Behold, He cometh with the clouds
And with Him the armies of Heaven
Poised to slaughter the proud
And deliver us sisters and brethren
At the sound of mighty trumpets
His forces draw their swords
The morale of evil plummets
In the presence of the Sovereign Lord
"Depart from me! Ye accursed!"
The children of the dark
Know their end has come
Terror grips their hearts
For the kingdom of Satan is undone
Salvation has come at last
Let us join with Christ
Whose glory reigns unsurpassed

Behold, Babylon's Fall
03:42
|
|||
|
Drunk on their own hubris
And glory from the days of old
In mortal sin persist
Orgies before their gods of gold
Their crimes have not gone unnoticed
The blood from those whom have been slain
Cry out to the Lord for justice
And He has heard their cries of pain
What was once a proud nation
Which boasted its strength
Now faces damnation
And its splendor decayed
Behold! Behold!
Babylon's Fall!
Burn down the shrines to Moloch
Smash every pagan altar
Free all of those held captive
Imprisoned, sentenced to be slaughtered
Reclaim all our stolen treasure
Avenge the pain of our fathers
Destroy the icons of Baal
And spare not the priests macabre

The Rich Man and Lazarus
03:52
|
|||
|
There once was a rich man
Who indulged in luxury
Feasted on meat and wine
Dressed in robes of vain design
Outside lay a sick man
Lazarus, who lived in poverty
Begging for scraps, but ignored
As the dogs gnawed on his sores
Living every day in agony
Never shown generosity
Scorned by Jew and gentile alike
Poor Lazarus, deprived of mercy
The time would come for both to die
And face their judgement
Lazarus woke up in paradise
Took a seat at Abraham's banquet
Meanwhile, the rich man awoke
And in fright exclaimed
For he was surrounded by smoke
And flame
He called out to Abraham
And Lazarus in fright
Begging them to warn his brothers
Through a miraculous sight
But Abraham denied his request
And into torment the rich man regressed

Forest of Iniquity
by Within Thy Wounds
supported by 7 fans who also own “In the Presence of the Sovereign Lord”
Brilliant, magical. Vivid soundscapes and feelings. Perfection! But, I have to admit, listening and taking a christian metal album into my collection is not something that I would normally do. Nonetheless, the music won me over, so I ignored everything else. Within Thy Wounds crafted here a transcendental, emotional atmosphere. Nothing can beat this.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first listened to this album on Spotify, but I was absolutely blown away on the first listen! Sonically, I think the band has an awesome sound, and the songs have some good variety and production. Writing/lyrics are also strong here. Epic album from start to finish; I am very much looking forward to Mercy's future releases!

Suffer To Rise
by Voluntary Mortification
supported by 6 fans who also own “In the Presence of the Sovereign Lord”
This a fantastic album for scaring the hell out of non metal heads (pun intended). This was the first deathcore album I heard and it's still the heaviest and still my favorite. God bless I hope this band gets the attention it deserves.
