Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Stone in my hands Tablets on my back Desert in my throat Promise in the cracks Thunder in the camp Blood on the door Prophets in rags Screaming at the court [Pre-Chorus] All these laws On my skin like scars Every word Like a prison bar [Chorus] Old testament Written in the cut and the bruise New testament Bleeding through the pages I use I am the war Between the altar and the cross Two voices in my head One mercy One cost (yeah) [Verse 2] Flood in my chest Fire in my lungs Lion in the pit Psalms on my tongue Whispers in the dark Bread in my hand Carpenter’s son Drawing lines in the sand [Pre-Chorus] All these rules Rust around my soul Then that grace Crashes through the mold [Chorus] Old testament Written in the cut and the bruise New testament Bleeding through the pages I use I am the war Between the altar and the cross Two voices in my head One mercy One cost (hey) [Bridge] Am I the blade? (am I the lamb?) Am I the flood or the dry Cracked land? Tear the veil Let the dust catch flame Same holy fire Just a different name [Chorus] Old testament Burning in the laws that I keep New testament Breaking every chain in me deep I am the line Where the curse and promise meet Two testaments One fire Screaming through my teeth (woah)

metal, Aggressive nu metal with male vocals: drop-tuned, chugging guitars, syncopated start-stop riffs, and punchy, swung drums. Verses spit rhythmic, near-rap cadences over tight, muted palm mutes; choruses explode into wide, anthemic chords with shouted gang vocals. Brief half-time bridge with eerie choir pads, then final chorus in a higher key and layered screams for catharsis., nu metal
