to the choice we make.
Be devoted to the Lamb or continue following this world.
Men shall reap what they sow, accepting life or embracing death.

His wrath will fall on all who oppose.
Lucid choices made all too difficult when truth is staring us in the face.
The line is drawn. Where do you stand?
The skies will be split in two and all will fall to the ground in reverence.
His glory will overtake the land. Withdrawing now seems all too meaningless.

Time is short and days are numbered. Repent.
Reward and consequence will be the final outcome of this world and all who inhabit it.

While all are crying, “Peace and safety.” annihilation will transpire and
none shall escape from His fury. The final judgment will be made.
This race was not created to fall into darkness, but be warned, narcissistic
disposition will find one staring death in the face... staring death in the face.

His wrath will fall on all who oppose.

#247: Death of Ignorance - Earth from Above

Death of Ignorance
Earth from Above

Genre: Deathcore



What has happened to our integrity? We’re suffocating in a sea of emptiness.
Our integrity has shattered, fooled by the lies and promises.
Our integrity has shattered, fooled by the lies and promises.
Reeled in the traps of villainy. A greater evil is ignorance.
Why should we follow, when we should lead? Take His hand.

Annex the condemned.
Bring them to light.
Their blood is on our hands.
The skies are painted red for a reason.
The skies are painted red for a reason.

This is my desire to honor You. I am growing weary, so carry me!
This is my desire to honor You. I am growing weary, so carry me!
When battle lines are drawn and vast conflicts arise,
we stray from the truth. We’re cowards in our fight.

Those who do not fear death, will not die!
Those who don’t fear death, will not die!
Those who don’t fear death, will not die!
This is the death of ignorance. This is the death of ignorance.

This is my desire to honor You my God.
Without You I’m weary, so carry me in Your arms.
We weren’t robbed of our faith, we threw it away.
But now I’m taking it back to make a difference.
This is my desire to honor You my God.
Without You I’m weary, so carry me!

#246: Abandonment - In the Midst of Lions

Abandonment
In the Midst of Lions

Genre: Metal



They know the truth because creation points to it and its glory makes it obvious to them,
singing, "I’m shining through these invisible qualities and I loved you,
but you wouldn’t worship me." And every excuse will be nothing.
That malice, greed, envy. Claiming to be wise, they betrayed truth for a lie.
So give them over to that "wisdom", their hate.
I’ll withdraw my hand and give them everything they want: abandonment.
Corruption and consequence. And you can drown yourself in that emptiness.
I’ll be patiently waiting for you to call on my name while you try to find your own way home.

The Crimson Armada

Genre: Deathcore

Note: this song has been posted to their MySpace with a download link: http://drop.io/l9hryai
It's not really a functional download link, as the site claims the download limit has been exceeded. You're (surprisingly) better off streaming it from their MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/thecrimsonarmada



I'll put the fear of God back into you
I'll show you what this world is really worth
Apathy is our greatest disease
We are void of compassion

You've got to let this

Go

I'll put the fear of God back in to you

I'll put the fear of God back into you
And show you what this world is really worth

Heed not in their examples or as one we'll perish in the arms of those who curse men
The light is dim to those breathe this infectious worldly obsession
The warmth of circle seven is inviting unobstructed
See not the ways of the wicket is the path to be seduced
And led in vain

My Lord
Take this heart composed of stone
Break me down and mend me in Your Word
My Lord define me
Guide my soul
Cleanse my heart
And make me whole

We are caught in stasis
We are becoming everything we've hated
Lord I need Your Grace
Give me the strength
To take this leap of faith

You're staring at the edge and there is nothing left to do but jump

I'll put the fear of God
Back in to you
I'll put the fear of God
Back into
You

#244: Redefining Moment - 7 Horns 7 Eyes

Redefining Moment
7 Horns 7 Eyes

Genre: Deathcore



A blessing, a gift like no other that I have ever held
Insert my heart in yours, forever together
Hold fast now, don't let go, take my hand and then hold your breath
We will push, we will strive harder than we ever have before

Drown in this peace, follow me and believe
Breathe in this change, though our love stays the same
And together, we will carry on

A different type of this love than we held in past days
Transition into this life anew

Drown in this peace, follow me and believe
Breathe in this change, though our love stays the same

I will not forget the day when you were revealed to me
It was a gift from above, and on that day

I found something that I'd never known
It was a redefining moment in our lives
And forever I won't let it go
It was a redefining moment in our lives

