What many people don’t know is that most of their songs are about God. Acoustic and original versions after the jump.

That’s the acoustic version, of course. For those that wish to rock out, here’s the orginal version:

Lyrics:

Talkin’ to myself
Idea and images covered with dust
Memories well-worn from contant use
Stained by loneliness and lust
Heaping on my heart abuse
Somebody tell me
What’s the use?

Wet-walking in streaming rain
Hair stuck to my head like my thoughts
Regents half-felt and sin half-loved
What I have bought?
Drops coming down on my face
And on the roottops
But they don’t reach inside me
I say faith is just for fools
Somebody tell me
What’s the use?

Love cold and wet
Against my skin
Where do you end
How do you begin
I’m so lost in a world without Your breath
Needing Your fire
Fearing Your flame
Should I surrender
Waiting for the rain
Streaming rain
Come rain
Lord send Your rain, rain, rain rain rain

The music video actual starts at 35 seconds into the video.  Look at that 80s poof-ball hair!

Here’s an interesting live version.

Lyrics

He wished to right the wrongs
He sang religious songs
He kept the private he
Under a lock and key
Heat keeps rising in an age of passion
Shakes a conscience to the core
Stopgap, hand-slap, take a tongue-lashing
My poor soul can’t take any more

On the fritz
On the fritz
There he sits
On the fritz

He kept his ego there
It was a sad affair (on the fritz)
The inner circle knows
And so the story goes (on the fritz)
Airborne rumors chip away the image
But you knew the stakes were high
First they get you thinking you’re a prophet
Now they’ve got you living a lie

On the fritz
On the fritz
There he sits
On the fritz

So the crowds grew, and their praise did too
And a mailing list sent you money
So they love Jerry Lewis in France
Does that make him funny?
It’s too late for apologies when trust has been betrayed
Now victims of your double life are naming names

He kept his ego there
It was a sad affair (on the fritz)
The public’s had enough
They’ve come to call your bluff (on the fritz)
Small talk breeds where kingdoms come crashing
Rumor conquers where it wills
No one hears you, go ahead and cash in
If you don’t die to yourself
Pride kills

“Hospital” lyrics:

I think I need forgiveness
I think I need more than the rest
I think I need just not to know
I think I need a hospital

I think I need not to go there
I think I need a heart to share
I think I need just not to know
I think I need a hospital

I think I need to love you more
I think I need to lock the door
I think I need to pay the toll
I think I need a hospital

I think I need to write this song
I think I need to sing along
I think I need to quit this job
I think I need a bank to rob
I think I need another show
I think I need some place to go
I think I need to let you know
I think I need a hospital

Schäffer…

The acoustic version is much besser.

(youtube has been having serious embed issues lately…)

This Saturday comes, I believe, the only music video ever made by Circle of Dust.  Circle of Dust was a Christian industrial rock band started in New York.  Apparently they disbanded in 1998 and lead singer, Scott Albert went on to form Celldweller.

The video is Telltale Crime.  I believe it was originally on an album (or another band entirely) entitled Mindwarp (1992) and then released again on Brainchild by Circle of Dust in 1994.  I don’t know.  It all gets confusing.

The song, Telltale Crime, talks about economic disaster, one world government, govt deficits, etc.  I only recently noticed how relevant the song is to today’s climate.  It has a mixture of industrial and thrash metal seemingly combined.  Klayton‘s rough, yet melodic voice belts out the lyrics with precision that even unseasoned metal heads can understand.  Video and lyrics after the jump.

Lyrics:

Economy declines worldwide regression
Throwing within never to recover
Stock market crash broker ends the fall
From the nineteenth floor

Trade wars national debt producing
Paramount consequence
One system government
World domination omnipotent

One for all worldly wise
All for one telltale crime

Inflate contaminate the system frail
Internal deficit compiles
Truth combust propagate distrust
Driving in another nail

One for all worldly wise
All for one master mind

These will all be music that I like, of course.  Mostly stuff I grew up with.  Mostly Christian music.  Not all will be, though.  All of them will be, however, from my own stash of music that I have now or have had in the past… or definitely plan to buy soon.

So I don’t run everybody off on the first episode, I chose a more tame rock song for the first round.  Perhaps as I progress, I’ll insert some of the crazy, screaming, metal insanity.  But I’ll spare your ears this time.  Video after the jump.

This is the Benjamin Gate.  A now-disbanded Christian band from South Africa.  This song above is from their very first album Contact in 2002.
