1. The Flame That Guides Us Home
Sing now seraph, find the calm within your soul
Bring us closer to the flame that guides us home
“The Flame That Guides Us Home” is essentially a prayer sung to God, asking that his angels would guide us to His light with their song.
2. Not I
So now you’re suffering the fallacy of what you said
When you uncover the depression from where you’ve tread
Breathe over the glass you wrote on
Swallow all that you waste your throat on
You wear the mark and wave the banner they made with sin
Revealing every single lie that you’ve been breeding within
Wash over the skin you’ve broken
Think over the tone you spoke in
Pre-chorus:
So lost in your affliction / addiction
The solemn comfort of your grave
If you close your eyes the light can’t take it away
Chorus:
Not I - I won’t conform to what I see in you
Not I - I won’t surrender what I am
Not I - And even if it was a part of me
Not I - I’ll never be that way again
The blind will follow on the path that you created in vain
No guiding light, but just the shadow of the dead will remain
Dig open the pain you’re hiding
Give your hand to the faith you’re fighting
The void you suffer is a curse forever bleeding inside
Now you embrace the fatal sickness you should despise
Remember the day you lost that
Where is the shame that will bring your soul back
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Reach back behind your pride
And pull the thorn from the burning pain in your side
Sing me a new song
A broken song of redemption and regret
Sing me a new song
And beg for all the mercy you can get
(Chorus)
“Not I” is about the idea of being set apart as Christians. In the song I talk about the life of a non-believer and the decisions they make to live their life contrary to the word of God and the moral code that we, as Christians, have come to live by. This song is a proclamation that we, as followers of Christ, will not conform to the ways of the world. In essence, when we see these sinful things that have consumed the world, we say “Not I.”
"Know that the Lord has set apart the faithful for Himself; the Lord will hear when I call to Him." - Psalms 4:3
"Know that the Lord has set apart the faithful for Himself; the Lord will hear when I call to Him." - Psalms 4:3
3. Undying
Ever since the day that I was made I’ve been deciding the end
And I was made of wood and stone that won’t diminish or bend
So when the heavy hand of death is here to take me away
I’ll be the solid grip of time, forever holding my stay
Nobody ever made a force that took a beating like me
I call the earth and every scum to come and try to fight me
Cus when I made the choice to live beyond the dirt that we tread
I felt the curse of mortal limit fall before it was said
Pre-chorus:
When this season ends…
Chorus:
One final heart-break
And blinding lights will guide our way
Free us our blind state
They will call us by our name
Undying
Tearing through these days I find the tolerance to strive and push on
I know what lies beyond this life for me is already won
No one can take away the blood that covers over my fall
Without the blood of perfect life I know I’m nothing at all
So now I reign forever hallowed in eternity’s hand
No man can shake me from the everlasting ground that I stand
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
We are the ones who will still remain when all is laid to waste
We are the ones who, when angels cry, will see them face to face
We are the ones
(Chorus)
“Undying” is an anthem for those who will live eternally. It’s about taking pride in having everlasting life and not being afraid to show it. The “final heartbreak” spoke of in the song is referring to death- the last time you will break anyone’s heart here on earth. And after that- blinding lights will guide our way into Heaven. The name that I have coined for those who have accepted eternal life is the “undying.”
When I was younger, there were a few Christian metal bands that made me really excited to be a Christian. They would talk about Christ in a way that I could relate to, in a song that I thought was unashamed and forthright. I wrote this song to give kids today that same feeling of pride in being a Christian.
"So that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life." - John 3:15

4. Relentless Intolerance
These eyes, they will gaze and reflect
And gauge every thought I reject
No sway of stance in changing times
Just a narrow mind commanding respect
We stand on the words of the wise
And languish every call to despise
We know the hollow wound of their lies
Pre-chorus:
No reformed edition
Never losing vision
Now into forever
Only getting better
Ways of now, spiral down
How much more we allow
Chorus:
Keeping sight of the vow we made
Holding fast to the hope
So when we stand in the line of wrath
The true and righteous will know
The foundation that we used to uphold
Now regarded as the madness of old
Every alteration made to the standard of truth
Is a nail in the coffin we hold
We embody everything they despise
Because they see us through degenerate eyes
So when they cast you down as intolerant filth
Stand firm, never bow to the lies
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
See the scorn inside my eyes
(Chorus)
“Relentless Intolerance” speaks about the constant breakdown of morality and tradition in the world today. It’s about the pressures of being “open-minded” and “accepting” of things that we’re called to detest and flee from. In a world that’s always progressing, we need to look back to the times when we were less tolerant of immorality- and that’s what this song is about. There should be “no reformed edition” of the gospel. The things that we believe and trust should be viewed the same tomorrow as they were yesterday.
The song urges believers to not be ashamed when they are viewed as intolerant or narrow minded, because even though these are dirty words in today’s world, we are called to walk a narrow path and we cannot afford to be accepting of every sin this world may become numb to.
"Love must be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good." - Romans 12:9

