VICTORY IN JESUS....

Death Of Satan -- By Daniel Johnston

Dropped into a satanic church one day,

My machine gun blazing, I blasted them all away

Die, die, Satan, I think your time has come

Die, die, Satan, I think you're kind of dumb

Oh, victory... in Jesus

My saviour, forever

Oh, victory... in Jesus

My saviour, forever

Die, die, Satan, I think you're gonna die

Walked right up with a machine gun in my hand,

Blasted him away, a roar in the desert sand

Die, die, Satan, I think you're gonna die

Die, die, Satan, I think you're kind of dumb

Oh, victory... in Jesus

My saviour, forever

Oh, victory... in Jesus

My saviour, forever

Die, die, Satan, I think you're gonna die

Threw a grenade right down his ugly face

Watched it explode and save the human race

Die, die, Satan, your time has finally come

Die, die, Satan, I think you're kind of dumb

Oh, victory... in Jesus

My saviour, forever

Oh, victory... in Jesus

My saviour, forever

Die, die, Satan, I think you're gonna die

"Hurray for a child

That makes it through

If there's any way

Because the answer lies in you

They're laid to rest

Before they've known just what to do

Their souls are lost

Because they could never find

What's this life for?

I see your soul, it's kind of gray

You see my heart, you look away

You see my wrist, I know your pain

I know your purpose on your plane

Don't say a last prayer

Because you could never find

What's this life for?"

-Scott Stapp of Creed

Creed is one of the most misunderstood rock bands of all time. Critics have described them as "taking the tackiest elements of grunge and then pumping it full of steroids and human growth hormones". Well what's wrong with that? What their detractors are missing is the deep existential crises revealed in the songs of Creed. The themes of endless despair, reckoning with God, and emerging triumphant through it all. It's all about the struggles and trials of life and how we are ultimately united on this difficult path. It's about singing with the voice of a superhuman monster - the only voice that can maybe reach the ears of our cruel God. If we can shoot lightning back His way then maybe He will take notice of our suffering. Chillwave music will never accomplish goals of this nature. God does not take Chillwave music seriously but He surely follows Creed for they are the musical choice of so many believers. True believers. The spiritual warriors of this world. There have been theories that bands like "Washed Out" psychically pre-empted the recent tsunami disaster. This was God's punishment. Creed has music videos depicting the survival of mass floods - they see the future and envision the durability of human existence in the face of extinction. We must fight God in order to survive. The human race must unite in order to overcome the challenges He will throw our way. Creed is the soundtrack to our survival - seriously "the end is near" has never been more true. 2012 is our next door neighbor. Are you ready? Are you ready? For what's to come.

"Society blind by color

Why hold down one to raise another

Discrimination now on both sides

Seeds of hate blossom further

The world is heading for mutiny

When all we want is unity

We may rise and fall, but in the end

We meet our fate together"

-Scott Stapp of Creed
