A Cut Too Deep (Final Edit) by Jeremiah Oard published on 2018-03-16T17:51:19Z Matthew 5:29-30 "If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better to lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to go into hell." The truth behind these radical words lies behind the fact no one can achieve this perfection. The problem is the hardness of our hearts that ultimately lead to our spiritual demise. But the hope is this: "For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous." Romans 5:19 As far as the technical side of this track goes, it features about 30+ time signature changes. The main groove is an alternation of 4/4, then 7/8, then 4/4, then 9/8. The verses are mostly in 5/4. A Cut Too Deep: Living corpse, I'm surprised I feel anything My brain is a dungeon, conditioned for suffering Overwhelming condemnation is the verdict from everyone Ever-present imperfection; I wish I wasn't anyone I lived in fear for the whole of my life Sick of my reflection; you're begging me for my knife If I wished you were dead, that means I would forfeit If you were alive, I'd still have none of it You have to suffer You have to pay You must be punished And bleed for me I know I'm a freak that contradicts nature Self-preservation, a self-inflicted feature Justified, vilified: a sanguine harmony Agony's reality, what I perceive is real Strange relief that pain can be a focus Still a stranger peace that punishment is comfort But the deepest wound I've sustained through the years Can't be deep enough to deliver my fears You have to suffer You have to pay You must be punished And bleed for me Oh God, I've gone too far Oh God, I'm dying Please don't let me go Amazing grace that's deeper than these wounds When I was digging deeper, Your mercy's deeper too "Considered Righteous" from the Judge who sits upon the throne Through faith in Jesus Christ whose death my sins atoned The Lamb did suffer The Lamb did pay The Lamb was punished And bled for me The Lamb is worthy The Lamb was slain The Lamb is risen And reigns forevermore Genre Metal
