| Some lyrics just really work well. One song I've always thought gelled brilliantly was Holy Soldier's "When The Reign Comes Down". That really was in a class of it's own. You see it all around you It's everywhere you turn And like a beast that stalks the night It's deadly hunger burns It feeds on the lust and greed In the wicked hearts of men Hunts you down It's the hound of hell He's on your heels again
Desire conceived In the mind it breeds 'Till it's giving birth to sin Sin brings death And the wicked won't rest Will we ever see the end?
When the reign comes down Death, the beast, the liar When the reign comes down They all will burn with fire
It motivates the rapist It moves the hand that kills Fills the heart with the wrath of Cain And blood begins to spill The scavenger of lost souls It feeds as they expire Licks the lips of the mouth of hell And spews eternal fire
Desire conceived In the mind it breeds 'Till it's giving birth to sin Sin brings death And the wicked won't rest Will we ever see the end?
When the reign comes down Death, the beast, the liar When the reign comes down They all will burn with fire
When the reign comes down The sky is raining fire When the reign comes down The flames are reaching higher When the reign comes down The scarlet moon is rising When the reign comes down A face that shines as lightning When the reign comes down
Death, the beast, the liar When the reign comes down They'll choke on their desire When the reign comes down The sky is raining fire When the reign comes down The flames are rising higher When the reign comes down While Babylon is burning When the reign comes down The world stops turning When the reign comes down His face will shine as lightning

| I agree that it does gell very well...really like the way the tune comes down during "when the reign comes down.. part. I just got this a couple of weeks ago, but really am enjoying it. | |

| One of my favorite songs right now: East To West (Casting Crowns) - Quote :
- Here I am, Lord, and I'm drowning in your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me I yearn for peace and rest I don't want to end up where You found me And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west And I stand before You now as though I've never sinned But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way
Jesus, can You show me just how far the east is from the west 'cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again In the arms of Your mercy I find rest 'cause You know just how far the east is from the west From one scarred hand to the other
I start the day, the war begins, endless reminding of my sin Time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way
I know You've washed me white, turned my darkness into light I need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night I can't live by what I feel, but by the truth Your word reveals I'm not holding on to You, but You're holding on to me You're holding on to me
Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west I don't have to see the man I've been come rising up in me again In the arms of Your mercy I find rest 'cause You know just how far the east is from the west From one scarred hand to the other One scarred hand to the other From one scarred hand to the other

| I just heard that Casting Crowns song on the radio last night. Great stuff, probably the best vocal sound I have heard from that singer too. _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."
