The Eleventh Hour by August Burns Red
We’ve heard the sound that ears bleed to hear.
The sound of a place the entire universe awaits.
A passion so powerful that walls crumble to their foundations.
Here the strongest fall to their knees(12 Remember your creator before its too late).
The lost find their way back home,
but the masses buy what will make them rich,
feasting on lies, chasing their tails. (2:4-8, 5:10-11 meaninglessness of wealth/accumulation)
Truth be told, they’ll get what they were promised.
Crawling away, burning with regret, to the deepest, darkest depths of Hell (9:2-3 A common destiny awaits all).
We got news for you.
The day is soon coming when turning your back won’t be an option.
Keep telling yourself what you really don’t believe.
You can compromise what you know to be true,
and you can turn off all of your senses,
but in the end you’ll see nothing stands between a man and his maker. (3:17 there is a time of judgment coming)
No matter what it’s your decision.
This isn’t something you could do alone.
Give up, give in no matter what, it’s your decision
As Cities Burn
Our World is Grey
I'm sure if you wanted to stop love,
You could just untie your end and let it go.
But, my God, you don't.
Yeah, I think I love you for it.
You're still sending cells to their rightful places,
When forming more likely to escape. (11:5 how the body is formed in the mothers womb)
Such a narrow way of life.
What's it look like from your side? (11:5 yet we still cannot fully comprehend God)
From here I can't see why it's worth
One more coming out cursed?
(Better still is the unborn 4:3, 6:3-6)
Say it, say it!
Say what this is all for!
Say it's redemption.
(Overall question in Ecc)
'Cause our world is grey, world is grey.
We're just swaying from side to side.
Our world is grey, world is grey.
We are thieves and saints alike.(7:20, 7:28-9, 9:3 The hearts of men are evil)
But you don't let go, don't let go.
We keep swaying and swaying.
And you don't let go, don't.
Yeah, I think I love you for it.
He's shooting god up in his arm through a needle. (2, Pleasures are meaningless)
And she's putting cuts on her legs to bleed out the devil. (4:1 oppression is evil, and the oppressed have no comfort, this is the result)
"Surely you will not die, eat and be like God."
What have we done?
Say it, say it!
Say that this is all for redemption.
(Overall point of the book of Ecc.)
'Cause our world is grey, world is grey.
We're just swaying from side to side.
Our world is grey, world is grey.
We are thieves and saints alike.
But you don't let go, don't let go.
We keep swaying from side to side.
We all just sway, we all just sway.
But you don't let go, you don't.
You don't.
