From The Watery Grave

[Inspired by Jonah's prayer from the belly of the whale.]

The Word of God, it comes to us

Asking us to go and preach

Instead we tend to run away

Escape becomes the only reach

Some give excuses,

Others just laugh

And Jonah took a ship and sailed away.

Here comes a storm sent by the Lord

Turning everything around you to pieces .

The ship rolled about, so did Jonah's dreams

The next thing he knows, he's in the belly of a huge fish

Then began his journey to his death

Down, deep down in a watery grave.

Surrounded by darkness

Covered with filth

He's not sure if he's dead or alive

But then he gathers

Just enough strength

To pray the prayer, his only prayer .

"My life was slipping away

All doors were shut forever

But one door was open-

The door to heaven

I remembered you, My Lord

And you heard my cry

You're a loving God and

Salvation belongs to only You! "

Prince Of Peace

[Vocals/Rythm Guitar: Vithun N.R.K, Drums: Thomas Mathews, Lead Guitar: Saljrang Sangma, Keys/Lyricist: Paritosh Hebbal.]

A shattered hope

All my dreams are crashing down

Right here, in front of me.

No place to hide

I have no place to go

All my bones are growing weak

Time's running out

My desires burnt

By the fallen angel.

A shadow of doubt

From an ocean of fear

Emerges out to swallow me.

So then I join my hands

I bend my knees in prayer.

Tears start flowing down my eyes

Then two nail-scarred hands

Start saving every teardrop

I lift my eyes to see

The Prince Of Peace right next to me.

My heart is cold

Fear and trembling within

Confused and insecure .

I'm in a cave

Surrounded by Lions and beasts

Death is only a minute away.

So then I join my hands

I bend my knees in prayer.

Tears start flowing down my eyes

Then two nail-scarred hands

Start saving every teardrop

I lift my eyes to see

The Prince Of Peace right next to me.

Brazen Altar

Who We Are.

Hello, buddy :) Firstly thanks for visiting this blog. Really appreciate your concern. Just to tell you more bout us- we are called Brazen Altar. We are basically a group which plays music of the style melodic/symphonic/alternative/progressive/power- metal. Our main genre of music is metal. Started in the month of August 2009, we were a band which went through a lot of struggle, turbulences. But still, since we hoped in the Lord, He fulfilled His promise in us,

...but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:31)

We ran but didn't grow weary, .. we walked and never grew faint. So great was our God that He kept us going. Right now, our band has come up with two original compositions, 'Prince Of Peace' and 'From The Watery Grave'. That's enough information for now. :) Will keep updating and uploading our videos and pics and performances. Do encourage us by sharing your faith with us. :)

God Bless,

Signing out till later,

Brazen Altar.
