[@cameronjustis3836]

[@OTCRock4one]

Agree! When they played live in years past, the audio wasn't good, they played well but the sound system stunk! This sounds so much better!

[@marcus_nogueira]

Great great! God bless!!! Brazil wants you here

[@in_the_dark117]

Apoiado kkkk

[@JakeTheArmyGuy]

You guys are truly one of the best power metal bands working today. Your strong spiritual message is just a fringe benefit. :P Stay metal, brother!

[@caderiddle5996]

No. It’s the main benefit.

[@manoeljunior42]

Um abraço do Brasil.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

This concert was a dream come true to see, thank you so much for everything you did for me and my family! I've never felt so blessed before, God truly shines through you and every other member of Theocracy. I hope you upload the other songs y'all played that night!

[@KnightHawkMetal]

Same here! It took me a long time but I finally saw Theocracy and WOW they were better than I could have imagined. Amazing

[@fernandoandrade1822]

O Matt Smith é um dos melhores vocais da atualidade !

[@jaymzleutz]

Man, all I can wish for you guys is that our God Almighty keep pouring his blessings and grace over you. Listening for Theocracy for years now. I have 4 albums and each one of them have very special moments. The instrumental, the high-pitching vocals by Matt. This is not merely a awesome and perfect metal band: they are comissioners! And the mission is being accomplished. God Bless Theocracy! PS: tough double dragon guy on Matt's tshirt =P

[@bryanfuel]

This was the first power metal song I ever heard and is what got me into power metal in the first place. This song literally shaped my tastes in music. Please come to SoCal if you ever get a chance! You're the last band on my list of favorite to see live.

[@rafaelalmeida1658]

C'mon to Brasil !!!

[@raremetalmusic1312]

[@jadebouncerson3123]

We were there, man! Such an awesome show!!! As a side note, we were at an Evergrey concert last Saturday night and I saw a couple there wearing Theocracy - Ghost Ship T-shirts. I commented on the shirts (Hey--Theocracy! That's my favorite band!), and was told that they had also been at the Mad With Power fest. Small world, eh?

[@luiscarlosbmonteiro8619]

Matt Smith é um dos melhores vocalistas de Power metal do mundo

[@motoxtreme777]

Behold the tower brick by brick we raise it upward to the sky To reach the heights of heaven and beyond With eyes of fire and burning pride our power cannot be denied So God Himself can look at what we've done Questioning my own intent and motive Babel, are you really all that far away? Sometimes I wonder what we'd do if the applause had died And we found ourselves performing to an empty hall upon an empty stage The eyes of God, or the eyes of man? No one can serve two masters in opposing masterplans But we go our way And keep climbing higher and higher But farther to fall And we build all our strongholds behind all our walls But we stand on the threshold of losing it all All the glory we crave All the towers we raise All the pride we build up to the sky When the vanity fades The illusion gives way to a tower of ashes and lies Still we seek to build our towers higher and higher Sometimes when we think we're so high the only way to go is down When it is our pride that takes us higher and higher We watch our towers crumble and in helplessness we hit the ground But farther to fall And we build all our strongholds behind all our walls But we stand on the threshold of losing it all losing it all All the glory we crave All the towers we raise All the pride we build up to the sky When the vanity fades The illusion gives way to A tower of ashes, A tower of ashes Come on A TOWER of ashes and lies Whoaaaaa! Thank you, My friends!

[@elcomensalo5083]
