Rich Mullins - “Elijah”

“I’ve got notebooks full of misshapen words
I’ll never speak them anymore
Ten years from now, you won’t know my name
Throw the microphone down on the floor
Put the guitar, guitar, one time
Through the speaker, splintered, broken
Throw the horns down, one time, horns down
Smash them, break them, break up

See the flames begin to crawl, upward
Taste the anguish as they fall, unheard
Hear the record start to skip, unsung
Feel the weight that sunk the ship, so young

The crowds recoil, demand our survival
Fists in the air, mouths caked with saliva
But you are the one, the spark that was spawned
Who picks up the pieces, and passes it on”

 Five Iron Frenzy, “See the Flames Begin to Crawl”

“ Blessed are the land-mines
Stretched across the desert floor
God bless the hands that formed them
Filled their shrapnel hearts with war
May You bless the companies
The goose that laid the golden egg
May they make a million more
Blowing off a million legs
Blessed are the black-tongued ravens
Substituting fear for reason
‘To hate war is to hate us
If you love peace, then you must love treason’
Beat your plowshares into swords
Beat your pulpits, turn your tables
Blessed are the hand-grenades
Bless the church who rattles sabers

This house is burning
This poison still is worming
This temple will cave in
There’s nothing here worth saving

Nail the gold up to the altar
Like Ahab taunts his crew to war
Blessed are the shareholders
Lack of faith is for the poor
Hold your wallets to the sky
A temple built to soothe yourself
Blessed is the church who tries
To help you build your blessed wealth “

This house is burning
This poison still is worming
This temple will cave in
There’s nothing here worth saving

-Brave Saint Saturn, “Blessed are the Landmines”

Skillet
Not going to lie, I’ve seen Skillet about twenty times. My dad went through this obsession with them so we literally seen them all the time, but it never got old. I have always loved them and I always will. Their songs never get old and their performances just get better each show. I love how goofy the lead singer, John Cooper, is but I love how passionate they are about their music. Their song The Last Night, will always mean so much to me.
