I moved to Japan just over one year ago and since then I've had virtually no time off work. This week is Obon (a Japanese festival) so I've finally found the time to track this properly.

Lyrics:
I feel like these words 
don't amount to anything,
as they spill from my mouth

Spiral through the air,
not received by anyone
They land on the ground

But I sing because You're faithful. Always
I sing because I'm grateful. Always.

Meaning:
Warning - Things are about to get very Christian..........

Sometimes God answers prayers immediately. Sometimes it takes days. Sometimes years.
And sometimes never. Even righteous prayers from righteous people. That's the way it is. 

So this song is about holding on. God may never fulfill your specific request but He is still present and listening. He loves you even if your circumstances tell you otherwise.



Seraph - Spiral

I wrote this for a video Wifey made. Just her reading children's books.
Catchy, annoying and loopable.

BooksForChildren

The second song from the Seraph EP that never was.

As for us, we were awoken while we slept
We were erased from the very pages of the dead
Cause it turned out the air we breathed
Was the dictator of our disease
And it painted us in pictures of profanity

I will change my ways and follow you

You show me your mercy
You show me your love
And bring me back to live
Because of Your mercy
Because of Your love
Because of Your sacrifice

I will change my ways and follow you 

All glory and all praise belong to my Father.

(Loosely based on Ephesians 2)

Torn From The Page

This one's for anyone who has made tough decisions.

Lyrics:
Hear the call of a new adventure
Set a course for an unfamiliar road
Our destinations are diverging
We make our bed so far away from home

Sacrifices on our own part 
And on behalf of the ones we dearly love
Electronic communication
The telephone just isn't enough

Our heart's desires don't always agree
Or fit together conveniently
The only way is to follow a path
And forfeit the others

Our best intentions don't always agree
Or exist in proximity
The only way is to follow a path
And bury the others

Commit to a path and bury the others
Commit to a path, abandon the others

[the teleporter]
Climb into the chamber
Seal the door
Select your destination
from the list on the wall
Hold your breath and close your eyes
Push the button and instantly arrive
On the other side
The continents can't divide us any more


Teleportation

Step Into The Light

Seraph B side:
It's a song about people who love pointless arguments.

Seraph - Technical Victory

EriEDM

Lyrics:

We said our vows while the sun was shining
We were youthful and fresh and naive
The future was bright and it shone in our eyes 
And we promised we'd always believe

But suffering strikes us like lightning
We forget all the good we receive
Thought we had all the answers but our circumstances 
Push us to the edge of defeat

Catastrophe and fear abound
The teeth of despair try to tear you down
But only the brave will go on

Someday we'll see the end of the agony
We'll know them meaning of the misery 
At the conclusion of everything

Like a mighty, towering tree
Begins as a tiny seed
Put your roots down
Deep into solid ground
On the surface it can't be seen
The striving for life underneath
Drill deep into the earth
Further down into the word

Only the strongest will carry on 
The claws of confusion will cut you down

One day will see the light in the lunacy
The calm in the calamity
At the conclusion of everything