And from this day forward, we will carry on

American Love
Haste the Day

Genre: Metalcore



Exchanging beauty
For the ashes
Given my heart
To nothing real
[X2]

I've given my heart away
To so many things
So many times I've failed
Help me stop this endless cycle
Remind me of how it can be

Take me back
I surrender all
Without you
My heart is broken

I never should have let you go
I never should have let you slip
Through my arms
[X5]

As the sun sets tonight
I'll hold you with all that I am
[X3]
I never should have let you go
Promise me
You'll stay with me forever
Forever
[X3]

Forgive me
For running so quickly to the outside
[X2]

#242: It Is Not the End - 7 Horns 7 Eyes

It Is Not the End
7 Horns 7 Eyes

Genre: Deathcore

Note: this band has become one of my favorites, and I highly recommend buying their EP on iTunes. I'm not sure where to find any of their music anywhere, so I can't give a link to this track. The bottom-most (female vocals) spoken verses were transcribed by me.



We are consumed by this life
Strangled by wordly struggles
Over and over again, life's trials try to break us down
We will not give in this time
Frustration, temptation

So we lift our eyes up to the sky
Reminded of Your wounds that set us free
Broken and bloodied you hung on that cross

And now with hands around my neck
I know that You are still with me

I trust Your ways, I am Yours
I am nothing, without my faith in Your hands
I stumble to the ground

Broken and bloodied you hung on that cross

Take heed O my child, eternity draws near


My earthly senses vanish like smoke, drifting up into the air
Breath escapes my lungs, never to enter again
My life flickers and is gone, like the wind upon a candle
Time exists only in memory, yet I am aware
The world and its cares fall behind me
I am separated from flesh, but it is not the end

At this my heart pounds, and leaps from its place
I feel a warmth that I have never known, surrounding and comforting me
I am bathed in a radiant light, pure and welcoming
The voices of the angels resonate in every direction
As my vision clears I see not my earthly shell, but a new and perfect existance
And in this moment there is peace, as I step forward towards the open arms of my King


Where O death is your sting?
Where O grave is your destruction?


I will say of the Lord:
He is my refuge, and my fortress
My God, and whom I trust
I will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day
nor the pestilence that stalks the darkness
nor the plague that destroys the midday

Because you love me, says the Lord,
I will rescue you
I will protect you, for you acknowledge my Name
You will call upon me
And I will answer you
I will be with you in trouble
I will deliver you and honor you
With long life will I satisfy you
And show you my Salvation

#241: Defiance - In the Midst of Lions

Defiance
In the Midst of Lions

Genre: Deathcore



What a terrible thing
to fall into the hands of a living God.
Screaming, “It’s not my fault!”
But the devil does not fight fair.

An evil plague of sin is consuming this shell of good.
Secrets hidden from the eyes of man
are revealed in Your presence...
are revealed in Your presence.

A worthless shield put up to hide
the iniquities, day after passing day.
Crying out to your creation...
crying out, “I Am, I am here.”... “I Am, I am here.”

But the devil does not fight fair,
while it falls upon deaf ears as though never spoken before.

What a terrible thing to
fall into the hands of a living God.
Screaming, “It’s not my fault!”
But the devil does not fight fair.

And when you stand before His seat of judgment,
what will you hear? What will you hear?

"I never knew you. I don’t care! And while you stood on the street corners, screaming your prayers, I starved to death, naked and bare! But you never cared! You never turned your head as I begged beneath pointing, crooked fingers attached to crooked, faithless men! I am consumed by your anger! Terrified by your rage! Love and grace? What a beautiful revelation in relation to the patience you practice towards the sin that you hate. This is the message that I proclaim: Kiss the Son! Because the day will come that you perish from the way. You’re toying with the flint that starts the sparks that turn into the fire that fan the flames. I could have been your escape! I Am! But the devil does not fight fair. You sweep people away like dreams that disappear! I Am! But the devil does not fight fair. I could have been your escape!"

White Flag
For Today

Genre: Metalcore



You see my blood and sweat and tears I have poured on the ground before you.
Take everything.
Blood and sweat and tears, you have poured on the ground before me,
when you gave everything.

I have lived this war too long. Come and take everything.
I have lived in sin too long. Come and take everything.
I release it all, finally.

Finally, I surrender. All to you, I give it all to you.
Finally, I surrender. All I am, I owe it all to you.
Finally, I surrender. All to you, I give it all to you.
Finally, I surrender. All I am, I owe it all.

