#317: Scorned - Broken Flesh

Scorned
Broken Flesh

Genre: Death Metal



As I have breathed my final breath
Chained within my own sin
No more time, no second thoughts, no repentance
My misery will carry on for all time
My soul starts to burn

This anguish is too much to bear
If only I had one more day
Trapped inside gnashing of teeth, eternal shame
I should have answered the call
My soul starts to burn

BURN - This hell feels very real
The pain does not fade away
BURN - The screams of those engulfed in flames
My own flesh melts away
BURN - This torment is too much to bear
My God why did I deny you

As I have breathed my final breath
Chained within my own sin
No more time, no second thoughts, no repentance
My misery will carry on for all time
My soul starts to burn
Oh God why did I deny you

#316: Isolation - Separatist

Isolation
Seaparatist

Genre: Technical Deathcore

Money from all paid downloads are donated to the A21 Campaign to support the war against Human Trafficking/Sex Slavery

Confined within this desiccant husk
This godforsaken artefact of what once stood
A sutra of isolation and absence
We have become the thrall of famine and drought

The Earth that we once enslaved has fallen
Consumed by our own insatiable starvation

Our focus shifts
To ingest the weak and the inanimate
Those who cannot resist
We turn to our own fragile veins
Drinking deep the arterial libation
Dissecting the lesser among us

Spanning beyond this infinite horizon
Sustenance lies in deficit

Excise the feast locked within the flesh
Death of the weak to feed the strong
We are the scavengers of our own mortality

Isolation

Flocking like vultures to feed on our own skin
Where sustenance lies in deficit
We have become the thrall of absence

#315: Aperi Oculos - Solomon

Aperi Oculos
Solomon

Genre: Deathcore



Say goodbye, because it's all over now
I saw the light, became blind, and sewed my eyes shut.
There's no peace inside this throbbing chest,
I feel nothing but the sting of regret
My void of sanity is lost among death's vanity.
My eyes are closed and open to calamity.

Turning my life over to embrace the darkness.
Between the seams, I've seen the disease
That rots beneath the lifeless "me" in my dreams.
I'm so focused on making the wrong plans with idle hands
And I've got this feeling my whole life is ending

You can take my eyes, but you can't take my soul.

These strings will never harness my dreams
Of being martyred for the sake of my beliefs.
I'm yet another Chief of sinners, a member of the human race
I'm another of God's people to turn my back and run away.
Time and time again, I continue to prove
That mankind is jaded with a soul they're prone to lose.

I am but a blind man with idle hands, but here and now,
I promise I will see again

The scalpel on this table is starting to glimmer through my eyelids.
With every slide of the knife,
I will rectify my blindness through necessary bloodshed.

Even through the bleeding,
I am able to look upon beauty with relief
More so than the blind men who still cling to deceit.
My thoughts are clear, and there's nothing left to fear.
I'm one of the few men left in this room with crimson tears.

I still hear the all present voice telling me,
To tell the men trapped in this room that they are free.
Tear for tear, blood for blood, I'm not the only one.
I will escort freedom by the time my life is done.

The scalpel in my hand, takes on the significance of spit and sand.
A recycled miracle from a man living in heaven.

EYES WIDE OPEN.

#314: In the Hands of Godzilla - How the West Was Won

In the Hands of Godzilla
How the West Was Won

Genre: Metalcore


You're falling faster now than your wings can carry you.
To a place where none can save you. To a place beyond rescue.

Into a darkness only Hell can claim, to a place without face or name.
This is where all love ends. This is where your Hell begins.
So wave goodbye to all your vanity, and prepare to embrace misery.
This is where all love ends, this is where your Hell begins.

And now your time has come there is nowhere to run (2x)
your nightmares share the face off all the evil that you've done.
You'll beg, you'll plead. But look in my eyes they'll be the last thing you'll see.

We will chase you to the ends of earth.
Grab a flame and watch your kingdom burn.
Claps the bridges leave no stone unturned.
We've got a message and it will be heard.

Into a darkness only Hell can claim, to a place without face or name.
This is where all love ends. This is where your Hell begins.
So wave goodbye to all your vanity, and prepare to embrace misery.
This is where all love ends, this is where your Hell begins.

This cry goes out to every soul that's been stolen by this coward.
Unite and arise to bring this kingdom's demise.
We will bring the war to his door steps.
For not even the gates off Hell can hold us back.

Your thieving hands and lying lips.
Left me helpless and without defense.
Your betraying kiss was so inviting but from it I'm no longer thriving.

I found a new Father and his light is true and pure.
His hands hold all power and his sword will run you through.

