#292: Cry of the Oppressed - In the Midst of Lions

Cry of the Oppressed
In the Midst of Lions

Genre: Deathcore


This is a cry of the oppressed! This is a cry of the oppressed!

I fix my eyes above and I scream for relief.
This suffering is just too much.
My God, hear my cry.

My throat is raw from screaming
and the pain is setting in.
What's become of my life?
This isn't how I imagined it.

He is faithful. He has heard my cry.
This darkness will not be allowed to be the end.
Deliver me from the hands of my oppressors.

Show me the light. Show me the light.
I fix my eyes above and I scream for relief.
This suffering is just too much.
I will trust in a God who first trusted in me
to save me from the hands that placed me here.

Free me from my oppressors.
Lead me from the chains that bind me here.
Free me from my oppressors.
Lead me from the chains that bind me here.

I will trust in a God who first trusted in me
to lead me from the hands that placed me here.

I am free. I am free. I am free! I am free!

I'm no longer a stranger in a foreign land.
The promises made have been answered.
I will walk with my head held high,
Proclaiming the name of the one who saved me.

This is a cry of the oppressed!

#291: Scrolls of the Megilloth - Mortification

Scrolls of the Megilloth
Mortification

Genre: Grindcore/Death Metal


Guidance of our intimacy
Holy love is what I see
Direction from the book of life
Song of songs in the Megilloth

Existence of admiration
Man's part of God's creation
Scrolls of the Megilloth
Scrolls of the Megilloth

David's genealogy
A female friend is she
Ruth is a book of love
To overcome difficulties
Boaz, symbolic of Christ
Redeeming His holy Church

Esther, victory of morals
Over conniving racist king
Sovereignty and great courage
Protection of God's people

Taken to captivity
A sense of tragedy
Jeremiah's Lamentation
Grieving for his nation
Destruction is a logical result
Of defying God

A book of philosophy
Frustration absurdity
Everything has a season
Purposed under Heaven
Ecclesiastes, Solomon's searching
Just like your life

#290: Rites of Death - Antestor

Rites of Death
Antestor

Genre: Dark Metal


Rites of death, rites of undeath
We're falling, we're falling down

I told you we're in too deep
Transfer life into what's dead
The act of human playing God

Redoing the acts of medieval
Witchcraft and the worship of dead

We're falling, we're falling down
From our throne, so supposedly high
When we confront the power great
The might of our own creator

Transfer life into what's dead
The act of human playing God

The rites of undeath
Is the testament of our own death
