This is what I love about Demon Hunter. They can be amazingly hard, but can also be amazingly melodic. That's a big selling point for metal bands in my opinion, to prove they can be more than nonsensical screaming. Not to put down on anyone's musical taste. That's just my opinion. Enjoy what you will. :)
Yeah, they make even their hardest song melodic. That paired with their Christianity, and Christian meanings behind their songs make them my favorite band.
Lyrcs: Now the soil takes your breath Nothing left Just bones and empty roads And a want for something more Open door But careful not to ask And holding fast Now sorrow burns around you Anger, fear and death surround you So afraid Helpless Where is the void you're after? Emptiness, the final chapter So afraid Helpless hope To the hollow hands of fate No escape No panic, no reprieve And the faith it was too blind Too unkind But faithful in the wholeness of The hole itself [Chorus] Let go Follow [Chorus x2]
Every song is so powerful. No matter how hardcore or melodic, it always hits home. I hope more people fall in love with these guys as I did 8 years ago. thank you for the great sounds and lyrics guys
This song is simply exquisite. Demon Hunter always manages to end each album on an amazing song, which isn't too hard when all of their songs are amazing
This song is deep. Hey all. New Demon Hunter fan here. I've been listening to their songs back-to-back and I haven't disliked any yet. I have so many years to catch up on. :)
I just found this song tonight and I love it. Demon Hunter is becoming one of my favorite bands despite me being an atheist. There have been several points in my life where I've prayed and when I've hoped that there was a God. To me, this song encapsulates that hopeless, desperate feeling to go back on your beliefs and pray for something you aren't even sure is there to bring some good into this world.
I think Demon Hunter touches that inbetween place that most of us don't have words to describe. It's not fully this way or that, it's just this calm melancholy space they put words to. This song gives me a similar feeling, it's like through all this pain surrounding us maybe we all have that helpless glimmer that there's something more to this.
I hope you find God or something else that fulfills your need to be answered. You may not appreciate this but I can only say God Bless you. We’ll all meet in the end inside the great absolute filled with peace and love 🤝🙏🏼
Demon hunter has helped through soooo much these past few months. Many of there songs (especially this one) have picked me up and kept me up through every hard time I've had.
This song describes many years of my life where I struggled with severe depression. Demon Hunter was always a band I could cling to. Now that I'm past that part of my life and am still alive, this song really reminds me of where I've been and where I'm going. Hang in there! It' gets better, even if you have to grab life by the horns and give it a good few shakes.
"Faithful in the wholeness of the hole itself" is quite possibly one of the most powerful lyrics that encapsulates our daily struggle to find purpose, pleasure, and meaning in life.
My family is suffering terminal cancer, and i am alone and depressed. This song really describes my life. I love it, and love Demon Hunter. Somehow it keeps me going.
Yea, i understand what your saying, I'm jsut saying Heavens glory is a whole new story,but yea, I will fail you is one of the songs he makes which just shows how he's humble
God. NOT god. There is only One True God. Show respect. By you putting a lower case g you are saying God is weak and false when God is the ultimate Strength and Absolute Truth.
Anger fear and death surround you...... I don't know what it is about that line but it keeps me wanting the song to never end. First time I heard it I had to stop everything I was doing to just listen to it, it was soo beautiful. So edgy yet calming. Chaotically seraphic is all I can say.
I feel like this song describes that final moment just before death where you know that you are helpless and cannot continue living yet still hold out hope for an afterlife, whether it exists or not.
I feel like God has given me this song for a reason, it speaks to me unlike any other. My life has been stuck in a rut for a while, cant seem to get anywhere in life and i just want to give up, everywhere i turn is just a wall of doubt and regret. I often hope that God will lift me out of this hole, but i also feel that i have been subject to this torment for a reason that only he knows. No matter how much it hurts i will not curse God because of my circumstances, because i trust that he has given them to me for a reason that i will not know until i see him. With that said i still feel like i shouldn't be here, that my life is pointless, a hopeless void of nothing only to die an unfulfilled purpose that could have been. As my life goes on it hurts more and more but it becomes unbearable at times. But its the trial God has given me and i will press on as he sees fit. Demon Hunter always gives me a temporary hopeful outlook every time i listen to them, but then i found this song, and not to sound selfish but i swear it has been written solely for me to listen to, to feel empowered by. and of course others who may be dealt the same cards.
HyenaBro777 ! Yeah BRO' You ROCK!!! The honesty of you and yor generation is so real, and I appreciate it cuz my generation (the 1970s) was Not Real, Just Very Stoned and pretty much evil, even me, but God got most of us thru' it, and I'd like to say it gets much better but it's always a challenge, but Jesus keeps us (me) from suicide, and HOPE is reality w/ him and I'm very pissed @ all my dear friends and family that committed suicide cuz I miss them SO Much, and some day I will tell them I love them VERY MUCH!!!!!!

I feel you man. I'm glad you're staying strong. I've seen people I admire and look up to crumble under the weight of less. You'll make through this man. God never turns his back on his children. Stay safe and God bless brother!
