"Walls," by Manic Drive
This is undeniably my favorite song right now. I just heard about this band a few days ago, and I'm already in love! Manic Drive is a Christian band with a style that is a mix of hip-hop and metal. They started out as an indie band under the name One Cross until they were signed to Whiplash Records. They released their first Whiplash Records' album under the name Manic Drive in 2005.
The song "Walls" is from their record "Blue." Here are the lyrics:
WALLS, Manic Drive
We are one but we're not the same
For a thousand years we've played this game
And the tension rises up
Yeah, the passion's given up
So our God reaches to unite
While amongst ourselves we fight
And I'm sick of wasting time
Yeah, I got something on my mind
So lift your hands, move your feet
Get your, get yourself ready
Lift your flags, hit the streets
And charge
(2x)
No you can never stop it from coming
Those against me can take off running
Cause there's something going down
Ya these walls are coming down
Cause the truth that has been said
Will unite us once again
Cause there's something going down
Ya these walls are coming down
Can we practice what we preach
And turn these fists into hands that reach
Embrace ourselves with open arms
Turn this hate into loving heart
What goes up, must come down
So I'll march towards this town
And undo what has been done
Tear down these bricks and stones one by one
So lift your hands, move your feet
Get your, get yourself ready
Lift your flags, hit the streets
And charge
(2x)
No you can never stop it from coming
Those against me can take off running
Cause there's something going down
Ya these walls are coming down
Cause the truth that has been said
Will unite us once again
(2x, Instrumental, then 2x)
So, listen to the song, read the lyrics, and then continue reading:
This song is about waking up to this world which is dying. Families are falling apart, people aren't living for God. It's time to "Lift your hands, move your feet, get yourself ready, lift your flag, hit the streets and charge." It's time that the walls that keep us from witnessing, from trying to save those of this world, fall.
I seriously suggest that those who like Christian rock look up this band. They're great!
God bless!
