THE SIGN OF JONAH | Christian Metal & Hard Rock | Lyric Video

Step into the epic and dramatic world of "The Sign of Jonah," the brand-new Christian metal track that combines the message of the ancient Biblical narrative of Jonah with the intense yet melodic sounds of metal. While not entirely in the symphonic metal genre, this track also has significantly influences from that genre, as well as hard rock. The lyrics situate the story of Jonah within the broader Biblical narrative of salvation history. Hopefully, this lyric video will be both entertaining and inspiring.
LYRICS
Into depths, where shadows hide, he fled from grace's call.
In the heart of storm and tide, divine will over all.
Three days in the night, repentance and hope's rebirth.
Depths conquered by heaven's light, proclaiming mercy's worth.
From Israel came the son of Amittai,
Hailing from the town of Gath-hepher,
Receives Lord's call to go to Nineveh.
Failing to comply, he should have known better,
Than attempt to flee God's omnipresence.
In his mind Tarshish his destination,
Not willing to aid their enemy nation.
In the ship he rises to a stormy wake-up call.
To save many, he agrees to take the fall,
Death upon death the circumstance represents.
Cast into the raging deep,
Swallowed by a beast of night.
In darkness, no voice left but to weep,
Until he sought the holy light.
In the depths he found his accord,
Knowing that salvation belongs to the Lord.
Three days entombed in watery grave,
From death to life, a soul and a city to save.
By the prophet's thunderous cry,
The evil city sways.
Symbolic death in sackcloth and ashes,
They seek to live and reform their ways.
Bitter at the mercy shown.
Lessons still to learn in grace,
Not just theirs, but also his own.
A reluctant prophet beneath the vine,
Finds some joy, but his mood fluctuates.
Yet steadily his story bears the sign.
In the day of salvation's morn,
Into death's perfect storm,
The One for the many, to save his own,
The Son of Man would be thrown.
In the new covenant's birth.
Paying redemption's great price.
From the heart of the earth,
Victorious he would rise.
HOW I MAKE THESE MUSIC VIDEOS
All of the music on this channel is made with AI music generation software called Suno. The lyrics are from my poetry. In many cases, I have written the lyrics entirely in the "old-fashioned" way, although in several other songs, I've also begun to use ChatGPT to aid in the process. However, these typically require extensive preliminary inputs and significant manual revision and fine-tuning before satisfactory results. Lyric videos are made with Pinnacle Studio 26.