You fight for me when I can’t fight for myself.
This battle is not mine, but the battle belongs to the Lord.
This battle is not mine, but the battle belongs to the Lord.

So, I am no slave unto this broken flesh, because you gave me hope.
I am no slave unto this broken flesh, because you are my hope.
I am no slave to my flesh--that man has died. I am a free man!

Under the blood, I rise. Redeemed, I stand;
carried back from hell by your nail-scarred hands.
And now I’m free. You broke my chains and you gave me the key.
So I now bow to show you, that you are everything to me.

Finally, I surrender. All to you, I give it all to you.
Finally, I surrender. All I am, I owe it all to you.
Finally, I surrender. All to you, I give it all to you.
Finally, I surrender. All I am, I owe it all to you.

#238: Reconciliation - The Burial

The Burial

Genre: Melodic Death Metal



Can you not see the price He paid for your transgressions.
His life, laid down for your undeserving redemption.
We cry out for the truth, but we refuse to hear it.
Our hearts have been sold to the Oppressor himself.
A path set straight for Golgotha.
We led our King to His willing demise,
to bear a burden we could not face ourselves.

I pray the destroying angel passes over your home.
For we have crucified Our Lord, Our God.
And thus, the words of the prophets are fulfilled.

Delivered from the power of darkness.
Our names (our names), engraved on His hands.
My God, my God, why have You forsaken Him.
With one last breath, He gave up the ghost.
And, covered in blood, we are saved from what’s within.

A scapegoat for man’s depravity, this was the only way.
Our salvation lies in the sacrifice of the Worthy Lamb, Jesus Christ.
May His death be a constant reminder...
that in Him, we live, we breathe, we have our being.

In Him, we live. In Him, we breathe. In Him, we live. In Him, we have our being.

How we’ve fallen. Lord, Your arm’s not too short to save, even at our darkest.
I pray we find Your heart and repent, before we perish.
Let the Lamb that was slain receive the reward for His suffering.

Psalm of the Son
For Today

Genre: Metalcore



Crucify me! The only honor I seek is to live and die for the warrior King.
Crucify me! And let the world cry out that I am still too bold, but I won’t back down.
Crucify me! And you will see, this flesh will die to liberate my Spirit.

If death has touched my Kingdom, watch, as it bows its head in shame.
My eyes have seen glory. Watch as I fearlessly proclaim.. “For me to die is gain.”
And so my legacy is set. I am eternal. But, I was born to
die, that the sons may live. Let the nations see. I was born to die.

I am everlasting. From the grave, I have come in glory.
I am everlasting. When the world burns, know I’ll be standing.
Wake up, and see my destiny.
When you can wake up, you’ll know I stand as the hope for victory.

No one takes my life, but I lay it down.
No one takes my life, but I lay it down willingly.
My words will not fall; this is the heart of God.
My words will not fade. Truth is the ground I built my Kingdom on--and it will stand eternal.

There Will Be Violence
Impending Doom

Genre: Deathcore



This is violence in its purest form, what it is truly made for,
love and hatred flow through my throat, with this microphone in my hand.

We are the voice for the voiceless among unholy kingdoms drunk with blasphemy.
We are continents wide and oceans deep,
the blood of the saints is splashed across the ruins like a holy holocaust.
We will return and you will hear an uproar of lost souls.

There will be violence! There will be violence!

Perverse works are in vain, though the light may now seem dim,
the whole world chases after Him, this is a movement abandoning hate and preaching war.

We are the voice for the voiceless among unholy kingdoms drunk with blasphemy.
We are continents wide and oceans deep,
the blood of the saints is splashed across the ruins like a holy holocaust.
We will return and you will hear an uproar of lost souls.

For the unbelievers who repeatedly try to retain their “faith in humanity”,
I promise there will be violence.

There will be violence! There will be violence! There will be violence! (violence) ...violence!

Burn, and let the whole world see! You were made to burn.
...and let the whole world see! You were made to burn.
...and let the whole world see! You were made to burn.

I see an old breed of prophet arising, speaking as voices from another age;
set ablaze with the flame of the Spirit of God, and sent from before the throne.
...sent from before the throne.
We are sent from before the throne to stand up and speak out,
and let hell tremble when they hear us say,
“We are the burning ones, and we will not be contained!”
“We are the burning ones, and we will not be contained!” Oh...

Burning ones, arise! Come forth!

