Most 'Christian' song from a SECULAR metal or hard rock artist or band

Saturnus - A Father's Providence wrote:All the things I did wrong
I pray for a father to forgive
For this providence I long
Will I reach out forever?

Behold the golden tower
of our saviour's church
Reaching up unto the every grey
Our hope knows not death
Numb to i's bated breath

We may dream of a world
With no sins for ghosts to forgive
Yet in unwilling eyes
I crave to see God arise!

Behold the golden tower
of our saviour's church
Reaching up unto the ever grey
Our hope knows not death...

...Until it too draws a final breath
We must break and crack all bone
Trying to hold up
the continents he built
Man must bear the task alone
Bowed down beneath

Black Rider wrote:Don't know much but way back when they had a song called Christ Goodbye that was sketchy: Cathedrals, towers rising in my heart
A thunder roars deep and quiet.
Making love with the silent rain.
Christ flashes before my eyes
with empty face, he chants the world goodbye.
Christ goodbye... Christ goodbye...
The world has vanished before our eyes.
Horned with staff and cloak,
I approach the world's churchyard.
Grey skies transforming into deep black drops,
as the sun glance upon the holy ground.
The whore of life delicious irresistable,
blood red sheet full of lust.
Every man has a dragon heart upon his own dusty
shelf
(where) the thunder roars across the heavens.
The deepest chambers laugh -
Dragon king wake up, it's time to take this throne.
Cloven hoof scratch the floor
human find your devil door.
Christ goodbye... Christ goodbye...
I am god, the human eye.

– Our readers are interested in that old story concerning your gig in a church. Tell us about it in details, please.

– The church we were playing in is really like a Free Church where you are allowed to do much more things than in a common church. It is a Christian church – no doubt about that – and the priest there is maybe a little crazy but in a good way.

R.S.: – It is really an open minded church and they allow many happenings there. They try to open the church for new ways, maybe.

T.J.: – It was The Good Friday and the priest needs artists who “can bring death and destruction into the church to get the atmosphere of crucifixion of Christ”. So our friend says: “I know a perfect band with a lot of emotion, it is brutal, and you can call that death and destruction but in an emotional and beautiful way”. He invites us and we do something together. But then it was a controversy in Denmark because all the bishops there start to grudge: “we can not have a heavy metal band in a church singing “Christ, good bye”… We have to sign a paper where we have stated that we are not going to preach satanic word. We explained that ‘Christ, Good Bye’ is a song about the destruction of the world and they accepted it. But there were a demonstration and really zealous Christian believers tried to ban the show. It was a subject of much controversy on the fan-pages and in the news on television and in the newspapers. And maybe that’s why the attention for the show went that big.

"What was broken can never be fixed", says the band, "but that pain at the same time can lead to hope. Hope that will let the blood rush back in and let us run to new paths leading to our truth. Peace remains idle and depicted as some kind of utopian dream, taking you to a state of mind where eternity is the only choice and your last breath is the key to open the very first door of a new chapter to come.  Breathe New Life is a heavier and more solid musical statement, with driving verses and anthemic choruses embracing everyone’s souls and hearts. This was the first song to be written for The Storm Within and it should be seen that Saturnus is back and ready for more!"

Christian Thrash Rules wrote:Creeping Death, Leper Messiah, Holier Than Thou, Lux AEterna. I just named 4 amazing Metallica songs that are basically Christian and could list more that at least have a good message(MOP is an example). There's also, like, every Switchfoot song. They claim that they are not a Christian band but a band with Christians. And Shadow Of Deth by Megadeth is just a Psalm, word for word.

I dont really see a Christian message in Holier Than Thou. It's more about people who just "point fingers" at others.
