Feel As Though You Could by Demon Hunter is a song from their fifth full-length album, 2010′s The World Is A Thorn.
Feel As Though You Could is my favorite song on Thorn, and is a criminally overlooked song due to the complexity of the name. Even I often forget the title because it is so long and such an unusual name for a song. It’s not an easy one to remember. The lyrics on this song are absolutely phenomenal, and this is a perfect song from the opening riffs all the way through the first chorus. It loses a bit of steam after that and I’m not a fan of the latter half, but the chorus is still one of the most badass that Demon Hunter has ever composed. The lyrics are just so flat out awesome, the song is so heavy, and it hits you like a ton of bricks while shining the Light of Christ from beginning to end. No one does it like Demon Hunter. Gotta love it.
Lyrics:
Rebellion
Oh cheap thrills and vacant youth
Carry out your own will
Shovel deep and bury truth
Social stain, punk wreck, mother’s own defect
Sing that song you know so well
Sing it one foot in Hell
Eyes wide black
Turn your back
Oh, how the foolish will see
How every man he will bleed
The vultures circle, halo of the dead
Another vicious cycle, swallow what you’re fed
And now the vultures circle, halo of the dead
Another vicious cycle
Be true to your dissent
Somehow feel as though you could
Somehow, in all your petty suffering
Burn this down
Rejection of weak trends and fake hate
This is what you’re fighting for? Some fools mistake
I will devour you
I’ll overpower you
Rise from the ashes, screaming eternity
Ignite upon these words and breathe defeat
Your shallow deeds make Hell for wood and stone, flesh and bone, this alone

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.
