In the mid nineties, I had a little red Buick and a big ol’ bass box in the trunk, and would listen to “Christian Rock”, cranked to 11.
(What did you say? Huh? Can you say that again, I didn’t hear you….)
I have gotten away from that genre for many reasons, the least of which may be a loss of hearing, but some songs have stuck with me over the decades.
The artist’s I listened to sought to reflect Scriptural teaching for the most part. They ranged from “preaching” pop culture religion to significant theological teaching. As I listened to the lyrics, I found some to be quite challenging.
To be honest, I listened because I could justify the rock beat with “sanctified lyrics”.
Occassionaly I will post a song, supply the lyrics and make a comment or two. If you decide to listen to the tune, turn the speaker down unless you are already deaf. Some of the songs tend to have a certain “volume” about them!
This post will consider the song.
Walking Evil – by X-Sinner
Lyric were as follows
You don’t know me; I’m not what you see,
Call me satan, invader of your dreams,
All your nightmares are my creation, my specialty,
Going to get you, can’t resist, you are my slave.
You’re full of lies, (you’re full of lies)
You think you’re so wise,
You’re walking evil, that’s your disguise.
Broken promise; why keep it just for you?
Shameless master – I control what you do,
Got your future in the palm of my hand,
You can’t change it, you don’t even understand.
You’re full of lies, (you’re full of lies)
You think you’re so wise,
You’re walking evil, that’s your disguise.
Whoa,
Walking evil.
Sacred servants sacrifice in the dark of night,
Helpless children scream in fear, to my delight,
Soul destruction, blinding eyes with godly power,
Fooling mankind, making dull the light of truth.
You’re full of lies, (you’re full of lies)
You think you’re so wise,
You’re walking evil, that’s your disguise.
Walking evil,
Walking evil, (evil)
You don’t run my life.
These guys sound very much like AC/DC. Take a listen!
Let me know what you think of the lyrics, and of the tunes!