The Blood Has Been Shed
Toarn

Genre: Metalcore


To the girl with the blood in her tears
Cutting her arms with the pain of her years
She searches for release
She thinks life is her disease

To the boy with the bullet and the gun
Don't pull the trigger my son
Your story has just begun

The blood has been shed
The blood has been shed

The blood has been shed
The pain you've fed
The pain you've... the blood has been shed

The blood has been shed
He died for you
The blood has been shed
You are loved, it's true

YOU ARE LOVED
IT'S TRUE

To the boy, to the girl
The blood has been shed
The pain you have fed
The blood has been... Shed

The blood has been shed
This pain you have fed, The blood has been...

The knife, the gun
Redeemed by...

The knife, the gun
Redeemed by the One


To the girl, to the boy
The blood has been shed
The blood has been shed
The pain you have fed, the blood has been
Shed.

#312: Counter - A Better Tomorrow

Counter
A Better Tomorrow

Genre: Deathcore

Note: For anyone interested in deathcore, the Christian Deathcore promotion page has released an excellent free 40-band 2.5 hour compilation. Donations go toward supplying more free downloads.



Love, and be like Christ,

it's the only way to save our soul. Love.

I know in this world it can be quite hard
to express Christ love and get very far,
but we can't give up, no we can't give up,
it's our duty to show his love.

In this place so full of hate,
it's so hard to communicate,
mention your a Christian and you get shut down,
ignorance is so profound.

The devil is full of hatred and our God overflowing with love.
Our God has mercy, power, and glory,
but the devil has nothing.
I will live his mercy, I will live his love.

We must show Christ love.

Hate will not rule this world.
Hate will not rule this world.
Hate is a tool that's used by the devil,
manipulates your soul and drags you to hell.
I will not be manipulated by your hatred.

This world is full of hate but I will not hate it back.
We must love one another to survive.
This world is full of hate but I will not hate it back.

#311: Falling Stars - This Divided World

Falling Stars
This Divided World

Genre: Deathcore


The great deceiver leads the elect away

With false prophecy and false doctrine
And in the end he doesn't care who dies
Because in the end we all are crucified

Like dominoes their statues fall to your lies
Falling, crashing to the Earth
Welcome to your temporary inheritance

A giant hand sweeps the darkness across
And the sheep run but the Shepherd is strong
Much of this world caves, and is led away to a broad road
Filled with luke-warm waters, drink to your heart's content

Oh deceiver, oh liar, oh falling star
Your cunning lies are not enough for me

I will enter through the gates from where you fell
I will walk and live where you will never walk again

You are the father of lies, your heart's the birthplace of sin
You are the father of lies

He will regain all that you stole
Where Love is you cannot go

Where I am destined you are turned away
For the Gatekeeper will not know your face
As you have chosen to not know His
The gatekeeper will not know your face

You are not able to return
From where you fell
For you have chosen
The path of pride that leads to Hell

Lies are your eulogy

#310: Derived From Misery - Eyes Of The Defiled

Derived From Misery
Eyes Of The Defiled

Genre: Deathcore


You have betrayed me once again...

but I fear that this is where it all ends (where it all ends)
I've let you slip away from my hands (from my hands)

Now you're all alone and stranded
Scream for help... karma has left you abandoned

Step back... you've done enough... I can handle it from here
Step back... you've done enough... I can handle it from here

This is goodbye... for the last time
Don't ask me why you can't change my mind
Call me when your will is done
Don't ask me why you can't change my mind
Call me when your will is done

I've told you time and time again...
Take your punishment
Look at the bloodshed

I sold my soul to my savior
He gave his soul to save us all

I have come a long way... constantly looking over my shoulder
Everyone is out to get me... but I swear that this isn't over
but I swear that this isn't over

You brought this madness upon yourself
You brought this madness upon yourself
I will seek... my revenge
I will seek... my revenge... here it comes... once again

You brought this madness upon yourself (upon yourself)

#309: Aequitas - Romero

Aequitas
Romero

Genre: Deathcore/Grindcore

Never, let the blood
Of the innocent, be shed
Yet let the wicked's flow
Like a river, to carry the corpses of their dead

We don't want your hungry
Or your weak
It is evil that we seek

And with every breath that we breathe
We swear, to hunt it down

Now we end this, heretic
Abomination unto God
You hide behind your cowardice
You have taken many lives
But tonight we take back what is ours

We are the army of God
Not to be compared to legion
So as you look into my eyes
Take your final breath
And try to tell me that my God isn't real

So bless those, that live for their brothers
And curse those, who take evil as lovers

Every last soul that has been stolen
Will be avenged and justice will be claimed

So prince of this world fear us
For I will hang your corpse
As a mockery of evil

#308: Incorruptible - The Flesh of Kings

Incorruptible
The Flesh of Kings

Genre: Deathcore


He was unwavering

His dedication to the King
Never faltering.
and this would be
His final legacy
to be remembered
By how he embraced the end.
No fear in the face of eternity,
& he would not be forsaken.

