Hey, they sucked, I know bad lyrics when I write them. Oh yeah, how did you get metal hymnal? Here's another song. I wrote this one as a song for our praise band.
Darkness falls And bogs down on me As I stumble through the black I feel the need to flee
I need a light To guide my path For I’m not sure I can handle The awaiting aftermath
Jesus, be my light My only way to see For it is only through you That I can fully be
Through blind eyes I walk And sense the rutted trail I need a better vision For my darkened heart does ail
Jesus, be my light My only way to see For it is only through you That I can fully be
Savior, be my guide My king, rescue me Jesus, only for you I bow down to one knee
Jesus, be my light My only way to see For it is only through you That I can fully be
Savior, be my guide My king, rescue me Jesus, only for you I bow down to one knee
Jesus, be my light My only way to see For it is only through you That I can fully be
John 1: 9-13 “The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.”

I like it, but not as much as your other stuff. I think it would definatly sound good with a slow tune, but... still, I liked Abbadon and your other stuff better.

Wrote this at like 1:00 this morning.
Soul Asylum
This unholy world accepts us no longer We have nowhere to run, no place to seek refuge And now that we are war torn and fatigued by battle We long for a shelter, an asylum
You are our only sanctuary Our only place to seek comfort in distress When these swords of righteousness grow heavy in our hands We will lay them down as we bow at Your feet
As we march, we find that this world is ravaged by evil Although darkness prevails over much of the land You will end its reign with triumphant light For You, our captain, will liberate us from the chains of Sheol
In this time of everlasting night We abide in You, for You are the only haven for weary souls And as you strike the masses with a mighty hand We reside in our asylum of peace

Dear Father, I need you I’m gasping in my pain This sin keeps eating my heart away And I’m deadened to all good
Let me take your nail-scarred hand Lead me through this darkened world Make my footsteps your own So that I will not stumble
I wish to follow you To be protected by your staff When they lead me to the slaughter Deliver me from harm
Yet, as time wears on, my soul feels heavy As I lift you from the cross, no blood falls upon me “Why have I forsaken you?” my bleeding heart cries out And the Deceiver stands near me, mocking my pain
Tears from heaven fall from great heights As angels weep at the sight of a fallen warrior And you cast your mournful gaze upon me For I was once your kindred
Dear Father, forgive me I have blasphemed your name I’m no longer worthy of your kingdom I ask that you open your arms to a sinner once again
i like this one alot...

I just read Abbadon and I wanted to know what the vocals are like in it. I imagine death metal growls, but I could be wrong. Anyways, cool song (Abbadon, I haven't read any of the others yet.)

we like to use both high screams and BTA style low screams. We haven't performed Abbadon yet...

I write alot of poems and stuff to use as lyrics once I find a guitarist for my band. here is one of many.
Blood For The Blind
Why do you save me when I left you behind? Why do you search when there’s nothing to find? Why did you die for one so blind? You loved me but I still chose to be confined?
You were perfect and you gave your life. You didn’t have to endure the strife. You were killed for me by the knife. You proved your love to be more than rife.
We look at you and say he’s a good man, With out understanding the pain of your true plan. We may admit the holes in your hands, But we don’t realize the holes in our hearts.
Now we await your return. Now we try to get others to turn. For if they don’t they will burn, In the fires of hell with all concern.

My newest one. One of the few that I actually have a melody to...
Amnesia
Do you remember when I took your hand, And led you through the dark? Do you remember when all hope was dead, And frostbitten was your heart?
You’ve turned away now, You have forgotten me, Your liberator, The one who set you free.
You’ve turned away now, And closed your eyes. You no longer whish to see, The lights of eternal life.
Do you remember when they haunted you? Demons poisoned your thoughts. Do you remember when I slaughtered them all, And gave you all that I have got?
You’ve turned away now, You’ve pulled the nails, That kept you going, Even when you ailed.
You’ve turned away now, And stepped into black, Now the Serpent tells you, There’s no turning back.
I gave it all up for you. I was crucified, So that when everyone else was gone, You would not die.
You did not take this gift, You threw it in My face. And yet the blood that was shed, Has still not gone to waste.
Do you remember when I died for you? When I was persecuted so. When I gave My life so that you could live, And when you became My joint heir?
I gave it all up for you, I let them scar My hands, With the nails that led, To your salvation.
Although you do not care, I will not end My pleas, For you to embrace Me. Embrace Me, your kin.

[shadow=red,left,300]You did not take this gift, You threw it in My face. And yet the blood that was shed, Has still not gone to waste.[/shadow]
I really liked that one. the whole thing was good, but those lines seem like some thing I would write. nice work.
Here's another of mine.
Blinded By False Intentions
He told me he’d help me have a good life, Full of fun & void of strife. Yet He keeps in his pocket a knife, To use on my helpless wife. ~ ~ ~ He wants me alive to do his bidding, Some times I wish He was kidding. He won’t let me say, “I’m quitting.” On his firry throne He’s sitting. ~ ~ ~ “I’ll protect you & give you Joy, But I want the life of your little boy.” I run & and hide, but am only a toy, In the greater scheme of this eternal ploy. ~ ~ ~ I see now the master insane, He beats himself wit his cane. The true one comes & eases my pain. I retune to my wife & child, no longer plain.
