Enoch - Seasons

Seasons never stay,
and kids grow and cease to play.
But you are not just like that,
you are not the same.
I'm forced to watch you slip away, but all I want is for you to stay; we've shared too much pain and laughter.
People constantly change,
but you're always my rock in sinking sand.
No rule, no fight, no belief, no wrong or right,
can sway my heart from you.
I'm forced to watch you slip away, but all I want is for you to stay; we've shared too much pain and laughter.
Lately everybody's leaving,
and every little thing keeps changing;
is it too much to ask for?
I need your time..
I'm forgotten,
completely forgotten.

Deathmerits - Folly

Where could I go?
How would I stand?
The Foundations crumble all to sand
When our faith’s in man
no measure greater than I am
All vanity, it’s all vanity
No hope in life
All a ghost, a blind indifference
Pursuing anything
To dull the pain of cold existence
Where can we go when we’re told
It’s leading nowhere?
A fate as black as night
We stare right in the abyss
Searching the stars for signs
Just to quench our thirst for a hope or reason
A tragedy, it’s all tragedy
The blinded leading the blind
At our own funeral March
No one to cry when you’re gone
Behold your god
There's got to be more than this
A hope beyond tomorrow
An image carved upon us
Behold Our God
Your world is deafening
The trees cry out in endless praise
Even the deafest heart can’t escape the song of your perfect grace
Our sin you’ve put to shame
Our lives, you’ve paid the ransom
This gift of eternal life and a glory shared now and forever
The debts been paid in full
You’ve called us to repentance
Your blood has covered all of our unbelief and our disobedience
Put in us now, oh God
New minds, new hearts, new courage
Restore this dying world with a hope and truth that cannot be broken
Taste and see the Lord is good
Blest is the man who finds his refuge in Him
Throw your pride upon his nail-pierced feet
And thirst no more, lay down your life find mercy
No longer I who live but Christ in me.
So come and die, lay down your pride come and die
No longer I but Christ in me
No longer I who live but Christ in me.
So come and die, forsake your pride come and die
No longer I but Christ in me

I'll praise the One that paid my debt
I'll praise the One who conquered death
I'll praise the One with my final breath
Crown Him with many crowns
The Lamb upon the throne
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own
Awake, awake, awake my soul and sing
Crown Him with many crowns
Crown Him with many crowns
Crown Him the Lord of Heaven
One with the Father known
One with the Spirit through Him given
From yonder glorious throne
To Thee be endless praise
To Thee be endless praise
I'll praise the One that paid my debt
I'll praise the One who conquered death
I'll praise the One with my final breath
Adored and magnified

We worship the God who was
We worship the God who is
We worship the God who evermore will be
He opened the prison doors
He parted the raging sea
My God, He holds the victory
There's joy in the house of the Lord
There's joy in the house of the Lord today
And we won't be quiet
We shout out Your praise
There's joy in the house of the Lord
Our God is surely in this place
And we won't be quiet
We shout out Your praise
We (scream) to the God who heals
We (scream) to the God who saves
We sing to the God who always makes a way
'Cause He hung up on that cross
Then He rose up from that grave
My God's still rolling stones away
We were the beggars
Now we're royalty
We were the prisoners
Now we're running free
We are forgiven, accepted
Redeemed by His grace
Let the house of the Lord sing praise

I so hate this, how to escape this,
all born again but too bored to dig through the meaning
Worn out traditions versus provision, I want
all the good You’re giving without running from temptation
I am a ghost of my past
still it haunts me to death,
old ways to cope with
all these emotions
But if I’ve been made brand new
is no less than all true
Why do I do
what I don’t want to do?
Shake me heavily, let it break me to remake me whole
Cut the chord in me, so that my old self may let go
Guide me to the guarantee: behold I make all things new
Shake me heavily, until all I desire is You
I so hate this, how to escape this when I’m
home alone and I’m lonely, and I’m horny
but don’t judge me by my human nature, right?
There’s no harm done when I look at this,
just a few clicks for a business that I know is inherently wicked
And I know You detest the way that I don’t detest this enough;
this maltreatment of a pure privilege is something that I still love
But if I’ve been made brand new
is no less than all true
Why do I do
what I don’t want to do?
Shake me heavily, let it break me to remake me whole
Cut the chord in me, so that my old self may let go
Guide me to the guarantee: behold I make all things new
Shake me heavily, until all I desire is You
Is it still well with my soul?
Did you forget the truth? Listen to me as my grace suffices you
Is it still well with my soul?
You’ve been saved by My blood, don’t let old ways discourage you
It is still well with my downcast soul...
I, Myself, will go before you,
It is still well with my downcast soul...
I, Myself, will not forsake you
Shake me heavily, let it break me to remake me whole
Cut the chord in me, so that my old self may let go
Guide me to the guarantee: behold I make all things new
Shake me heavily, until all I desire is You

