Demon Hunter - "Blood In The Tears"

[@Eleolius]

@ Dustiloma , in the case of this song, the "blood in the tears" isn't referencing suffering on the part of the enemies. It's not vengeance, it's that his "enemies" (non christians) are suffering, it's a prayer that they'll see the imperfection in the world and be lead to the suffering of Christ, and his blood that was shed on the cross. ("Leaving a trail to where you stood...") "Knowing the pain the way the should refers to the comiseration with Christ's suffering we can all relate to.

​@@charissad4234This song should be played in the background while Jesus makes a spectacle out demons and principalities in the underworld. Like a movie about that.

[@Pyke_The_Fool]

I love every single Demon Hunter song/album. They're just the best band EVER.

[@williamterra574]

The first time I heard this song was in 2013. I'm not a fan of the band, but I admit I like some songs, and this is one of them. I've been suffering with depression for 8 years, I've thought about ending everything several times, but whenever I have this kind of thought, I come to listen to this music and everything passes. All the angst, anxiety, all the will to end what suffocates me just disappears, and somehow I tell myself that although it is a bad phase that lasts almost a decade, I will get over it.

Hey man, there’s always a greater purpose for you out there. Believe. While I am catholic raised and DH is a christian band. DH promotes the faith in God, the Omnipresent, the Greater being, whatever it may be. Believe brother. Have faith. I lost to what I seemed “the love of my life”, and didn’t know what to do with myself. DH saved me. You got this big dawg

[@jonathanabraham5858]

In the name of Jesus Christ all demons and wicked spirits be cast out of you. Amen. Just remember it was God that did this for you.

[@commandershepherd8987]

I've just lost my grandma (January 20th, 2019), and then my dad (February 17, 2019) in the span of only a single month. My heart bleeds and my soul is crying out in pain. So to hear these lyrics is truly everything I'm feeling right now. "Don't come on quietly When you draw near Don't go on lightly Don't leave me here I wither quickly In winter's cold But carry onward Like I was told and I wait for a sign..."

[@mad4sbwitu]

Listen to always by killswitch engage

[@loganfoss4098]

I just recently lost my brother my dad and my dog in the span of two weeks

[@alecbaker13]

Sorry for your loss mate you’ll see them again

[@blade402860]

Lost my mom this to cancer this year to and my father to cancer 3 years ago. So sorry man, I try to keep going myself.

[@spiggly_digg]

When I first heard this, I thought it was an incredibly emotional sounding song with disturbing lyrics, but now I realize what it really means. Still, it would be cool to hear a song like that

[@zichithefox4781]

Like a solemn hatred or mournful vengeance. I know what you mean, I thought the same when I first heard this song.

[@thegreatdeaf6251]

I can’t believe I forgot this song, popped back up in my recommendations and hell yea I got this in my collection. Love this song

[@petetoddtodd2502]

it's OK whatever you believe but DH is tha' Real Deal talkin' bout life, my wife just died and this music helps me Big-time

[@ishmuriyo6702]

petetodd Todd I'm sorry to hear that brother!

[@will7953]

“Love never gives up” -1 Corinthians 13

[@jrgarza1964]

Carry on brother.. stay strong in the lord.. God has something for you.. Jesus will get you through this. Keep praying God bless.

[@SCChrissy1]

God bless you a lot! 🙏

[@rh7653]

Im so sorry to read that. Shes more alive than ever before though. Theres a cloud of witnesses above theres a body of Christ theres a Holy Spirit that makes us one in spirit. Christ is the the head our all in all. Under the throne we'll ask how long till we sing a new song. God may have a new life for you and a new wife. If I died I would want my wife to find a great new Husband. God Bless brother. Dont give up. Gods will be done. I pray God will provide you a new woman of God to comfort you and help you move forward. Take time to Mourn but when your ready, you rise up out of those ashes.

[@Zytharros]

One of my favourite songs ever.

