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.

wasn't this song originally election of '96?
Yes, you're right Brian. At the Jesus Wept show it was known as 'My Mom's Oprah, and My Dad is Harrison Ford' That was before, through divine intervention (no joke), I came up with it's current and final name. Burn Your gods To the Ground is not just a song name to me, in a sense it's become a theme for my life currently. And to be honest, it has helped me to refocus my heart on God. I know this is quickly becoming a novel, but I have one last thing to say. We're playing this song as our last song at the show on the 13th, and unless I chicken out, there will be a big piece of my heart shared before we play it.
Brian will be there!!! ^O^
