Artist of the Week


Artist – House of Heroes
Album – The End is Not the End
Song – In the Valley of the Dying Sun


House of Heroes has been around for about a decade, but they haven’t had the exposure as they do now. They signed with Gotee Records this year and Toby Mac has helped them get out there. These guys have talent, in fact their recording is them playing, no digital processing, no mess with this or raise this level a bit, it is their sound.

Another thing about House of Heroes is that their sound is good. They have a message in their lyrics, but they also have a sound that attracts people who may not enjoy their message.

I give House of Heroes 5 out of 5 dundies for Musical Talent. I also give them 4 out of 5 dundies for Lyrical Content.

If you will click on Artist of the Week you will find the video of this song. It is a very interesting song that has a great message of maturing in our walk with God.

Enjoy!

In the valley of the dying sun
I walk a crooked path alone
I came across the shadow of a man
With an angel's breath
'O boy' he said to me
'I see your future'
'Though you long for peace
The sword is your father

I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you when I kill a good man
To keep myself from being killed by him
I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you when I hold my girl
And wonder if she'll ever love again
I'm thinking of you
Wash the blood off my hands

Bathed in the powder of a thousand guns
I am the king of sorrows
Watered by the tears of the innocent ones
The river grows
It moves
It swells

'Son' It calls to me
'Your days are numbered
Sow the seeds you will
But I am the reaper'

'I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you when you kill a good man
To keep yourself from being killed by him
I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you when you hold your girl
And wonder if she'll ever love again
I'm thinking of you
Wash the blood off your hands'

I howled at the moon like a wolf in the night
You want to finish it
We're gonna finish it right

And then I felt it with a chill up my spine
There are no words to use that truly describe
The glory of the angel or the terror in me
Tonight will be my ending or tonight my new beginning

All through the night
I wrestled the angel
To undo the curse
That's burdened me all of my life

And for the first time I could see
That God was not my enemy

"I'm thinking of you"

Like pieces of the sun
Our light burns on and on and on
Like stars in the night sky we shine
I'm living to shine on
