Unique themes/lyrics of Christian hard rock/metal....

That are some lyrics/themes in Christian hard rock and metal that aren't often written about? Two songs come to mind:

Saint: Island Prisoner - written about John's exile on the Island of Patmos and his visions.

Theocracy: Nailed - writen about Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation.

Are there any others?

I might be able to think of more later, but the one the immediately popped into my mind was Nietzsche's Madness by Living Sacrifice. The lyrics are a rebuttal of Nietzsche's infamous parable that were inspired after Bruce had been reading Ravi Zacharias.

Pantokrator - Where Lilith Found Her Peace (written about the scapegoat ritual on the Day of Atonement and tying it to the Book of Enoch and Christ)

The Slave Eye* - Black Stone Idol (proclamation of evil and falsehood against the gods of Arabia)

* - they have not announced themselves as a 'Christian' band but they include 2 members from Renascent, a well-known Christian melodic/symphonic black/death metal band.

A Nietzsche theme by a christian metal band? Too bad I can't stand the music that LS makes for more than 5 seconds (of vocals)...

Bride - Why Won't He Break - about persecution of Christians

Neon Cross - Buy My Record - shameless self-promotion by musical artists

Rez - Lincoln's Train - the Civil War

Novella - Do We Just Surrender - environmentalism...certainly unusual in Christian rock/metal

Stryper- Against The Law..a song against religion
Stryper-  Lady..a song about wives
Barren Cross- Terrorist Child...a song about the brainwashing and recruitment of children by terrorist

Deliverance-It's The Beat (defending rock music against "rock is evil" critics)

Metanoia - Never
Bashing Catholicism, calling it a false man made religion that worships Mary.

BioGenesis NEVER ...about overcoming memories of abuse...

BioGenesis..IN THE DARKNESS I DWELL...about awakening after years in an ocult.

Jacobs Dream...Beneath The Shadows...while album...a story about a drug dealers fall and redemption..

While album not while

Jacob's Dream-Scapegoat, about not blaming others
Michael Sweet-I'm not your suicide, about bullying

Sacred Warrior's new song Slave 
Song about children being used as sex slaves.

Skillet-Lucy. About a couple feeling regret after an abortion

Lust Control has a few ones like a song called The Big M, about Masturbation or Planned Parenthood..  very disturbed topics...

On my new blues album, I am doing a song about a little girl who was severely abused as a child.  I am doing another on rape.  There will also be a song lamenting having to stand in line at Walmart.  That's a broad range for a Christian album.

Child abuse, rape and waiting in line in Walmart do have some similarity though...

That's just wrong, Thomas.  Extremely funny, but wrong!  LOL

Thanks for clearing that up!

I have too many unique themes planned for my career to even list here... almost all 322 songs I've planned have pretty unique themes.

Dead End Drive by Holy Soldier, which is about drunk driving
