#132: Ex Nihilo - Becoming the Archetype

Ex Nihilo

Becoming the Archetype

Genre: Progressive Metalcore

The time has come
Arise from death
Victory is close at hand
Take up the sword and follow me
Out of nothing into a new creation
A thousand decades of despair will pass away in an instant
And You and I will be there
With hands raised in victory
Fall on your knees
The time has come

#131: Elegy - Becoming the Archetype

Elegy

Becoming the Archetype

Genre: Progressive Metal

[Part I: Deception]

Death reigns over the earth
Opressing justice and truth
Nations plagued by despair
Are collapsing hopelessly into themselves
We watch while sanity dies
Forever lost upon the Earth
Countless souls embracing condemnation
One by one marching to the grave
Into the Mouth of the ruin that feeds upon the Damned and the Deceived
And they will cry there is no life here only death
Deceived
Wide is the path that leads to destruction
Wide is that pathway down into the pit of despair

[Part II: Lament]

[Part III: Triumph]

#130: My Nemesis - Impending Doom

My Nemisis [Video]

Impending Doom

Genre: Deathcore

Note: I'm not sure if it should be My Nemesis or My Nemisis. BOTH are on Last.fm, and I don't think there's a difference.. so I'm just going to use both.

I've felt his presence, I've heard his whispers,
Slithered inside me, he's crowded my mind.

Poisoning, Haunting, Deceiving, he has a burning desire for my soul,
An enemy who takes all control.
He hates everything I am, he hates everything you are,

In the Almighty Savior's name

In the Almighty Savior's name
I hope I scare the hell out of you.

In the Almighty Savior's name.

And you'll crush the head of the one strangling you,
From breathing the breath of life,
The one who blinds you from seeing heaven and the Father reaching for you,

This creature is-is dead to me, bowing before-bowing before my God,
He has made my-my footstool.
Reach for the Father, who's reaching for you.

#129: Nocturne - Becoming the Archetype

Nocturne

Genre: Instrumental

#128: Forever - As I Lay Dying

Forever

As I Lay Dying

Genre: Metalcore

Note: I wanted to post up their "re-recorded" version of Forever, but sadly, it isn't on Last.fm. Thus, I believe that the one linked to is the old version.

Forever your eyes will hold the memory
I saw your heart as it overtook me
We tried so hard to understand and reason
But in the one moment I gave my heart away
The perfect breath where my mind lay beside me
And all I knew is what had overtaken me
With no explanation
I am comforted by my inability to understand
When I wake from this dream will you still be here?
Will your smile still open my heart
And leave me trasparent?

#127: St. Anne's Lullaby - Becoming the Archetype

St. Anne's Lullaby

Becoming the Archetype

Genre: Instrumental

Note: To be honest, I was going to post Ransom, but then I got lazy.. I might post it up over the weekend. Either way, this is a great song, and I find that it sometimes helps me sleep when I have trouble.

#126: Deep Heaven - Becoming the Archetype

Deep Heaven

Becoming the Archetype

Genre: Progressive Metal

Awakened from the shadows
Leaving behind that cold and silent planet
Moving through infinity
Into the embrace of heaven

Eternity has overtaken me
Eternity is inside of me

My eyes have been illuminated
To reality; the fallen state of earth

Revelation penetrates the silence
Cuts to the center of my spirit
Destroys my previous conception of existence

Until this moment all that I have known
Is death's attempt at imitating life
(And for the first time I am truly alive)

Eternity has overtaken me
Eternity is inside of me

#125: HTML Rulez d00d - The Devil Wears Prada

HTML Rulez d00d

The Devil Wears Prada

Genre: Metalcore

Note: I am genuinely sorry that I can't provide a link to listen to this song on Last.fm. All I can say is, go and get the album on iTunes if you like metalcore. The band is great.

And yet I've been cleansed with the water
A purity no mind can grasp
A purity so cool upon my fingertips
The vision that I've seen: this is the action that spawns from the end
For the longest time, I've been watching the world breathe against (spiderwebs)
What lies here are mountains composed of tombstones
Examine these beautiful faces, keep singing now,
Keep singing.
Will we push bedlam noise to the state of blissfulness?
Display her beauty to the people
A purity no mind can grasp
