Desolation Of The Transgressor (Psalm 25)

Epic & ascendant power metal alternating between relative minor for verse/pre-chorus and relative major for chorus/bridge, fast tempo steady at 150 bpm, a deep opening chant with haunting feel, Subsequent powerful soaring female vocals, The verses are powerfully delivered, with blocks of text delivered by one of 2 lead vocalists with powerful and complimentary voices, Dual guitars provide a mixture of classical finger-style guitar, blazing virtuosic solos on an Ionian scale, uplifting power metal foundation from a clearly audible bass line of straight 1/16th notes, Occasional interjections of fast melodic black metal add contrast to this anthemic and hopeful epic, Harpsichord accents should be intermittent, but not dominant

Unto thee, O Lord, I lift my soul O my God, I trust in thee Let not my foes prevail, ashamed I will not be [Pre-Chorus] Yea, let none who wait on thee be shamed Let them be shamed, who transgress devoid of cause [Chorus] Show me thy ways, O Lord Teach me thy paths today Lead me in truth, instruct me, I pray For thou art God, my salvation's light On thee I wait, through day and night Remember thy mercies, O Lord, ever true Thy lovingkindness, from ages past to me and you Forget the sins of youthful days, ignore Transgressions held in mercy's gentle store Remember me, O Lord, for goodness' sake Good and upright, he guides and sinners' paths make [Chorus] The meek he guides with justice clear And teaches them his ways sincere All paths of mercy, truth unfold To those who keep his stories told For thy name's sake, O Lord above Forgive my wrongs, with grace and love What man with fear and reverence bold? Him the Lord instructs, his paths unfold His soul at ease, in peace shall dwell His seed on earth shall inherit well The secret of the Lord revealed To those who fear, his covenant sealed Eyes fixed on him, my feet he'll guide From traps and nets, in him I confide [Prechorus] The secret of the Lord is with those who revere His covenant he'll show, to those who draw near [Chorus] O keep my soul and set me free Shame me not, for trust in thee Let truth and uprightness preserve me strong For on thee I wait, to whom I belong Redeem Israel, O God, thy son From every trial, till battles are won Turn to me, have mercy, hear my plea For desolate and lonely is me Troubles of my heart expand and swell Release me from my woes, my mortal spell Look on pain, forgive my sin's plight O Lord, embrace, return me to light Consider my foes, for hate they spread Their numbers many, cruelly led Guard my heart from their brazen stare Shelter me, O Lord, through your care
