Full Circle (C#m)
Copyright ©2005 Among Seven
All hell break loose, no place to hide
The clouds, they come, and the sun may fade
They hide the sky, they hide away
But He'll judge every secret, come what may
C#m B5 A2 G#m-m7-m-m7
Come what may come, I feel it now
C#m
Now, come and hear me out until the day they come around
I wonder will the world finally regret
this sinful carousel the day it comes around
When it comes around, everybody falls off
And it comes around full circle

Something's stirring in the air lately. I feel that great suffering will be upon the American church shortly, at which point many will fall away to avoid the tribulations. Scripture says that you will suffer if you follow Jesus Christ.
The wicked abomination that is the Christian Music Industry is undermining the work of the Holy Spirit in our generation's lives, while simultaneously preparing us for a great apostasy unlike any other. Many, many, many will fall away. I am convinced of this. Jesus spoke of it. And I believe the Holy Spirit testifies to my heart that this is true.
Look around you. Those we once looked up to for guidance are falling; some are even changing teams in this war. The AntiChristian Music Industry (that is the Christian Music Industry) has made bitter those who had once served so faithfully. The young and Godly are falling so quickly. There exists an ungodly spiritual liberality that is spreading like a wildfire in the hearts of men and women, young and old. Christian artists that we used to look up to only a decade ago have changed teams completely: former DC Talk band member, Kevin Max; Evanescence vocalist, Amy Lee; all that is left of Luna Halo; and the list goes on.
You take one look at the blogs of Kevin Max, and you wonder how a man can change so radically from that passionate, young man of God in the late '80's, early-to-mid-90's, into a self-proclaimed liberal Christian that your parents warn you about. His music has become so self-absored, his spirituality so modern conformist, and his lyrics so indecipheribly encrypted. What ever happened to that man of convictions who sang so passionately about the band MxPx and need for repentance? MxPx had put God on the back burner and were absorbed by the corporate machine, into a self-loving, self-serving career path which sterilizes any Spirit-led saint. Today, it seems Kevin couldn't care less how his life affects the body of Christ or the unsaved. With pictures of himself with alcohol in one hand and a Playboy Bunny in the other, or artsy portraits of his mega ego, it makes it very difficult to ever find out that he's a so-called "Christian".
Luna Halo used to be an awesome band with honest, edgy lyrics, focused on the soundness of scripture, and flourishing on spiritual integrity. Today, it is impossible to find any of these words on their website: God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Bible, prayer, salvation, gospel, etc. In fact, they seem to mention themselves and hot women more than anything. And all their lyrics (as far as I have previewed them on their website) seem to conform to U2's thoughtless recycling of unintelligent, unspiritual, unloving and worthlessly non-thought-provoking contextual concepts; a 10 year-old with an ego and a chip on his shoulder could have written their lyrics. What ever happened to the passionate men of God who lived, breathed, and walked by the Spirit; able to defeat any foolish notion of man, ready to live and die for Christ at all times?
It seems to me these bands are sucked dry by the insatiable entertainment appetites of our children, then spiritually abused in the closet by the AntiChristian Music Industry, who consistently rapes and pillages the Body of Christ to fill its bottomless pockets. Our children, in their tragic fixations on entertainment, have robbed these brothers and sisters from the refreshing confirmations of spiritual fruit and receptiveness in the concert audiences. The bands have grown cold due to their lack of faith, that they should be easily weened from Sound Doctrine or dissuaded to change teams.

I thought I could get by on living the big lie
you've been feeding us all from the very start
But you weren't always this way
I remember you, you used to speak the way that I do
And now you laugh at the expense of others
on your way up to glory
and on their way down to hell
God damn you all to hell
how can you take the smell
of all the bull you've traded for His mercies
Burning offerings to your ears and lips and stomachs
And singing songs to please your sacred cow
Your music never died for anyone
That edgy lyric never rolled a stone away
Can you guiltlessly forget the name you had just yesterday
Has your knowledge been your tragic downfall