Oh take your flame, ignite the world.
We are the only hope for a hopeless world to see the face of the living God.
Oh take your flame, ignite the world.
Under the name above all names, we declare that the glorious One lives.
Take your flame, ignite the world. Take your flame, ignite the world!
Take your flame, ignite the world. Take your flame, ignite the world!

Come to the throne! Come to the throne!
You were made to burn and let the whole world see!
Burn, and let the whole world see. Burn, and let the whole world see.

Oh take your flame, ignite the world! Oh take your flame, ignite the world!

world! Take your flame, ignite the world! Take your flame, ignite the world!

Break the chains of this monster holding onto me. Break the chains on my heart.
Far too long have I been blinded by his ways. Break the chains on my heart.

Conform my heart to that which is pleasing to You. Reborn into a new life.
I will spread truth to the nations. Light a fire inside of me.
I will rise up! I will rise up! I will rise up! I will rise up!

A darkness is rotting us from within. We must renew our lives and wipe this slate clean.
Send forth Your Spirit as we cry out, “Abba, Father!” Overcome the dark with light!

My body will perish, but my soul will stand firm. I refuse to let the fire consume me.
My body will perish, but my soul will stand firm. I refuse to let the fire consume me.
You fill me up with Your Spirit. I am forever Yours!
The deceiver may claw at my faith, but I will stand strong.
The deceiver may claw at my faith, but I will stand strong.

I will move the mountains. You are my shield, who can touch me now?
I know all he speaks are lies, while You alone are the Truth.
I give up all that I am. I give up all that I am.

Take my heart. Make it Yours. Take my heart. Make it Yours.
Take my heart. Make it Yours. Take my heart. Make it Yours.

The Great Fear
Impending Doom

Genre: Deathcore



The devil is alive, ’cause I can feel him breathing.
Over the horizon comes hell, and my arms wide open as I embrace the apocalypse.
This is what you came to know as fear. He’s here, this is the great fear.

I don’t care who you are, you’re afraid of death, you’re terrified by how the world’s going to end,
so follow me as I take you to the One where life begins... where life begins.

A flash, with black roses in our hands, we fall to the floor like ash.
The hatred placed in humanity leads to the love of global destruction
and worship of senseless slaughter (slaughter)... slaughter.

I don’t care who you are, you’re afraid of death, you’re terrified by how the world’s going to end.
I don’t care who you are, you’re afraid of death, you’re terrified... you’re terrified.

Now put all this suffering and hatred together, this won’t last forever.
THIS WON’T LAST FOREVER! This won’t last forever. This won’t last forever.
We are (we are) ...enslaved (enslaved) ...to a (to a) ...darkened (darkened) (darkened) ...world.
We are enslaved (we are enslaved) ...to a darkened (to a darkened world).
I will never follow! I will never follow! Yeah...

I don’t care who you are, you’re afraid of death, you’re terrified by how the world’s going to end,
so follow me as I take you to the One where life begins... where life begins.

Everyone here will die, but the great fear is being left behind.
Everyone here will die, but the great fear is being left behind.

Hell is coming, but I embrace the One who stands alone.
Hell is coming, but I embrace the One who stands alone. Oh...
Hell is coming! Hell is coming!... Hell is coming! Hell is coming! Hell is coming!

I do believe, but perverted religions they all spread like disease.
I do believe, but perverted religions they all spread like disease, untrusting and deceived.
Governments leading the blind (leading the blind), controlling societies with:
Noise! Peace! Illusions! Riots fill our streets. Noise! Peace! Illusions!

I have said nothing new, I’m not a revolutionary,
I’m not the world’s leader, but I’m a part of holding it together.
I have such a different view of this place; it seems that the faces of evil always seem to change.

Suffering and glory are the greatest powers that history has ever seen.
I want to live a life worth writing about and more, because I lived a life, a life worth dying for.

They will never silence us with torture or in their prisons.

Tears will roll down our cheeks and our souls will get restless,
but we will not be afraid of the lion’s teeth in our face.
I will grab the beast by his mane and scream at the top of my lungs.

We have made it my friends, we’re the closest generation to the end.
They will never silence us with torture or in their prisons.

Haste the Day

Genre: Rock



I've walked with the kings and I've marched to the pounding drums
Then you came

You asked me to change but like a fool I refused
And walked away
Oh, oh

It's not like you would know, would you?
You were white as snow
But still you plead, still you plead guilty

They took my crown as I hung my head and tied the noose
Around my neck
They tied me up and left me for dead please, cut me loose

It's not like you would know, would you?
You were white as snow
But still you plead, still you plead guilty

It's not like you would know, would you?
You were white as snow
You were white as snow
You were white as snow

Golgotha
With Blood Comes Cleansing

Genre: Deathcore



This is the place of the skull where terror reigned.
A crucifixion of agony and pain.
A crown of thorns pierced his skin.
Bound by our wages of sin.

