#302: Whom I Am Chief - Unto the Beast

Whom I Am Chief

Unto the Beast

Genre: Deathcore

Unto the Beast on: Facebook YouTube

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.

Surface

Immortal Guardian

Genre: Death/Power Metal

Immortal Guardian on: Facebook MySpace

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

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

My Heart to Fear on: Facebook MyHeart2Fear.com

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

Genre: Metalcore

Ace Augustine on: Facebook MySpace

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.

Hold on, my God is on its way
I swear help is on its way
I've been there before
dead on the inside
I've been lost without a cause
I've been left alone
without a place to call my home

Pick yourself up
as it pulls you down again
it's not its victory to claim
Controller, Controller
It is all it is
Build to bring you down
to turn you inside out
Controller and nothing more

As you're drowning deeper and deeper
the water reaches your neck
just hold on to your breath
my God is on its way

I've been there before
dead on the inside
I've been lost without a cause
I've been left alone
Without a place to call my home

Pick yourself up
as it pulls you down again
it's not its victory to claim
Controller, Controller
and nothing more

Hold on my God is on its way
I swear help is on its way
Hold on, my God is on its way
I swear help is on its way

I've been there before
dead on the inside
I've been lost without a cause
I've been left alone
without a place to call my home
But I've found EVERLASTING LOVE
PASSION, SHELTER, DIRECTION
I've found a KING above it all

Wait it out
for this one last time
Just wait it out
my dear just wait it out
For one day
O glorious day
our Father's promise
will bring us home again

glory to our God Almighy
glory to our Lord and Savior

Genre: Deathcore

Edit note: this is a Christian band. The band's explanation for their song (and a general QA) can be found on their YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=Q1Xx6NDnBxg#t=265s

You all can run your mouths, my ears are slowly burning
You all can bite your tongue, my wish is your mouth sired and rotting
I'll have the last words when your teeth have grinded from the lying
You'll wish you never said a word my life has not recited.
You powerless shells of men, your words are worthless
You've all become stains to my ears, if you know what's good for you
you'll lie in silence

And if you try and speak again, I'll break a bat off against your grin
And if you ever try and speak again, I'll break a bat off against your grin

I'll put a bit in your mouth, and watch you choke on your words
(You spoke again)
I'll feed you your lies, and watch you choke on words, I'll give you something to truly despise
(I despise you)

I'll rip you from limb to limb disemboweling your wretched skin
I'll cut off your head and let it roll reconstructing your last perspective
The ice in your veins won't match the venom in mine
You look much prettier when you are dead

I'll take your eyes and lead you through the milky halls of the blind
I'll take your teeth and starvation will laugh as you try to eat from mine.

Who's got the last Now?

I will become your worst nightmare
You will be found dead in the night
No one will even come looking
Cuz no one will notice the plight

SIT. DOWN.
I wanna make this last

This is far from over, we have only just begun
Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of a lying scum
Be he live or be he dead, I'll grind your bones to make my bread
Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of a lying scum

I'll take your tongue and clean out your mouth with the blood from your lungs
I'll take your feet to a carpet of glass, this can't be solved with guns
You say you look back at the times we had fondly
I'll dice you to bits with the knives I have on me
You're life's about to end can't you see?

Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of a lying scum
Be he live or be he Dead, I like you best without a head.

One for All

In the Midst of Lions

Genre: Metalcore

In the Midst of Lions on: Facebook MySpace

Oppressed and afflicted, yet silent he remained.
A lamb led to the slaughter, He kept his mouth shut.
My sorrow he carried, for he had none.

His blood rained down on me, and now it dwells within.
Rain down on me!
A perfect creation, we tarnished that name.
(there's a line here, but I can't transcribe it and lyrics I found didn't include it)
I am undeserving.

Oppressed and afflicted, yet silent he remained.
A lamb led to the slaughter, he kept his mouth shut.
My sorrow he carried, for he had none.

I give you my life, because of all you gave.
My God, You gave me everything.
A perfect creation, we tarnished that name.
(there's a line here, but I can't transcribe it and lyrics I found didn't include it)
I am undeserving.

One for all.
We are the undeserving. One for all.
We deserve death, but you give us life.

Oppressed and afflicted, yet silent he remained.
A lamb led to the slaughter, he kept his mouth shut.
