When you really consider the disparity that exists between those preaching the gospel and those living the gospel, these lyrics stir emotions and reach into the depths of your spirit to produce change. I discovered Kings Kaleidoscope a little over a year ago, and since then they have easily been the best group I've heard in Christian music, in terms of musicality and transparency through clever lyricism. Stay the course gentlemen and continue to give Christ all the glory.
Check out Jon Guerra as well. He's not well known right now, and his music is different than KK's, but he's lyrically on par and on another level as far as Christian music goes.
Heard this song through the podcast "The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill" and wow, never have I heard a song that so perfectly captures my complicated relationship with the Christian evangelical church. The dichotomy of wanting to serve the Lord and live the gospel, but also feeling so skeptical and untrusting of churches, big and small, due to religious trauma. Not to mention the guilt of possibly being complacent in damage done to others.
I heard it there too!! So good and a perfect picture 🔥 I can’t believe I have never heard of Kings kaleidoscope, seriously amazing musicians and artists.
@@TylerJonesmechanical9 Interesting take. I can see that possibility. I think in light of the previous line, "where the captain's a captor," makes me lean towards "pastor" being a noun and not a verb.

I JUST discovered this band and this has become one of my ALL TIME favorite songs. We need more of this band and I would love for them to come out to Denver, CO. KEEP IT UP
These are words from a man who understands the hurt, disillusionment, and disorientation you go through after leaving a dysfunctional church. In the end, we end up dazed and confused and Jesus weeps over his flock. I was shook when I first heard this song. He somehow captured the struggle between trying to please our Savior, own selfish motives, twisted altogether with sins of the church.
Yeah! Unfortunately, the church is full of sinners and imperfect people who are trying to be perfect. Only Christ is teh way to be made perfect. @@jdwoanders
@@wurouchamee5220 You completely missed my point. We are only made perfect through Christ and what he did on the cross for us. His standard is so high, it's impossible to achieve on your own. God bless.
Dude, this song is loaded with the spirit of God! Like it’s packed. Not like the Doritos bags of chips where there only fill it 42% this is 100% packed with the spirit!
GMG live Packed like the flavor in a Chick-Fil-A meal. God makes things better. I’m not nearly as skilled with my words as this band but one thing I can say is, Amen!
This is one of the places true ministry is at - showing up, free on bullshit and nonsense, sharing your art, and showing God's love - that we are loved as we are, and forgiveness gives us a new chance, daily, to be more like Jesus of Nazareth. God bless.
I love how you've taken pain and suffering and failure of man and turned it into something beautiful. Truly, the rock of Jesus Christ, his truth and love is our firm foundation and through him we can move through the damage caused by those who used his name but departed from him, damaging people in the process. God bless.
I'm glad they could tell their story of church abuse through this song, and still come out of it all on God's side. I'm sure it was therapeutic for them.
You should consider being one, learn about it, accept Christ into your heart (accept that he died for your sins and rose again 3 days later, if you believe, you get eternal life after you die, and joy that this world could never bring)

Kings K should be soooooo much more known than they are today. And at this writing they're at the height of their fandom to date. I've shared their music with Christians and others - same result: true appreciation for the beauty and creativity of the music and lyrics. ZEAL!
The band member from the MH bonus episode is really the only one who told a story of clinging to Christ, pushing forward and overcoming the abuse instead of spending years in therapy, abandoning church altogether, and deconstructing faith. Not trying to dismiss the pain, but the Gospel is very much a story of redemption. Don't worry about MD, his day in the High Court of our Lord will come. In the meantime, look to God, don't create an empathy culture where you spend your life nursing wounds. Once you feel healing rush in, get up, keep moving forward, keep anticipating the coming of the Kingdom. Don't lose heart or faith, God is greater than our pain and in His sovereignty even allows us to experience these things. So Don't live life in light of hardship but in light of victory in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Let the dead things be buried. Then death is a door, even a reward for the believer knowing they will stand before Christ having finished the race, scars and all. Faith in tact.
i dont know what I would do if I would of never hear this band may Gods anointing always be with them and when the temptation of selling out comes along that they will stand upon a the rock and not be moved.May the Lord double their portions
I just wanted Chad Gardner and Tyler Joseph to performing together, am I dreaming too much? By the way, this song is amazing, I can see clearly God through you, guys ❤️❤️
In a special interview of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, the lead singer explained that the beauty was the bride/church and the painting was the blood of Jesus. So it’s that Jesus’ blood can cover even the sins of those who split up the bride of Christ, and it’s the blood of Christ that can unify everyone; even after splitting the church, we are still all brothers and sisters
To those who wish KK should be so much more known than they are, please don't underestimate the Power and Grace that comes with not being known. Thank You Jesus for this music. It has blesssed my spirit.
This song is awesome...everything the way it is put together.. the different instruments ... the beat...the awesome young people..the lyrics.... I just can't get enough of it and I'm 60 years old!
The real lyrics to verse one will always be: Did I pledge my allegiance For the purpose of progress To a priest or a prophet Playing god in the process? HOW DARE YOU?! WHO IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! Was I chasing convenience In a wave of disaster Where the captain’s a captor And I’m a puppet to pastor?
You guys are awesome. I heard this song on a commercial and I was like, that is the illest beat I have heard in a while. Glad I found you guys. Looking forward to enjoying more of your music.
This is one of my on-repeat songs lately. So much truth entwined in the lyrics; the lyrics, the voice, the music all combined to make an absolutely beautiful message
The Rise of Mars Hill podcast brought me here. Wow. Cannot get this song out of my head. The podcast is fantastic and the featured music raises the quality of production even more. May God be glorified as we grapple with our hopeless humanity and desperate need for a Savior.
So I don't really like my husband's taste in music. We were on a family road trip and he was listening to this, I secretly saved this on my playlist. I'm rocking out to this for sure. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life!
I love what you sing. Your music is insane and the best is for the glory of GOD. keep it up. I am in you dial, I go the message fully. I pray for other people to leave secular music thrash.
When you’ve been serving in a church, under an abusive head pastor, it hits hard. 💔 God is good though. I think that’s where this song is getting me. Is my allegiance to church/pastor, or God? Did we as humans split the church over our control issues? Asking God to paint beauty over our broken, disjointed mess. Looking for real religion. Tired of scripted sermons instead of Biblical exegesis. Asking Christ to turn the tables when we rearranged them after he flipped them in the temple.
Great work Kings Kaleidoscope, That is an underrated Masterpiece, hope it gets more attention and i also hope to hear more of you! Thanks for making good music !!!