[@TheReaver1999]

Just a beautiful song can't get enough of demon hunter keep rocking for the Lord

[@johnmarsman7843]

Check out the redone version!

[@michaelcarlile94]

This is another way to put the talents God has given them to good works.

[@leoburnett9049]

Such a beautiful song

[@SonOfTheMartyr]

Sounds like a mix between a ballad from the self-titled album and a more recent ballad. I love it!

[@MrTomoshibi]

They do this kind of tempo the best, just slow and deliberately thought provoking with an oddly calming effect.

[@roadkillanonymous4807]

What an unbelievably powerful and meaningful song. I don’t think I got it when I was a teenager, and maybe I still don’t. But looking for God, for a sign, and finding it in the tears of my enemies made in His image and for whom Christ’s blood was shed is a powerful thing. An arresting thing even. Will I love my enemies?

[@xSlim]

Fantastic band. So glad my friend told me about these guys :D

[@maximilianwentz3668]

Demon Hunter is such a badass band and a huge influence on my own music :)

[@LichsCrypt]

[@chiodelcid6184]

Completamente enamorada de esta banda 😭😭😭😭 Completely in love with this band

[@LunarSolitude]

I don't think I've ever encountered a ballad with seemingly anger or revenge-driven lyrics before. Awesome!

[@daisha5777]

I LOVE GOD AND THIS SONG SO AMAZING

[@nadrixam]

Demon Hunter's music always reminds me of Supernatural, lol. I like this smooth, more broody style than their screaming.

[@vidseo3149]

Your will be done Father God 🙌

[@huniepanda7759]

love Demon Hunter, they rock!!!

[@petetoddtodd2502]

Praise God if this music blessed athiests, don't ever define yourself by yor label

[@LeopoldoGamer]

Just heard an entire ghost album and now I'm here, very good song

[@Princ3ssDae]

As Jared Kennedy said, I find this song in particular very eerily peaceful. It's strange, and yet a pleasant feeling at the same time. One of a kind song, and an amazing and talented band.

[@gloomsouls]

Glorifying God in a way that those who don't even believe can feel the power of.

[@josemolina6657]

Is the rapture when The Great God comes for his people beautiful song thank you amen

[@x8LisaMarie8x]

It's been a long time since I heard a good song like that

[@LichsCrypt]

Rock on!

[@LichsCrypt]

Yes lord!

[@ColonelCluster]

Its awesome to these Bands come out and just bring others to them!

[@Jaws1015]

DH have used a synth in all there records. it just seems to stand out a bit more on this record. I love this whole album. I think time wise, this was a very very short album. But the message across the board is just incredible.

[@dslayer1169]

He cried tears of blood before the day that he died on the cross.

[@jmpapucci]

Love your enemies.pray for them.to sit in the prescense and eat with them.that can only be done through the christ within you...if they are thirsty.give them a drink,have mercy,bless instead of curse,,,,

[@zombiebeast95]

I really hope they're on tour or will be on one soon.

[@LEGOSuperDKong]

+zombiebeast95 Me too. Seeing them live would be nothing short of amazing.

[@emogirl7778]

+LEGOSuperDKong I saw them live sunday theyre amazing

[@zombiebeast95]

Lucky D: I'm still waiting for the day I get to see them.

[@derricka.mccormick6548]

+zombiebeast95 i know the feeling.....😫

[@TheWalter38]

If I could describe this song in one word I would describe it as follows: Peaceful

[@jeffwald8892]

