High-Energy Alternative Rock Song Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Eight days old, they cut the tie
A pure-blood badge, reaching for the sky
I built my fortress on the rule and line
Obeyed the law, convinced the world was mine
I hunted down the ones who spoke His name
Fueled by the zeal, engulfed by the flame
Yeah, I had reasons to stand tall and boast
But that whole history, now I count the cost!
(Chorus) - MAX VOLUME, INTENSE VOCALS, HEAVY DISTORTION
Worthless! Garbage! Trash it all away!
This human effort dies at the close of day!
I found the infinite, the value that is real!
KNOWING HIM! The power that I feel!
I’m crashing down the walls of my own might
Gonna gain the Christ, and step into the light!
Throw it out! The righteous mask is gone!
This resurrection might is the power I rely on!
(Verse 2)
Watch out for the dogs, the people doing wrong!
They're selling cheap salvation in a tired song!
They talk of hoops you have to jump right through
But the Spirit in my chest tells me what is true!
I traded in my perfect pedigree
For a messy, bloody faith that set my spirit free!
I’m not counting on the law to keep me clean
I’m made right by the faith, the change that’s in between!
(Chorus) - MAX VOLUME, INTENSE VOCALS, HEAVY DISTORTION
Worthless! Garbage! Trash it all away!
This human effort dies at the close of day!
I found the infinite, the value that is real!
KNOWING HIM! The power that I feel!
I’m crashing down the walls of my own might
Gonna gain the Christ, and step into the light!
Throw it out! The righteous mask is gone!
This resurrection might is the power I rely on!
(Bridge) - BUILD UP, VOCALS GRITTY/PASSIONATE, RISING GUITAR MELODY
I want to know the Christ! Feel the pulse of the grave!
Share the pain of death, the life He came to save!
I’ll suffer through the fire, I’ll take the heavy share,
‘Til one way or another, I meet Him in the air!
The mighty power! The mighty power!
(Guitar Solo - High Energy) - FAST, MELODIC, TECHNICAL
(Chorus) - FINAL EXPLOSION, MAX VOLUME, INTENSE VOCALS, HEAVY DISTORTION
Worthless! Garbage! Trash it all away!
This human effort dies at the close of day!
I found the infinite, the value that is real!
KNOWING HIM! The power that I feel!
I’m crashing down the walls of my own might
Gonna gain the Christ, and step into the light!
Throw it out! The righteous mask is gone!
This resurrection might is the power I rely on!
(Outro) - DRIVING BEAT, LAYERED SOUND, CRASHING FADE
Rejoice! In the Lord!
Safeguard the faith!
Rejoice! In the Lord!
The resurrection might!
(Fade out with repeated "Rejoice!")
