New song up on their myspace:
"How Great Thou Art"
Oh Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
And when I think that God his Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on that cross my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God how great Thou art
(Then sings my soul)
HOW GREAT THOU ART!
MY GOD HOW GREAT THOU ART!
EDIT: Also, did anyone else notice the numerous references to C.S. Lewis' space trilogy? The songs mention "deep heaven" and "the silent planet" which are phrases used in in his books. Additionally the song "Artificial Mortality" covers the same overall theme, that of replacing biology with technology, as the third book in the trilogy "That Hideous Strength". Finally, the cover art is a depiction of "The Head" which plays a major role in "That Hideous Strength".

Eidolon, named night, on a black throne reigns upright.