And ever more shall he sing in the presence of glory.
Now this corruptible must put on incorruption.

This is the fate that awaits the faithful,
EVERLASTING LIFE through the Christ,
through the willing sacrifice. PROPHESY,
this is the fate that awaits the faithful,
FOR WE WILL NEVER DIE
but shed this flesh as a filthy garment.

This life will fade away,
but unto those who remain
a judgement awaits.

And ever more shall he sing in the presence of glory
Now this corruptible has become incorruptible.

#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

#304: Beheaded - Demon Hunter

Beheaded
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore


In the never-ending circle where
The powerless meet
There grows a struggle from the burden
Of sustaining defeat
In the face of every coward lies the
Blindest of hate
And in the eyes a sharpened image of
The damage they made
You look at me to bear the burden of the suffering past
It wasn't me behind the veil
Of a heartless mask
And where were you the day that everybody
Cursed your name?
You were the distant voice of pride
That never stood the shame.

The weak of the mind will use fist
And the fist of the frail will bring gun
The loudest of guns provoke bombs
And in wrath he will chase until it's done.

Your history is dead.
Dead wrong.
Dead - dead wrong.
Philosophy is dead.
Dead wrong.
Dead - dead wrong.

Within the mind of modern culture
There's an idle cog
It is the section of humanity that never forgot
And in the midst of moving forward we have given the right
To let the wolves attack the sheep and bury guilt inside
I won't forget the twisted picture of the filth that we were
Or disregard the fading voices of the people we hurt
But I was never pulling triggers or degrading your face.
Don't look at me to give the reason for the pain that you trace.

The weak of the mind will use fist
And the fist of the frail will bring gun
The loudest of guns provoke bombs
And in wrath he will chase until it's done.

Your history is dead.
Dead wrong.
Dead - dead wrong.
Philosophy is dead.
Dead wrong.
Dead - dead wrong.

The scars outlive the pain.
Reflections will remain.
The scars outlive the pain.
Your sickness will remain.

Dead - dead wrong.

#303: Wasted Time - Gethsemane

Wasted Time
Gethsemane

Genre: Hardcore/Deathcore


The Kingdom stands with me, I see you standing there
The Kingdom stands with me, I see you standing there
You sound like Satan

The answer's staring you in the face
Denying His commands you deny this Faith
Power that's been given from above to change the world
You're so stubborn, you're so stubborn
You're such a little girl

You've wasted so much time, it's not about you
Lead the chosen, Narrow's the gate to go through

So I'm moving on with these red letters written
These man made religion ways; you sound like Satan
'Cause we have the power and authority
and I stand here, the Kingdom stands with me
We are not of this world, we live from eternity

You deny the Glory, you call yourself a believer
You deny Glory, you deny the Maker
You're so stubborn, you're such a little girl,
You've wasted so much time, so much time
You're so stubborn, you're so stubborn
You've wasted so much time

These man made religion ways; you sound like Satan
'Cause we have the power and authority
and I stand here, the Kingdom stands with me
We are not of this world, we live from eternity
You've been wasting so much time
With the power that's been given from above
To change the world

'Cause we have the power and authority
and I stand here, the Kingdom stands with me
We are not of this world, we live from eternity
You've wasted so much time, so much,
I say when stepping away from the mirror
Away from the mirror, Father make me change

#302: Whom I Am Chief - Unto the Beast

Whom I Am Chief
Unto the Beast

Genre: Deathcore


I don't even know your names
and I don't care you're all the same
and I feel so inclined to state
that I'm the type of person you all should
HATE
HATE
FEAR
You all should hate me
YOU ALL SHOULD HATE ME

I am the type of man you should try and keep your
children far away from but I'm here to stand
in front of you and proclaim the life that Christ
has changed in me.

Hear me now my cry for thee is to be free from tyranny
My wrath it haunts me through the darkest of the night.

Even though spirit and flesh rage inside. My tongue
will always struggle to abide I hide not myself from the
face of the sun and boast only in the God that I love.

You hide yourself from on looking eyes and paint
on a face with church pews and tithes.
Religion means nothing when rotted inside
and though you smile and shout out your prayers
the most evil I've seen is in your private affairs
And when that mocking bird don't sing
You'll cry cuz daddy didn't buy you a ring.