Context - Pressure

Chasing shadows on the wall
Trapped in my thoughts
Paralyzed
Never good enough
So crushing
Never good enough
So crushing
Feel the weight of it all
It’s consuming me
Feel the blade as it cuts
Red flowing
Feel the weight of it all
It’s consuming me
Feel the shame as it comes
Condemning
Trying to do it alone
That’s my downfall
Crippling pressure
My head imploding
I have no righteousness
Of my own
Though You bought me
I do it on my own
Can You hear me
Can You hear my cries
Do You see me
Do You know my heart
Can You hear me
Can You hear my cries
Do You see me
Do You know my heart
One Mediator
Between God and man
You bridged the gap
You tore the veil
You are my righteousness
Alleviation
From the pressure
Pressure
Come to Me
All who are weary and
Heavy laden
And I will give you rest
Come to Me
All who are weary and
Heavy laden
And I will give you rest

There’s disaster wreaking havoc
Just beneath my skin
Another war inducing panic
Raging in my head
The breaking point is getting closer
Point of no return
Another step and I’m content
To let those bridges burn
I made this
It’s just my own twisted design
I made this
And I won’t forget
I’m not afraid to face
What hell surrounds me
But the unknown is keeping me awake
If I can stay alive
Just long enough to see light
To see the light of day
I’m held captive by the moment
Sentenced by the hands of time
Bound by flesh and bone
A prisoner of my own mind
The breaking point is getting closer
Point of no return
Another step and I’m content
To let those bridges burn
I made this
It’s just my own twisted design
I made this
And I won’t forget
I’m not afraid to face
What hell surrounds me
But the unknown is keeping me awake
If I can stay alive
Just long enough to see light
To see the light of day
Woah, the darkness is what’s killing me
Woah, but I’m stronger than I used to be
Woah, the darkness is what’s blinding me
Help me see what I’ve become
This is not the end
Just take a breath
And let your life begin
This is not the end
Just take a breath
And let your life begin
This is not the end
I’m not afraid to face
What hell surrounds me
But the unknown is keeping me awake
If I can stay alive
Just long enough to see light
To see the light of day
Woah, the darkness is what’s killing me
Woah, but I’m stronger than I used to be
Woah, the darkness is what’s blinding me
Help me see what I’ve become

Eonia - No Remembrance
04:28
|
|

My life is empty
Devoid of peace
Guilt from my failures
Brings me to my knees
Give me anguish
Change my life
My hands are aimless
Their works are vain
Fulfilling my desires
Was a worthless dream
Give me passion or I will die
There is no remembrance
We will be forgotten
We will be forgotten
Wings of grace
Show me your form
I run to you
You welcome me
Now my life will never be the same
Wings of grace
Show me your form
All of my life I have been needy and I have been weak
And I have been slow and I have been afraid
But it caused me to run to Him
And in running to Him there is such glory
There is such power
There is such life - Paul Washer, Importunity in Prayer
Oh God
You are everything I've ever wanted
Erase my name from every book
Except Yours
Wings of grace
Show me your form
I run to You
You welcome me
Now my life will never be the same
Wings of grace
Show me your form
Oh God
You are everything I've ever wanted
Erase my name from every book
Except Yours
Erase my name from every book
Except Yours

We overcome this darkness
And sing our victory song
A sacrifice to save us all
Blood that was not our own
We wage this war
With forces unseen
Powers of darkness
Principalities
Since the beginning
When mankind did fall
An ongoing struggle
Burns within us all
We have corrupted this world
Once perfect, that God did create
We neglect the things that we love
And only do the things that we hate
Our
Internal
War
There's a way which seems right to man
But will lead to a second death
Reject the lies and embrace the truth
We neglect what we love and hate what we do
And hate what we do
So what else can I say
Sin dwells inside of me
A slave to this law of sin
Unable to do good deeds
For those who are in Christ
He took our punishment
On the cross where He died
We overcome this darkness
And sing our victory song
A sacrifice to save us all
Blood that was not our own
We overcome this darkness
And sing our victory song
A sacrifice to save us all
Blood that was not our own
Blood that was not our own
Blood that was not our own

Through struggle and strife
You need to survive
Take action and rise
Take control of your mind
No for rejection now
Make a solution now
Trust the process
Go, get up and fight now
Go, get up, and fight
(Chorus)
You are not alone
Someone's watching over you
Reaching out his hands to you
All you have to do
Let go all the fears inside
And make the most of your life.
Through struggle and strife
You need to survive
Take action and rise
Take control of your mind
No for rejection now
Make a solution now
Trust the process
Go, get up and fight now
Go, get up, and fight
(Chorus)
You are not alone
Someone's watching over you
Reaching out his hands to you
All you have to do
Let go all the fears inside
And make the most of your life.
(Bridge)
I will live this life
Live with no regrets
Faith is all I have
Love & sacrifice

Alethium - dear Death

Dear death,
I write this letter to you.
In all the pain that you’ve put me through.
Dear death,
I write this notice to you.
Through all the pain that you put me through.
I died to my self worth
I lost my identity
I heard you say…
“I am the dark, I am the shadow
The one you tried to escape from.
I am death, I am disease.
I corrupt your mind to slit your wrist until they bleed!”
I die to death
I loose your grip
I have the Final word
Come hear me say!
I will scream in power, I won’t run and hide.
I will rise up and face all these demons inside.
I will scream in power, I won’t run and hide.
I will rise up and face all these demons inside.
I will scream in power, I won’t run and hide.
I will rise up and face all these demons inside.
I will scream in power, I won’t run and hide.
I will rise up and face all these demons inside.
DEAR DEATH!
DEAR DEATH!
You’ve been warned.