It is not my place to question your faith or to argue against it, but I will say one thing. Find a reason to live, find a goal to strive toward, find something you love and don't want to let go of, or failing that find something you want to see, to touch with your own hands, something that is either out of your reach right now or doesn't even exist yet, and strive toward it. Find a reason to exist worth pursuing, worth fighting for and you will no longer need to hope for someone else to give you a reason. True power comes from within, we can each do amazing and heroic things if we are willing to do anything to achieve them all you have to do is find something you're willing to die for, and it is only one step further to be willing to live for it or to desire to live to see it. I can't tell you what to look for because it will be unique to you, though others may share your goal ultimately it is always slightly different within the mind of those seeking it, so all I can say is to try.
DRSethFCM I appreciate your mature advice, and i believe everything you said and in fact its that small bit of hope i ll have that im still here, but it fades slowly. I have a passion that ive always wanted to strive for, you can probably assume what it is based on my username and channel description (as oddball as it may be to anyone who doesn't understand) that i love hyenas, they are my most favorite things in the world, and i wanted to dedicate my life to helping a beautiful and misunderstood animal out of the stereotype they've been given, i dont expect you to understand my passion for them, but that's just it. People often question it, they tell me its stupid, they tell me that hyenas are stupid worthless animals and that i shouldn't waste my time with something like that, or that i should worry for my life doing such a thing. but i dont let the opinions of others affect me nor do i know how to explain why it is i have this passion, I just feel like it was something i was destined to do. Like ive said, ive dedicated much of my life towards that goal of working with them, but unfortunately, its just not something i can see happening anymore. Too much has gone wrong for me to fix, and i cant really find anything else worth doing with my life, simply because, i never thought it would come to this level of failure. Now at this point im just going through the routine of living, dont really have much of a family to care for, never had a girlfriend, don't want one, probably going to be homeless one of these days but that's ok. Can't even go to school for the reasons i want simply because of unfortunate circumstances i cant change. Sorry, i know complaining about myself on the internet is pointless, and whining in general is frowned upon, but i have nowhere else to vent to so i apologize. Anyways thank you for that, i have always held onto that belief but i found even that has failed me these days. i know my original post was about how God is doing this to me for a reason, but i still find myself questioning if hes even there, or if he is and i just failed at life so miserably even he has given up on me. Whatever though, ive been told that time fixes everything, so im still waiting. Still love hyenas and i feel thats the only reason im still here because i still have hope, that one day everything will turn around and my goal will come to light, but its just these times are very dark for me and its very hard to deal with. But hey im just a whiny bitch that needs to get my shit together, that's what the few people in my life tell me often.
I was pissed at this part of the album for the longest time. I pre-ordered the album to only get the non-deluxe version. They should have offered both versions for pre-order.
This stuff is as deep as the depths of the ocean trenches. This is so amazing to listen. It is so helpful in life to hear the music you can connect with. Being a Christian band only helps prove my point. God is speaking through them, and this helps me so much shorten my times in sorrowful pits.
One of their best ever written. Not too many bands can make tears run down my eyes from their music like Demon Hunter can. Ryan is such a great song writer.🤘🎸🤘✝️🙏
This is a song I often visit when I feel lonely or low. It's just one of those that reminds me the only way out of darkness is through and to me that's what helpless hope is. The times where there is no light. The moments where you can't stand up but you do it anyway. Ryan's voice is so melodic and beautiful. It truly has healing power.
This song hits me on a very deep level. It touches the chords of sadness; the Helpless. It moves me to a point of tears about the possibilities of the future; the Hope. Thank you, gentlemen; for writing this song. It helps a broken heart in a dark place
The best beautiful Demon Hunter song for me along with Dead Flowers and some of the War/Peace and Outlive tracks. This is amazing after seven years still 🥰
I hope one day DH releases a CD or Vinyl of all their bonus tracks, non-album songs, and B-Sides on it. I know you can get that already through The Blessed Resistance in digital format, but it would be so amazing to have a version you can hold in your hands. ❤
This song is the theme song to my life. It just perfectly describes my view of the world and know there is only one Hope and putting ones hope into one thing in life that isn't eternal leaves you with a void on your final days. I can feel God wrap His arms around me and take be away from the insanity of this world and leave everyone else to a helpless hope
Such a beautiful song and it speaks to me on so many different levels I suppose I have a "helpess hope" in me to help me of my wrongdoings or a "helpless hope" that this girl I like is the one for me. I love Demon Hunter so much
Because the lyric video for "Fear is Not my Guide" doesn't accept comments: That lyric videos cgi is insane. That song is amazing. So is this song but i've already commented on what I feel about it. lol
Doubt. That's what this song is about from my point of view. If I had a demon it's name would definitely be doubt. Something this song points out that I take to heart is that as a Christian, God does give you strength in his own way. He doesn't give you literal power, he doesn't change anything in the world you won't change yourself... instead he gives you hope. Until the day you die that's all he can give you because that's all you'll need. No matter how dark this world is, it is not hopeless.
