There was a time when I would speak like I was there
Under the light of absolution and repair
But here in the fallout I can see where I went wrong
Playing Judas in the dark under my song
Where is the peace that I once heard would follow grace?
All of the holes within my heart go separate ways
Through black stained glass
All my purities pale under the veil
of black stained glass
Black stained glass
There was a fire when I was young that took my life
And now I am left just praying death would take me twice
Where is the peace that I once heard would follow grace?
All of the holes within my heart go separate ways
Through black stained glass
All my purities pale under the veil
of black stained glass
Black stained glass
And I won't justify this dark and light in one
For all deception said and done
Please don't cast me out for learning to be numb
And for the wreck that I've become
Through black stained glass
All my purities pale under the veil
of black stained glass
Black stained glass

Wake up, a new Demon Hunter song just dropped

Shut up

Woke up five days ago

[@jarekhornbeck]

@@AndrewDembouski What a naive thing to say. Ya know, I hope you don’t ever have to relate to this song. Things aren’t always as they seem. Just because the song doesn’t sound heavy, doesn’t mean its lyrics aren’t. God bless you, I pray Jesus works on your heart man. We could all use Him.

[@princessolmeca2933]

I love when Demon Hunter does these kinds of songs. It's always a friendly reminder their gentler side is just as wonderful and engaging as the side that's screaming at you.

[@christopherdrake8406]

Trying to let their kids sleep. Great song!

[@neonwhitea.1548]

The lyrics aren’t very friendly lol

[@Shadowarfare117]

It really is. I like the way you said thay.

[@SomeLoser0]

Y'all are my favorite band. Keep the faith and stay strong, brothers! 🖤

[@handtogocam]

Everything this guy said!

[@ImFunnyNiceToMeetYa]

"please don't cast me out for learning to be numb And for the wreck I've become" This hit so hard.. I love you guys thank you for this beautiful song.

[@robertgriffith3670]

Wow, those opening lines… I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that those lines struck right to the core of my soul. What a beautiful way to describe the fears and doubts we have as Christians. Demon Hunter truly is a gift from God. Your music and message is beautiful, and you are part of what lead me to converting to Christianity. Thank you for all that you do.

[@user-ju2mx2vf8o]

first metal band I herd as a troubled teen. they helped lead me to Christianity. fire to my soul being a big one.

[@danielwarren1507]

Wow......Just Wow.......One of the heaviest songs I've ever heard without it actually being a "heavy" song. No one writes songs like DH. Amazing!

[@googIesux]

Hah, bro uses the word heavy like I do, or maybe its what it used to commonly mean... Agreed \m/

[@MrDrake-ps2yi]

Heavy in the same way Opeth's Damnation is.

[@warriormonk233]

This is the kind of song that plays when someone is standing in the pouring rain in a movie.

[@CeejayFilmsFanspinePictures]

Back in my day, we used to listen to music like this with a "rain sounds" tab open

[@rubenc4696]

i use 2 mp3 player in my phone just for that :D

[@barttheraven]

You all have helped me through my darkest moments. Thanks so much.

[@daffers2345]

Sometimes I think I am the only Christian who struggles like this. It is so good to know I'm not alone. It's good to know that it's OK to cry out with prayers like this. Thank you for this.

[@russellcharlton7814]

You are not alone.

[@TheBarricade022]

No matter the distance that separates one from the other, you are not alone my brother.

[@TheBarricade022]

God bless you today and always.

[@Shadowarfare117]

Most certainly not. This world is not our home. It would be weird if we didn't feel like this at some point down here.

[@AlloyStudio]

“Where is the peace I once heard would follow grace?” Thank you for always working to redefine what it means to be a metal band, and what it means to be a Christian band.

[@Windmills618]

amen.

[@Alowang]

Not exactly the sound I was expecting but the lyrics are distinctly Hunter, beautiful

[@Richtastic1983]

Ive been a fan from the first moment I bought their first album in 2002. As a christian who struggles at times with doubt, with my own sin, walking that line, that battle between light and dark that takes place in myself in and the world, this band has meant so much to my walk. Thank you. As always just when I fell in a rut, Demon Hunter releases a track that perfectly captures what I'm feeling. God knows exactly how to get my attention when I'm being stubborn.

