#201: Feeling The Fire - Metanoia

Feeling The Fire

Metanoia

Genre: Heavy Metal

Another one to transcribe, but the few songs this band plays in this style I absolutely love.

Started trying to transcribe it, but pretty much everything is work-in-progress.

As the sun rises high in the sky

And the moon spills its light by night

As the waves wash upon the shore

I will cling to you with all my might

In times of trouble, in times of doubt

When life struggles over again

(?) the spirit within

I will cling to you with all my might

Feeling the fire in my soul

Feeling the fire in my soul

Feeling the fire in my soul

Feeling the fire in my soul

Give me strength, Lord, to do you work

By your power and holy name

Jesus you died, crucified

I will cling to you with all might

Sometimes I fail, sometimes I fall

You're always there to hear my call

Without you Lord, I am (?)

I will cling to you with all my might

Feeling the fire in my soul

Feeling the fire in my soul

Feeling the fire in my soul

Feeling the fire in my soul

(...?)

Feeling the fire in my soul

Feeling the fire in my soul

Feeling the fire in my soul

Feeling the fire in my soul

#200: Rules of Engagement - Living Sacrifice

Rules of Engagement

Living Sacrifice

Genre: Metalcore

Expectations of actions – that conform
Foreign beliefs – put in position to be killed
You have to go – you have to fight
There’s no one else that’s capable
No one else would even dare

Put your life on the line without a word
Silent and stealth / Just like you were trained to kill

Your hands are tied / You’ve been compromised
As the bullets rain down on your hide

Twenty yards and counting / The ememy rears his head
Black eyes glaring hate / In his heart

Blood and sweat mixed with earth / Bloody mess, stench of death
Blood and sweat mixed with earth / Searing flesh is what you’re worth

Your hands are tied / You’ve been compromised
As the bullets rain down on your hide
Your hands are tied / You’ve been compromised
As the bullets rain down on your hide

Engage...

Sent to defend / Trained to kill by the ones who called you an animal

Your hands are tied / You’ve been compromised
As the bullets rain down on your hide
Your hands are tied / You’re gonna die
By decisions made in someone elses mind

#199: Judge Me Not - Metanoia

Judge Me Not

Metanoia

Genre: Metal

I can't seem to find lyrics for this album, but if I do, I'll put them up. Their MySpace seems like it's in a state of disrepair. I quite like this band, though. I may try to transcribe it later.

Update: starting transcription, input would be appreciated, easier stuff first.. this is a work in progress. Anything here should not be considered to be entirely accurate.

He died for you and He took the pain

Sacrificed upon a bloody cross

His flesh was torn and ripped apart

Blood and tears flowed down His face

Sacrificed (..?)

Crucified (..?)

I want you for once to wake up and understand

We are saved by grace and not our hands

Spiritual beings, the flesh will rot and die

Judgement can only be by the living God

Saved by grace alone

Judge me not

(Judge me not)

(..?)

Judged by the words of our Savior

(..?) love one another

Judge me not (free me)

(..?)

embrace your bondage and sets me free.. free, free

Free

(..?)

#198: Sick World - Acoustic Torment

Sick World

Acoustic Torment

Genre: Death Metal

Note: their website has their albums up for digital sale, pay-what-you-want style. Both albums are also fully streamable on the site.

child abusing. the sick man. his thoughts.
the criminal perverted act. rapes and kills.
no one heard the cry. no one saw the tears.
no one, no one heard ...

the scream, the scream, the scream
the scream in a sick world.
full of violence, full of perversion.
satan goes around
searching for inhuman machines.

everyone is searching for answeres.
answeres from this world
but satan´s influence has come
to manipulate the minds,
and no one asks for jesus christ.
that´s the problem, that´s the truth,
this will be our death.

break down marriges. divorce. lost children
without support, without love, hatred growes.
no one hears the cry. no one sees the tears.
no one hears ...

the scream, the scream, the scream.
the scream in a sick world
full of hate, full of infidelity.
satan goes around
searching for inhuman machines.

