- A brilliant cover of a metal song by MY EPIC telling the story of how low God was willing to go to express his love for humans.
"Look, he's covered in dirt
The blood of his mother has mixed with the Earth
and she's just a child who's throbbing in pain
from the terror of birth by the light of a cave
now they've laid that small baby
where creatures come eat
like a meal for the swine who have no clue that he
is still holding together the world that they see
they don't know just how low he has to go
Lower still
Look now he's kneeling he's washin' their feet
though they're all filthy fishermen, traitors and theives
now he's pouring his heart out and they're fallin' asleep
but he has to go lower still
there is greater love to show
hands to the plow
further down now
blood must flow
all his steps are personal
all his pain is ransom
oh do you see, do you see just how low, he has come
do you see it now?
no one takes from him
what he freely gives away
beat in his face
tear the skin off his back
Lower still, lower still
strip off his clothes
make him crawl through the streets
Lower still, lower still
hang him like meat
on a criminal's tree
Lower still, lower still
bury his corpse in the Earth
like a seed, like a seed, like a seed
Lower still, lower still
Lower still, lower still...
The Earth explodes
she cannot hold him!
And all therein is placed beneath Him
and death itself no longer reigns
it cannot keep the ones he gave himself to save
and as the universe shatters the darkness disolves
he alone will be honored
we will bathe in his splendor
as all heads bow lower still
all heads bow lower still"
This was awesome!
Love this so much!!!!
AWEmazing ... I've actually imagined a piano version since first hearing it many years ago but just haven't taken the time to figure it out and play it. Glad you did. :) The one I hear is different than what you have come up with though yours is EXCELLENT. THNX! Your version makes it more palatable for many. One of the most stunning and powerful lyric pieces I have ever heard.
Beautiful music and voice, Michael
Amazing!
I'd love to know the chords or a tutorial on how to play this
