Behind the Breathing Sea
03:48

We stand frozen, our faces toward the dark breathing sea.
Behind us lies a shore that our arms once reached for.
A place now desolate.
And only filled with groans of agony.
Through the fog of night,
beyond the broken shore,
we see a glimpse...
A horizon burning with majesty,
glowing with holiness.
Our wearied hands grasp rigid rope as we depart.
To journey despite our wary hearts.
So be it.

Gazing out at the open sea,
what awaits us?
We sail for our Maker's land!
His hope within us!
With faith in our sails,
we soar atop the depths of blue and green.
No ear has heard, no eye has seen
the majesty and strength the Lord can bring!
Hands raised, we praise the Lord above!
His hand sustains!
With hearts pure...
The crystal sea pulses underneath.
A dark passage set before us,
we journey forth with joy
into a solemn setting sun.
As twilight closes in,
our souls need rest within...
The moon drips soft light through the clouds...
A gentle breeze brings a wary sleep...

Tempest of the Great Owl
07:26
|
|||
|
Cold eyes creak open.
A world awash in white.
A cloak of falling frost.
Our minds cannot comprehend.
Blinded by furious touch of the ocean's crush,
a frozen weight presses down.
A chaotic gale of ice and terror...
"Do not be dismayed.
Keep your eyes lifted,
and I will show you a safer path.
For not all that is before you is unseen..."
Behold! A great white owl guides us through the storm!
Focus, brother! That we may not lose sight!
Within us a greater faith prevails.
We have been sent a blessed messenger.
A friend...
"Here! Look! This way!
I will carry you on my wings!
Trust the faith in your hearts, my friends.
Death will not keep you this night!"

The grey clouds give way.
The sun pierces through.
A pale cold sky shimmers blue.
Our thawing eyes see only You...
Only You, Lord...
|

6. |
||||
|
And now before us lies a shroud of
deep, reaching darkness.
Towering oaks with flesh dripping moss...
A small sailing light enters a void of dread.
Cloaked in inky black, the trees rise from the sea.
Sailing in twilight, our way we cannot see.
Ghostly movement now, beyond our field of sight.
Our hearts burn within, our souls subdued by fright.
Terror sets in as long translucent limbs
seep from the shadows toward us...
Death grips the ship and begins to lift us.
Fear turns to confusion...
Through the trees, passed along by vine-made hands.
Up and along, leaving the water behind.
Salvation!
They carry the weight of the world!
Salvation!
He carries the weight of the world!
Salvation!
From the Devouring Mouth!

Valdonia: The Vulturous
05:01
|

What end might this be?
A demise of devilry we know all too well...
Out of the depths rises a beautiful abomination...
Entrancing and deadly...
Venom drips from her mouth.
Blasphemy is in her heart.
Why can't I look away?
Her eyes ensnare me!
The blackness of her soul wraps its claws around me...
This feral passion will be the end of us all!
Dear God, lend us Your hand, lest we fall.
And now...
By the blood of Jesus we shall soon overcome this
harlot of shadow and death.
The grave will be swallowed up in the lake of fire...
Immorality will be banished by the breath of the Lord.
And by the incense of your burning corpse,
we will rejoice!
Forever in victory with the Father...

And now, a storm engulfs the ship.
We cannot hide, we cannot hide.
The splintered shards of our hope will
grace the ocean floor.
How can we escape the kingdom under the world?
Torn asunder...
Reborn from underneath as our lungs reach...
For the surface of life or for death's keep...
Hands... Hands in the deep...
Darkness and chaos spiral around us.
Is this our end?
Sifting through shards of what once was.
Gasping, grasping, death will not take us!
Clawing forward, scraping forward...
Death's hand grasps our throats.
The Lying One stands and gloats...
Almighty God, where are You now?
Can You save us somehow?
Your mighty hand now holds our hearts in place.
Preparing us for victory, keeping us safe
from faithlessness and death...
The time is now!
Eyes open on the Golden Shores!
Sun shines down on our faces!
Have we truly arrived here in the
Land of our Father?

Eternal Shores
05:14
|
|||
|
The sun shines down on where we lay.
We open our eyes to a brand new kind of Day.
Can this be the end of our journey?
Oh God, oh God!
Have we come home?
Our of darkness my flesh fades
from pale to a warm red...
Golden clouds... A new birth...
Indeed we are home!
Behold our Eternal King!
We fall to our knees!
And the light from His throne
lit every corner of existence.
The breath from His mouth
shook the fabric of time itself.
Every living creature bowed on the golden shore
and sang a new song to the one
True King.

O, Majestic Winter Tennessee
We are a band that follows Jesus Christ. Our music is meant to be a means of worship and conveying the joy and purpose that
He has given us. The music that you hear is what we feel God has put in our hearts.
It is dark, strange, and used to glorify God alone.

Seeking Refuge

This is some great Christian black metal, similar to Wolves in the Throne Room and Agalloch. Be sure to get a copy!

This is my favourite Vials of Wrath album. I prefer the heavier sound. I like the more recent stuff a lot, but I absolutely love this.

Forest of Iniquity
by Within Thy Wounds
supported by 6 fans who also own “Eternal Shores: A Spiritual Odyssey”
Brilliant, magical. Vivid soundscapes and feelings. Perfection! But, I have to admit, listening and taking a christian metal album into my collection is not something that I would normally do. Nonetheless, the music won me over, so I ignored everything else. Within Thy Wounds crafted here a transcendental, emotional atmosphere. Nothing can beat this.
