Wake up, all ye theocracized!

[koffish]

Hey!
It has become so quiet around here. Let's change that!
How are y'all doing? I know the wait for the Mirror of Souls release is tough, but let's make the best of the time

Can someone help me out with the lyrics in Laying the Demon to Rest? I listen to the sample all the time but there are a few words I can't hear.
The whole first part (the one with the gang vocals/screamin')...
and...

As the battle rages on and on, I face __ ____ ___ __ __ ___....

When fallen angels won't leave me alone, Father come and lay the demon to rest.

Hehe I got some kind of idea about that big empty part above but not sure.

"As the battle rages on and on, I face the things that put my faith to the test," I believe.

I actually can't make out the first part, either.

Hm, I guess I haven't been posting much because there's been a lot going on around my campus this past week, and I've already preordered my copy of Mirror of Souls, so it just seems like a matter of time before the boards are bursting again with accolades for the new album!

Can someone help me with the sample from Laying The Demon To Rest? It seems the samples have been taken away for a while...

 

[HeavenKnows]

...On my spirit again
Again temptation calls
I can hear it
As the battle rages on and on...

It's a little easier to get if you hear the whole song - it was on the SW GA Metalfest CD and it's

Well, while we're on the topic of lyrics, let's take a look at the latest two samples, shall we?

The Mirror of Souls teaser has kinda baffled me from the beginning, when we just had the choral part. I've got some parts here and there, but there's so much going on in the massive choral section (which sounds amazing, by the way) that I can't make out much except for the first part. What I can pick out:

"I can't see a thing, and I've never felt
So alone in all my life
But the rain keeps coming down

Caught in the fury of the storm..."

After this, I can make out phrases and words, but I'm missing a lot.

Laying the Demon to Rest:

"...broken down
We must not
Enter(?) temptation
...
Darkness falls
On my spirit again
Again temptation calls
I can hear it

As the battle rages on and on
I face the things that put my faith to the test
When fallen angels won't leave me alone
Father come and lay the demon to rest

When my sword has broken off in my hand
I see the dark futility of the flesh
When I'm about to fall, please help me stand
Father come and lay the demon to rest"

The Mirror of Souls one is something like this:
"I can't see a thing, and I've never felt
So alone in all my life
But the rain keeps coming down

Caught in the fury of the storm
Body and soul weary and worn
(another twist of fate)
never been so afraid before
never should have opened the door
(never should have to bow?)

I question my fate, my end to die in this storm?
maybe this was the plan down from the day I was born"

Something like that.

In the first one I hear...

"Broken Down.
Lead! Us! Not!
Into TEMPTATIOOOOON!
But! De-liv-er us!
From the EVIL WAAAAAAYS!
Dark-Ness! Falls!
On my spirit agaaaaaaain!
Temp-Tati-On Calls!
I can hear IIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT!!! <--- I must say, I am IMPRESSED with Matt's range.
As the battle rages on and on
I face the things that put my faith to the test
When fallen angels won't leave me alone
Father come and lay the demon to rest

When my sword has broken off in my hand
I see the dark futility of the flesh
When I'm about to fall, please help me stand
Father come and lay the demon to rest"
