#274: Juggernaut - The Crimson Armada

Juggernaut
The Crimson Armada

Genre: Deathcore


Try as you might you will never bring me down
This means nothing. You mean nothing.
The best you'll be is dead to me

You can rip out my tongue
And I'll speak of His love.
You can pry out my eyes
And I'll show off His love.
You can tear off my flesh
I'll share the warmth of his love.

You've got nothing on me
I am the Juggernaut
You are nothing to me
I am the juggernaut

So tremble before me

Try as you might you will never bring me down
This means nothing. You mean nothing.
The best you'll be is dead to me

So give me your best, or better give me your worst
I will follow my king to the back of a hearse
I am the juggernaut, and I come in the name of the King
I am the juggernaut, now tremble before me

Tremble
This means nothing
You mean nothing
Tremble

The best you'll be is dead to me.

#273: Brave the Seas - See The Light

Brave the Seas
See The Light

Genre: Hardcore


This ship has reached the four corners and returned empty handed.
Brave the seas. Dark and sour, a line we lead.
Expected ease. Heavy the hour, an arrow we need.
We expect such ease.

Take hold this vessel, oh helmsman. This compass, in your hands.
Captain, take us to the ends. For we're with you, yes we can.

Brave the seas. Dark and sour, a line we lead.
Heavy the hour, an arrow we need. We expect such ease.

For far to long I had to steer this ship alone.
For far to long I pushed through the raging storms.
I stood there empty and lost, I beckoned for direction and purpose.
But Father, Oh Father... I called your name.
God I've seen you move, I've seen you rescue the lost, and heal the lame.
Jesus, I want to know you. I lay my life before you.
Thank you for dying on the cross and washing away my sin.
I have nothing to offer but still you stand before me with open arms.

Father, I believe.
I believe in your love.
I believe in your grace.
I believe in your unending love.
I believe in your amazing grace.

#272: Narrow Gate - Centuries Apart

Narrow Gate
Centuries Apart

Genre: Death Metal


This path unbeaten leads me to doubt the success that it promises.
Seeming alone, I will fight the battle which I will lose to myself.

I blame clarity, ignorance and my own pride; the only driving force.
Regret I won't, though the spite builds a bitter unfamiliar climax.

These walls are thin and my morale is thinning.

How can I be so sure in a time where only wrong distracts me?
I am torn to desperation beyond my own doubts.
The path only narrows itself ahead and options diminish from the sealed fate.

I hope and fear that I am fearless.

I'll fight the battle, I'll lose to myself.

#271: Xenosynthesis: Requiem Aeternam, Pt. 3 - Becoming the Archetype

Xenosynthesis: Requiem Aeternam, Pt. 3
Becoming the Archetype

Genre: Progressive Death Metal


The heart of flesh has taken root inside
The light of life has been injected
Like circuitry across the expanse of space and time
Another darkened soul has been connected

Soli Deo Gloria
You can't save yourself
Enemies are rising up against the light
Yet it will go on shining even in the darkest night

Lifted up from the ocean's tomb
His body modified, surgically improved
Given a heart that never stops beating
Given lungs for underwater breathing

To return to the ocean floor (walk among the dead)
To walk among the dead below (light will outpour)
Despite the flesh, light will outpour (and it will grow)
And in darkness hope will grow
Soli Deo Gloria
You can't save yourself

The ocean echoes back the music of eternity
The blackest sky gives way to perfect beauty
Requiem Aeternam
Soli Deo Gloria