Mercy so undeserved.
We cursed our God.
While he suffered.

The skies grow dark and the earth shakes
and for a second your heart breaks.
Eloi eloi lama sabacthani.

Our souls lie in Golgotha.
Prophecy fulfilled in Golgotha.

White Washed
August Burns Red

Genre: Metalcore



Push your controlling values aside, and dissect your own life.
It’s not about my beliefs. It’s about personal choice.
It breaks your heart to see me consume, but it shatters mine to see people follow you.
Ask me to be blameless. You ask me to be blameless.
You ask me to be blameless, but who are you to decide what’s right?

Don’t say another word. Don’t say another word. You’ve crossed the line.
Don’t say another word. You’ve crossed the line. Don’t say another word.
You’ve crossed the line. Don’t say another word. You’ve crossed the line.
Let’s go...

I won’t hesitate to put you in your place.
You are the straw that’s crushing my back.
You ask me to be blameless.
You ask me to be blameless, but who are you to decide what’s right?
Don’t say another word...

However, I thank you for this pen and ink ammunition.
Thank you for the inspiration.
You’re the straw that’s crushing my back.
You are the salt that’s burning my wounds.
You’re the straw that’s crushing my back.
You are the salt that’s burning my wounds.
You’re the straw that’s crushing my back.
You are the salt that’s burning my wounds.

Genre: Death Metal

Note: I got reminded of this band today and just wanted to post something quick and simple, so this song worked out well for that goal. I highly recommend them. Sonnentau would have been a preferred post, being a beautiful song, but it's all German so I have no idea what it means.

Here I Come Falling

Genre: Post-Hardcore



We'll look in all directions
Not a soul for miles around
This scene is getting old
Gasp for air, I'll let you up
if you will follow Me

This scenery is getting old
We'll leave this place tonight
This place is full of demons
There's no one left to save
So turn and face your King

Sound the alarm!
This fight will more than break our bones
You're such a disaster
I'll never sleep again

Catch your breath
Put your armor on
Now it's time to face your King

Please don't burn these bridges
Oceans swell beneath us
This place is full of demons
Burn it to the ground

#222: Gethsemane - Wrench in the Works

Wrench in the Works

Genre: Progressive Metalcore



Pleading among the twisted trees:
"Father, please take this cup from me... But not of my own, but Your will be done."

A ready heart broken by grief. All the prayers in the world won’t save Him now.
Knees to the dirt, blood on the brow...

Piercing the paw of a lion, crushing the head of the snake.
The curtain was torn top to bottom. The heavens and history shake.
The Anointed broken to redeem the fall of creation...

The execution of an innocent man. Politicians wash the guilt from their hands...
"But not of my own, but Your will be done." They sent to die, Your only begotten Son.

Knees to the dirt, blood on the brow...

There can be no redemption without the shedding of blood.
There can be no redemption without the shedding of blood.
There can be no redemption without the shedding of blood.

#220: Field Of Blood - In The Midst of Lions

Field Of Blood
In The Midst of Lions

Genre: Deathcore



Now you stand upon the ground where the betrayer met his end.
He took his life on the field of blood.
By his own hand he has brought on an excruciating end.
He took his life on the field of blood.

Memories of the events that compose the last days of his life cloud his eyes.
And will not be forgotten, for they’re burned in his mind... in his mind.
For Satan did penetrate the darkest corners of his mind.

Thoughts of betrayal. Betrayal that brought my Saviour’s life to a close.
Thoughts of betrayal. Betrayal that found a price in silver.
But in this decomposing world of now, this resembles a shell of my life.
But in this decomposing world of now, this resembles a shell of my life.

Why are my actions not what I know to be righteous?
My Saviour’s blood is now on my hands.
Why are my actions not what I know to be righteous?
My Saviour’s blood is now on my hands.

I am the betrayer. I am the betrayer.
It is my sin that holds him to that cross.
I don’t deserve what You have done for me... have done for me.
But through Your grace and Your love You have saved me.
You have saved me.

#219: An Abstract Struggle - Earth From Above

Earth From Above

Genre: Deathcore



Is this what you call perfection?
How can you take something so beautiful, and turn it into darkness?
We were given the world, but we destroyed it.
We were given immortality, but we threw it away.
We were given life, but we killed ourselves.

