Metal Church - The Powers That Be Lyrics

It's more than understanding, to realize just what it means
Interpretations, different meanings, can be drawn out of anything
It all makes sense now, I see it clear
The picture comes together, and I have lost the fear

Your heart is the key
The powers that be
Are handed to me

There is no suit of armor to pretect you from the dark
Just let your guard down, and the sword will hit the mark
The words get twisted, you hear the lies
Just takes a look around you, and pray they realize

Your heart is the key
The powers that be
My sanctuary

It's not what you wear, it's what's in your mind
It's not worth the emptiness inside
I have left all blackness behind
No more questions about black and white

A gift of free will, the choice is all up to you
Just let your faith rule, and you will know what to do
The cults grow stronger, I'll stay away
I'm looking at tomorrow, now I know the way

Your heart is the key
The powers that be
Are handed to me

This song is absolute perfection. Masterpiece.

Love this SONG. Kick ass jam. This whole album kicks ass. A solid fuckin 10..saw this tour twice back in the day

VERY NICE AND STRONG BAND GREETINGS FROM CYPRUS

Great Band , Great Song , Great Album , Great , Great, Great....

Grandes!!

just read Mike Howe is alive and well!

undango and is back!!!!!!!! love mike and metal church

jenny death when?

Best song on the album and whole thing was great.

The entire "Blessing In Disguise" album is such an underrated album! I really love that album so much. Every song on it kicks MAJOR ass!

Agreed, sir!

this is right up there with Metallica's "Blackened" and "One", or Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Aces High".. powerful imagery and concepts...
The Powers That Be-EEEEE!

that's some fast downpicking right there 0.o brilliant!

the beeeeest

It was David Wayne (their original singer from 1981-1987) that died in a motorcycle wreck in 2005. Mike Howe (as far as I know) is living in Tennessee working in construction... and no offense and I'm pretty sure its sarcasm, but you can't be serious about bieber...your'e scaring me dude lol

sucks that the lead singer (i think its mike howe) died, just realized that.. I like this album but i think it is kinda mainstream, i also like justin bieber... i highly recommend "she don't like the lights" by justin biebs.. its a real head banger. Im being serious.

TRUE POWER METAL!

Fuck that little fag bieber. We need more bands like Metal Church on the radio. I need to start my own station and play metal 24/7. FUCK THE MAINSTREAM!!! I have been a huge MC fan since I discovered this album, and Mike Howe was from my home town of Taylor, MI. This music will never die. LONG LIVE THE ONE AND ONLY METAL CHURCH!!!

@Bastige56 his singing was not squeally or bad the recording of it was horrible.....hes right on key and timing and breathing ........the sounds over his voice over drown it this would be avoided today at all cost which is kind of sad because part of metals appeal was getting the words wrong then your friends correcting you

I can't believe that only 2944 people have seen this. This is one great song.

That it is, sir.

you can totally hear the upbeat influence of Iron Maiden.. a hidden gem in speed metal

A Classic Glorious Anthem of Heavy Metal

nice fucking riff at the start, good metal, but i don't really like the vocals
