#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
