lol, they're Christian!

The "Christian Bands" thread inspired me to do some Googling, and I found this.  It's a band called I Built the Cross.  It's definitely some of the heaviest death metal I've heard, and I find it hilarious that there is a Christian band in this genre.  I think they're a new band, and I hope they release a full album sometime soon.

It might be a good idea to turn down your volume before you click.

The lyrics are listed below the video.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZRBhjY-tlw#

Impaled high above the crowd the sins of the world pour from your hands and feet.  Mocked and defiled, embedded in your head are thorns.  This is love.  Lord, I am eternally grateful, and my heart is all I have to give.  Now religion has destroyed.  This was never how things were meant to be.  We are no longer bound by the law. In his blood we find Freedom. We are saved by grace.  So give me peace through these times of struggle, and hope through time of distress.  Give me the heart of a servant, so I may serve you with all of my heart.

Your Religion is Dead.

But Jesus, you give life.

This is my purpose, to live for your glory.  Lord, I give you praise.  You died for me, I'll live for you.

I would give my life for this.

Jtay...-10 for thinking its "Hilarious" that there are Christian bands in one of my favorite genres....+10 for finding the band...so I guess thing even out. Can't wait to get the album! Its kinda funny, some of the harder (and kinda older) Christian Metal bands have some really good lyrics. Old school Zao, Living Sacrifice, Mortification, Demon Hunter, Becoming the Archetype...despite how "evil" some people my think they sound, the message of Christ is there. I could go on, but I might fall off my soapbox....

Uhhh.....If they actually sang it I would call it a song. That was....just sad. I'm sorry but I like music where I can understand the music or the words. ???

Normally I say that too, but I actually read the lyrics along with the song and for the first time I actually was able to understand what they guy was screaming. Pretty sweet. Like understanding a new language for the first time!

Casey Jones is probably the more surprising Christian band.

Use language like this again, even masked, and we'll skip right past the warning.

You get the point.

Flogging Molly also displays a lot of pro-Christian themes. Also, Flogging Molly is awesome.

I haven't had the chance to listen to too many of their songs, but from what I have heard, I agree.

Sorry, I still can't make out the lyrics while reading them. This stuff is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

My favorite parts are the big hit at "destroyed" and the start of the breakdown at "your religion is dead."  I guess Strong Bad was right about d-e words and death metal.

Oh, and the sweep picking in the breakdown is amazing too.  It makes me want to practice my guitar more.

I wasn't using bad language, I was using asterisks to represent the poor language choices of a "Christian" band.

FWIW, I couldn't even understand his post with those asterisks. I just skipped it. Apparently he swore though.

Same here. I tried reading along, and I could make out a bit of it, but some of it was just unintelligible.
