#306: David's Frozen Sword - The Order of Elijah

David's Frozen Sword
The Order of Elijah

Genre: Deathcore


I'll turn your respect into shame

I am the murder; bind your soul, I am
I am the maker, deep in your wound, I am

And now the mountain falls on all that you've denied
A simple glance burns the retinas from your eyes

Unto this gift to die,
Is there anything that we will not take for granted?
(You are called)
Wading through all of the scars of your own life
I tell you my friends,
Death will take us all

A man must ask himself, is this what I've become?
I beg you ask just once, is this what you've become?

You were called uncalled until the time that you stood before yourself
You were called uncalled until the time that you stood before yourself

Respect, despair, and your doubt
Is what divides you from me
Respect, despair, and your doubt
Is what divides you from me

Fear not
Fear not, I'm the first, the last
What is, what was
What is, what was, what always will be
Fear not, I'm the first, the last,
The answers in your heart,
I am what was, what is, what always will be

(Sample) You're all going to die down here

I tell you once more
Death will take us all...

#305: Crucifix - Demon Hunter

Crucifix
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore


We will trample on our children till this world is flooded red
No boundary for depravity, no silence for the dead
Now weep for the life that you've lead
We will follow vacant voices into our shallow graves
Reiterate the verses of some self-consuming slave
Now pay for the Hell that you praise

Every curse, lie, violation of our lives
Every careless error of breath, corruption of our minds
All the blood and the shame, defamation of name
The weight of a wicked world
Embodied on a thankless crucifix
Embodied on a blood-soaked crucifix

The sacrament is broken, and all I see is red
The idols of humanity, they tower overhead
Now weep for the life that you've lead
The gates have severed open, setting death upon this place
Compelling us to hope in a revolting human race
Now pay for the Hell that you praise

Every curse, lie, violation of our lives
Every careless error of breath, corruption of our minds
All the blood and the shame, defamation of name
The weight of a wicked world
Embodied on a thankless crucifix
Embodied on a blood-soaked crucifix
Thine eyes have seen

Sometimes I close my eyes to escape this crooked place
It seems these fools… well, they never learn
I guess it's easy to see the world the way I do
The emptiness is a promise, the sin is just the proof

Embodied on a thankless crucifix
Thine eyes have seen