Everything that our fathers fought for is now distinct and forgotten.
Everything that our fathers died for, is now buried in our ignorance.

Blood was shed on this ground. Blood was shed on this ground.
Blood was shed on this ground. Blood was shed on this ground.
There is an abstract struggle within men, within men.
There is an abstract struggle within men.
There is a war that has been ongoing for ages.
When will we learn that our fight is against a different kind of enemy?
(An abstract struggle. We’ll understand. When we see Christ. When our day comes).

"All wars are civil wars. For all men are brothers."
"All wars are civil wars. For all men are brothers."
The faithful overcome adversity, while others stumble in their own, their own path.
The faithful overcome adversity, while others stumble in their own, their own path.
Evil prevails when good men choose to do nothing.
Evil prevails when good men choose to do nothing.
Evil prevails when good men choose to do nothing.
Evil prevails when good men choose to do nothing.

#217: The Antidote - Earth From Above

Earth From Above

Genre: Deathcore



We were raised by a belief system that fails to pour out the truth.
Do not be misled. Your faith in Christ will save you.
Your antics don’t impress me, you really don’t impress me.
Do not be misled. Your faith in Christ will save you.

So slowly yet surely, this disease begins to demean us.
All along, the antidote was there.
So many of our hearts have been broken.
Far too many lies have been spoken.
The Gospel has power to change these lives.

There are no words left for all of mankind to utterly describe
how merciful and noble the Father is.
Yet your filthy testimony has
suppressed the love that has been so gracefully given... given.

The times that we have wasted and the lives that we have taken away.
In the end we’re all dying, dying for purity.
The times that we have wasted and the lives that we have taken away.
In the end we all are dying, dying for purity.

We were raised by the belief system that fails to pour out the truth.
Do not be misled. Your faith in Christ will save you.
We are walking bombs. Who will save us from our demise?
We are walking bombs. Who will save us from our demise?
I’ve got news for you. I’ve got news for you.
I’ve got news for you. I’ve got news for you.
The burden has been lifted. The burden has been lifted.
The burden has been lifted. The burden has been lifted.

I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.

But the blood of Christ has washed away my shame.
But the blood of Christ has washed away my shame.
So why stand here so filthy?
But the blood of Christ has washed away my shame.
So why stand here so filthy?

But the blood of Christ has washed away my shame.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.

#216: A Thousand Deaths - As They Sleep

As They Sleep

Genre: Melodic Death Metal

(potential epilepsy warning)




Trapped in this life together as we struggle each and every day.
Will it ever get any better? Time will tell our fate.
Search for deliverance, anything to take the pain away.
Fight for the answers. Sign your life away.

How can we be so blind that we cannot see that happiness is so far from being free.
To have the life I’d die a thousand times.
What makes this world go ’round only corrupts our minds.
We give, you take. Can’t take this anymore.
The rich keep getting richer. The poor keep living poor.

Time will tell our fate. Can’t be pushed much further.
Every man has the right to change his ways.
Deception not the answer. Make the sacrifice.
Plow through the faithless. Spit in the face of agony.
It’s time to take back, take back what you gave.

How can we be so blind that we cannot see that happiness is so far from being free.
To have the life I’d die a thousand times.
What makes this world go ’round only corrupts our minds.
We give, you take. Can’t take this anymore.
The rich keep getting richer. The poor keep living poor.
Time will tell our fate.

Darkness controls all of man. A life that we've built upon sand.
Turning what’s left of this place into a life of eternal disgrace.
A race to be God among men. Greed will consume all it can.
Damnation a certain demise. Looking for truth in the midst of a lie.
Darkness controls all of man. A life that we've built upon sand.
Turning what's left of this place into a life of eternal disgrace.

Who will decide your self-worth?

Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore



Born from the fire clean, crawling through the dirt like WAR.
5 years, my mother gave a voice for WAR.
10, I was dead, born again with eyes for WAR.
By 15, hate was the name of my WAR.

Wash me in the river, give me to the pain of LifeWar. LifeWar. Life...

20 years gone, and father told me life was like WAR.
Hands to the bone, 25 years of WAR.
30, I wake to the sound of souls at WAR.
I will pass through, buried with the flag of my WAR.

Wash me in the river, give me to the pain of LifeWar.
LifeWar. LifeWAR...War. LifeWar. LifeWar.... LifeWar....

