Convictions - Buried In Thorns (Official Music Video)

The Official Music Video for Buried In Thorns by Convictions.

Lyrics:
She fell back from his fist for the final time,
slowly slipping out of consciousness.
How could a picture-perfect family from the outside
be so broken?
He made his children watch as their innocence was ripped apart.
The angels wept overhead as the demons took hold of his head.
He’s not the saint he always pretended to be; the devil lives inside a broken man.

She’s never gonna sleep again,
and the scars you left are the reason.
Battered and bruised, a broken youth,
this curse was left unspoken.
She’s never gonna dream again;
her heart won’t beat; it’s broken.
Tattered and torn, buried in thorns,
her innocence was stolen.

Your own daughter deserves a real father.
They say love your enemies, but I hate you.
Your own daughter deserves a real father.
You hit a woman with the same hands that you pray to God.

Pray to God,
that He has mercy on your
malevolent, putrid,
vile, corrupted,
perverted mind.
You wretched, loathsome,
pathetic excuse of a soul.
I fell from your fist for the final time.
I’m drawing the line.
With a clear conscience, I’ll break the silence.
I will escape the circle.
The circle of violence!

In Christ alone,
save this broken soul.
In Christ alone,
give me strength to speak my truth.
With atonement, with justice,
bring forth a season of redemption.

Thank you all so so much for the kind and supportive comments. 
NEW ALBUM "THE FEAR OF GOD" 
Drops AUG 2nd 
PRE-ORDER NOW <3

[RottiePippinIV]

A lot of bands just aren't writing hard hitting lyrics like you guys have been for so long. Fearless, raw, faith filled, emotional and brutal lyrics.

I remember when you guys played "Memories in the Attic" at a venue called Jupiter Hall in Albany New York and their snow machine went off during the song! Now my wife has become a metalhead because of your music!

[orosalese]

Forgiving my dad of his mistakes and letting go of all the anger, disappointment, thinking of him in such a bad light was one of the first things and the hardest thing I had to give to God. I was atheist for years because how could I love God when I can't even love the image bearer in my family. Now I understand how good God his and Christ's love is made perfect where people's aren't. Amazing song, you guys got something special going here! God bless

[shadowscythes]

I didn't think you guys would put out another single even more intense than Four Horses...this is insane

[unwantedHero]

This band is so criminally underrated. This whole album stays on repeat. Come back to Fort Worth!

[cdh]

Been a fan a few years now and These guys just keep getting better. Lyrical depth and grinding riffs with howling growls. Love it and Your work is showing . Glory be to God!

[leviwhite]

There are always going to be critics, much like the ones littered here in the comments. Play your music. Make a joyful noise unto God. Sing from your hearts. The songs you sing come from deep within. The messages in your writings are clear. Whether it be a song clearly written to glorify God, something on the touchy subject of suicide (TPOG, ) or this new one dealing with abuse at the hands of a loved one...every song you boys have released has come from your hearts and will absolutely be taken to heart by many of your listeners. Personally, I loved this. You find ways to glorify Him while also connecting to real-world issues such as suicide, abuse, and depression. No matter how serious the subject matter, you always find ways to bring it back to one thing. Having faith in Christ alone. God bless you, boys!

[codyb]

God is blessing you guys and the absolutely phenomenal awesome incredible magnificent music you guys make another awesome single

[Chazorian]

Just like the rest of their latest singles: Awesome! 😺 Greetings from Finland.

[BrotherInGodofficial]

Christian Metal should always be in the mainstream but unfortunately it isn't, God Bless you all! ✝️🤟

[goobie_AHA]

The production quality, lyrics, how you always keep Christ the center focus, but also connect to your listeners with lyrics they can relate to. Absolutely love it. Can’t get enough! 🔥🔥🔥

[tristiangudduschat]

this was soooo good I just had great worship to this song. Love the way you change the pace as your story progresses. 🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[HavocEntertainment]

As a kid who's faced severe abuse myself forgiveness is such an important thing. A guy brought up an amazing point on instagram today. Forgiveness is a key to help us move on & move forward. I need to see it that way. I realize that more & more as I get older. I tried to ignore it for way too long. No matter what's happened I couldn't hate my family. I love them & truly want the best for them. I think of Joseph, to ask his brothers who brutally beat him "If He Was God?" basically saying "Am I the one to have the right to judge?". I appreciate your guys music a lot. Prayers to everyone here. 🙏🏻

[AugustBurnsteinRed]

Wow 😳 that was good, lyrics were deep, only 🙏 in Christ alone indeed

[yahbuddy]

Going in for the King of Kings Jesus Christ! Let’s go!!!

[You_dont_know_my_name_]

*Hears growl in intro. Likes video without further questions.*

[divineglory]

Insane!!! Those lyrics hit so hard, goodness🔥

Lyrics:

She fell back from his fist for the final time
Slowly slipping out of consciousness
How could a picture-perfect family from the outside be so broken?
He made his children watch as their innocence was ripped apart
The angels wept overhead as the demons took control of his head
He's not the saint he always pretended to be
The devil lives inside a broken man

[Chorus]
She's never gonna sleep again
And thе scars you left are the rеason
Battered and bruised, a broken youth
This curse was left unspoken
She's never gonna dream again
Her heart won't beat; it's broken
Tattered and torn, buried in thorns
Her innocence was stolen
[Verse 2]
Your own daughter deserves a real father
They say love your enemies, but I hate you
Your own daughter deserves a real father
You hit a woman with the same hands that you pray to God
You hit a woman with the same hands that you pray to God
He has mercy on your malevolent
Putrid, vile, corrupted, perverted mind
You wretched, loathsome, pathetic excuse of a soul

[Chorus]
She's never gonna sleep again
And the scars you left are the reason
Battered and bruised, a broken youth
This curse was left unspoken
She's never gonna dream again
Her heart won't beat; it's broken
Tattered and torn, buried in thorns
Her innocence was stolen

[Bridge]
I fell from your fist for the final time
I'm drawing the line
With a clear conscience, I'll break the silence
I will escape the circle
The circle of violence
I will escape the circle of violence

[Outro]
In Christ alone
Save this broken soul
In Christ alone
Give me strength to speak my truth
With atonement, with justice
Bring forth a season of redemption

[HockeyPrayer]

Great song! Can't wait for more! Hard hitting and meaningful lyrics. Father's should not hurt their children.

[stuffthefame]

love the song, can't wait to hear the album!
