Sounds good. Still like the other one better, but LDB is not my favorite Chistmas tune. What really stands out I think is the production.

Sounds killer - guitar sounds heavier and better - everything just sounds great.

\m/

 

[Kenneth R.]

awesome

 

[Reach For The Sky]

Much better than the usual!
Great sound (heavy guitars and great 'attack' on the drums)!!

 

[Der Schriftsteller]

I don't like the song so much, cause stories, where some boy has no present for Jesus and in the end Jesus smiles at him, are boring cause they are all the same.

Anyway the Theocracy version doesn't sound bad and already shows the skills of Seth and Shawn. The meking of video is cool too.
I also like the Christmas medley of last year.

 

[rafaelheaven]

The Little Drummer Boy

Come they told me
Pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the kIng
Pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum,
pum pum pum pum
So to honor Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
When we come
baby Jesus
Pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too
Pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give our King
Pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you
Pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum
Mary nodded
Pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him
Pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum

 

[Dream Thief]

[crimson sacrifice]

[Bluefan]

Cool, only just got round to listening to this!!

Excellent stuff!!

That smiley isn't that nice, his hand is a not so nice symbol, sounds quite stupid, but the meaning behind it is even more stupid.

correct me if I'm wrong, i hope at least someone know more about it.

 

[Spyderman-Hyderman]

I hate having an idea and someone else beats me to it.
Well done......better off that you did it than me. Sounds great.

 

[Spyderman-Hyderman]

correct me if I'm wrong, i hope at least someone know more about it.

since not ALL Theocracy fans may be Christian (even remotely) it's difficult to expect that everyone knows where this hand gesture gets it's roots. Or, some Christians may genuinely not be aware of anything sinister about it. Like everything else overtime people become desensitized to its meaning. I'm still working on the Easter mystery. A great man dies, and three days later rises again......how do we get coloured eggs and bunnies from that?

 

[Der Schriftsteller]

1. The hand gesture does not have it's origins in the Satanic scene
2. Easter is the holiday od new life. The new life of Christ, but also metaphorical the new life of nature in springtime. Our European ancestors saw rabbits as a symbol of new life cause they reproduced in springtime. It's same thing with the eggs; I also heard that the eggshell represents the tomb of Christ and the breaking of it represents the victory over death.

 

[Spyderman-Hyderman]

re:#2 great answer...however bunnies and eggs representing new life howver great that is, is still dwarfed by the overall significance of Jesus' death and resurrection. How that has been "replaced" by bunnies astounds me.
but this is another thread all together.
Little Drummer Boy = YAY

 

[Doogie_Brian]

yes, little drummer boy yay. I liked last years christmas special better, but oh well I'll take what I can get.

To answer the easter question, Der Schriftsteller eluded to whats going on, but Ill try to spell it out. Way back in the day, some cultures celebrated Easter (original spelling and pronunciation ?) as the spring festival of fertility. It is even mentioned in Acts 12:4 (KJV). Rabbits and chickens tend to be symbols of such. It turns out that our the ressurection of Christ, Passover, and the original easter are closely timed, and so were brought together at some point.

So, in short, while Christians celebrated Easter as the resurrection of Jesus, other cultures celebrate fertility bringing in the eggs and bunnies.
