FOR A VOICE LIKE THUNDER
RECITATION I
O for a voice like thunder, and a tongue To drown
the throat of war! When the senses are shaken,
and the soul is driven to madness, Who can stand?
When the souls of the oppressed fight in the
troubled air that rages, who can stand?
When the whirlwind of fury comes from the
Throne of God, when the frowns of His
countenance drive the nations together,
who can stand? Who has caused this?
O for a voice like thunder,
and a tongue To drown the throat of war!
When the senses are shaken and the soul is drivento madness,
Who can stand?
When the souls of the oppressed fight in the troubled air that rages,
who can stand?
When the whirlwind of fury comes from theThrone of God,
when the frowns of His countenance drive the nations together
RECITATION II
When Sin claps his broad wings over the battle,
and sails rejoicing in the flood of death;
When souls are torn to everlasting fire,
and fiends of hell rejoice upon the slain
Who has caused this? Who can stand?
Who can answer at the throne of God?
The Kings and Nobles of the land have done it!
Hear it not, Heaven, thy ministers have done it!
The Kings of the land have done it!
O for a voice like thunder, and a tongue To drownthe throat of war! When the senses Are shaken,and the soul is driven to madness,
O who can stand? O who has caused this?
RECITATION III
The Kings and the Nobles of the land have done it!
Hear it not, Heaven,
thy ministers have done it!
The Kings of the land have done it!

I have loved metal since I was in my early teens waaaay back in 1982 or 1983. I have searched for music like this for many years, and although I found great music along the way, I never found exactly what I was looking for. THIS is what I have been looking for for 35 years.

After more than ten years of metal journey, I guess I can say I have reached my destination! Non serviam! \m/

I'm a newcomer to this band. I wasn't ready for this level of pure awesomeness, but I'll make do. This is why I spend hours seeking new music that really speaks to me, because when you finally slog through enough generic shit, you find something like this.

"Who can stand? When the whirlwind of fury comes from theThrone of God?" That's a really good question. William Blake was clearly a mystic of the nothingness. I really like this dark metaphysic thoughts.

Awesome band! Awesome name! Singing the truth!
My favourite bit of this song has to be when he says *"Who has caused this?"* - the voice is just so haunting and threatening.

The nobles, the kings, the ministers have caused this. The ones in power over the poor and oppressed. It's more a political and social statement of Blake' time, not so much a religious one about God.
This band is amazing their music is outstanding
i lived in a so called WG, a conglomerate of different people in one apartment. one of them turned the back at me, didn't pay the rent or any costs. it ended up he destroyed everything in my room and robbed me. I discovered this song these days. Who can stand? it was me, cause i did not turn against!

Does anyone else continue the growl scream long after Sakis has stopped? With eyes squeezed shut, jaw unhinged, mouth agape, head knocking about, hair whipping, body writhing, chill bumps all over their skin, and both them horn hands launched high in the air? Fuck. Yes. This is empowerment. 🤘😈🤘
The intro always gives me goosebumps I imagine a battle outside a castle in the middle of a dark rainy night

I'm tellin ya rotting christ are genius in music. And theology. Magick and all senses. Quit gentleman also.
Medieval Times: Rulers makes laws but does not consult the peasants, knights and soldiers: ensures peasants confiscates weapons to make peasants helpless, nobility: keeps the peasants busy by giving the barely anything to survive on, church: conditions them to accept their fate. Perfect system right? I think. I’m a modern day peasant.

Esta canción es penetrante, una total obra de arte.
Nice. One of my favorite non-Metal artists is Loreena McKennitt and this William Blake poem is in her song "Lullaby" from her CD, "Elemental".
Rotting Christ's music has breathed a new life into this prologue. William Blake, a mystic himself, would've been so happy to hear this song
That scream. So desperate and straight from the fucking abyss. This song along with the album is the best metalalbum produced in years. Every single track gives goosebumps.
This song makes me think of judgement. God coming down and taking care of business. Asking you in 1v 1 who has done this, and you making excuses or playing the blame game. And he's like na b hear it not heaven. When in reality we have done this, each and everyone one of us. Who can stand. Also I'm pretty stoned ignore everything I say
On judgement day when God rides, this is the music that will thunder down from the heavens and fill the earthlings with dread and wonder and joy.
THE KINGS AND THE GNOMES OF THE LAND HAVE DONE IT
I love this band since I heard them from first time. I felt in love. I love their latest material especially. Much more articulate and complex stuff. Keep going
These politicians need to be held accountable... They have done it !

This song is about the Battle of Towton.Probably the bloodiest in the history of England.It was a total massacre...Where both sides decided not to take prisoners...Prisoners were simply slaughtered.The feeling of madness is very evident in the song good on...Πολύ καλός Σάκης :)
Back in 1972, I discovered the spiritual wisdom , dreams, and creative poems with his gorgeous illustrations. Now through Rotting Christ, I Now have very wickedly ace audio. ♤♤♤

This is a masterpiece, the section 5:30 - 6:00 is amazing
