| Skillet – My Beautiful Robe Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." Isaiah 64:6 This song, from Skillet's first album, contains some of their most Biblical lyrics. We may think we're good, but even our best deeds are filthy in God's holy eyes. Only by believing in Jesus' death on the cross and being saved by grace through faith can we attain glory. I wish Skillet would quit writing the watered down lyrics they're putting out now and write more like they used to. |

| Skillet – Promise Blender Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Why can't Skillet write songs like this any more? This song is a simple yet powerful Christian message about how we continue to make and break promises, but God takes them all and forgives them (puts them in His promise blender, awesome metaphor!). We are promise breakers, but God is the only true promise keeper. |

| Demon Hunter – LifeWar Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Because Demon Hunter is a Christian band, this song is most likely an allegory for the Christian life, which is often portrayed as a constant battle. "5 years, my mother gave a voice for war" His mother prayed that he would get saved and become a Christian. "10, I was dead, born again with eyes for war" He was regenerated/"born again" and is now a Christian in the spiritual war of good vs evil. "By 15, hate was the name of my war" Not entirely sure about this line, but it could be talking about a rebellious phase which most teens go through. I've heard the lead singer talk about his teen years in an interview, and he did go through such a phase. The rest of the song is pretty straightforward. The river is most likely Truth or God's love. He acknowledges that war is painful, but he wants to fight for the truth. |
