Phinehas - Iliaster (More Than Skin) Lyrics






Fate: What mere men define as the end
Fate: What I’ve seen as just the beginning
I am more than just a man
I walk in promise as an eternal soul
I am not afraid to die

I may bleed but my soul is well
I may fall but I will live to tell
If you should strike me down I return tenfold
I may be dressed in skin but it’s only a threshold

Oh, I was called the moment that you opened my eyes
To bring retribution to those who would steal your lives

I tip the scale of the world (I tip the scale of the world)
With the weight of all compassion on my back
I tip the scale of the world (I tip the scale of the world)
But it’s my burden to bear (burden to bear)
If you should strike me down, I return tenfold
I may be dressed in skin but it’s only a threshold

I may bleed but my soul is well
I may fall but I will live to tell
If you should strike me down I return tenfold
I may be dressed in skin but it’s only a threshold

I tip the scale of the world
I am more than just a man

I was called the moment that you opened my eyes
To bring retribution to those who would steal your lives

    Great beginning bro😎

  16. J.... B....

    hey btw you guys put more THEN skin not than just sayin

  17. j.... f....

    pretty much the only Christian band I can listen to I tend to avoid religious bands because I just can't relate to the message something I appreciate in my music, but damn these guys are so good

    j.... f....

    If you don't care for preachy lyrics, you might check out Silent Planet. They're really good friends with these guys; they're a Christian band and they talk about their faith but their lyrics tend to look at things more philosophically. Their first album (The Night God Slept) was a concept album talking about seven women throughout history who witnessed some of humanity's darkest moments (EG: Darkstrand [Hibakusha] is talking about Hiroshima/Nagasaki) yet overcame despair and found hope.

    Their second album that came out a few months ago (Everything Was Sound) picks up where The Night God Slept left off, which was with the description of a vision-like experience that the band's vocalist experienced. The whole of Everything Was Sound deals with mental illnesses and how people both misunderstand and mistreat those with mental illnesses in today's society, and begins, ends and meets at the center with songs talking about bipolar disorder (Inherit the Earth, REDIVIDEЯ, and Inhabit the Wound; Inherit the Earth and Inhabit the Wound are two parts of the same song, and REDIVIDEЯ is a symmetrical song and lyrical palindrome).

    They're not quite as heavy as Phinehas by any means, but where they lack the extra heaviness, they make up for it in hauntingly beautiful atmosphere, thought-provoking lyrics and the unique "shouted poetry" vocal style that their vocalist utilizes. They're one of the most unique, amazing Christian bands out there along with Phinehas. :)

    j.... f....

    might have to check them out thanks 👌

    j.... f....

    I bros check out Darkness divided and sleeping giant their awesome Christian band  just like Phinehas😎😜!

    +Deku Butler your son died

    D.... B....

    But his spirit still wandering around termina. His face and soul became one with the hero of time. He lives on... But yeah still technically dead. I weep every night for him

    D.... B....

    @Deku Butler Also the pig mask sucks 

    D.... B....

    +Joseph Nicolosi  Awesome lyrics and great explaining that God not dead. His spirit live forevermore like we will one day in heaven 😎!

  21. A.... W....

    This song is about obi-wan kinobi

  22. w.... ....

    same with the last breakdown

  23. w.... ....

    breakdown at 1:16 sounds like this martyr defiled song

  24. R.... Z....

    Why everyone is mentioning every part of the song but ignoring one of the best breakdown entries of all times? That little stop at 1:16 makes me feel a sweet heart attack. Holy fucking crazy breakdown start \m/

    R.... Z....

    René TR One of the hardest hitting breakdowns no doubt!

  25. D.... B....

    the beginning reminds me of Destroy The Runner

    D.... B....

    meets Colony-era In Flames

    D.... B....

    +Deku Butler I definitely agree.

    D.... B....

    +xXHilliamXx I fuckin miss DTR so much

    D.... B....

    +Deku Butler I miss them so much.

    I got a little bit of Destroy the Runner and old The Showdown.

    D.... B....

    @MrDeathSmiles​ I still listen to The Showdown's first album all the time. Now that you mentioned them I'll probably listen to it again today

  26. i.... .....

    god damn that is a beautiful solo

  27. D.... ....

    "More THEN skin"?! What the actual fuck. You can't even fucking spell..

    The song is dope though!

    D.... ....

    than is correct. Than and then are used in different ways. More "then" skin vs More than skin. Just go over it.

    D.... ....

    Damn. I didn't notice till i saw this

  28. s.... ....

    I am the lion ! Wait , what ?


  29. E.... Y....

    Probably my favorite song from this album, dat breakdown at 2:42 made me want to throw down in the middle of the bus when I first heard it XD
