The music of the Christian band
DarkLayStill speaks louder than words
....OK, pun...but I think that their sound is both unique and impressive. Keep asking TheArchDuke (Ragnvald) for the words to the music! Their message is equally impressive.
Of course, if you’re older than thirty, or can’t remember how much you liked groups like Led Zeppelin, Cream, Mountain, or Grand Funk Railroad...you’ll need to get out your eat plugs. But for the rest of us, listen and learn.
He who has ears
, let him hear...
Matthew
ok i'll post my songs. this promises to be a long entry though
they go in a certain order so the first one leaves the problem unresolved. just a warning so that you don't read the first one and think i've already given up hope. satan gets what's coming to him later in the story
THE ANGEL OF LIGHT
The brightest of all angels
Haunting beauty masks your ill intent.
Satan.
Deciever.
Your pride is an infection.
Your eyes burn beautifully with hatred.
Your carrion heart is as cold is winter.
Spread your furious wings and
take flight to decieve the earth.
Heart full of terror,
for your time is short.
(this next one has no name yet. maybe you could suggest something for me)
Down, down
Storm the gates.
Hell cannot withstand the fury of the Lord,
and heaven cannot contain it.
The day of the Lord approaches;
all of our souls will be loosened from their flesh.
And on that day, we, who have power and authority
over the mountains
and the demons that dwell beneath them,
we will judge the angels.
DEATH IS NO RELEASE (this one isn't finished yet. i'm still re-wording things)
Death, you have no power over me.
I have been pierced to the heart by the sharpest sword.
My bone was separated from the marrow.
I was buried into death with Christ
and I was rescued from the frozen dark of the grave.
Death, your sycthe has been dulled
and cannot penetrate.
Death, you are behind me.
Before me now is the life that only
rebirth can bring.
Death, you are defeated.
My new purpose is to
serve Jesus Christ who is the Lord.
In His name do we crush the demon hordes.
We are clothed in His light
and by His Blood we justified.
A warning to the people of the earth:
Death is not relief.
When you pass on,
Death will only tighten his grip on thee.
For those who have not been freed,
Death is no release.
AWAIT ASCENSION (this one was co-written by a friend of mine who likes high fantasy alot so that comes out in the beginning of the song alittle bit. i thought it was alittle cheesy with the 'dark flames' and all, but it sounds good with the music)
As I decend,
one thousand blades of black flame
rend my flesh,
and i am nearly torn asunder.
As I decend,
I proclaim with a false sense of victory
that God is dead.
As I decend,
a new brightness up above
burns my eyes as I am cleansed.
Cleansed by flame!
I am made pure!
I awaited ascension
but remained in the pit.
"Why, O Lord, do you keep me here?"
"You have been redeemed,
but I keep you here to fight.
For my kingdom suffers violence
and violent men must take it by force."
WHITE BLADES THROUGH BLACK HEARTS (co-written with my sister)
There are screams in the wind tonight;
demons to your left and angels to your right.
Forget all that you were taught to feel,
erase this moment what you thought was real.
Darkness creeps in and pierces the night
but angels stand behind you, robed in white.
Legions of angels draw their swords
and raise a cry to the approaching hordes.
One after another the sons of pride fall before angelic steel.
White blades pierce black hearts.
Still they blaspheme the Lords name;
even in the midst of defeat.
Their hearts are hardened
and the dead keep to themselves.
Leave not one standing.
Let not one be left alive to bury the dead.
The battle belongs to the Lord.
In Him is our victory.
THE SAINT AND THE MARTYR (our last song. very quiet and restful sounding.)
"What could eternity possibly
have to offer mortals like we?",
or so speak the dead.
For we are not mortals.
There is no peace like
the peace that follows victory.
True, all men fall prey to the hourglass
and we all will shed
this mortal shell.
But, when the war in heaven is over,
Eternal serenity,
Immortal peace,
Everlasting rest
await the saint
and the martyr.
i'm no theologian so i hope everything is accurate in my lyrics.if anyone sees any inconsistencies with the Bible then please point them out. thanks