I'm quite torn with how I feel about Mark Driscoll now that I've listen through 'the rise and fall of mars hill.' He has had such a positive influence on my own life and ministry but looking at the consistent allegations against him, I'm surprised that he can have such a gifted way of explaining scripture, yet miss it himself.
I've experienced something similar with a small church that I left recently, and now I'm beginning to realize how abusive the whole structure is and how unbiblical and ungodly the leadership style was. However, I came to Christ there under those pastors and I learned to know and low God as my Father, Savior and Lord and for that I'll forever be thankful to them that they created a space for that. Nonetheless, God has led me to believe that my love for Him means looking at the truth no matter what, and that means looking at all the abuse I witnessed and experienced. God can and will use broken people to make himself known (literally ANY bible story ever) and that's the thought that helped me. My pastors in all their character flaws and power mongering still loved the Lord to some extent and allowed Him to move in the church to some extent, and my Lord and Savior took that opportunity to catch me, and I'll forever be grateful to Him for that! That doesn't negate the mistakes my pastors made, nor do the mistakes negate that deep down they really do want to serve God. I believe they are not willing to pay the price of genuinely reflecting, that would be too hurtful and inconvenient, but they nonetheless Love the Lord to some extent. Now all I can do is forgive them and learn from their mistakes. I hope this helps you :)
Many will miss heaven by 18 inches, the distance from their head to their heart. They know about Christ, but do not know Him. - Steve Lawson I don’t know if Mark is sincerely an immature believer or an unbeliever but this is just a thought
I always loved it when they lead worship at Mars Hill. The nights at the Paradox were some of the most impactful of my life. I remember sharing the gospel with the homeless teens that conglomerated around the U District of Seattle. Amazing how something so beautiful got flipped into such a nightmare.
Lol...correction its Does it Feel Like Real Love Yet? /Sticks & Stones / Danger In The Jungle. Sticks and Stones is by far my favorite song on this album and most relatable for me.
There’s no other band or sound like Kings Kaleidoscope. They’re just so unique, it’s amazing. That’s why they’re my favorite band
Amen!! you took the words out of my mouth!!
One of my fav band. I love them so much
Yes

Same here, I came from the podcast. I'm blown away by the song, and I can't wait to hear more from Kings Kaleidoscope.
Amen
Same here. I read the lyrics...how appropriate.
Such a sad line, "I'm a puppet to pastor." 😥😥 I'm glad that Christ is still worthy to be worshiped and followed despite bad pastors.
pastor could be a verb and not a noun in this instance
@@TylerJonesmechanical9 Interesting take. I can see that possibility.
I think in light of the previous line, "where the captain's a captor," makes me lean towards "pastor" being a noun and not a verb.
[Verse 1]
Did I pledge my allegiance
For the purpose of progress
To a priest or a prophet
Playing god in the process?
Was I chasing convenience
In a wave of disaster
Where the captain’s a captor
And I’m a puppet to pastor?
[Pre-Hook]
A worthless war
A curtain torn
To take control of the ship
A nail of shame
A broken vein
To write redemption a script
A truthless gun
A dying Son
To turn the tables we flipped
Turn the tables we flipped

Paint the beauty we split
Paint the beauty we split
Paint the beauty we split
Paint the beauty we split
Nah nah nah, nah

They don’t get it, I don’t get it
We’re committed to sticks and stones
What's a vision if it's driven to imprison?

