The case of George Dedlow
Double amputee, one of 500,000
Civil War casualties
Suffered a phenomenon so bizarre
Even the doctors looked on from afar
How can you feel a leg that isn’t even there?
From cold to burning heat
To pain beyond compare
Clinically known as phantomb limb
So hard to treat, prognosis dim
Brachial plexus avulsion
They told you cycles were dangerous
Nerves ripped from the spinal cord
You certainly need the Lord
But just like the feeling in your arm that is gone
You’ve severed communication with Him all along
Even though you know it’s totally wrong
Spiritual death kicks off its swan song
Don’t throw away the years He gives you
By hardening your heart within you
And if you cut off both your own legs
And you have sworn just to ignore Him
The phantom limb will start to haunt you
He wants to bring you back, revive you
Narnia is good, as is Extol. Golden Resurrection is quite good (Check out their song Proud to Wear the Holy Cross), Saint, early Whitecross (they kind of sounded like Ratt), Veni Domine, King James. There are so many to name.
Other bands to check out are early Living Sacrifice (1994 Inhabit), Sacrament (1992 Haunts of Violence). If you like death metal, check out early Mortification (1992 Scrolls of the Megilloth, great death metal with grindcore mixed in), Paramaecium (1994 Exhumed of the Earth, doom death). Vengeance Rising was good, they put out 4 albums in the late 80s early 90s; unfortunately, the original lead vocalist turned from Christianity. You might check out Once Dead, too. Basically VR w/new vocalist.
