#220: Field Of Blood - In The Midst of Lions

Field Of Blood
In The Midst of Lions

Genre: Deathcore



Now you stand upon the ground where the betrayer met his end.
He took his life on the field of blood.
By his own hand he has brought on an excruciating end.
He took his life on the field of blood.

Memories of the events that compose the last days of his life cloud his eyes.
And will not be forgotten, for they’re burned in his mind... in his mind.
For Satan did penetrate the darkest corners of his mind.

Thoughts of betrayal. Betrayal that brought my Saviour’s life to a close.
Thoughts of betrayal. Betrayal that found a price in silver.
But in this decomposing world of now, this resembles a shell of my life.
But in this decomposing world of now, this resembles a shell of my life.

Why are my actions not what I know to be righteous?
My Saviour’s blood is now on my hands.
Why are my actions not what I know to be righteous?
My Saviour’s blood is now on my hands.

I am the betrayer. I am the betrayer.
It is my sin that holds him to that cross.
I don’t deserve what You have done for me... have done for me.
But through Your grace and Your love You have saved me.
You have saved me.

#219: An Abstract Struggle - Earth From Above

Earth From Above

Genre: Deathcore



Is this what you call perfection?
How can you take something so beautiful, and turn it into darkness?
We were given the world, but we destroyed it.
We were given immortality, but we threw it away.
We were given life, but we killed ourselves.

Everything that our fathers fought for is now distinct and forgotten.
Everything that our fathers died for, is now buried in our ignorance.

Blood was shed on this ground. Blood was shed on this ground.
Blood was shed on this ground. Blood was shed on this ground.
There is an abstract struggle within men, within men.
There is an abstract struggle within men.
There is a war that has been ongoing for ages.
When will we learn that our fight is against a different kind of enemy?
(An abstract struggle. We’ll understand. When we see Christ. When our day comes).

"All wars are civil wars. For all men are brothers."
"All wars are civil wars. For all men are brothers."
The faithful overcome adversity, while others stumble in their own, their own path.
The faithful overcome adversity, while others stumble in their own, their own path.
Evil prevails when good men choose to do nothing.
Evil prevails when good men choose to do nothing.
Evil prevails when good men choose to do nothing.
Evil prevails when good men choose to do nothing.

#218: Pangaea - As They Sleep

As They Sleep

Genre: Melodic Death Metal


No lyrics yet, I may try to transcribe this; input would be appreciated

#217: The Antidote - Earth From Above

Earth From Above

Genre: Deathcore



We were raised by a belief system that fails to pour out the truth.
Do not be misled. Your faith in Christ will save you.
Your antics don’t impress me, you really don’t impress me.
Do not be misled. Your faith in Christ will save you.

So slowly yet surely, this disease begins to demean us.
All along, the antidote was there.
So many of our hearts have been broken.
Far too many lies have been spoken.
The Gospel has power to change these lives.

There are no words left for all of mankind to utterly describe
how merciful and noble the Father is.
Yet your filthy testimony has
suppressed the love that has been so gracefully given... given.

The times that we have wasted and the lives that we have taken away.
In the end we’re all dying, dying for purity.
The times that we have wasted and the lives that we have taken away.
In the end we all are dying, dying for purity.

We were raised by the belief system that fails to pour out the truth.
Do not be misled. Your faith in Christ will save you.
We are walking bombs. Who will save us from our demise?
We are walking bombs. Who will save us from our demise?
I’ve got news for you. I’ve got news for you.
I’ve got news for you. I’ve got news for you.
The burden has been lifted. The burden has been lifted.
The burden has been lifted. The burden has been lifted.

I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.

But the blood of Christ has washed away my shame.
But the blood of Christ has washed away my shame.
So why stand here so filthy?
But the blood of Christ has washed away my shame.
So why stand here so filthy?

But the blood of Christ has washed away my shame.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.
I deserve hell for what I’ve done.

#216: A Thousand Deaths - As They Sleep

As They Sleep

Genre: Melodic Death Metal

(potential epilepsy warning)




Trapped in this life together as we struggle each and every day.
Will it ever get any better? Time will tell our fate.
Search for deliverance, anything to take the pain away.
Fight for the answers. Sign your life away.

