Lyrics: Oh how I long to see the end of every ending To breathe before my last and begin beginning Would You catch the wind with Your arm? Or lift my oceans with a heave? All hell sound your sirens Hold Your breath for three words conceived: It is finished Walking down the streets I watch You turn Your face from me They ripped the skin from my back dissecting eternity You clothed me in darkness given a rose but wearing the thorns instead My last breath I watch God hang His robes over the sun To hide a child becoming corruption Clean hands Eternity nailed to a tree How tired You must have been Clean hands From a garden to misery Bearing the weight of men Yet You raise Yourself higher to take Your last breath Demons pause with terror I am blood enough to never run dry still You despise me Sinking the spear in my side when You hung beside me on that day Cursing at the wind will not stop the message I send Clean hands Eternity nailed to a tree How tired You must have been Clean hands From a garden to misery Bearing the weight of men Yet You raise Yourself higher to take Your last breath (Bear witness once and for all) It is finished Would You catch the wind with Your arm? Or lift my oceans with a heave? All hell sound Your sirens Hold Your breath for three words conceived
I attended BIOLA university with the members of Phinehas. I would go to their shows they would put on behind the dorms, and rock out all night long. They would put on more shows at local churches with their peers, and I would be there. I even interviewed the band, and wrote up an article for the BIOLA's newspaper. I was friends with their former drummer, Lee, and he even let me interview him when I had my own radio show for the university. Such cool dudes!
I didn't get to know them that way but I saw them for the first time at Creation Fest Northeast back in 2015, I got to chat with them and get a pic with the band. Then, a week later, my family and I went to see them again and they all recognized me despite only really hanging out for a few minutes at Creation. At every show since then, Sean and Lee both recognized me any time I was there. It honestly meant a lot that they made some random fan feel like we had been friends for years, they're very cool dudes!
What I wouldn't give to be at one of those shows again! That original line up put on such a fun show. I remember the bassist would be ruing around and jumping off everything he could, and Glenn and Scotty were just such cool guitarists! Haha I grew up in the area and played a bunch of shows with them. Man, I miss those days! Happy to see them at this level!
This is my favorite song from my favorite band. Thanks for this video! This song, band, and video are severely under appreciated and deserve more attention.
@@twentyfourtythree1190 I heard that he can be kind of condescending on stage and be degrading to others. At least I have heard it. But I heard that he is a super weird dude
I feel like HGTA is moreso meant to shock people who are expecting to hear an old timey hymn. I'd recommend something like Into Oblivion, Ex Nihilo, or End of the Age.
I saw them live once over here in Europe and it was an experience. Was amazing to have their positivity and spiritfilled message on stage next to other secular bands \m/
Hey pastor rob you should react to Brian Head Welch he is the guitarist of Korn. The song is called WASHED BY BLOOD. He seeked out Christianity to recover from drug addiction the song is very heavy and lyrically deep
Really enjoyed your reaction to this one. Been a huge fan of Phinehas since 2017 when I first heard Dark Flag, which is definitely worth checking out. "Hell Below" and "Dark Flag" are two great songs from that album. God bless!
Hey guys, another great video! I love the theological breakdown of lyrics that you do, I even use some of the information you provide in my college assignments. I’m going to Regent university so there’s a lot of Christian theology to go through and these videos have actually helped lol. It’s funny you said you hate to call this Sunday “Easter” due to the pagan background it has and called it resurrection day because I said the exact same thing this morning to friends/family. Going to leave my Architects Royal Beggars suggestion here again lol. Have a blessed day! 😀
Yes please to "Royal Beggars"! It's come up many times with both Christian and non-Christian friends alike so I'd love to hear Pastor Rob's thoughts on it
I opened for these guys back in 2018 with my old local band in Virginia. They’re just as good live as they are on record. You guys should check out their song, “Dyson Sphere.” That one features Garrett from Silent Planet.
Phinehas is my absolute favorite metalcore band of all time! Extremely deep, theologically-centered lyrics with creative, artistic and melodic songwriting. You can't go wrong with them haha As for me, I have a slightly opposite opinion from Gage, I find Thegodmachine to be their best (with Dark Flag, their most recent one, a close second) because it has a very artistic and progressive flow to it. Grace Disguised By Darkness all the way through to the final track, That I May Love You, feels like they wrote it all as one song and split it into several different tracks, akin to what a lot of progressive rock and metal bands do. Meanwhile, Till the End -- while still an awesome album -- is my least favorite of theirs. But hey, that's opinions for ya!
