#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.

#237: Psalm of the Son - For Today

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.

#236: There Will Be Violence - Impending Doom

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!

#235: Seraphim - For Today

Seraphim
For Today

Genre: Metalcore



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