After a few years of silence, XIII Minutes is back — reforged as their strongest, hardest-hitting iteration yet. The hard rock band made a name for themselves with their album Obsessed, released in 2019 via Rottweiler Records. The album spawned the track “Who Told You,” which topped Christian rock charts. But life seasons changed, and the band went dark.
Until now.
XIII Minutes’ new single Cultleader is released late last month (June 23). Now there is also a lyric video, watch it below.
It’s nice to have the first new music release in FIVE YEARS. We hope you’ve been enjoying as well. Says the band.
Lyrics:
It’s just another day
Those words, I no longer follow
I don’t think I will stay
When will he come to take us all?
Lining us up to take the fall
Draw you in with the devil’s eyes
Leaving no room for compromise
Cult Leader, Cult Leader (Cult Leader)
Cult Leader, Cult Leader
Vic-tim to sins of the father
Handed Down (Cult Leader)
Su-ffer? Why Should I Bother?
When there’s no way out…. (Cult Leader)
Watch as the blind lead the blind
If you disown me then I’ll respond in kind
Vic-tim, like so many others
Who will save me now?
Tempting, the message so jaded
A tangled web we weave
Try to recall, but the memory faded
And I can never leave
When will they come to take us all?
Lining us up to take the fall
Drawing you in with the devil’s eyes
Leaving no room for compromise
Cult Leader, Cult Leader (Cult Leader)
Cult Leader, Cult Leader
Vic-tim to sins of the father
Handed Down (Cult Leader)
Su-ffer? Why Should I Bother?
When there’s no way out…. (Cult Leader)
Watch as the blind lead the blind
If you disown me then I’ll respond in kind
Vic-tim, like so many others
Who will save me?
Cult Leader X 4
Cult Leader X 4
Cult Leader X 2
(Hey – underneath X 7 )
Cult Leader X 2
(Hey X 7 – underneath)
Vic-tim to sins of the father – Handed down
Su-ffer? Why Should I Bother?
When there’s no way out…. (Cult Leader)
Watch as the blind lead the blind
If you disown me then I’ll respond in kind
Vic-tim, like so many others
Who will save me?
Cult Leader X 2
(Hey – underneath)
Cult Leader X 2
(Hey – underneath)
XIII Minutes is