A great reminder of the death and resurrection of Jesus during the Easter season. Their sound reminds me of In the Midst of Lions. I appreciated your reaction to Impending Doom's Murder do you mind reaching to their newer song "Everything's fake"? It's pretty during for this day and age. Blessings
They got a new guitarist for this album. It took it to another level. Also have y'all done oh sleeper yet? They are one of my favorite Christian metalcore bands. Y'all would love them I promise.
You need to cover "the king" by wolves at the gate. And I would also love it if you covered "my confession" by for today and "dog like Vultures" by Haste the day. You guys are awesome and have been helping me get my faith back!!
Great reaction as always! I'd like to see you guys do If they're not counted, count me out by Being As An Ocean. I think it could spark an interesting conversation!
First thought about the sinking spear is a reference to us all as sinners? The thief beside him, the soldier with his spear, everyone, we are all sinners.
I've listened to this album many times and I don't think I've ever really paid attention to the lyrics for this song, they write great stuff. I'd recommend checking out their song Dyson Sphere
A fun old band that has disbanded (I think?) is Becoming the Archetype. Their last album (I Am) has a couple great songs -> the first 3 on the album. Mountain of Souls is great, as is Evil Unseen, Dichotomy, Artificial Immortality, and Ransom. Also maybe look at the celestial completion album for the songs elemental wrath and xenosynthesis (play these 2 back to back). Take a look, hopefully y'all like it. EDIT: I also just remembered Oh Sleeper. They have some great songs: Hush Yael, Endseekers, The Color Theft, The whole Titan EP. They are stellar.
Would love to see you guys react to all three of Becoming the Archetype's "Requiem Aeternam" trilogy pieces as a whole. It's Pt1- Music of the Spheres, Pt 2- Elemental Wrath, Pt 3- Xenosynthesis.
PLEASE do review band For All Eternity and their song "All That Awaits" or "Unharness". Or any other song)) TY for doing what you are doing. God Bless!
Got everything you want musically from your Metalcore and great subject matter too! You should check out Mortification, distarnish priest, primative rhythm machine, Mephibosheth, scrolls of the Megiloth the list goes on. Really great Biblical references with a nineties death metal sound.
"Behold the Crown" or "Lost in the Static" by After the Burial (either will blow Pastor Rob’s mind) and "Deceiver" or "Out if Control" by The Ghost Inside
what’s up pastor rob! i love you and your son’s content bc of how open minded y’all are and how considerate y’all are of people’s opinions. im not too sure if y’all have reacted to any avenged sevenfold but if you can please check out the official video for “The Stage” it’s super deep and im curious how y’all will react haha. much love from TX
I'm an atheist, but I honestly love the depth you go into this. I enjoy it, a lot. I loved The Heretic Anthem video the most. Keep bringing these videos, it's a shame it isn't more frequent that you upload. I hope you enjoyed your Easter, sorry for saying Easter, obviously you don't like saying it yourself. Metal on.
This songs lyrics bring me to tears (or close). This song really captures the crucifixion as a whole. By the way, I help write for Beyond The Grave :) just happened to glance at the description and I saw a name I recognized haha!
You guys should do "God Went North" by Nothing More. It's about the lead singers mom who died of cancer. It's a song that means a lot to me, because my grandma died from brain tumours in 2014. I can't listen to the song anymore without breaking down and crying. I would absolutely love if you guys did that song, because it's an incredible song, and you can truly feel the emotion in it.
Would of been perfect timing to do it today, They would probably like any song really by Theocracy, great power Metal riffs and an incredible voice on Matt Smith
So awesome, so metal. Biblical imagery is so much better than what the classics lumbered us with. I know some people love the kj and nkj, (and for poetry it is nice) but I think people need to get an niv or net to easily understand what is written, and also an expanded bible with an internal concordance.
Lyrics:
Oh how I long to see the end of every ending
To breathe before my last and begin beginning
Would You catch the wind with Your arm?
Or lift my oceans with a heave?
All hell sound your sirens
Hold Your breath for three words conceived:
It is finished
Walking down the streets I watch You turn Your face from me
They ripped the skin from my back dissecting eternity
You clothed me in darkness given a rose but wearing the thorns instead
My last breath
I watch God hang His robes over the sun
To hide a child becoming corruption
Clean hands
Eternity nailed to a tree
How tired You must have been
Clean hands
From a garden to misery
Bearing the weight of men
Yet You raise Yourself higher to take Your last breath
Demons pause with terror
I am blood enough to never run dry still You despise me
Sinking the spear in my side when You hung beside me on that day
Cursing at the wind will not stop the message I send
Clean hands
Eternity nailed to a tree
How tired You must have been
Clean hands
From a garden to misery
Bearing the weight of men
Yet You raise Yourself higher to take Your last breath
(Bear witness once and for all)
It is finished
Would You catch the wind with Your arm?
Or lift my oceans with a heave?
All hell sound Your sirens
Hold Your breath for three words conceived
So awesome, so metal. Biblical imagery is so much better than what the classics lumbered us with.

