Revolution - Jericho on Fire

This song escalates into a climatic pounding of full chords and a dissonant run of arpeggios to express the frustration this song was written in. It was written in early 08 during the winter. It's a little melodramatic as I have no desire to literally give up and die, however, it does try to express the voice of all around the world who have seen pain beyond pain, who are suffering immensely. It also talks a lot about I want to die to myself, let the slavery to sin that runs through me die, and be built completely new in Christ, reborn. I want a renewing of my mind, the loss of evil- replaced with love; this is who I want to become. The very first line refers to one of the youth group kids from Hartley, IA who prayed about a spiritual revolution, it was a great prayer, and I wrote this later that night.