[@TacoTheNasty]

I've been listening to yalls music for most of my life, I've recently been saved and baptised, yalls music means so much more to me now. Thank you for what yall do.

[@daffers2345]

Welcome to the family, bro! (Or sis.) We will meet in heaven someday. :)

[@FeralRC]

I was at a music festival in 2002 and bought an album based off a recommendation by Solid State Records vendor. It was a newcomer to the label and I have not heard anything about this band yet. I was immediately entranced by it and the members who used stage names at the time. 22 years later and not one song ever gets skipped. I can't say that for any other band I listen to besides Norma Jean. Associates of mine from all walks life will come across Demon Hunter and then ask me if I ever heard of them. Well yes, I have. Credit where credit is due. Talented, steadfast and devoted. So few bands have ever gone so far for so long and so well, especially in this genre.

[@a.l.3832]

Thank you! After repentance comes revelatory revival. Start with me, Jesus!

[@colinmckendrick9803]

this is pure gold, black staind gold. Ryan clark will forever be the goat lyrically and vocally in the genre.

[@asscher10]

Howard Jones.

[@Johngamepleis]

Heard this one earlier because the "topic version" gets posted before but all I can say is that it doesn't matter I'm here again,you guys got me through some very disturbing moments of my life, I'll always be here ready to enjoy music from you guys, I'm not exactly religious because I struggle a lot to follow the path but you guys music always remind me of the way I should follow, I just wish I could do effectively but sin is always around me,but anyways sorry for the rambling you guys are the greatest band I've ever seen, I'm always paying attention for new releases from you guys lol

[@pabloalexandre4802]

se os seus pecados estão sempre diante de você, então deixe cada vez mais o ESPÍRITO DE DEUS ENTRAR EM VOCÊ, e apesar do que está diante de você, mantenha seus olhos em Deus e sua palavra é seus olhos.🇧🇷GOD BLESS

[@Johngamepleis]

Muito obrigado pelo seu conselho amigo, Deus te abençoe ❤️​@@pabloalexandre4802

[@bronyanproud]

No amount of sin is too much for the blood of Jesus Christ to wash away, you only need to repent and put your life in his hands. I pray for you that you would be saved in his name

[@dechristianboy]

Insane how this is exactly what I've been feeling 🥲 the comfort of not being alone is very profound, thank you

[@jediofmetalii1623]

"Please don't cast me out for learning to be numb or for the wreck that I've become" The emotional weight in those lines rivals Deteriorate. It's like a knife in the gut.

[@delbertdoerksen2226]

This song describes the Christian walk and as we get older, we realize how messed up we really are and we long for the day Jesus comes back taking us home.

[@daffers2345]

Amen!

[@Tute710]

Demon Hunter, you make my month every time you release a song, I'll follow you guys to the end, I'm infected with you 💪🏼🔥

[@Windmills618]

Pull the plug already

[@LRM5195]

Love the mix to this. There’s subtle changes in the effects being used that make it interesting as well as things going on in the background. It’s nice you guys are putting the leftover songs out! Can’t wait for the next album / tour cycle!

[@demonhuntermusic]

Written/recorded around the same time > leftovers. (In fact, this one was made before EXILE.)

[@LRM5195]

@@demonhuntermusic My bad!

[@SHaines1030]

I've been struggling so hard lately with things in life. I cried when I heard this song for the first time yesterday evening because I feel like someone gets me and has been having the dance thoughts I've been having. Thank you guys for your music and being human. I love y'all. God Bless You!!!!

[@lexmetalisassessoriaeagenc6219]

Really love the somber and mellow way on this song. Can I dream with this tune in a SoDaR 2 in the future? haha

[@lexmetalisassessoriaeagenc6219]

Amazing as always... I know that some fans think that if doesnt have heavy riffs and screams isnt a good song, but I really love this mellow side of DH and the path the the band thrilled with Exile. God bless you guys and please... #ComeToBrazil !

classic

[@orpheus6261]

This gives off some serious unplugged grunge vibes, and those LYRICS 👌. Y'all can't miss!

