#258: Psalm of the City of the Dead - Zao

Psalm of the City of the Dead
Zao

Genre: Metal


As we wait here for a sign
We are greeted by the end of time

These streets aren't paved with gold
You are my everything
My soul is growing cold

#257: A Call to the Martyrs - Mortal Treason

A Call to the Martyrs
Mortal Treason

Genre: Deathcore


Mass murder for the sake of Christ.
Time has come to live, to die, to pass away, to burn away.
They're coming again.
I feel no pain.
Life inside this world has come.
It lived. It died. It passed away.

Now is the time for selfish annihilation.
Hail Jesus, hail Christ.
Hail to the King.
His blood covered my sight.
Open my eyes.
Why can't they see you in this life?
His blood covered my sight.

Life has cut me down to size.
My heart is open.
I can hear you calling my name.
As you do, open my eyes.
Your life reigns.
I can hear you screaming out.

I could never ignore your call.
Now is the time.
Selfishness under my feet.
Now you can never hide the pain that lies in your heart.
It will push you straight to your grave.
Live for the Lord and you will see the truth eternally.

#256: Heart of a Servant - I Built the Cross

Heart of the Servant
I Built the Cross

Genre: Deathcore


Impaled high above the cross the sins of the world pour out from your hands and feet.
Mocked and defiled, embedded in your head are thorns.
This is love. Lord, I am eternally grateful.
My heart is all I have to give.
Now religion has destroyed.
This was never how things were meant to be.
We are no longer bound by the law.
In His blood we find freedom. We are saved by grace.
So give me peace through these times of struggle, and hope through these times of despair.
Give me the heart of a servant, so I may worship with all of my life.
Your religion is dead, but Jesus, you give life. This is my purpose: to live for your glory.
Lord, I give you praise.
You died for me, I will live for you.
I would give my life for this.

This is my purpose: to live for your glory.
Lord, I give you praise.
You died for me, I will live for you.
I would give my life for this.
