Supertones: Escape from Reason

Dustin Wright — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 19:08:24 +0000

That last post really got me remembering a song by the always cool OC Supertones. I love this song. Oh yeah, and make sure to read the lyrics (there’s a lot to them), and good luck keeping up them.

Supertones ~ Escape from Reason

Escape from Reason
The OC Supertones

Down Down Down
That’s the way we’re traveling
Our social fabric unravels
But who pulled the string
Philosophers politicians or the school teachers
Game of life and death and we’re sitting on the bleachers
What happened to our voice
What happened to our influence
Tell me who will listen to uneducated congregants
and why should they, when all we have to say is
Bumper sticker doctrine and cute catch phrases
Does this amaze us that no one will take us seriously
We talk big but then we sit in atrophy
Apathy they make comedy of our hypocrisy
Unaware of true biblical philosophy
So we gotta watch what we do and what they see
Cause we represent Christ plus Christianity

{Chorus}:
The underground sound here to take your mind higher
I pound the ground Burn it down like fire
We walk the long path, Still on the first half
You escape reason, we escape wrath.

God is not concerned with Gallup Poll opinion
Or if the whole human race were to disagree with Him
Truth is what I spit
But you ain’t hearing it
Or you ain’t having it
But it don’t matter which
‘Cause God is still Himself
and He could strike us dead
Even in the pink of health
You don’t think I should say that
You say you don’t believe that
Our opinion counts for zero,
Well that is simply that,
Like I’m Mojo that’s how it goes that’s just the
way of things,
God is not impressed disagreeing won’t change anything,
We all must beg for mercy and surely God will show it
There’s a reason for our hope you ask me how I know it
God said it and that without a doubt
“He who comes to me I will in no way cast out”

{Bridge}:
A city under siege who will you believe
champions of truth or of apostasy
you wanna take on me
you take on Elohim
He controls all the that was is and what will be

Tribute – Disciple

Disciple rocks (which by the way is their website: www.disciplerocks.com). They have a really cool rock sound and great lyrics. I found the video for the song below on YouTube.com and knew I had to post it as one of my favorite videos. You see, no matter what anybody thinks of the war in Iraq, we all still have friends and family over there. And those people need our support, not our constant politicizing of their sacrifices.

Anyway, I for one, do support our troops. I have the highest respect for someone who will sign up to risk their lives daily to protect my family, and my way of life. This song is a small tribute to those people I know and those I don’t, both the living and the dead who put their lives on the line for their friends and family and for those they don’t know.

Tribute
Disciple

The things your eyes have seen
Are the content of my darkest dreams
But you take it willingly
The war that keeps my family free

To all the brothers that have gone
I want your memory to live on
As I’m on my knees I hope your heart can hear me

I’m praying as you’re sleeping
Peace will find your dreams tonight
And you’ll know
I am so thankful for all you’ve done

Across the foreign shores
Are the souls I won’t ignore
That would not run from our enemies
As we rest in our peace

Tonight I’m praying for your child
That it won’t be a long while
‘Till all our brothers come home
To fight no more

I’m praying as you’re sleeping
Peace will find your dreams tonight
And you’ll know
I am so thankful for all you’ve done

And as the rain stops falling
I thank my God
It’s camouflaging the tears
The fall from my eyes
As you’re coming home

Come home

Horizon – 38th Parallel

No matter how hard life might seem, we can count on the fact that our redeemer will come for us once again, and what a day that will be. Until then we walk this hard road of life looking to the promise of heaven.

Horizon
38th Parallel

Another day burns away into darkness
Another blink of the eye of time
I am straining through the blackness
Ever searching for a sign

The days grow long and the days grow dark
And the days grow ever colder
The trust that I started with fades as I get older
Though the road is hard
It seems to me there is no way around this
From all you’ve done for me
I know you’ll never break your promise

Chorus
So here at the end of this day
Where the world is shaded in gray
I will look to the blue horizons and watch for you to come
When my hope is tattered and torn
When my faith is weathered and worn
I’ll look to the blue horizons

I am still walking, evading the shadows
I am still running that narrow line
I’ll go wherever you would have me go
Ever searching for a sign

After the World – Disciple

Disciple is one of those Christian groups that causes controversy for their album covers and tattoos. Some people feel that they don’t give off the positive image that, as Christians, we should give off. Most of their music is heavy metal, so the lyrics are a little hard to understand without the text of them to read, but once you understand the words, all of the skepticism that might have existed before will probably pass.

I found a video that some guy put together on youtube based on Disciple’s song “After the World”. The song is sung from the perspective of Jesus, and features a bunch of different pictures that kind of bring home the message of the song (it is not the actual music video, I haven’t seen that yet). Anyway, check it out.

And, yes, before you say anything, God knew us from conception, not just birth. I figure that that would be a hard word to make fit into a song. Anyway, on Disciple’s website, they use three verses to make the point of their song:

Jeremiah 1:5
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

Jeremiah 31:3
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.

Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

After the World
Disciple

You break the glass, try to hide your face
Recorded lines that just will not erase
And buried in your loss of innocence
You wonder if you’ll find it again

Was I there for the worst of all your pain?
And was I there when your blue skies ran away?
Was I there when the rains were flooding you off your feet?
Those were My tears falling down for you, falling down for you

I’m the One that you’ve been looking for
I’m the One that you’ve been waiting for
I’ve had My eyes on you ever since you were born
I will love you after the rain falls down
I will love you after the sun goes out
I’ll have My eyes on you after the world is no more

Did I arrange the light of your first day?
Did I create the rhythm your heart makes?
Could you believe when your candle starts to fade?
I want to be the One that you believe
Could take it all away, take your heart away

Isn’t My life a clear sign since I have crossed over this chasm
To fill the space between Me and you?
And I will do it all over again
Just look for Me, just wait for Me

The One you’ve been looking for
The One you’ve been waiting for
You won’t have to look anymore
