Relentless Intolerance by Demon Hunter is a song from their third full-length album, 2005′s The Triptych.
Badass intro, eh? One of the best on the album (and that’s high praise!). Relentless Intolerance is one of the most overtly Christian songs from Demon Hunter, outright and with no mincing of words, condemning those who believe The Bible is an outdated book for an outdated faith with no place in this world. Instead of working our way forwards by embracing the truth of the Word of God, we are working our way backwards by embracing that which damns the soul. True to the name, this is a heavy song with a very cool driving beat to it that I absolutely love. Relentless Intolerance also features an amazing sung chorus that is extremely singable and will definitely have you humming along. This song, along with “The Science of Lies”, are two of my favorite songs on The Triptych album that are often overlooked IMHO, and both complement each other well; working like two sides of the same coin in terms of subject matter. “Believe the Words that stand the test of time / Not the slurs of the youth” Damn straight!
Lyrics:
These eyes, they will gaze and reflect
And gauge every thought I reject
No sway of stance in changing times
Just a narrow mind commanding respect
We stand on the words of the wise
And languish every call to despise
We know the hollow wound of their lies
No reformed edition
Never losing vision
Now into forever
Only getting better
Ways of now, spiral down
How much more we allow
Keeping sight of the vow we made
Holding fast to the hope
So when we stand in the line of wrath
The true and righteous will know
The foundation that we used to uphold
Now regarded as the madness of old
Every alteration made to the standard of truth
Is a nail in the coffin we hold
We embody everything they despise
Because they see us through degenerate eyes
So when they cast you down as intolerant filth
Stand firm, never bow to the lies
No reformed edition
Never losing vision
Now into forever
Only getting better
Ways of now, spiral down
How much more we allow
Keeping sight of the vow we made
Holding fast to the hope
So when we stand in the line of wrath
The true and righteous will know
See the scorn inside my eyes
Keeping sight of the vow we made
Holding fast to the hope
So when we stand in the line of wrath
The true and righteous will know
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.