5. Deteriorate
Time has had its way with me
My broken, tired hands can’t build a thing
The wires that have held me still
Embedded now in flesh, define my will
The idle of my days has won
The empty I have fed has made me numb
Despite what you will find in me
The failures of my past still swell beneath
Pre-chorus:
I need a heart that carries on through the pain
When the walls start collapsing again
Give me a soul that never ceases to follow
Despite the infection within
Chorus:
Our careless feet leaving trails
Never minding the fragile dirt we all end in
This is where I find my fall
The cares that held me life don’t work at all
And every step away from here
Is closer to the plague I hold so dear
Awaiting my end
Breathing in the day that finds me new
Redemption begins
Bleeding out the flaws in place of you
(Chorus)
Time has had its way with me
My broken, tired hands can’t build a thing

The failures of my past still swell beneath

The cares that held me life don’t work at all
And every step away from here

Awaiting my end
Breathing in the day that finds me new
Redemption begins
Bleeding out the flaws in place of you
(Chorus)
“Deteriorate” is more or less about getting old and feeling the effects of that. It’s about longing for an eternal body that will be flawless and will never wear out. When I sing “Awaiting my end, breathing in the day that finds me new,” I’m talking about looking forward to that day when our bodies will be replaced with Heavenly bodies.
In addition to this, it’s also just a reminder for listeners that life here on earth is not very long, and to live wisely while we’re here.
"For my loins are full of burning pain, and there is no health in my body." - Psalms 38:7

6. The Soldier’s Song
Through the clouds of fallen ash, a lonely mother’s cry
Among the fields of broken glass the loyal few will arise
Faith now regained
Finding strength within the void, a raging fire ignites
A spark of ever-burning power and conviction to fight
Pride be your name
They will spit upon the honor that you guard with your life
And run to hide in selfish fear when threat of death is in sight
Lay down your shame
Pre-Chorus:
Armed with resistance and blind to the cost
They say your purpose is mindless and lost
But we don’t adhere to the slander they spill
We mourn with your losses and stand by your will
Chorus:
These tears we spill
They haunt us still
The cries of the weak lie quiet in sleep
Beneath our feet
We are the sons of holy wrath, a shining light in the dark
The ones who walk amongst despair, no sign of fear in our hearts
Stand in death’s way
Shut out the voice of mindlessness, open your eyes to the truth
Believe the words that stand the test and not the slurs of the youth
You’re not what they say
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Turn over the tables and watch them run
You’ll be the weapon they can’t outgun
(Chorus)
Through the clouds of fallen ash, a lonely mother’s cry

They will spit upon the honor that you guard with your life

“The Soldier’s Song” is for all of the Demon Hunter fans that have written us from overseas, fighting in the war. Many of our fans over there have told us that we’ve been inspiring to them and that we give them encouragement in difficult times.
In lieu of a music industry that seems to give US soldiers more to regret than anything, Demon Hunter wrote a song for our soldiers to give them hope and to let them know that they are appreciated. I feel that many people have made these men and women feel unimportant. Many of them have seen friends and family die over there and if these soldiers are told that their time spent fighting this war is in vain, then that implies that these people died in vain. Demon Hunter would rather give these people our support and respect.
"The Lord advances like a warrior; He stirs up His zeal like a soldier. He shouts, He roars aloud, He prevails over His enemies." - Isaiah 42:13

7. Fire To My Soul
We flow with bitter words that file sharp our teeth
And we bite off our own tongues
We trample any trace of your divinity’s hope
And we’ll sacrifice our young
With our eyes sewn shut now the light can’t shine
Oh, we’ll never wake from dead
And when you beg for us to open up and let you in
Then we’ll cut you out instead
Pre-chorus:
You promised you’d give us your word
We never believed it was true
And we pretend that we never heard
Cus we still don’t believe in you
Chorus:
I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul
Is this the voice we die for?
We die for life
We built a wall to keep you out
Ignoring every word
And we saw your face behind our thoughts
Apathetic to what we’d heard
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Why does it falter? We built it all ourselves
Why does it hurt so bad, forsaking all this help?
Why are we choking on pills designed to heal?
We threw our hearts away cus we’re too afraid to feel
(Chorus)
We flow with bitter words that file sharp our teeth
And we bite off our own tongues
We trample any trace of your divinity’s hope
And we’ll sacrifice our young