Deep in my heart darkness resides in me
Fear me
Deep in my heart these chains they set me free
Fear me

I am murder I am sin
I am hatred I am Strife
I'm the fingers that grasp to the knife
I'm the gnashing of teeth in the night
I am murder I am sin

I can only boast of my God
for I have illustrated death
now I'm obliged to do what's right
for Lions lay with Lambs tonight.
Judge me not for I know I've sinned
but Christ has brought me hope again

all streams run into the sea but the sea
remains unfilled
what has been does is what will be done
there's nothing new under the sun
Of sinners I know, I am chief
I boast not myself, I boast only grief.

#301: Surface - Immortal Guardian

Surface
Immortal Guardian

Genre: Death/Power Metal


Reaching, helplessly reaching for nothing
Falling, I've gone beneath the surface
Breathing, another breath could be the last
Sinking, my body sinks deeper from...

The darkness is holding me under
No one but you to save me
The bright light is shining before me
Adversity shall not overcome

Freezing, ice cold descent into the sea
Screaming, no one can hear me scream
Hoping, but no one is here to see me
Giving in, sights of the sun fade away

The darkness is holding me under
No one but you to save me
The bright light is shining before me
Adversity shall not overcome

Weakened my body fails to overcome this destiny
My destiny confined to walls of endless sea
The ocean shows no mercy to my heartfelt plea
And nothing can save me now but then I see...

You

#300: Deceiver - Impending Doom

Deceiver
Impending Doom

Genre: Deathcore


This is the last time you'll see my face
And the last time you hear my voice
Your words are weak and pathetic and
When you speak I can see you're desperate
For attention you won't get

The filth you speak
Comes straight from Hell
Your walls are weak and I can tell

So many say this is the last generation
Pray you die before you're part of the last ones
Follow me and the ending signs
Come and cone in the blink of an eye
The first evil has already fallen
The voice below soon will be calling
Stay cold, you will never die
Stay cold, you were never alive

The filth you speak
Comes straight from Hell
Your walls are weak and I can tell

The filth you speak
Comes straight from Hell
Your walls are weak and we can tell

When you're dead and gone
No one will be there but the snake
The devil, deceiver, unholy one

No more cliches or empty explanations
No need to waste my breath on the situation
You disguise yourself as someone you're not
A facade to boost your little ego
The first evil has already fallen
The voice below soon will be calling
Stay cold, you will never die
Stay cold, you were never alive

Dead bodies stacked ten feet tall
Now the devil's at your funeral

#299: Blood Money - My Heart to Fear

Blood Money
My Heart to Fear

Genre: Metalcore


Why do we paint the walls of our churches
With the tears of the starving children
Your genocide establishment

Day by day,
You grow more complacent
Night by night,
The money's wasted
Repent, repent
Where is your heart

Look me in the face
Tell me that you're doing all you can to show God's grace
You are the disease;
We are the vaccine

The lies hung above your head
Are the millstone to break your neck
In the end all your wealth
Will only be coals
That fuel the fire
To burn down your walls
All of your wealth
Will only be coals
That fuel the fire
To burn down your walls

Where is your heart
I disassociate all of your mistakes
From what I represent here on this stage
And when the day is done
Where are the ones you loved
All I see are dollar signs scribed on every page

You are the disease
Love is the vaccine
Where is your heart

#298: Justifiers - Ace Augustine

Justifiers
Ace Augustine

Genre: Metalcore


I've been to the bottom, where I fought my past.
Reaping the silence is how I finished last.
Go away, you've done your damage here.
Leave this place, you've cost us so much fear.

All these days I've been hiding from you, from the truth.
The weight that my heart holds is devastating.
You fooled me once, you've fooled me twice.
And to think I'd fall for your games again.
Abandon your cargo, this place is rigged.

To my Father, You've seen the worst in me.
Captive inside this place, the blueprints failed me, there's no escape.
Captive inside this place, the blueprints failed me, there's no escape.

Where will I go when I'm gone?
Where will I turn to in these hard times?
For Jesus Christ, my savior.
I've found my home and it lies in You... lies in You.

I'll stand my ground, I am who I am, and you won't change me.
I'll stand my ground, I am who I am, and you won't change me.
I'll stand my ground, I am who I am, and you won't change me.

He who will not reflect is a broken man.
Who are you to judge me, your lies are spilling through your eyes.
Who are you to judge me, your lies are spilling through your eyes.
The tables have turned (the tables have turned),
I'm not your pawn (your pawn), I won't play games any longer.
