#107: Threatened - Living Sacrifice

Threatened
Living Sacrifice

Genre: Thrash/Metalcore

Do what you want to do,
Say what you want to say to me
I know what you'd like
To think of me
This is not real it can't be real
This thing I feel
You're threatening
You're threatening
How can I not hate you, hate you
How can I not be free, be free
I know deep down inside
How God reveals himself
I know deep down inside
To know him I must kill pride
Why do you care so much for me,
What's in this for you
Why can't selfishness rule you
Like everybody else
Let go pride, let go pride,
Cannot deny, cannot deny
This thing I feel, I feel inside

I know deep down inside
How God reveals himself
I know deep down inside
To know him I must kill pride

#106: Death Machine - Living Sacrifice

Death Machine
Living Sacrifice

Death Metal/Metalcore

Note: In light of finding the lyrics on BandsOnFire, here they are: (this was previously a transcription effort, however.. no point in transcribing something that has lyrics.)



Moving parts all collide
Force of nature fueled by pride
Gears of greed oiled by deceit
This machine keeps moving
Fake facade are these clothes
that I’ll wear when they bury me
Cannot fool for another day
Cannot pretend that I got away

The death machine - steamrolls hate
The death machine - construction of fate
The death machine - never stops
The death machine - an end to a means
The death machine - never stops
The death machine is sin and I am he.

Imposter - hypocrites profess only words

The death machine - steamrolls hate
The death machine - construction of fate
The death machine - never stops
The death machine - an end to a means
The death machine - never stops
The death machine is sin and I am he.

Hallelujah - I’ve seen the light
Hallelujah - tie that knot extremely tight
Around my neck this rope feels tight
Jerk it hard pull it tight
Around my neck this rope feels right
I’m gonna see the bottom of the sea tonight
Hallelujah - I’ve seen the light
Hallelujah - I’m gonna be bottom of the sea tonight

#105: The South Will Rise - The Famine

The South Will Rise
The Famine

Death Metal

Drink it away
Medicate
A catalyst for it to operate
Sons of the fallen
Seed of the flies
The raven is calling
The south, it will rise

Crawling from darkness
Makes way to the surface
Feeding my weakness
Tells me I am powerless

Smoke it away
Medicate
A catalyst for it to operate
Sons of the fallen
Seed of the flies
The raven is calling
The south, it will rise

Its hand clutches ruin
Its grip laced with pain
Day in and day out
It's more of the same

The sins of the father
Bruise the back of the sons
No relief from the slaughter
I'm (you're) not the only one

#104: Ascend - The Famine

Ascend
The Famine

Genre: Death Metal

I tried to do it on my own
That time is wasted
My mind and evil has grown
I had to face it
Deliver me from this pain
Without You I have failed
Make me whole again

It's been so long since I've said Your name
I will return to You, run to your embrace
I will take shelter in Your wings
To soar above it and set me free

I want to drown in the floods of forgiveness
Pouring fire to my soul
My lungs are filled breathing in healing waters
Oh Lord tear it down, let it flow

From the valley of the dead I must ascend
Take it all away until there's nothing left
Remember things you said
Give me new hope oh Lord
Make me whole again

It's been so long since I've said Your name
I will return to You, run to your embrace
I will take shelter in Your wings
To soar above it and set me free

Now that time is wasted I had to face it

#103: Scar the Earth - The Famine

Scar the Earth
The Famine

Genre: Death Metal

Son of war
Stand at the front
Take it by force
Leave no one behind
Scar the earth with the sword
Bringing forth a rebirth

It's the dawn of a new day
The air smells of revolution
Our victory exposed by sun
Conquer the weight of the world
and the makings of man
All to yield new blood

Push and pull
cry out for God
To overthrow
Leave no one behind
Scar the earth with the sword
Bringing forth a rebirth

We will dance on the ashes of the wold way
Now freedom courses through these veins
It's a hope for things unseen
Now that our hearts are clean
Inhale the power and breath