And when you beg for us to open up and let you in

(Chorus)
“Fire To My Soul” is written from the viewpoint of a stubborn non-believer. It’s about someone who sees God’s work and feels his pull, but does all they can to ignore it and pretend that it doesn’t exist. When I sing, “I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul. Is this the voice we die for?” I’m showing how God is interacting in this person’s life. At this point, the non-believer is challenged when he hears a voice and he wonders if it’s the voice of the Lord.
At the end of the song, this person’s world is falling apart and they’re wondering why. They’re starting to realize that living according to their own agenda is getting them nowhere.
"My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they follow Me." - John 10:27

8. One Thousand Apologies
There you stood in disbelief, trying all you could to see through these lies
And every word that I could breathe, would find you more inclined to leave, but I tried
And knowing what I’ve done to you, with every thought you suffer through
My heart as black as evil can
And everything I could have been, erased by what I wanted then
I couldn’t think a lesser man
Pre-chorus:
All the delicate ways
That I deepened our graves
My apology pales
Chorus:
Oh, the pain in your eyes
My regrets have never known such sorrow
Oh, the shame that you hide
Resolutions are the same tomorrow
So now I reap what I have sewn, and any rapture I had shown has bled dry
And I walked the streets alone, accepting pain I’d never known, as you died
Then I hurt myself to see it too, to feel the knife in put in you
My heart as broken as my ways
I never should’ve let it pass, this fall was never meant to last
The reason gone and damage stays
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
“One Thousand Apologies” is a song that I wrote as an apology to someone that I hurt. In the song, I talk about how foolish I’d been and how destructive my actions. “Resolutions are the same tomorrow” means that I will try to be a better person every day.

9. Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck
Nothing breeds more contempt for this world
Than memories now formed
Every moment a new seed
Is grown to no reason, the trouble unfolds
For the trials of today
I’m no jury, really don’t care how you feel
The pleasant notion of miraculous change
Drifts into multiple jeers
Chorus:
You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers, you snap your neck
Seconds drip thru my hands
Washed of moments unborn
All the spaces between bleed
A tribute to a sacrament never exposed
A message to the forces,
I’ve no pity, don’t know how thankful to feel
Expectations of my daily bread
Gives me the hunger to steal
(Chorus)
Written by Prong in 1993, “Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck” is a cover song. Demon Hunter decided to cover this song because it was a very influential song, musically speaking, to my brother and I growing up.
I’ve never seen the lyrics explained by Prong, but the way I take them is about life today and the endless struggle for success and wealth. The chorus says, “You want the good life, you break your back.” I think this is referring to the lengths that some people will go to in order to live a lavish life. To say, “You snap your fingers, you snap your neck,” is like saying that you wish you could just snap your fingers and make things happen, and you would snap your neck in order to do so.

10. The Science Of Lies
Bow down- before the god of cash
The philosophy of modern man is leaking fast
No foundation for the frame by which you set your mind
Just a legacy of fiction for the feeble to find
Desperation breeding faith unto a pitiful lie
“Give us your money and we’ll open up your gullible eyes”
No redemption, not a reason, but a symbol of why
This digression of surrender is the science of lies
Chorus:
Believe the sacred blasphemy
They feed
That hollow voice inside of your head
Receive the fleeting fallacy
They breathe
Trace every step from where you were led
Look back and tell yourself what they said
(Now flee)
And now you feel it pulling down
How can you buy into a faith that hasn’t permanent ground?
Give me blood-soaked, sacrificial worth
Not the artificial product of a fraudulent birth
Give me selfless, consecrated reprise
Not a worthless contribution to the science of lies
(Chorus)
Feel it pulling down
(Chorus)

“The Science Of Lies” is about the popularization of Scientology in today’s society. I did some research on Scientology and found it to be one of the most absurd “religions” I’ve ever heard of. It’s a cult based around mental health and what seems to be some sort of science fiction- involving aliens and other plants. Scientology’s founder, L. Ron Hubbard actually used to write science fiction novels for a living before he decided to bring his stories to life in a cult. L. Ron Hubbard, who claimed to be a nuclear physicist (which is untrue), apparently realized the “truths” of Scientology on an operating table after sustaining injuries in the war. These “truths” include the idea that aliens, called Thetans, were sent here on a mother ship from an overpopulated galaxy named Xenu 75 million years ago. These Thetans we dropped here on earth and killed with hydrogen bombs. Now their spirits infest our human bodies and it’s our task to remind them of their tragic death, in order to kill them and thus, rid ourselves of these alien spirits that haunt us. The kicker is that, as a part of The Church of Scientology, you need to pay exuberant amounts of money to find out the truths of the “religion,” which is why the more popular members are Hollywood’s elite.
In short, this song is about the ridiculousness of this cult and how tragic it is that anyone would believe in it.
“You must not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked to be a malicious witness.” - Exodus 23:1

