#226: White Washed - August Burns Red

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.

The people who survive the sword will find favor in the desert. [Jeremiah 31:2]
I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt. [Jeremiah 31:4]
I am the painter making this mess a masterpiece.

#224: Choose Christ - Acoustic Torment

Choose Christ

Acoustic Torment

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.

Choose death or life

Choose Satan or CHRIST

Choose life

Choose death or life

Choose Satan or CHRIST

Choose CHRIST

#223: Bad Company Ruins Good Manners - Here I Come Falling

Bad Company Ruins Good Manners

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

Gethsemane

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.