Phinehas is amazing........... also........ the world needs to hear Then It Ends!!!!!!
Agree!!
Big facts! Such a good band!
10000% agree Then it ends - is only where it begins😉
Finally some Phinehas love!
I’ve been waiting and asking so long
They should do Seven by them, possibly my favorite Phinehas song.
@@EchthelionII the acoustic version of it too ... so damn good
@@SephirothDA Agreed
@@EchthelionII the fact they can do acoustic and heavy metal and make them both fantastic is amazing
I like christian metal because it is spotlights god and his glory and still be heavy.🤘🙏
Amen, so great in it's meaning and so beautiful in it's heaviness!!
Great video gents, great song too! Happy Resurrection day!
Phinehas is hands down one of my favorite bands I am so blessed every time I hear them
Same brother! I can listen to any other band for a few days, But I ALWAYS come back to phinehas!
Big Phinehas fan. Met them after they played a few years ago. Really nice, down to earth dudes.
Great video guys! Glad to see Gauge getting in there too! Can't wait for new Phinehas soon!
Know death:Know forever is a must listen by them!
Amen!
That song is so amazing
This is my favorite song from my favorite band. Thanks for this video! This song, band, and video are severely under appreciated and deserve more attention.
Phinehas has been my most played heavy metal band after For Today disbanded.
For Today is a good band, I saw their farewell show. However, Mattie is kind of a garbage human being.
@@twentyfourtythree1190 what has Maddie done I've never heard anything
@@twentyfourtythree1190 we all are.
@@twentyfourtythree1190 I heard that he can be kind of condescending on stage and be degrading to others. At least I have heard it. But I heard that he is a super weird dude
@@twentyfourtythree1190 got any backstory behind that statement?
Love me some Phinehas 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
I’m pretty sure they’re working on a new album!
Thanx bros!!!
Ive been waiting too too long for a new Phinehas album! Thats exciting!!
Hands down Phinehas' best work, and possibly my favorite song of all time. So glad you reacted to it. Gives me chills every time.
-Kyle
Thanks for showing me this band! Great reaction as always, love the videos!
Phinehas - I Am the Lion Next plz ✌️
Wouldn't you do that song first???
My favorite song
@@isaiahconway1207🤘🤘🤘
@@isaiahconway1207 my favorite album Till the End. What's your?
Blood on my knuckles!
Great dudes! They have a new album dropping in the near future. Be on the lookout! Also, you should do their song “Fleshkiller” 🤘🏻
Phinehas is awesome! Thank you for doing this song!
It is about time!!! Blood on my knuckles is another banger
Happy Easter brothers Jesus is risen
How long has it been since I watched one of your videos, you have both changed so much :joy:
Have you ever did a reaction to Becoming the Archetype? If not, may I recommend their version of the hymn "How Great Thou Art"?
Their guitarist joined this band. Hopefully, they make a comeback eventually!
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 I didn't know that. It would be nice if they had a reunion with the original vocalist/bassist too
I feel like HGTA is moreso meant to shock people who are expecting to hear an old timey hymn. I'd recommend something like Into Oblivion, Ex Nihilo, or End of the Age.
I Saw BTA in South Africa in 2010... Amazing band! I love.. How Great Thou Art
Love, love, love the song!!!! Your examination of it is better!
Loved the reaction! Been following Phinehas for years! Can’t wait to see what you react to next!
This song gives me chills every time I hear it! 😍
Pastor Rob’s face at the beginning is exactly my face when I first heard this song. The “yeah that is SICK nasty” face 😂
Never heard of this group but I have now, exceptional work, powerful lyrics, amazingly heavy riffs and instrumentals. I’ll add them to my wish list.
U should do i am the lion by them sooooo goood soooo heavy you guys will love it
God bless you guys! Much love and happy Easter! Loved the reaction, I loved to see you guys do “Any Given day-Savior” or “In This Moment-Oh Lord”
By far one of the best reaction channels. Love you guys
Thank you! 🙏
Best band of all time
LOVVEEEEEEE Phinehas!
Love your show Jesus bless you both
These guy's are awesome and super hyped for their next release.
Thanks guys. I appreciate your channel. Thank God for y’all.
I’ve loved Phinehas for years!!!
I saw them live once over here in Europe and it was an experience. Was amazing to have their positivity and spiritfilled message on stage next to other secular bands \m/