Breath!
Breath in new life
Receive new blood

#102: Consume Devour Repeat - The Famine

Consume Devour Repeat
The Famine

Genre: Death Metal

Plans of man done in the darkness
Sleight of hand will be the process
Enemies created from ghosts
To lure the fools into hunting shadows

The target centuries old
Lust for power and control
Bow down and kiss the ring
Consume Devour Repeat

Hell-bent to dominate
Countless dead in the wake
Bow down and kiss the ring
Consume Devour Repeat

Giants of steel brought down to the earth
With a word from the mouth of a man
Swallowed up in the undertow
Where snarling fangs feast on the brave

My brother, my sister, my father, my son

The secrets buried beneath
In the wreckage where it sleeps
As your rats haul away
Evidence of a new dark day

#101: My Heartstrings Come Undone - Demon Hunter

My Heartstrings Come Undone
Demon Hunter

Genre: Rock

Note: I've gone a long time thinking that I'd posted this. Turns out I never did! And thus, here I am. Also, currently, I'm in preparation to go to what has potential to be the best concert ever: I'm going to see Demon Hunter on their Stronger Than Hell tour, which not only features Demon Hunter, but also Living Sacrifice, Oh, Sleeper (that's one band: Oh, Sleeper), The Famine, and Advent. Expect lyrics from those latter three soon, because as it turns out they're all good.
EDIT: As it turns out, 'Oh, Sleeper' didn't play after all.. however, the four that did were incredible. Easily my favorite concert out of all that I've been to, right up there with Switchfoot and Skillet. Oh, and Here I Come Falling/Showbread/Pillar who hang from the rafters at a Coffee house. Which was just plain awesome.



It's buried deep with in the past, I hope it doesn't last
It's something I already chase, I already chase
I try to give it all away, but it's never gonna fade
It's something I don't wanna face, I don't wanna face
I know you feel it's all the same, But I promise that'll change
It's something I already chase, I already chase
You know I'm trying to believe that you're never gonna leave
It's something I don't wanna face, I don't wanna face

There's nothing left! The fear is gone!

When my heartstrings come undone
I will wait for you, pray for you
Before I make my final run
I will stay with you, decay with you

I know I'm not the perfect one, This pain has just begun
It's something I already chase, I already chase
You bring me to a better path, It's everything I lack
It's something I don't wanna face, I don't wanna face

There's nothing left! The fear is gone!
There's nothing left! The fear is gone!

And when my heartstrings come undone
I will wait for you, pray for you
Before I make my final run
I will stay with you, decay with you

If you fade out without me, you'll know all about me
If you fade out without me, you'll know all...

And when my heartstrings come undone
I will wait for you, pray for you
Before I make my final run
I will stay with you, decay with you
And when my heartstrings come undone
I will wait for you, pray for you
Before I make my final run
I will stay with you, decay with you

#100: Summer of Darkness - Demon Hunter

Summer of Darkness
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore

Note: So I thought it appropriate to have Summer of Darkness posted on the first day of summer for Seniors of high school. I'm.. not totally sure. It's almost summer break for the rest of the grades, though, so it's pretty close for that as well. Also, song #100.



I'll be the one last breath before this death
I'll be the final glimpse of truth when there's none left
And if I shame your face, degrade your faith
I'll be the first to hide behind disgrace.
Blood loss - on account of my failing aim.
Treason - at the root of my shameful name.

I found my way to fall.
I never meant to break your heart.

[CHORUS:]
Breathing in this pain (rejecting all I am)
I hear you cry again (Is this my final stand?)
Before I go (Before I lose it all)
You should know ( I hate myself for hurting you)

I see the burn of the light from from within my grave
I feel the pain of contradiction despite decay
And if the shadow of doubt will betray this gain
Then put an end to me how while the hope remains.
Blood loss - on account of my failing aim.
Treason - at the root of my shameful name.

[CHORUS]

This is not my life
This is not our life
Every day I die
This is not my life.
