#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.

#249: Soulcrusher - The Crimson Armada

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

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

#248: Opposition - In the Midst of Lions

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!
