Extol - Gloriana

[JR0dz]

I freaking love this song :)

[lambofgodofwariz]

Some of the poetry of St. John of the Cross is a lot like this as well, like the Spiritual Canticle...

[isaiahperrry]

The best on solidstate records, why did they have to go away? I suppose there is still Becoming the archetype, and Oh, sleeper.

[krikva05]

One of my favorite songs!

[xstohl]

If you liked this band check out: Absurd2, Benea Reach, Lengsel, Ganglion, and Aperture. Some of the same members in each band. The first two being the heaviest and best.

[arrestedshrimp]

these guys remind me of a thrashier opeth, anyone else think that?

[Lord7of7the7Night]

yeah great christian band

[MaZBlade137]

still a good song, even if it is old relatively old anyway

[Mordan666]

best song on that album.

[TheRavenAzarath]

Nothing wrong with Christian metal.

[daowei421]

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LIKE IT

[sh9683]

the song is talking about God right?

[napoliondynamite]

@sh9683 probably not. I mean i love god, but i don't want to make out with him(?)

[DeathRattleShakes]

@napoliondynamite Haha! I can totally understand that. The thing is, aren't kissing and sex etc... physical expressions of closeness and communion with another? In the same way, they are used to convey a closeness and communion and a "being one with" in the Spirit! Like for instance Christ's people are called his bride and He is the bridegroom. Its a little weird (and gay if you're a dude) IF you look at it from the purely physical, but beautiful if it represents the Spiritual!

[Filipeeno]

@DeathRattleShakes In other words, we don't have a romantic relationship with God. Figuratively, the song works, but not literally. I do think that is what your point is. You are also right with the bride/bridegroom example. Gloriana sounds like a good representation of this.

[tKrave]

@DeathRattleShakes Nicely siad - The closeness of a relationship with God through the Holy Spirit by the acceptance of salvation in Jesus Christ is difficult to express -and wiil conjure words that often are used to express a closeness in a romantic relationship.

[Rawk4Life]

But still, it should not be weird to someone who is gay unless they are completely close-minded to the concept.

[SpayceMunkye6464]

@DeathRattleShakes ive been a christian for almost 5 years and have never heard of christians being refered to as christs bride.........

[JR0dz]

@SpayceMunkye6464 in the bible we are called the bride of christ

[cs3818919]

@SpayceMunkye6464 how often do you read your bible? there is a lot in the bible that gives that picture. hosea for instance.

[RainWiLLIDie]

@DeathRattleShakes

Yeah, I remember taking a course on Chaucer and the femininity of the christian convert is something that is so puzzling to our time period. It's quite hilarious if you ask me.

[UnknownFact]

good song indeed
