So, I just learned how to play a Seventh Star song on guitar. It's a hidden track from their older Dead End album. Good stuff. That's one of my goals for this year, to play guitar more and learn songs like that. So far so good.

I'll come up with something a little deeper and more thoughtful later. I'm just trying to get back into the habit of writing on here. It was kind of bad timing for starting this since I came back to school a few weeks after starting this. But I promise more posts and more content to make you scratch your head to.

I don't even like the taste of blood.

I really don't feel appreciated. This always seems to happen a few days before a show. All of my time, work, and energy seem to only matter to me. I feel like many of my efforts are overlooked or pushed to the side. I always feel like if I don't do something it won't get done, then when I do it it I don't feel like I'm really appreciated for it.



PS. Brian I responded to your comment on my "Burn Your gods To The Ground" post with a comment, which is more like a mini novel.

Burn Your gods To The Ground

This is our newest song. I'm not quite sure what to say about it. I think it really speaks for itself. My inspiration for it came from personal experiences (or course), some readings I did in Proverbs, as well as from reading Wild At Heart and Way of the Wild Heart by John Eldredge.

Burn Your gods To The Ground

Your eyes (Proverbs 6:25)
Bring me to my knees (Your eyes! Your eyes!)
Asking more of me
I give my heart
Your lips drip with honey (Proverbs 5:3)
I can’t resist a taste
Your path leads to the grave (Proverbs 5:5)
And I’m chasing you
Your path leads to my death
And I’m chasing you
Your path leads to the grave
And I’m chasing you to my death

I’ll follow you down
If you’ll give what I desire

What makes a man a man?
Like a sheep led to the slaughter
What makes a man a man?
Butchered without a word
What makes a man a man?
Father, what have I done
What makes a man a man?
I am not a man

Confined within these walls I’ve made
I’ll paint myself into this picture
To become just like you—dead like you

This is the last time, I swear!
Don’t believe my lies
This is the last time, I swear!
Don’t believe my lies
This is the last time, I swear!
Lord, take this lust from me

Take this lust from me (2x)
Burn your gods to the ground (2x)
Take this lust from me (2x)



It might never happen, but our hope is that this, along with 4 other songs, will be on an EP. Of course the EP would be titled Burn Your gods To The Ground. nox intempesta will be one of the songs as well as 3 others that we hope to write this fall/winter. One of those three we're already working on. I'm not going to give too much away, but it is going to be a worship song beginning to end. I'm feeling really good about taking this song in that direction. Once it's finished be expecting lyrics.