11. Ribcage
All hail the newborn sin
Reject the boundaries and soak the cancer in
Hope kills the filth you crave
So bleed the truth out and fall into that grave
Uphold the brand new skin
Accept the failure, refuse to rise above
Break through the ribcage
And tear the heart out from everyone that you love
Pre-chorus:
Over and over again
We’ll bury the shame underneath the lies we breathe
Over and over again
We’ll carry the blame for the hell that we can’t leave
Chorus:
Show me - The path that leads into your mind
Release - The thoughts you lock so deep inside
Show me - I’m the one who knew this pain
Release - Before you fall into this again
Behold the loyal slave
His rotting shell now a tomb where death can play
See now his pride caves in
Alone he fights to stop this dark decay
Feed, feed the lust you need
And fainter grows each plea from skies above
Break through the ribcage
And tear the heart out from everyone that you love
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Building a life out of all that you hate
We see through the front that you tried to create
The world you had hoped for was only a fake
And just like the maggots that made you this way
I know
All hail the newborn sin
Reject the boundaries and soak the cancer in
Hope kills the filth you crave
So bleed the truth out and fall into that grave
Uphold the brand new skin
Accept the failure, refuse to rise above
Break through the ribcage
And tear the heart out from everyone that you love
Pre-chorus:

We’ll bury the shame underneath the lies we breathe

And tear the heart out from everyone that you love

Building a life out of all that you hate
We see through the front that you tried to create
The world you had hoped for was only a fake
And just like the maggots that made you this way

“Ribcage” is a song about addiction and the vicious cycle that we put ourselves in when we become addicted to something. Whether it’s alcohol, drugs, pornography, or anything else, these things are killers- and not just to the individual. This song explains what it does to the people that you love when you allow these addictions into your life. The line, “Break through the ribcage and tear the heart out from everyone that you love” shows how the addicted will destroy anything on their path of addiction, even the people they love the most.
“Feed, feed the lust you need, and fainter grows each plea from skies above” is referring to God’s voice in your life, and how His voice can be overshadowed by these sins when you allow them to consume you.
"Don’t you know that ever since antiquity, from the time man was placed on earth, the joy of the wicked has been brief and the happiness of the godless has lasted only a moment?" - Job 20:5

12. The Tide Began To Rise
I don’t belong here
I never saw this on the path I walk
The blood-stained walls, the lines of chalk on the floor
It’s getting so hard
I never saw the backlash when the tide began to rise
I can’t remember
The way it was when everything felt right
My mouth held shut and eyes sealed tight with control
Pre-chorus:
So I remember on the inside
Chorus:
I found a dark, infernal place I don’t want to face anymore
Somehow, I won’t stop feeding the pain
My heart’s just the same as before
So now I’m stuck here
Between the guilty and the insincere
The words I spoke have left me here all alone
I should have known this
I never saw the backlash when the tide began to rise
I wish it all gone
I could’ve burned it when I had that choice
And now I’d die to kill this noise in my head
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
So I remember on the inside
If this is all the love my spirit can give
Just take it back tonight
There is not a reason more to live
I don’t belong here
I never saw this on the path I walk
The blood-stained walls, the lines of chalk on the floor
It’s getting so hard
I never saw the backlash when the tide began to rise
I can’t remember
The way it was when everything felt right
My mouth held shut and eyes sealed tight with control
Pre-chorus:

“The Tide Began To Rise” is a song I wrote about the changes you make in life. Sometimes, in looking back, you realize that you’re not progressing and changing into the mature, spiritually mature person that you had hoped for. I talk about the times when things seemed more stable and looking back on those days in the hope that you may return to them.
At the end of the song, I wrote about how depressing it can be sometimes, knowing that we, as humans, are so limited in the love that we can give to God and our loved ones. God gives so abundantly to us, yet we are living for ourselves most of the time. The love that we do give is usually just in the time left over after we serve ourselves. The final desparate plea is that God would just take my spirit home with Him, because I’m tired of the futility of human love.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23