Echoes through the storm
Screams of the serpent gods
Today I witness this reconquering
Under the shadow of the warjets
Temples of false gods burn through the night
Heat from the flames melts surrounding snow
Forming a second flood, extinguishes earth's core
Piercing the beating heart of impurity
Millions of faithful knights march onwards
Their chanting can be heard from the stars
Each footprint an engraving of rejection
To a world that gave the crown to satan
Echoes through the storm
Thunder of cosmic conflict
Legions of angels slay the fallen
Every demon dies, from moloch to odin
Through the cold winds the smoke paints the sky
I can see the flames from the crest of mountains
Just like fireflies in the summer fields
Burns the temples of the pagans
Heathenry is immolated
Return to dust their gods and thrones
I can hear the faithful singing
I can feel it in my bones
In the mountains
On a bed of snow
I lay and rest
Through last midnight
I know when I wake this world won't exist
Take in its final light, and spit it out
Ear piercing screams
The sound of gunfire
And roar of missiles
Tear through the sky
It has a sound, a delicate hum
Creates a hymn of total supremacy
Lord, they hail Your Name
Enemies surrender
Thousand year rebellion now defeated
Jesus Christ is supreme over all
Lord, they hail Your Name
Every tongue proclaims:
There is no god higher than the Trinity
No beauty triumphs His Divinity

Taste and see of the vanity
A cosmic accident of insignificance
Merely a spark in the infinite darkness
Spiralling in relativity, Life is absurd
No worth
True purpose is lost if we reduce to dust
All meaning becomes subjective
In the absence of God we will rot, and our souls are lost
Mankind is orphaned, No reason for us.
Just specks of dust, straying through infinite nothing.
Objective significance is illusory
Now fade, and decay
the rotting is our call
A bankrupt pursuit
Striving after air in unyielding despair
Creation ripe for cessation
For all that awaits in the end is absolute death
Mankind is orphaned, No reason for us.
Just specks of dust, straying through infinite nothing.
Objective significance is illusory
Void of God, all is destined to futility
Accidents, byproducts of matter and chance,
Woe where humanity stands
We live for naught, and return to dust
Mankind is orphaned, No reason for us.
Just specks of dust, straying through infinite nothing.
Objective significance is illusory
Void of God, all is destined to futility

Mercy - The Old Oak Tree
04:23

I sit beneath your leaves, old oak
You mighty one of all the trees
Within whose hollow trunk a man
Could find a shelter from the breeze
(I found a shelter from the breeze)
I see your knuckles hard and strong
But have no fear they'll come to blows
Your life is long, and mine is short
But which has known the greater woes
(I am the one with greater woes)
Thou has not seen no starved women here
Or man gone mad because ill-fed
Who stares at stones in city streets
Mistaking them for hunks of bread
Thou hast not felt the shivering backs
Of homeless children lying down
And sleeping in the cold, night air
Like doors and walls in London town
I sit beneath your leaves, old oak
You mighty one of all the trees
Within whose hollow trunk a man
Could find a shelter from the breeze
I see your knuckles hard and strong
But have no fear they'll come to blows
Your life is long, and mine is short
But which has known the greater woes
Knowing thou hast not known such shame
And only storms have come thy way
Methinks I could in comfort spend
My summer with thee, day by day
And in thy hollow rest at night
The stars turn over leaves of light
And through the open doorway see
The spirits and the powers that be
|

Look at me, and tell me what you see
A perfect man, well guess again
I have spent all of my life ridding myself of pity sin
Don't you let him win
Don't you let him win!
Called forsaken, this world is not
Hope is near
Just open up your heart
(Sermon by The Altar Fellowship)
Called forsaken, this world is not
Hope is near (Hope is here)
Just open up your heart
I can't pull myself together
I can't do this on my own
I can't pull myself together
Give to Me your heart, and I will return to you
Diamonds!
Diamonds!

Silence won't heat the cold
Hatred won't shape the mould
There's so much to believe
Which lie would you like to be sold
Losing my sleep again
Wondering if I am dead
But if that were the case
Did I miss the part where I ascend
Razor wire wrapped around the things I love most
Thieves and liars, lock me up alone with their ghosts
Begging you please, will you rescue me with Your decree
Darkness excuses light
Gives me a brand new sight
Reaching out with both hands
Begging my way out of this strife
Razor wire wrapped around the things I love most
Thieves and liars, lock me up alone with their ghosts
Begging you please, will you rescue me with Your decree
Psalm 54
Save me Oh God
I call Your name
Vindicate me with all Your strength

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.
