Holy

Death Astonished Album: Orthodox Track 4

Listen


Notes

Holy is a straight up, no frills, praise hymn in the byzantine tradition, but as a bombastic doom metal piece. It's meant to be simple and accessible while hitting hard and heavy.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD
From the rising of the sun
To its setting in the west
The LORD shall forever be praised

[Verse 1]
Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD
Who was, and is, and is to come
The whole earth is filled with His glory
The heavens are filled with His Glory

[Interlude]
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD
Who brought his people out of exile
Who sits upon the heavenly throne
Who reigns forever in heaven and earth

[Interlude]
[Instrumental: short]

[Verse 3]
Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD
God the almighty father
Jesus Christ the risen son
The Holy Spirit who dwells within us

[Outro 1: acoustic]
Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD
Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD
Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD
Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD

[Outro 2: heavy]
Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD
Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD
Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD
Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD
