Metal Song of the Day – Incision (Demon Hunter Month. Lyrics Included) From Storm the Gates of Hell (2007)

Incision by Demon Hunter, is a song from their 4th amazing album, Storm the Gates, released in 2007.

Incision is one of the most unique songs on Demon Hunter’s fourth full-length studio album, “Storm the Gates of Hell”. The drum beat opening is absolutely genius and one of my favorite intros on the album, but it also features a very unique vocal style that stretches Demon Hunter’s sound in different ways and ties it all up in beautiful fashion. I didn’t like Incision when I first heard, but it grew on me and I now consider it one of my favorite songs of this tremendously awesome album.

Lyrics:

Don’t leave us
They said that you had gone astray
Don’t lead us
Away from the light

We stood behind the veil and watched you walk away from us
You shattered all our dreams in one fatal mistake

You fractured every piece of life that we cared about, remember how
You breathed in us new life and then you took it away, you’ll never live that down

I gave you every guiding word to cut it off, cut it off, cut it off, cut it off
Now you hand me back the blade to make that first incision for you

[Chorus]
Wait and see
The weight of life may be the end of me; the tension, break me

We held you up on high so why did you abandon us?
We never thought you’d be the one to fall so far

You fractured every piece of life that we cared about, remember how
You breathed in us new life and then you took it away, you’ll never live that down

I gave you every guiding word to cut it off, cut it off, cut it off, cut it off
Now you hand me back the blade to make that first incision for you

For you

[Chorus]

About Demon Hunter Month
January 2013 is dedicated to the Christian metal band Demon Hunter, arguably my favorite band; and will feature songs from their entire catalog featured daily throughout the month, one a day. Whether you like metal, believe in God or not, check these songs out as you may be pleasantly surprised and hopefully you will discover some new-to-your-ears music to enjoy. Demon Hunter’s sound is extremely diverse, not all songs feature screams and growls, some are slow, sung ballads; others are heartfelt, all are deep with powerful lyrics that will make you think and ponder, as the sound takes you away.
