STIGMATA
I walked across a desert of strife and despair.
Spent countless years afraid, choking on desperate prayers.
I’m breathing doubt and depression
Exhaling aggression.
I'm starving for salvation for a faithless world.
God, hear these words
Guide me through this wasteland.
Clear the dust from these eyes.
Provide a path.
Give me the strength to survive.

Stigmata!
His scars are the proof.
No matter what you say
His words are the truth.

Stigmata!
Push these nails through.
I sing for the Son. You're nothing but traitors.
You snakes will try to lock me up, mock these words, and feed the lies of the corrupt.
I won't deny my Father’s crown.
So you can crucify me upside down.
Crucify me upside down
I’ll die for my Father's crown!

Stigmata!
His scars are the proof.
No matter what you say, His words are the truth.

Stigmata!
Push these nails through.
I sing for the Son. You're nothing but traitors.
I lay my burdens at the tree. Only in death am I set free.
I’ve been through hell!
I’ll face the storm as the clouds build and rain over my head.
And the sands wash away into a sea of blood.
Cleanse me.
Cleanse me through tribulation.
Kingdom come!
Thy will be done.

One of my favorite bands, Peter asked to be crucified upside down as not to even die like his lord, how humble is that? Incredible.

[Crux]

That line "I'll die for my father's crown " rattled my spine

[joshtheguitarguy]

Aggressive worship! Makes my soul happy!

[L.A.Sprague]

I... I am amazed to see such faithful lyrics with such actually genuine metal music. And to see the authenticity and balance of your songs. You're not afraid of the venomous doubt that poisons our blood and to be transparent about the unbearable darkness of this realm. And yet, in equal integrity, you cling to the truth of Christ and His cross. Unmatched, really. Simply unmatched.

[NafiNowsin]

You're telling me I can headbang AND worship my Father, Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ??? 🙌🏻 Ain't God so good??? Metal has been my first love and my comfort in music throughout the years. Overtime I have found Jesus and also simultaneously branched out to loving and enjoying other genres, but always come back to metal as my love. Discovering this & now having my both worlds collide... no words.

"I won't deny my father's crown!
SO YOU CAN CRUCIFY ME UPSIDE

Don't get me wrong, I Love this song, but this is the best part of the song.

[thomashlad]

Praise our Lord and savior Jesus Christ!

[Jcintelligent]

"So you can crucify me upside down"

That's pretty neat. Peter is supposed to have said that when he was condemned to death by crucifixion, because he felt as though he did not deserve to die in the same manner as Christ did; that he deserved less dignity, so to speak. I love that it was included in the lyrics.

Part 1 randomly played in a playlist i was listening to on Spotify and here i am lol. God bless and great music 😁

[danielsisk]

I'm not a Christian and I haven't been for a long time. I've got nothing but respect though for those who aren't afraid to openly share what they believe, especially in music. Metal/hardcore/metalcore or just heavy music in general is my favorite, so I appreciate it even more in heavy genres. That being said, don't be silenced by haters. You have just as much right to be open as anyone else does. Keep rocking!

[Cryfield]

There we go man! We need more heavy christian metal songs. The truth needs to be heard!

[mr.posterizer]

I am happy to see so much faith put into these lyrics. I will die for my fathers crown. Nothing can tear me away from my loving father. Gave his life for me, to live again. We love you Jesus. ❤️

[MyFavoriteSportsballTeam]

Love this. Unapologetically heavy, unapologetically faithful. Hope your band continues to grow in the future.

[shaystuter]

That kingdom come, thy will be done at the end hits so hard

[stuartblair]

You guys are so awesome. To have lyrics like this in this genre is just an absolute game changer for Christians who enjoy heavy music. You are accomplishing the impossible for me and every other lost person listening to this by putting the words of Christ back into our ears. Amazing work!! God bless ☦️

[derekcoulthard-mnsd]

might be the greatest thing i have ever stumbled across online. Hail Christ

[GregRiffle]

Just found out about these guys today. I have apparently been sleeping! Sick! Can we just talk about that "Crucify me upside down" followed by that break down and perfect *blegh* So great!

[_Lugzan]

Wooow What a text and emotional, crushing music 😇
You snakes will try to lock me up
Mock these words
And feed the lies of corrupt
I won't deny my Father’s crown
So you can crucify me upside down

[cal]

I love seeing the younger generation so spirit filled. I had to grow up with Christianity INC. and even our metal was watered down….. I truly believe there is an outpouring onto the earth in these last days.

[ozarkrangergroup]

As a Christian, iv been on a spiral of destruction. Been at war inside myself with the world. This song uplift me.
