Lyrics:
Redemption is not just about survival
It is one lost souls revival
Would you call my name,
Or cast me to the flame?
Redemption is not just about survival
It is one lost souls revival
Would you call my name,
Or cast me to the flame?
It’s like a story that plays in the back of my head
Nowhere to hide, so face it instead
A voice screaming louder when you push it aside
Nowhere to run so look inside
God may forgive me, but I won’t
Forced to face my fears again
God may forgive me, but I won’t
I refuse to play pretend
It’s white noise in a dark room
Clawing out from your skin
Echoes tower over me, echoes tower over me
God may forgive me, but I won’t
Forced to face my fears again
God may forgive me, but I won’t
This suffering will end
Now I can't see my own face
It’s blinded by the shame
Would you call my name
Now you tell me everything
Is going to be okay
Would you call my name
Would you call my name?
Or cast me to the flame?
Fear is the tax that conscience pays to guilt
Please have mercy on my soul
Is the guilt that I’ve got, the good I didn’t do?
I’ll punish myself before God does
I’ll punish myself before God does
Now I can't see my own face
It’s blinded by the shame
Would you call my name
You tell me everything
Is going to be okay
Would you call my name
Would you call my name?
Or cast me to the flame?
God may forgive me, but I won’t
Turn to face my fears this time
God may forgive me, but I won’t
This suffering will end

😂🤟
God may forgive me but I won't - for sleeping on this release, that is. Absolute BANGER.
Thankyou so much 👊
Thank you mate keep an eye out for more new stuff👀
🤟❤
If Wage War and fit for a King wanted some people to carry on there musical legacy they would hire this band.
I’m so humbled by this! Thank you they are 2 of our favourite bands!
Let’s throw Oh, Sleeper in there too
@@toyotaecw another fave of mine ❤️
@@PaddyW106 Been hooked on them since I found Children of Fire in the used section at a local record store.
@@toyotaecw Its all about stumbling across bands in record stores. I miss going into my local and find a band with the most ridiculous name and buying it. Some were great... others not so.
Jesus 🔥 baby!!
❤️👊
Yeah baby!!
Gotta say, I LOVE THIS!!! Even though I am an Atheist as well as a fully disabled combat veteran this hits HARD!!! Glad I stumbled upon you guys….youtube picked a good one!
Firstly mate, thank you for your service ❤️ you’re a true hero.
Secondly I’m so happy you are able to relate and enjoy the track.
We released another song on Friday called “Forever Hollow” hopefully you’ve checked that out as well.
Thank you for you kind words and hopefully we will meet you one day!
Thanks so much for the support man 🤟
Humbled for your words, thankyou! Album drops tomorrow too, be here!

One of the best labels out there 👊
Really appreciate your kind words 👊
I love seeing the Crucifix and the Rosary in this video! I don't know if these guys are Catholic or not, but it's a great message!
You have an incredible eye mate! I was brought up in an Irish Roman Catholic house hold and I wanted to represent my heritage in the video.
Beautiful! As a Catholic myself, I got really excited seeing that imagery. You don't see banger metalcore bands with Rosaries very often!
@@chillgaze Much love mate!! gota represent the heritage!! My small Irish mother was very excited about it all. Threw holy water all over me. HAHA
Thanks very much for the support 👊
❤️

I've historically not exactly been in the Facedown demographic, but discovered COAT a few years back when they were on a bill at a local venue, and they've made me reappraise various things, which is opening interesting new doors. Great to see them getting wider recognition. Go see them live!
Thank you so much mate!! Hopefully catch you at one of the album release shows! ❤️🔥
Legend thanks so much! Album drops tomorrow too, be here!

Wow I felt this song. “God may forgive me but I won’t” has been my mood for the past few weeks…
Good stuff. When I was growing up it was far and few finding good Christian bands. I had the Crucified and Living Sacrifice. There was not a lot of up and coming. This is great!!!!
Bless you mate!! thank you!!

Thanks so much mate!!
Thank you so much mate!
Ah thanks so much man 🔥
Thank you so so much!! ❤️
Great job on this one! I've (so far) only listened to this, Twelve, and Myra (which was absolutely incredible). I'd love at some point to hear more about your own personal stories and how you write such deep meaning into these songs. Much love and God bless you all.
Really appreciate that dude 👊
Thanks so much!!
It rocks..
Face down rec is an awesome label.
That they 100% are best label in the world!
You rock! ❤️
Cheers dude and yes FD are incredible 🔥
They really are the best 👊
This song is sick. With regard to the lyrics, there are times I definitely can relate - probably more than I care to count. Thankfully, there is, therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 🙏🙏
Preach it! I’m glad you can relate and enjoy the song! ❤️
Super happy that you dig the song and can relate to parts of the message in it! Keep being awesome! ❤️
Appreciate the support man!