Herod's Demise
In The Midst of Lions

Genre: Deathcore



A diabolical ruler has arisen to corrupt this Holy Land.
With lies, deceit and violence he will reign.
His heart will be filled with hate and he will show no mercy for the weak.
With lies, deceit and violence he will reign.

Through spiteful action the blood of righteous men will spill upon the earth.
Ignorant of the end that awaits his wretched life.
His blasphemies are heard by the Father and will never be ignored.
The angels are descending from above and are commanded by the Alpha and Omega.

This man shall never see another day! This man shall never see another day!
Electricity is now streaming through every pore and there’s no turning back for this man.
The smell of burning flesh fills up the air and lifeforms rise up from the earth.
Up from the earth. Up from the earth. Up from the earth. Up from the earth.

Now tell me as the worms consume your flesh, do you fear my God now?
Now tell me as the worms consume your flesh, do you fear my God now?
Now tell me as the worms consume your flesh, do you fear my God now?
Now tell me as the worms consume your flesh, do you fear my God now?

#213: Burials - Earth From Above

Earth From Above

Genre: Deathcore



A sudden realization is changing our ways.
Have we deliberately darkened our own days?
And Now we’re only 48 hours away.
These times are dangerous for us.
Do not be led astray. (x2)

We have walked hand in hand with friends, sinners and transgressors.
The "righteous" despise Your name.
They question Your love for others.
1000 miles of tribulations have come down to this.
The time has come for us to see if prophecies really bring us bliss.
The serpent is roaming in the garden yearning to take control.
Hold fast for the Creator guards so no one will harm us anymore.
An alabaster box filled with the finest oils,
cannot begin to compare to the price of His holy blood.
With it He has prepared us all for our proper burials.

Oh, how I wish that I can save you now.
The truth is I can’t even save myself.
I lift up my head hoping to make eye contact with You.
This awkward silence sends chills down my spine.
All will be restored... it’s only a matter of time.
The One true hope for mankind.
This one thing I cannot deny.

So you’ve made this your personal endeavor:
safeguard these friends from their early graves.
So you have made this your personal endeavor:
safeguard your friends from their early graves.
Safeguard your friends from their early graves.

#212: Salvaged - Earth From Above

Earth From Above

Genre: Deathcore



A new revelation of false intentions and misconceptions has been exposed.
This is how the story unfolds: (x2)

The number of deceived have been lost over the years.
Betrayed everyone who has listened with open ears.
Blessings have been mistaken for power.
Exposed our shame to hide your guilt.

How is it possible to take the broken promises back?
When all they've done is push us further and further away.
How is it possible to take the broken promises back?
When all they've done is push us further and further away... away.

We are blinded by our insecurities.
To find the beauty within is an understatement.
The assessment is no good and the prognosis is poor.
Brace yourselves (the impact is inevitable).

This crash has devastated my hopes of survival.
There's no one left to point the finger at.
I ate up all of your lies.
With every word you say, a part of me callously dies.

And now I've come to a point where all seems lost.
Father, I place my pain before your throne and acknowledge my shame.
Take everything.
Use what's left of this wreckage.
Salvage the broken pieces.
Take everything.
Salvage the broken pieces.

I am plagued but I am not broken. I am plagued but I am not broken.
I am plagued but I am not broken. I am plagued but I am not broken.
I am plagued but I am not broken. Oppressed but still I stand.
I am plagued but I am not broken. Oppressed but still I stand.
I am plagued but I am not broken. Oppressed but still I stand.
I am plagued but I am not broken. Oppressed but still I stand.

I am too weak to take this cup.
I asked for it, but had no idea it would overflow so quick in so little time.
Control has slipped through my hands and I am too crippled to grab a hold of it once again.
They've exposed our shame to hide their guilt, but love covers a multitude of sins.
Calm these storms and rescue me from the sea!

Tongues of fire (fire) spew forth and let these men hear!