This song inspires in me prayer for all of God's children. Our Almighty Father, I pray that when you come, as I know You will, I ask that You don't come quietly like a thief in the night. Though I understand that to some that may be the way it is perceived, I ask, that in the eyes of your children, the ground will shake, the horns will blow deafeningly, the lights will shine blindingly. Lord, I ask You don't come quietly but shake every sense of our being. Until that unforeseen time, of Your choice, our bodies, weak without You, shall carry on, allowing those who don't know to become familiar by Your works. And when our time comes, shall it be before Your coming or during, I pray that You take us away from this darkness and bring us out of misery. I also ask that You forgive me for paraphrasing the lyrics of this song, but some words are simply meant to be shared to lead the blind. May these words, that are not uniquely my own be those words. and may Your Word flow through them. In Jesus' Name I Pray. Amen. Disclaimer: In this prayer, I acknowledge the authors. I do NOT claim the lyrics as my own nor do I claim the meaning of the prayer or the lyrics to be the same in it's entirety. I am simply speaking of what I see with in it. If anyone gets credit of this post, May it be God first, and the creators of this song second.

[@ligewilliams3879]

Well spoken. I truly fed on your prayer. Be God be with you on your endless journey to spread the word to all His children.

[@MrGconstantine1972]

this is the most powerful discription of what CHRIST experienced while dying on the cross. it really makes me want to cry. THANK YOU JESUS for your sacrifice & that you did it for me. WHO SAYS CHRISTIANS CAN'T ROCK?!!

[@talondiwisch5206]

Yeah. Who actually said that? No one did...

[@wendelalvesmuniz5776]

[@dorkyshark2911]

[@JudahRiggins]

[@samwisethegr8]

who would dislike this epicness?

[@josemolina6657]

GOD IS JUST PARAMOUNT MOST HIGHEST OF ALL AMEN

[@ohmuhgurth]

@LWRCftw I was thinking that it was about vengeance since the pain is brought upon his enemies...but your theory is a viable one as well.

[@MirandaW006]

First heard this song 2 days before a fire totalled a truck that was given to me when i was three, just before my godfather died 15 years ago. since then, my dad and i had put 30,000 dollars into customizing it. RIP the toy, 9/30/2012

[@pwfordever]

@BanditaLa You can purchase it and support the band like all fans should

[@reaperOfShadows123]

Demon Hunter rocks harder than any other heavy metal band i know! they're like christian deathmetal! yay ^.^ love them!

[@talondiwisch5206]

This should be in a movie.

[@TheEntertainer29]

@Boxer4Christ lol yeah! David loved to talk about his enemies! Lol

[@Euzinhoshow]

Better moment is 00:00 to 4:53

[@KaTiErox4ever1]

@Yakiller69 Wellllll no and yes at the same time. i mean by preparing yourself/spirit with the word you can make your spirit man stronger. although there are instances where you can be attacked by the demon itself if you submit yourself to certain things.

[@TheRiaden]

dude it rocks that these guys are gospel rock epic song by a epic band

[@115alphonzonite]

dude, too deep bro. what do you think about -Driving Nails?

[@alecbaker13]

Such a good song

[@spooks419]

2 fave song

[@superwolfgirl27]

Tyler huffacker, This song is about how an enemy is feeling your pain that they caused you. Blood in the tears(crying to hard)of all my enemies(the people that pick with you)leading a trail to where you stood( as if they are in your shoes, they are standing where you stood.

[@PAULJohnson-w4x]

Awsome song

[@thatmetalgirl607]

I'm an atheist but i love this song.

[@Silverfoxxee]

Pretty girl. :)

[@UnslainDragon]

[@princessolmeca2933]

Yup, atheist here and I love bands like Demon Hunter, Red, Fit for a King, Soul Embraced, As I Lay Dying, Mortification, and Living Sacrifice. :D

[@Immolator772]

I see you seeking attention, i'm christian and i listen to songs that talk shit to God, nothing special. You like the song, good but do you really have to say something like that?

[@talondiwisch5206]

👏🏻

[@jeffaffa3412]

This song had a strong christian message

[@andersonliquer2690]

The best

[@JoseMolina-df1pf]

I wish with all my heart that those who are listening this song can hear what God's children hear. a calling please open your eyes now look close this lirycs are God's word.

