-- Lyrics --
[Verse 1]
Joy to the world, the Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing
[Verse 2]
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
[Middle Part - written by Irene Chrysostomidi]
Christmas time is here
Christmas time is here
Come along and raise your voice
Keep your spirit bright
Keep your spirit bright
And let us all rejoice.
On this night
Filled with light
Feel the magic in the air
Open up
Free your heart
There is love to share
He comes to make his blessings flow
Let every heart prepare him room
No sins and sorrows grow
He rules the world with truth and grace
Fields and floods, rock, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding
Repeat the sounding joy
[Narration]
No more let sins and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found, far as the curse is found
Far as, far as the curse is found
[Verse 3]
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

[@scottydawg1234567]

It is my opinion that nothing embodies the joy of Jesus's birth than symphonic metal (ironically enough!). I'd imagine this is what the host of angels that announced His birth to the world sounded like. I know some Christians would disagree with me, but metal in general is probably one of the best genres -if not THE best- to express how wonderful and powerful He is. After all, what could be more metal than God and His angels striking down and smiting Satan and his demons with holy might?

[@garysuarez9614]

Actually, I agree with you 100%. There is nothing more strong and beautiful and uplifting than this.

[@stultuses]

I'm no metal head but I love this The passion sung for the King of the Universe is soul shattering "He comes to make His presence known as far as the curse is found"... Within man's soul can be the most driest baron place, void of life, void of meaning, completely run over by the curse, but when His presence finds you, the curse holds no more power over you and you are free indeed - even free to sing to the King in what-ever style of music you find expresses your gratitude to Him

[@dksl9899]

Now THIS is a Christmas song I can listen to all year around. You need a powerfully rapturous rendition to underscore the point of the song: Christmas was closer to a D-Day invasion than a Silent Night. An invasion marked by angels, shepherds and a helpless baby, but an invasion no less of blinding light into seething darkness. "No more let sins and sorrows grow / Nor thorns infest the ground He comes to make His blessings flow / Far as the curse is found" COVID may feel like a worldwide curse, but it's just a manifest symptom of everything broken in this world. Christmas reminds us that this must, can and will be put right one day. What is the promise of Christmas? It is like that moment in a classic hostage thriller when the hero peeks out, winks at the hostages, and gives an ironic salute to the devilish villain before vanishing again. Everything evil, vile and selfish is put on notice. "You may think you're winning, but I've got your number, and I'm coming for you." And that hope has always been free to share in.

I never realized that I NEEDED Christmas carols rendered in symphonic metal ... until now. This has put me more into the Christmas Spirit than all the "traditional" music being over-played on the radio right now. :) Well done indeed! :) AND, it premiered her on my birthday! Double cool! :D
