When a christian rock song makes you cry, that means: God is blessing you through the lyrics or the message...so this is biblical...we are in a constant war versus evil, but Jesus Christ is protecting us every second. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah!
I truly needed listening to this right now, also fits the situation I have been going through recently. Even though the power of darkness has tried and still tries breaking me down, it has also brought me closer to God as well as made me have to take a stronger stand with my faith in Him and trust the authority given to me through Jesus Christ's name!
Amen brother . Don't give up! Trust in Jesus rebuke the devil in his name. Gather with true Christians not with liberals Christians. Pray and listen to good music with biblical message. THAT WILL HELP YOU AND KEEP YOU STRONG and close to God. James 4;7
AWESOME METAL MASTERPIECE! Isn't it funny that in the world we see a lot of crappy metal bands being very successful, while great christian metal bands like Theocracy are just suppressed? Even more curious, people don't realize that... They don't see at all. It's not a coincidence. The enemy will always try to suppress the Truth, but he can never prevail. The Lord is infinitely Mightier HalleluJah! May God bless this band more and more!
Well, the reason can be that not many people understads the real meanings of Theocracy's most amazing masterpieces. Take, for example, Mirror of Souls, it's amazing, i barely can hold my tears every time i listen it, but u should be a christian, u should have experience of falling from mountain of pride, meeting Stranger, seeing yourself in Mirror and repenting, just for fully feel the power of this masterpiece. Same story with Laying the demon to rest, not many people want to fight their inner "demons", actually, most of them want to be their slaves. Nowadays there are not many persons, who is ready to take responsibility for their actions (that's what As the World Bleeds preaches). So i can go on with examples, and that's very sad. People want to listen a preachers, that will please their ears, not the ones, who want to show them a Truth. They don't understand, and the worst thing is, they don't even want to.
When I first heard about Christian Rock i was seriously sceptical but these guys are amazing and really talented, actually one of my favourite bands now :)
That is true Fabian. We are in a spiritual war right now. It is all around us. And those who don't know Jesus definitely will not understand the true meaning of this song. We have victory in Jesus !!!
such a awesome song.really makes me feel better when im down.it makes me think of the times i struggled with addiction and reminds me that anything is possible with just a little faith.god bless theocracy
hey, you have done a good job, really that song makes me cry, think, and see that we are in a constant war to the power of darkness, but we will be victorious in the name of JESUS CHRIST!!!
Romans 6:Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 10For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
Keep fighting man, this song and theocracy kicks ass. I was just diagnosed recently with an oligodendroglioma brain tumor/cancer. Lord I pray for us both to get rid of this demon this sickness.
Hey dude you dont have to be afraid. This song tells about whatkind of is spiritual battle and how God is with us in hard moments when demons wont leave us alone:)
i've been searching for new amazing music to get into that's around the genres of prog or power metal, and i've been searching, dismissing, searching, finding decent bands but just not quite what i wanted to hear, and then finally, here i am, Theocracy, fucking amazing, i usually need to hear a few songs before judging a band, but this is a great start, and i judge this as some shiny gold of metal music, it's delicious, easy to get into, yet something more than average :)
One of the best christian musics i ever saw. Such melody and lyrics, God bless them, to produce more to His glory, and us, to be able to buy all of it. hahahahaha
14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 17But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Thanks for the video with lyrics! It is easier to share this with friends that way. Great song and great band. I saw Theocracy open for Sonata Arctica and they blew away all the other opening acts. They are as good live as their recordings!
Ooooooohhhhhhhh-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! YES! Well done, JonGuitarHero! Excellent song choice. God bless and lay the demons to rest. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!
18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 19I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
God bless these guys, making christian based metal sound appealing to the ear doesn't always come out right to my ears but I enjoy their work. God bless you guys as well, hope you are well!
11Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Well done! I never tire of this song. I'm inspired to do my own video version of this song. I might just do that. I was a media/video/film major at one time. Back when MTV was in its heyday. Never really accomplished that. The music with these lyrics are just so incredibly powerful. I suggested to Matt Smith that this song is practically a direct response and answer to the ambiguity that Steve Harris poses in "Dance of Death." I agree with Smith, that Christians should be leaders and not followers in the music business. We should be the innovators, not the imitators. When are enough going to get that message. There was a time, this was so. J.S. Bach anyone? The heathen admired the godly. It is time to reverse the trend. If the Miley Cyruses and Katy Perrys want to join the herd, then let them burn! They made their bed. They will now have to sleep in it ...
+fooser77 Ah, Bach. A master of classical, God-fearing, music. "Fugue in G Minor" anyone? As for letting someone burn, that's up to God, not us. Warn them, so that they do not burn needlessly. Other than that, I agree, and await your video. God bless and hope it goes well! :-)
22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
FiSTofSTEeL112 DT has some pretty amazing lyrics, too. Surrounded, Learning to Live, I Walk Beside You, This Is the Life, and the Ministry of Lost Souls come to mind.
@xXinsaneWolFxX4587 my brother had problems just like this old tempations wants come back to want to dance with him.but i told him to tell them to go away in Jesus name.but later i come to realize I myself have that problem.If any song in the world hits the nail on the head its this song.

@MrPAvdBerg7 I'm not sure it speaks to every living soul. The Bible makes it fairly clear that only converted Christians (those saved by their faith in Jesus Christ) are the ones this speaks to.
@JinxSharpieMarkers Whoever continually commits sin is its slave. Not to say people are evil as they could be, but they cannot please God aside from being born again. Even if so-called "rebelling against sin" (I haven't seen this in the Bible) looks good on the outside it's not always the case inwardly. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness." mt23:27
When a christian rock song makes you cry, that means: God is blessing you through the lyrics or the message...so this is biblical...we are in a constant war versus evil, but Jesus Christ is protecting us every second.
Praise the Lord, Hallelujah!
gyurka777 I'm happy to finally find a comment that's praising God, instead of the usual, "I'm atheist, but this bands kinda good." Praise God :3
Thank you, I try to post God's word, so every one may read and be touched for the Holy Spirit. Thank you again, and God bless you!
Rock and Metal are rather similar... but this is Metal through and through. Just thought I'd point that out HAHAHAHA God Bless!
God inspired metal not only brings a tear to the eye..........it brings tears to both eyes........again and again!
I've cried every time I've listened to it so far...
Thank you Jesus. You alone can help me when I am tempted and my flesh is weak.
Romans 7 put to music in a truly magnificent way...
Yes.. I know I'm 5 years too late, but this is amazing. Thank you smmm

As a former addict, this song has become an anthem for me. I listen to it often when I struggle. Thanks for posting.
This song is so true and deep. It speaks to every living soul on earth! Father help us, lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil!
AWESOME METAL MASTERPIECE!

In general metal is dying as being extremely popular. It's not really constricting only christian metal.
When I first heard about Christian Rock i was seriously sceptical but these guys are amazing and really talented, actually one of my favourite bands now :)
great lyrics..feeling the struggle to fight the demons. You have to fight for me today, LORD..!
That is true Fabian. We are in a spiritual war right now. It is all around us. And those who don't know Jesus definitely will not understand the true meaning of this song. We have victory in Jesus !!!
Their best song in my opinion.
I am and mirror of souls takes the cake for me
So powerful song with powerful message,,,,Be at your guard,because evil is always lurking.
This song always remembers me that God is greater then the evil ones. Thanks brothers!
GOD BLESS THEOCRACY!!!
Powerful song. I love Theocracy.
+David Argel I'm starting to see why. 2nd song of theirs I heard so far, and I LOVE IT!!! :-)
+Christopher Jones all their stuff is incredible.
Ryan T Yep.
such a awesome song.really makes me feel better when im down.it makes me think of the times i struggled with addiction and reminds me that anything is possible with just a little faith.god bless theocracy
Incredible vocal range!
Let the gates of Hell be opened and let my enemies rise against me. I shall not fear, for my Lord won this war long before the first battle was waged.
my favorite song. god bless theocracy.
phenomenal band, may God place His blessings upon these guys
This song deserves a billion views,I love it!!
hey, you have done a good job, really that song makes me cry, think, and see that we are in a constant war to the power of darkness, but we will be victorious in the name of JESUS CHRIST!!!
I worship to this song. The hook is so powerful! Praise god!!
Romans 7. so true yet so easy to use as an excuse to sin.
Romans 6:Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
And as I’m battling brain and lungs cancer this is putting things in perspective 💪💪😎🖖
Keep fighting man, this song and theocracy kicks ass. I was just diagnosed recently with an oligodendroglioma brain tumor/cancer. Lord I pray for us both to get rid of this demon this sickness.

This song is awesome. Tells clearly about truly spiritual battle what we cant see :)
this is my favorite Theocracy's song
My favorite song by them by far! I can absolutely relate to this song so much I am almost physically attached to it. It's just so so so true.
Wow, awesome, and I am so glad you included the lyrics, it made it easier to understand.What a powerful song, gave me chills.
One of the best christian musics i ever saw. Such melody and lyrics, God bless them, to produce more to His glory, and us, to be able to buy all of it. hahahahaha
i love how its so eerie
14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Blesses I am from Colombia...
First time listening to this song. I love it. Gives me shivers!
Im not a christian but this song is amazing!
Thanks for the video with lyrics! It is easier to share this with friends that way.
Great song and great band.

Ooooooohhhhhhhh-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
YES! Well done, JonGuitarHero! Excellent song choice. God bless and lay the demons to rest. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!
Masterpiece!
I can relate to this song way to much.
First time hearing this band and song. Awesome and powerful. The message is clear! Father come and Lay the demon to rest!
18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
😍😍 Theocrasy .
5:51 one of my favorite parts of the song
I couldn't stop making Tenacious D references the whole 9 minutes.
God bless these guys, making christian based metal sound appealing to the ear doesn't always come out right to my ears but I enjoy their work. God bless you guys as well, hope you are well!
this would have been a great single to be played on radiou