[@masmeyer]

only satan would dislike this really epic song

[@atsuma124]

good to see no one hates this song XD

[@evegoddess19]

Demon hunter rocks

[@ZbKiT]

I would go with: Dark peace, or melancholic peace, at least that's how i feel when i listen to the song

[@ShinyApocalypse]

second favorite song on the album first being collapsing. but still amazing lyrics.

[@PhoenixUSSR]

Sounds like "Driving Nails" but then separates into it's own song. Good stuff.

[@talondiwisch5206]

Used to think this was called Blood in the Tea when I first heard it. I sung it like that as well.

[@ezrajames8238]

This song goes hard

[@vanity_pill]

I think this is my favorite song by demon hunter.

[@GENERICASEVILLA]

3.12 You can hear the perfect use for a Vocoder.

[@DaddyLongLegs44]

Sounds cool.

[@mindoor608]

[@raymoirai]

0:01

[@baci87]

Yea , for some reason i think it sounds like "the gauntlet" from the self-titled album. maybe its the guitars

[@random_one2622]

I don't care about religion. I just love their music

[@MsOriginal2]

someone could tell me the meaning of this song? thanks !!

[@aaronleschke8988]

Marina This is a prayer that Ryan has. He's crying out to God because he doesn't feel strong enough to do the work that God has for him, and he wants God to show his presence in the world to all of the unrepentant, God-hating people he knows. Ryan wants God to literally turn their tears to blood so that they can see the power of God and finally recognize His power and all the things that they've done to sadden Him, and through that, Ryan would be able to lead them to Christ.

[@ernestsstroinovs5692]

Have you really not heard Ryan tell so much about how Demon Hunter actually sing about real problems and not "all the unrepentant God-hating people"? Of course, all those ideas have some or other sort of religious undertone but I doubt that Ryan would ever sink so low as to write about "leading people to Christ" in any way shape or form. I've no idea about the meaning of "Blood In the Tears" but you should listen to the interviews with him they made about the songs from "Extremist", they give a lot of insight on the kinds of topics Demon Hunter touch upon and the role of religion in them.

[@anthonybethel1452]

Ernests Stroinovs There is nothing low about leading people to God.

[@CaptainSilencer]

This is like my new favorite from DH.

[@scarsremain7]

@KaTiErox4ever1 what do you mean hating his people???

[@Gleith16]

Pray for all who dont feel like anybody cares, tell them you care.

[@KaTiErox4ever1]

@scarsremain7 To be honest i dont even remember why i said "his people" i mean it was 6 months ago.. but yeah. It does have to do with spiritual warfare.

[@SonOfTheMartyr]

@baci87 Exactly!

[@Drag0nMag3]

@sweetie935 Yes.

@brasko15 w/e bro. I've liked every one of their albums more than the previous one. DH just keeps getting better and better.

[@sjulians626]

@PhoenixUSSR your talking about sleep paralysis ...look it up on google.Possessions are much more than that

[@cheron60]

@KidArwen i know what u mean dude and i dont mean to be a preacher but i have friends the same way all we can do is hope and pray

[@Xivili]

@yoyoyoyorobert1 It depends on the church. Every church that I've been to have talked about demons.

[@leahroot]

@dustiloma well there is a difference between a christian band and christians in a band. no, demon hunter dosen't exactly write sunday morning worship music, but they write songs about deep emotional and spiritual conflicts. christians don't live on cloud 9, they have to express their problems and emotions just like non christians do. also, music that is borderline christian is great for witnessing to nonchristians, because they can get interested, but the message isn't tottally lost to them.

[@PhoenixUSSR]

@sjulians626 I never said possessed to begin with. I know what I went through and I know what sleep paralysis is. As a nutrition and sports medicine minor I'm required to know that, but thank you. Sleep paralysis doesn't include a demon laughing behind your head and a drastic temperature change in an awake environment.

What is that at 3:12? is it a talkbox? :D