What if I like the hurt?
What if I enjoy the pain?
What if I love being miserable?
What if I’m happy to be depressed?
What if I’m comforted and safe in my comfort zone, even though it’s killing me?
*What if I don’t want to be free?*
I hope that this brings you happiness.
❤️
Head up mate 🤟

Daaaamn!! A total banger!! Definitely gonna be listening on repeat for a while.

Thank you Lexi!! You’re too kind
Thanks so much Lexi 👊

i was searching for a great new band to follow. I ain't searching anymore. Thanks !
Welcome to family!
Oooo now this is what I’m talking about. Found myself a new favorite. Reminds me of MyChildren MyBride and Sovereign Strength with a little Fit For A King thrown in there.
FFAK one of our all time favourites!
Fit for a king are a massive influence on us so reading this has just made my day ❤️
Urggghh such compliments!! thank you! We actually have a song Featuring Ryan from FFAK here ruclips.net/video/ob5K7cQmyD4/видео.html
We love those bands 🙌

Absolute legend thank you! ❤️
Cheers man can't wait to release it 🤟
Yes!! Thank you for your support!!
Another great single! Looking forward to hearing the full album! I love the breakdown and the overall message is relatable; it's easy to want to punish ourselves for fear of God's judgement. It's so easy to forget that He already paid that price!
Preach it brother! Thank you for your kind words
@@PaddyW106 Absolutely! I love that Facedown always gets bands like you guys, I can always find something to fit whatever I'm going through!
Thank you for the kind words it means so much to us to have such amazing support from everyone! ❤️

Not me smiling ear to ear reading this comment!
WONDERFUL!
You're wonderful!
Great stuff guys!
Thanks dude 👊
Appreciated David!!
You’re a legend!
I found out about these dudes 4 days ago and then saw them at Chain Reaction in Anaheim 2 days ago and they put on one of the best shows I've seen in years! Stephen the vocalist talked to me on IG beforehand and let me know when they'd be playing and I was able to make it after work and he was the coolest guy when we met after their set. He was in the pit screaming and so was the guitarist and he was walking around the beams and stuff, it just added so much energy to the show! All in all, I didn't know these guys existed a week ago, and now I'm a massive fan
God Loves YOU...
God loves you too brother!
@@PaddyW106 Thank you...

Thank you so much ☺️
@@PaddyW106 Your Welcome 🤗
Awesome when's the album coming out?
September 16th my guy!!
Can't wait to release it now! Check back on Sept but some more stuff out before then 🤟
What the others said 😁
Not a single mention of geological features…1*
The best comment I’ve ever read on one of our videos🤣
But I mean you have to look at it from another angle and it’s all metaphorical. Would you not agree?
If this track peaks your interest though, check out our other new track Peacekeeper 🤟
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man you guys are awesome! I've been listening to metal for a long time and you guys have got it! Absolutely! It took me a while to get into this but I'm absolutely blown away by it now. Thank you for Australia!
God Loves You🙏🏻❤️
Brooo
You likey?! 😎
@@ConfessionsOfATraitor I LOVE the sound that is produced. 1 Corinthians 2:2 says i determine to know nothing but Christ and Him crucified. When I hear this song it makes me think of what Adam may have experienced when He was cast out of the Garden for eating the fruit. On one hand He was crying out for fellowship with God as He had experienced in the past and knew He needed. on the other Hand he was terrified of what the fall had brought upon His soul. An experience he had never felt.. All this to say our answer is Christ and Him crucified His blood dripping down cleansing our guilty conscience and bringing us back to relationship. If you can bring hope to people everywhere with the Truth of Christ and keep this sound y’all will destroy the scene. ❤️
Brahhhhh
Thanks so much for the support 🤟
Love this! ❤️
🙏🔥💪
Much love!!
"Fear is the tax that conscience pays to guilt"
Having lived through some rough seasons a couple years back I can say this is true or it has to be true in some sense.
Yoooo Steve we met in Philly, I told you you gained a fan!! You guys are fucking awesome
Yooooooo Alex!!! I remember you! You are even more Awesome!! Great to meet you mate and see you soon!
