Extol - Reflections of a Broken Soul

The sixth track from Extol's first album Burial

Lyrics:

I fooled myself again
Trusting an illusion
Of what I thought to be
Never ceasing love
I burned myself again
Leaving scars that never heal
Becoming cynical
To this thing called love

Look into my mind
Fragments of what I desired
In this state I cry
Father please won't you show me

Show me how
To stop it now
Cleanse my mind
Help me find
Love

My soul is an open wound
Filled with salt of sadness
Was this my destiny
To be left alone
I nurse my misery
Leave no room for anyone
Still I am cynical
To this thing called love

A pale reflection
Of a broken soul
Slips through these eyes
Full of tears
Emotional blackout

I cannot trust my own feelings
My sorrow eats me up inside

Learn from mistakes
See what it takes
My feelings fail
Your love remains

@NibiruShinIori319 ..You need to read the Old Testament, the things that happen in there are so metal..you can't even put it into words!

@hexspell9 Sorry, I'm agnostic. But for the sake of proving you wrong. Please, if you can, try and explain how "Christian" Black Metal would be an oxymoron. Personally, I hardly doubt a child such as yourself could make an real argument. Only one with the jist of; "HURRDURR, Black Metal is meant to be Satanic because that somehow makes it Black Metal." Despite the fact that Lyrics don't make any genre what it is, but the musical compositions and structures used in writing the music. Jackass.

@edawg90 Holy shit, are you jsut ignoring everything I say? Because it sure as shit looks like it. I UPLOADED THIS VIDEO. Not only that, I never said anything against or for a stated religion, if it at all seemed like that, it was directed towards fundamentalists who hardly have an understanding of their own religion. You're jsut being a fucking prick. "herpderp, you have a superiority complex but I'm not going to read yo comment because I think I'm better than you still." EAT A DICK, YOU PRICK.

[edawg90]

@3dd656 you need to drop your superiority complex because all you are doing is proving that you have no concept of why someone would object to your statements. You come to a  page with a song from a Christian band on it and start running your mouth. I am a Christian metalhead. I listen to non-Christian metal as well, but you do not see me going to those pages talking out my ass about something I may object to.

I'm from the old school and was into Death, Obituary, Malevolent Creation, Slayer. Now I have chosen to follow Christ. Yeah, technical death metal! These dudes write/play some kick ass music!

[3dd656]

@edawg90 herpderp. OK, I pointed out taht christ metal is not a genre. I pointed out that Extol was a Technical Death Metal band.. I didn't say anything against their lyrics that they use or their own personal beliefs. In fact,I went so far as to point out to another user that it is not lyrics that make something a genre(As which would be the defining factor in "Christian Metal") by pointing out that by saying taht Extol is an oxymoron, his argument would consits of metal is satanic, most likely

[edawg90]

@3dd656 it isn't a fundamentalist mentality. Your comment along the lines of, and I am paraphrasing it, "so we can have our version of a genre" aimed at belittling someone else because he labelled it Christian metal. If you don't like us then that is cool, but get off your superiority kick and realize that no one was going after you in the slightest by saying they like Christian black metal. We Christian metalheads catch flak for what we like to listen to. The message we still adhere to...

[3dd656]

@edawg90 OK, first off, I get a anotice for every single comment left on this and other videos uploaded by me, I, the person taht your comment was directed towards. So leaving jsut really isn't an option. Second, you're going to have to be more clear to what you are trying to argue against and point out where you got my "anti-Christian" viewpoint from. Third, I'm not what you claim. I may come off as taht because I like the truth and don't ignore the facts that fundamentalists ignore.

[edawg90]

@3dd656 so, much animosity about what? Jealousy? Your anti-Christian viewpoint is duly noted, no go away child.

[ryanisfootdrums]

@3dd656

Nope, it is just a fact. Why the rage?

[3dd656]

@ryanisfootdrums Except, your point was just pseudo-intellectual BS. Get out of here you hipster shit.

[ryanisfootdrums]

@3dd656

...nope. My point still stands.
