Actually Neal did some backmasking here, or on the other version of the temple of the living God. I tried reversing it and Neal is speaking some verses from Revelation about New Jerusalem, but it is recorded backwards. Not sure why he recorded it backwards, but hey. :)

Music is an artistic form and a creative expression. If an artist writes on Christian themes, that is his or her way of expressing something in their life/mind/soul. Please, give them permission to express.
And then after all, with our backs against the wall We seek the temple of the living God. And outside the gate the cripples sit and wait To see the temple of the living God To see the temple of the living God Suffer, trespass, stranger redeemed Leviticus 21:18 The blind, the lame, the flat nosed, superfluous Broken footed on burning sand The Priest, the seed, the blood stained hand The leper testifies and turns to dust And then after all, with our backs against the wall We seek the temple of the living God And outside the gate the cripples sit and wait To see the temple of the living God To see the temple of the living God Oblation, vows, the promise of faith Atonement, the wine, oil and cakes The sheep, the goats, acceptable in his eyes The maimed, the blemished, the scurvy scabbed The creeping things, the firstborn lamb Avail his presence in the house of sacrifice And then after all, with our backs against the wall We seek the temple of the living God And outside the gate the cripples sit and wait To see the temple of the living God To see the temple of the living God
@AR485 That's a good question. God invented music, but most "Christian" music I hear is lame top-40 pop format. And for pop, it's less interesting than secular pop. In fact, some of it is so bland and repetitive it makes me insane. But, there are other bands out there that lift Him up in more powerful ways. Check out Glass Hammer, ESPECIALLY their album "Lex Rex". There is hope.
now, i've quite gotten used to people arguing about religion underneath worship videos and christian rock and sometimes even mainstream rock, but here? and I thought prog fans were more mature than that. where did these arguments even come from, anyway? I don't get how people can get offended by some lyrics just because they contain messages you don't agree with. it's not like neal's christian lyrics are 'blasphemy' against some sort of 'atheist god' or something. why get so defensive?
Neals lyrics are awesome.
With the passing of Larry Norman, Neal Morse is now the quintesential Christian rock musician/statesman of our time.
Epic Singer/Songwriter+ World Class Drummer+ Gospel Music= God will be headbanging to this ;)
I love Neal's music. He is literally a genius with a lot of creativity
All the album is a masterpiece !
Wow! I stopped listening to metal/prog cause of alot of dark lyrics. So thankful to have come across this gift!
If I had one song to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be this one. Amazing.
ya know.... people can talk all they want about neal's lyrics. His music is undeniably epic and well written.
Neal Morse should tour with other Christian bands like Mercy Me and Casting Crowns and whatnot. Give something for all us prog-fan Christians.

One of the first joints I have listened to. I may have to cop this joint.
Great song and great album. Saw him twice the whole band is tight and had a blast of a time.
holy crap... this dude is off the chain.
Yes, it's true. Christian music can sound good.

And then after all, with our backs against the wall
We seek the temple of the living God.
And outside the gate the cripples sit and wait
To see the temple of the living God
To see the temple of the living God
Suffer, trespass, stranger redeemed
Leviticus 21:18
The blind, the lame, the flat nosed,
superfluous
Broken footed on burning sand
The Priest, the seed, the blood stained hand
The leper testifies and turns to dust
And then after all, with our backs against the wall
We seek the temple of the living God
And outside the gate the cripples sit and wait
To see the temple of the living God
To see the temple of the living God
Oblation, vows, the promise of faith
Atonement, the wine, oil and cakes
The sheep, the goats, acceptable in his eyes
The maimed, the blemished, the scurvy scabbed
The creeping things, the firstborn lamb
Avail his presence in the house of sacrifice
And then after all, with our backs against the wall
We seek the temple of the living God
And outside the gate the cripples sit and wait
To see the temple of the living God
To see the temple of the living God
@ninjastep87 I agree completely! He is still going strong today!

@lastdaysguitar yes after all, why should the devil have all the good music?

@eileensongs agreed!
is this the actual song? it sounds like someone spliced some between the buried and me in the middle of this guys song.
0:15
Did you even read what you wrote? That is militant.
HAX!
How can you end vid in such great moment! Dislike!
You obviously don't know what a fact is.
the concept of the album is ridicule (not to say stupid) but the music is excellent.
