"In a sense, Hail picks up where Lower Still leaves off. What will that moment be like when all is laid before the Maker. What will I feel when I stand in His presence? I can only imagine that I will be completely speechless. Recently, I had been talking with a friend of mine about the incredible picture painted in Revelation 5. In it, John has a vision of the end of all things and of standing in the presence of G-d Almighty. In that moment he weeps inconsolably because he, nor any other man, is able to make things right. On that day we will all have "empty throats". We have also spent a lot of time recently as a band thinking on the fact that all of creation is, in a sense, simply spoken words from the mouth of Father G-d. Not only does He create by simply speaking, but He also continually wills it to keep existing by His Spoken Word. The juxtaposition between the complete power of G-d's word and the complete impotence of my own gave birth to the prayer/psalm that is this song."
"Hail" is just one of the songs from the new full-length which will be out this fall.
LYRICS:
Up from the deep, and from the furthest unseen reach,
a call is sounding forth sustained and deafening.
I cannot breathe, I choke to raise my voice and sing
no words remain instead I bow my head and weep.
Speak no more.
The terror and beauty, You echo into me;
all things are just words You chose to speak.
What You sing is flawless but I ring back discordant,
I'm a ruined wasted melody.
Sing no more.
Your words destroying everything;
the earth collapses under me.
How could I stand against Your voice?
Empty throat, all I make is noise.
Silence falls over me,
in that void You speak
one final word, "mercy."
Weep no more.
Majesty, Worship Your Majesty
Jesus who died, now glorified, King of all Kings
Majesty, kingdom authority
Flows from Your Throne unto Your own, Your anthem raise
Your anthem raise
King of all Kings
King of all...
All Hail!