Undecided, but I'm trying still divided

Show me a man and honest mission

Longing to give and taste forgiveness
Dying to live a pure religion
Settle the rush to chase a mission
Open my eyes and soul to listen
Listen

Thats a lot of lyrics to remember
Who else is here after hearing “the Rise & fall of Mars hill”? (Episode 3)
And then discovering that the band formed at Mars Hill and the lead singer was the church worship leader. VERY INTERESTING.

Musica de qualidade no corpo de Cristo!
Yeeeees, plss!!!!!
"Morality, the mother of their affectionate cover up. Does it feel like real love yet?"

I’m late to the party but happy to join along this great musical ride.
I love Kings Kaleidoscope! I came back to this song after listening to The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill and the song is so appropriate!
Ultra artistically creative and theologically sound Christian group- something very difficult to achieve and yet by God's grace they've made it.
The beginning gives me a Bon Iver vibe. Absolutely love it!
Best song hands down …
This has got to be my favorite video yet
This music is really powerful in the name of Jesus. We do not need other secular music. God bless you all of you. I got your music.
I could totally play the piano part for this song
In love with this band! Come to Brazil please!!
Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase
Up! 🇧🇷 ❤
O Brazil precisa conhecer KK.. É uma pena eles terem menos de 15 mil inscritos

YEEEEESSS THOUGHT THE SAME! don't know why but i thought that Tyler would love this music so much!
that would be incredible
ABSOLUTELY
What is the meaning of “paint the beauty we split”?
In a special interview of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, the lead singer explained that the beauty was the bride/church and the painting was the blood of Jesus. So it’s that Jesus’ blood can cover even the sins of those who split up the bride of Christ, and it’s the blood of Christ that can unify everyone; even after splitting the church, we are still all brothers and sisters
Wooo that’s good
Braziiil!!! 2023! Amazing song 🎵

Paint the beauty we split
Paint the beauty we split
Paint the beauty we split
Turn the tables we flipped (Nah nah nah, nah)
Paint the beauty we split
Take control of this ship
Paint the beauty we split
Write redemption a script
Paint the beauty we split
Turn the tables we flipped
Paint the beauty we split
Nah nah nah, nah
Show me a man, an honest mission
I'm willing to hope beyond suspicion
Show me the race, I'll run the distance
Longing to give and taste forgiveness
Dying to live a pure religion
Settle the rush to chase submission
Open my eyes and soul to listen
Hermanos mis respetos!! Lo que hacen es hermoso! Ojalá algún día tenga la gracia de escucharlos en vivo, abrazos desde Argentina!
Paint the beauty we split!
Lyrics music and sound everything absolutely awesome.
I'm quite torn with how I feel about Mark Driscoll now that I've listen through 'the rise and fall of mars hill.' He has had such a positive influence on my own life and ministry but looking at the consistent allegations against him, I'm surprised that he can have such a gifted way of explaining scripture, yet miss it himself.
I've experienced something similar with a small church that I left recently, and now I'm beginning to realize how abusive the whole structure is and how unbiblical and ungodly the leadership style was. However, I came to Christ there under those pastors and I learned to know and low God as my Father, Savior and Lord and for that I'll forever be thankful to them that they created a space for that. Nonetheless, God has led me to believe that my love for Him means looking at the truth no matter what, and that means looking at all the abuse I witnessed and experienced. God can and will use broken people to make himself known (literally ANY bible story ever) and that's the thought that helped me. My pastors in all their character flaws and power mongering still loved the Lord to some extent and allowed Him to move in the church to some extent, and my Lord and Savior took that opportunity to catch me, and I'll forever be grateful to Him for that! That doesn't negate the mistakes my pastors made, nor do the mistakes negate that deep down they really do want to serve God. I believe they are not willing to pay the price of genuinely reflecting, that would be too hurtful and inconvenient, but they nonetheless Love the Lord to some extent. Now all I can do is forgive them and learn from their mistakes. I hope this helps you :)
A lot of the hate he gets comes from progressive Christians. It doesnt mean much
Many will miss heaven by 18 inches, the distance from their head to their heart. They know about Christ, but do not know Him. - Steve Lawson
I don’t know if Mark is sincerely an immature believer or an unbeliever but this is just a thought
I always loved it when they lead worship at Mars Hill. The nights at the Paradox were some of the most impactful of my life. I remember sharing the gospel with the homeless teens that conglomerated around the U District of Seattle. Amazing how something so beautiful got flipped into such a nightmare.
Paint the beauty we spit 👏🏻
I would love to see a collab with Mali Music and Kings Kaleidoscope.
This song is Holy and prophetic, yet confessional! Soundtrack to the American church.
Heard this track on the new set of Lexus commercials... shame that they didn't keep the lyrics for those spots! Such a good song!
one of the best band out now, they are the Roots of this Christian genre
Everything is gonna be ok. We are ONE. GIVE LESS AND FEEL BLESSED WITH YOU HAVE!!
Lol...correction its Does it Feel Like Real Love Yet? /Sticks & Stones / Danger In The Jungle. Sticks and Stones is by far my favorite song on this album and most relatable for me.