You guys have been my favorite band since I was 13 and I’m so grateful for you.

[@somerandomvideos7694]

Click "Play" and then "Loop" and it's been more than an hour straight that I've been listening to this ... Plus it's raining outside ❤

[@mace4040]

My absolute favorite band. Wasn’t so sure of this one on first listen but it has definitely grown on me. Thank you for making music that brings me closer to Christ

[@franciscovillarreal6672]

This speaks to my heart. Thanks Demon Hunter. You are my boys.

[@MyCupOfTea101]

You guys are favorite band. Your lyrics helped me in high school. The novel I am writing, I have used your music for inspiration and for background music.

[@bagicvh]

I really love Ryan's voice. It's so deep and smooth at the same time.

[@NeoRaze99]

Aarrgghh MY HEART! My black, broken heart that has always tried to follow Christ and failed over and over again. This is why Demon Hunter is my favorite band. No other band keeps me grounded and focused on following God, reminding me of who I am and my purpose, the way Demon Hunter does.

[@jstephen591]

Instant tears. Demon Hunter's music has carried me through so many terrible times in my life, and so many joyful points. Thank you for sharing your art and passion with the world, and with me.

[@notyourstereotype9911]

I strongly agree and have experienced the same things!

[@TheNarina01]

Very emotional. Really superb!

[@truehulk62]

Lyrics are phenomenal, would love a non-acoustic version. Not necessarily screaming, just harder

[@AndrewDembouski]

Was going to comment the same thing!

[@SyndicateRC]

And here I am, 20 years later, still listening to this band and still they keep on writing songs that speak to me.

[@Sk83rNinja]

It is seems crazy they are still going twenty years now. I hope for many years to come

[@cindblank]

The lyrics and melody are haunting and absolutely lovely. Ryan's clean vox are always on point and they are soothing to the soul. 10/10 as usual.

[@ghostrecon3834]

The second verse especially is particularly haunting.

[@boiaboa]

Went on a car ride today. Hey, Demon hunter released a new song!! And, wow, I guess it has been 0 days since ive shed some tears listening to a song. Thanks guys, I needed it so bad.

[@MrDrake-ps2yi]

Your lyrics have always spoken to me, but this is unreal. This is the type of song you sing alone in a dark empty church, just you and God.

[@daffers2345]

I feel like I have to go meditate on the hills with this one ringing through my head ... I need Christ so bad sometimes I can almost taste it physically. Something about this song ... I don't know. It really hits inside.

[@tomatopie]

This song has some powerful and moving lyrics that show just how talented and devoted this band is to making incredible music. Keep up the amazing work guys!!!

[@mirvuuson]

The immediate silence of the music at 2:24 is so chilling! Honestly, this song has the same remorseful feel as The Tide Began To Rise. "If this is all the love my spirit can give, there is not a reason more to live" "and I won't justify this dark and light in one... Please don't cast me out for learning to be numb..." There's so much power in the emotion of the song without any volume. It's so remorseful and yet, peaceful. I like it alot

[@nv16123]

That thumbnail lyric about "peace I once heard would follow grace" hits hard guys 🥺😌

[@supersendojarren]

I'll probably never know if people feel like I do, but when I hear songs with lyrics like these it just makes me wonder if there's someone out there I'll get to talk to one day.

[@aggierev]

This song just broke my heart and made me want to give you a hug.

[@isabelaalves7894]

I from Brazil, I love Demon Hunter!! ❤🎧

[@theashenone9703]

I was ultra sad today. DH knows even how I feel and when.

[@malphas_777]

Cannot get enough of this style of Demon Hunter! Have been listening to "songs of death and resurrection" all week and it has really been helping me cope with everything, this is getting added to my play list right now! Big thanks to Demon Hunter for always putting out amazing albums and songs!

[@thegreatmarondraith8741]

I needed this. I really did. Especially struggling so hard with life, and my faith. Thank you 💜

[@smbmxdirt3427]

Wasn't expecting this when I clicked on the notification. Life is hectic, lets slow it down a bit like this song.