Hey pastor rob you should react to Brian Head Welch he is the guitarist of Korn. The song is called WASHED BY BLOOD. He seeked out Christianity to recover from drug addiction the song is very heavy and lyrically deep
One of my top favorite bands! I love Phinehas, I wish they'd come to my state!
YES! This album is in my Top 3 Metalcore albums of all time and I don’t know what the other two are lol. Thanks for reacting!
Really enjoyed your reaction to this one. Been a huge fan of Phinehas since 2017 when I first heard Dark Flag, which is definitely worth checking out. "Hell Below" and "Dark Flag" are two great songs from that album. God bless!
FINALLLY PHINEHASSSS!!!!! YES
Happy Resurrection Day! This was a perfect song for today...I love every reaction you do, but the Christian holidays are my favorite

Favorite band In the business!
The debt has been paid. Sounds like a Ray Comfort message. Great job.

I have “can you even think of me without reducing me” on my left forearm. Favorite song by them.

You NEED to hear that, man

That is very powerful and heavy

Heck yes, SUCH A GOOD SONG.
Happy day of ressurection!
Love me some Phinehas man. I’m a sucker for this classic sounding metalcore. Lol
I'd love to hear you guys breakdown Devildriver - Sin & Sacrifice! 🖤
You need to cover "the king" by wolves at the gate. And I would also love it if you covered "my confession" by for today and "dog like Vultures" by Haste the day. You guys are awesome and have been helping me get my faith back!!
Hey congratulations on the great video!
Next time you're doing an easter one I recommend
Becoming The Archetype - Self Existent
Great reaction as always! I'd like to see you guys do If they're not counted, count me out by Being As An Ocean. I think it could spark an interesting conversation!
First thought about the sinking spear is a reference to us all as sinners?
The thief beside him, the soldier with his spear, everyone, we are all sinners.
Suggestion, listen to 'The Reaping' by Living Sacrifice
I never actually read the lyrics, those are absolutely beautifully written!
I've listened to this album many times and I don't think I've ever really paid attention to the lyrics for this song, they write great stuff. I'd recommend checking out their song Dyson Sphere

"Would you catch the wind with your arm..." reminds me of Proverbs 30:4-6
love this song so much more than the headbanding from the pastor xdd greatings from lima Peru
It is finished. Idk what I'm fixing to listen too but I know those are the work Christ spoke on the cross. Happy Easter
Man great video, great discussion, awsome shirt. You should think about doing Believe by Disturbed, any song off the album.
Fun fact Garret from silent planet Mentioned that he was best friends with the vocalist of this band.
Sean helped garret get better at screaming! They need more collabs!
PLEASE do review band For All Eternity and their song "All That Awaits" or "Unharness". Or any other song))
TY for doing what you are doing.
God Bless!
Have a good easter.😊🥳

Can you guys do "Big Bad Wolf" or "Golden Calf" by Disciple?
Keep up the good work. God bless your family!
Phinehas are awesome
Please review literally every song on the new album. It is possibly the best Christian metal album in existence.
I'm an atheist, but I honestly love the depth you go into this. I enjoy it, a lot. I loved The Heretic Anthem video the most.

Pastor Rob I live in the Orlando area, Can I come visit your church??
I listen to more metal with these gents than anywhere else.
The Path by Fit For a King is worth a reaction actually that whole album is worth it. Love your content! (I know I’m late with this comment)
I would love to see you guys react to Behemoth!
Happy Easter
Now you guys gotta do some Norma Jean. I. The Planet please!!!
Was hoping for Theocracy’s “Easter” today but I’ll take this. Lol
I was too!! I actually suggested it like a day or ago, would of been GREAT
@@jakejambor1 i have also, as well as “I Am”. For some reason it gets ignored but man he would love them
So was I!!!!! I've been listening to it all day
Would of been perfect timing to do it today,
They would probably like any song really by Theocracy, great power Metal riffs and an incredible voice on Matt Smith
He should still listen to Easter, period. He'll get goosebumps and cry, lol
Haste the day
WOW
So awesome, so metal. Biblical imagery is so much better than what the classics lumbered us with.

Try this one..... Seventh Day Slumber My Struggle....... I have looked and haven't seen where you have done this one yet..... It is powerful.....
Gotta check out Hell Below, I Am the Lion, Seven, The Wishing Well, Fleshkiller, Know Death; Know Forever
