#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!

#211: Tongues of Fire - In The Midst of Lions

Tongues of Fire
In The Midst of Lions

Genre: Deathcore



With tongues of fire, every man shall hear.
With tongues of fire, every man shall hear.
The Son has risen, every man shall hear.
The Son has risen, every man shall hear.

Blood and tears were not shed in vain,
but they were shed with a purpose in mind.
Blood and tears were not shed in vain.

Spirit descend for our work is not done here!
Spirit descend for our work is not done here!
Tongues of fire (fire) spew forth and let these men hear!
Tongues of fire (fire) spew forth and let these men hear!
Spirit descend! Spirit descend!

With tongues of fire, every man shall hear.
The Son has risen, every man shall hear.
The Son has risen, and the end is near!

#210: Preserving the Sacred - Thy Will Be Done

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

#209: Black Seeds - Living Sacrifice

Living Sacrifice

Genre: Metalcore

Note: I was looking through old posts, and I noticed that I had a few drafts that I never actually published.. I believe this was supposed to be post #92 on 3/15/08. I thought I'd go ahead and publish it.



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

#208: Sink or Swim - Onward to Olympas

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

#207: For Our King - Creations

For Our King
Creations

Genre: Hardcore



You blackened your windows... you coward.
You’re like a candle without its wick, what is your purpose?
What does a lighthouse without its light accomplish? Please tell me this.

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....