Thy Will Be Done

Genre: Death Metal



Lead me to Zion (?)
Preserving the sacred

Phoenix rising from the ashes
to make change with conviction
We are standing on the one Truth
We will stand firm never removed

Advocate taking stance to remind us
of that which we have forgotten
We must repair these ravages of mindlessness

Temple growing Temple moving
from conception to extinction
Deep within us there's a passion
to enlighten all the children

Sell your riches and possessions
Our salvation our new movement
Love will sustain love will refrain
on our lips to bless and overcome

Advocate taking stance to remind us
of that which we have forgotten
We must repair these ravages of mindlessness

These impurities that infect this land
will not remove me from where I stand

Preserving the sacred

Beauty blessed
All confess undenied
Except inside
Black seeds of jealousy
Forced inside
At such a tender age
Irreparable psychosis set in motion
Joy of life and love
Sucked out by the words of your worlds
Colliding your worlds
Colliding this blackness inside
Manifest itself
Hate and pride
Dispelled by god’s love over time
Forgiveness
The mirror lies
Conditioning seeds of jealousy
Dispelled by god’s love
Peace becomes real to me
This blackness inside
Manifest itself in hate and pride
Dispelled by god’s love overtime
Forgiveness
The mirror lies
Conditioning seeds of jealousy
Dispelled by god’s love
Peace becomes real to me
This blackness inside
Manifest itself in hate and pride
Dispelled by god’s love overtime
Forgiveness landslide

Sink or Swim
Onward to Olympas

Genre: Metalcore




I wanted to be something
Something more just to help myself
But I’m sorry I couldn’t help you out

These changes are a part of everything
that is the start of my new beginning
These changes are a part of everything
that is the start of my new beginning

And we’ve all been drowning
In an ocean of hatred
No exit in site
That was our fate
And the water is rising
And we can’t seem to swim
Please don’t let this tide pull us in

You were there in my life through anything
But as time went on we grew apart
Now are we suffering?
Things will be better now I just have this feeling
But I will stand through this
And life will overcome me

And we’ve all been drowning
In an ocean of hatred
No exit in site
That was our fate
And the water is rising
And we can’t seem to swim
Please don’t let this tide pull us in

But you keep coming back
I don’t need this
I would give my life
I would die tonight

This is the start of something new
This is the start of something new
This is the start of something new
This is the start of something new

You blackened your windows... you coward.
You’re like a candle without its wick, what is your purpose?

If everything inside knows we’re called to illuminate Christ, then what are we waiting for?
Stand up, get up, it’s time things change. Ignite, we’ll draw the masses with our flames.

The whole world is waiting, un-tint your windows. We are a lighthouse. Shine forth.

The Kingdom of God is yearning. We will stand for our King.
We will stand for our King. We will stand for our King.
We will stand for our King. We will stand for our King.

Our battle has already been won and so we stand before You today.
Lift high the name above all names.

All chains break loose. All chains break loose. All chains break loose... Let go....

Plotting our attack. Our attack.

Your hate will be replaced by fear.
Fear of failure, fear of death.
Fear of shadows, fear for your last breath.

Why do you climb the walls at night?
Because you’ve fallen from the light.
You’ve fallen from the light.
And every minute of every hour.
Plotting our attack. Our attack.

And so this means war.
Tonight, tonight is war.
Tonight is war.

#203: Lost Connection With the Head - Showbread

Showbread

Genre: Raw Rock



Oh Lord I'm sick of myself
I'd rather bury it than carry it
I'm desperate for help
And barely sentient means just being me
Follow suit the destitute my modus operandi
A face that's marked by pallor means you're wasting away
So get a tan and raise your hands and take to feeling okay
No one enjoys the party when they're stricken with anemia
And I'm a shallow sinking surface simply screaming septicemia

Peace of mind is hard to find
So I'm standing in line and feeling fine

Aye me, sad hours seem long!
And even longer when you're numb
Fading away and that's okay
Cause life has me under her thumb

I'm languorously open ended
And the endings no good
I've been told to break the mold and I would if I could
But apathy is easier than caring at all
And the undulating nothingness means having a ball
Incredibly impressive and bereft of concern
Lobotomized and optimized and then I'm ready to burn
And I'm at war within myself and self is winning the fight
Cause feeling like no one at all means feeling alright

Sense of purpose has got me feeling worthless
And I'm fading away, but that's okay

Aye me, sad hours seem long!
And even longer when you're numb
Fading away and that's okay
Cause life has me under her thumb

Oh yeah, all right
I'm in a big fat cage and feeling free
That's okay, that's all right
Cause that's all that's left of me

Oh Lord I'm sick of myself
I'd rather bury it than carry it
I'm desperate for help
And barely sentient means just being me
Follow suit the destitute my modus operandi

Aye me, sad hours seem long!
And even longer when you're numb
Fading away and that's okay
Cause life has me under her thumb

Oh yeah, all right
I'm in a big fat cage and feeling free
That's okay, that's all right
Cause that's all that's left of me

Goodbye, goodnight
That's all that's left of me