[@ethanavila3919]

Listened to this song when I got the Spotify notification yesterday, blown away, we need more ballads like this Ryan ❤‍🔥

[@fishingwithfelipe3211]

Wow this song it’s just amazing..

[@triedlikesilver]

What a great song. Why do so many from our generation resonate with songs like this? What happened to us?

[@SonyaBarber-oz5ty]

It comes in the silence and stillness, slowly, but it does come...

[@TheBarricade022]

I'm living in Argentina and i love Demon Hunter too. Thank you for this beautiful melody. I hope God bless you all

[@gabryslazmishnof3948]

I feel like there's lore behind this song (I love the song you guys are the best)

[@Nevermore1816]

I'm not a Christian anymore. But I like how DH shows That no one is happy all the time. That even the "good guys" have dark days. That rainbows and shadows cross each side of the fence.

[@dillardc81]

The apostles were skinned alive, beheaded, crucified upside down for refusing to deny Jesus. All of them met violent deaths. Paul prayed to be free of his mortal flesh. Jesus never said it would be sunshine and rainbows in this life. "Pick up your cross and follow me". I'd encourage you to reconsider all of that. He takes what was meant for evil and turns it around for good.

[@frostthenord3942]

Been listening to you guys since 2016. Every song i have listened to has been absolutely amazing. In the process, i found the faith i once lost. So, thank you.

[@CinnamonYar]

This song is very emotional

[@joshgatesmusic78]

Another amazing DH song! Ryan's vocals are beautiful, and the haunting feel of this song is extraordinary! I've been a loyal listener for 20 years, and you guys never disappoint!

[@coolnegative]

We only see now as through a mirror darkly

[@ryanmordick9736]

Wow, this took me straight back to the self titled album and summer of darkness. Ryan's voice can be so beautifully haunting and this song really lets it shine. As a 22 year listener, this was awesome to hear.

[@peterm6737]

As soon as I got the notification I had to listen. You guys never disappoint! I was at your April concert in Denver last year, easily the highlight of that year for me! Take care and God bless 😊🤘

[@notyourstereotype9911]

Great job D.H. with this new song! This song relaxes me, it's great to listen to while I make from scratch a double batch of honey cornbread muffins and mini loaves for my family to eat for breakfast this coming week, and while cleaning the kitchen afterwards, I really love this song!

[@nejuhyuga]

I'm not a very religious person, but I have to say, I feel like I am truly blessed every time a new Demon Hunter song/album drops. Especially the slower songs like this that are here for when times grow darker.

[@hoytdutton4926]

Dang it, Ryan! Why do you have to punch me in the feels….again?

[@bw.rodrigo]

This song gave me chills 🔥❤️

[@IslesGirl3]

Truly a song that has me shocked. Such a soft melody but hard lyrics. Now I’m here sitting in my car wiping tears away. They can do it all. DH has hit us with just another masterpiece of a song that honestly just makes you think about yourself about life and who you’ve become. Thank you for this touching piece

[@1122bigblue]

What beautiful incorporation of emotions. Thank you again, for making yet more valuable, powerful music. Like to many, this one hit very hard haha

A GREAT BALLAD BY DEMON HUNTER WHICH GROWS ON YOU.THANK GOD FOR YOU GUYS.KEEP UP THE GOOD AND INSPIRING SONGS FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

[@SPACKLEBOX]

I normally prefer the heavier tracks from DH, but this one is one of the hardest hitting I've ever experienced. Definitely a keeper. Thank you, Demon Hunter

[@phaedine496]

"Where is the peace that I once heard would follow grace?" this got me. - I was thinking about this. We can not ask for things we dont believe in. So if you ask yourself. "Where this peace is, that follows grace", you know there is this peace. Somewhere out there. And it is HOPE that keeps you asking for it. The peace is in Christ, and Christ alone. May GOD give us all HIS peace.

[@canucktheory3271]

Immediately I felt this song harkened back to their Songs of Death and Resurrection album and I was instantly gripped and drawn in. Well done.

[@samanthatijerina4243]

This speaks to every fiber of how I feel as a Christian who is keenly aware of my brokenness. Thank you Demon Hunter❤️