How can we be so blind that we cannot see that happiness is so far from being free.
To have the life I’d die a thousand times.
What makes this world go ’round only corrupts our minds.
We give, you take. Can’t take this anymore.
The rich keep getting richer. The poor keep living poor.

Time will tell our fate. Can’t be pushed much further.
Every man has the right to change his ways.
Deception not the answer. Make the sacrifice.
Plow through the faithless. Spit in the face of agony.
It’s time to take back, take back what you gave.

How can we be so blind that we cannot see that happiness is so far from being free.
To have the life I’d die a thousand times.
What makes this world go ’round only corrupts our minds.
We give, you take. Can’t take this anymore.
The rich keep getting richer. The poor keep living poor.
Time will tell our fate.

Darkness controls all of man. A life that we've built upon sand.
Turning what’s left of this place into a life of eternal disgrace.
A race to be God among men. Greed will consume all it can.
Damnation a certain demise. Looking for truth in the midst of a lie.
Darkness controls all of man. A life that we've built upon sand.
Turning what's left of this place into a life of eternal disgrace.

Who will decide your self-worth?

#215: LifeWar - Demon Hunter

Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore



Born from the fire clean, crawling through the dirt like WAR.
5 years, my mother gave a voice for WAR.
10, I was dead, born again with eyes for WAR.
By 15, hate was the name of my WAR.

Wash me in the river, give me to the pain of LifeWar. LifeWar. Life...

20 years gone, and father told me life was like WAR.
Hands to the bone, 25 years of WAR.
30, I wake to the sound of souls at WAR.
I will pass through, buried with the flag of my WAR.

Wash me in the river, give me to the pain of LifeWar.
LifeWar. LifeWAR...War. LifeWar. LifeWar.... LifeWar....

#214: Herod's Demise - In The Midst of Lions

Herod's Demise
In The Midst of Lions

Genre: Deathcore



A diabolical ruler has arisen to corrupt this Holy Land.
With lies, deceit and violence he will reign.
His heart will be filled with hate and he will show no mercy for the weak.
With lies, deceit and violence he will reign.

Through spiteful action the blood of righteous men will spill upon the earth.
Ignorant of the end that awaits his wretched life.
His blasphemies are heard by the Father and will never be ignored.
The angels are descending from above and are commanded by the Alpha and Omega.

This man shall never see another day! This man shall never see another day!
Electricity is now streaming through every pore and there’s no turning back for this man.
The smell of burning flesh fills up the air and lifeforms rise up from the earth.
Up from the earth. Up from the earth. Up from the earth. Up from the earth.

Now tell me as the worms consume your flesh, do you fear my God now?
Now tell me as the worms consume your flesh, do you fear my God now?
Now tell me as the worms consume your flesh, do you fear my God now?
Now tell me as the worms consume your flesh, do you fear my God now?

#213: Burials - Earth From Above

Earth From Above

Genre: Deathcore



A sudden realization is changing our ways.
Have we deliberately darkened our own days?
And Now we’re only 48 hours away.
These times are dangerous for us.
Do not be led astray. (x2)

We have walked hand in hand with friends, sinners and transgressors.
The "righteous" despise Your name.
They question Your love for others.
1000 miles of tribulations have come down to this.
The time has come for us to see if prophecies really bring us bliss.
The serpent is roaming in the garden yearning to take control.
Hold fast for the Creator guards so no one will harm us anymore.
An alabaster box filled with the finest oils,
cannot begin to compare to the price of His holy blood.
With it He has prepared us all for our proper burials.

Oh, how I wish that I can save you now.
The truth is I can’t even save myself.
I lift up my head hoping to make eye contact with You.
This awkward silence sends chills down my spine.
All will be restored... it’s only a matter of time.
The One true hope for mankind.
This one thing I cannot deny.

So you’ve made this your personal endeavor:
safeguard these friends from their early graves.
So you have made this your personal endeavor:
safeguard your friends from their early graves.
Safeguard your friends from their early graves.
