Lyrics: ‘Harbinger Of Demise’
Verse1:
Going before
Pride a compass pointing to yourself
Souls galore
For them, No you’ve never really felt
What’s for me
All you’ve asked, it seems you’re asking now
What will give
I see the signs I think it’s winding down
Verse 2:
Harbinger
Prelude sings a day of reckoning
Messenger
A call inside for your abandoning
Heed the cry
The cliff is now just barely up ahead
Kill the pride
The barren road that only leads to death
Chorus
I can see the night
Painting in your eyes
The harbinger of demise
I know you see the sign
Harbinger of demise
Verse 3:
Listening
I hope you hear now what is being said
Heart of stone
Chisel out or you will wind up dead
Father’s heart
Beats the rhythm of His grace and love
Calling you
To forsake yourself and look above
Chorus
I can see the night
Painting in your eyes
The harbinger of demise
I know you see the sign
Harbinger of demise
Chorus
I can see the night
Painting in your eyes
The harbinger of demise
I know you see the sign
You’re running for your life
(There’s nothing left to say)
And running out of time
(There’s nowhere you can run to)
Harbinger of demise
Harbinger of demise
Video for ‘Harbinger of Demise’
Motivik‘s debut album “Death of the Gunman” has been released Dec. 4th. 2020 via Roxx Records.
Our review from “Death of the Gunman” can be found here.
How do you say Motivik? (MOE-TEE-VICK) what does Motivik mean? Motivik is derived from the word Motive. And what is the Motive of Motivik? To rock you hard with a message of hope and encouragement for a lost generation.
Motivik features Ryan Roebuck handling the music and vocals and Courtney Simmons on vocals. That’s right dual vocalists, modeled in a way much like Gary Lenaire and Guy Ritter from Tourniquet except they pretty evenly share the vocal duties. If you ask Motivik what there sound is like or what their style is they would say they are ‘Melodic Groove Thrash’. A little more on the thrashy side if you ask us, especially when you listen to the bands cover song from Sacrament ‘Souls in Torment’ featuring a guest appearance from Sacrament’s very own Robert Wolfe. Check out a sample of the track here.