#197: The First Commandment - Acoustic Torment

The First Commandment

Acoustic Torment

Genre: Death Metal

This band does not seem well-known.. but they certainly deserve more attention than they're getting. I think they're rather amazing. Their website: http://www.acoustic-torment.de/

I am the Lord, I am your God.
I am the Lord, the almighty God.
I am the Way, I am the Truth,
I am the Life, I am ...

Jesus Christ

I am the Son, I am the Father.
I am your God and there is no other.
I am the Son, I am the Father.
I am your God and there is no other.
Salvation is found in no one else,
for there is no other name
by which you must be saved.
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life;
no one comes to the Father except through me.

Watch out for false prophets
coming to you in sheep's clothing
but inwardly they are ferocious wolves
teaching things they ought not to teach.

I am the Lord, I am your God.
I am the Lord, the only God.
I am the Truth, I am the Life
I am the Way, the only Way.

You shall have no other gods before me.

I am the Son, I am the Father.
I am your God and there is no other.
I am the Son, I am the Father.
I am your God and there is no other.
Salvation is found in no one else,
for there is no other name
by which you must be saved.
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life;
no one comes to the Father except through me.

See to it that no one takes you captive
through hollow and deceptive philosophy,
which depends on human tradition
and the basic principles of this world
rather than on Christ.

I am the Way - follow me.
I am the Truth - trust me.
I am the Life - love me.
I am the one and only God.

#196: The Serpent Servant - Impending Doom

The Serpent Servant

Impending Doom

Genre: Deathcore

Note: I thought it fitting to make a Thanksgiving post, as one of the things I'm most thankful for is incredible music. So here's an incredible song.

Dress me in your cloak, induct me into your cult.

Use an open tomb as my throat,

the laws that I live by will not replace the reason he died,

brainwash me with set standards and a loss of hope.

Then put me under this microscope.

Do I fit the perfect description?

Poster boy for your artificial religion.

Do I fit the perfect description? Never!

You filled the world with fervent deceit,

now the serpent and the servant meet.

Now the serpent and the servant meet.

Behold your end when you seduce with corruption.

Behold your end when you seduce with corruption.

False light draws false life.

False light draws false life.

When the depths have risen we will bring down the heavens.

When the depths have risen we will bring down the heavens.

The laws that I live by will not replace the reason he died.

Brainwash me with set standards.

False light draws false life.

False light draws false life.

Hell Must Fear Me!

Hell must fear us all.

Serpent servant bring your fury.

Hell must fear me!

#195: Agape - For Today

Agape

For Today

Genre: Deathcore

Can we payback more than can be measured?
If we could love
If we could love
There is an amount of love
An amount of grace
Beyond all meaning
Beyond all measure
If we could even grasp it
There would be more pleasure
There is no greater love than
laying your life down for a friend
If we loved God to a teaspoon
of his overflowing cup
What would this world then see?
Our land of sorrow and turmoil
would swirl to a community of joy
Open our eyes to glisten
Open our hearts to receive
Open our mouths to smile
This is a love that none can fathom
How can we repay
Love the Lord your God
With all your heart
All your soul
All your mind
All your strength

#194: Revelations - The Crimson Armada

Revelations

The Crimson Armada

Genre: Technical Deathcore

Dearly beguiled, we're gathered to commemorate

this blessing that became the greatest of mistakes.

The sword soul and flesh have since then become one.

This impasse has become the single source for slandered tongue.

Now we are being slowly erased with what we were made.

This impasse will trickle flames and offer us a testing taste.

Now this is what they had spoken of.

But when the sun gives out we rise.

This is our forthcoming. We rise.

This is the end. Or is it just the end of?

This is the end. This is the end. Or is it just the end of?

Time will taint and seconds force open our eyes.

The core of light will break and force the world to realize.

Lubricating lungs with sweet venomistic wine.

Meets pounding sheets as it captivates.

Into the casket this case confines each and every thought.

Asphyxiated. My mind slowly begins to rot.

And all will rot and writhe until we rise.

A day will come when the dead will rise up from the earth.

And all will witness the reversal of decrepit birth.

A day will come and soon everyone will realize

that in living we have crafted our own self-demise.

A day will come when the dead will rise.

A day will come when the dead will rise up from the earth.
