Favorite 10 Fit For A King Songs Of All Time

Fit For A King is a Christian metal band from Texas.  They are big on breakdowns, awesome vocals/lyrics and intentionality on living for Christ.  I had a chance to see them live in 2013 when they released their Creation/Destruction album.  I was blown away!  They are a band you must see live at least once.  Ryan Kirby’s growls/screams really compliment the clean vocals from their bass player, Ryan O’Leary (formerly held by Aaron Kadura).  They formed in 2007 and made 2 EP’s with a vocalist Mason Wilson.  I am only including songs with Ryan Kirby who took his spot in 2010.  The 3 albums produced with Ryan as the vocalist are phenomenal.  Here are my favorite 10 songs of Fit For A King with my favorite lyrics for each!  Enjoy!

10. The Architect, Descendants

Favorite Lyric

“I will rebuild this faith from the ground up, mark my words, I will rebuild.  Turn the clocks back (Am I the only one that changed?)  I know we've got it in ourselves to turn this around.  Turn the clocks back, return to the beginning and start again.”

9. Hollow Eyes, Descendants

Favorite Lyric

“I'm casting down my idols (cast this down).  I'm putting down everything.  I'm ready to be moved and set aside.  I'm ready to be moved, be moved aside.  I'm broken for You, seeking only You, only You.  And I’m broken for You, seeking only You, only You.  I will not be shaken!  I am cleansed from the inside out!”

8. Forever Unbroken, Slave To Nothing

Favorite Lyric

“I've got nothing to hide, and nothing to lose.  You can spit out your lies, while I give you the truth.  Mark my words, I won't back down!”

7. The Resistance, Creation/Destruction

Favorite Lyric

“I will make sure that you see my face in the crowd, locking in on my stare that will cut through your wretched ways.  You will never take us alive!”

6. Slave To Nothing, Slave To Nothing

Favorite Lyric

“Hell awaits the king of lies.  The perverse will fall, the beast will burn alive.  King of lies, I hope you rot!”

5. Descendants, Descendants

Favorite Lyric

“We are descendants of the Almighty.  The weak will fall and the strong will be set free.  We are descendants.”

4. Skin And Bones, Creation/Destruction

Favorite Lyric

“Is there life beyond the grave?  And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?  There must be a better way.  I know that one of these days I'll finally see You face to face at the golden gates.  Will You take me or will I fade into the grave?”

3. Warpath, Creation/Destruction

Favorite Lyric 

“My words may cut like daggers, but I wasn't put here to keep my thoughts inside.  I am the enemy!”

2. Ancient Waters, Descendants

Favorite Lyric

“I have come to destroy his work, to cleanse the Earth of his name.  Let my words pour down and consume this flame.”

1. Hollow King (The Sound Of The End), Creation/Destruction

This song is so heavy and the lyrics speak truth.  If you are your own king and reject Christ then judgment will come.  Choose Christ and find life!  Here are the lyrics to Hollow King (The Sound Of The End).

You've got blood on your hands
You've turned away and the guilt is flowing through your veins
Now they're left for dead and you can't replace the hole that you've made
Burned by deceit
Your hollow king will meet his end
Meet your end
Your king will meet his end

I will not wait for the flame to consume me
I won't let hate flow through these bones
I never thought that I would end up like this
Where I'd be meeting you in the end
Standing face to face and eye to eye
With the One who took everything

Silence has taken over me
My words are lost and I'm giving in

Faithless, this is the price that you pay
You're the king of your own destruction
Now you're caught in my web
Your God can't hear your cries, like He ever did
You ventured out to save the one you love
You should have known
This is the price that you pay

I never thought that I would end up like this
Where I'd be trapped inside this maze
Standing face to face and eye to eye
With the man who abandoned everything

Silence has taken over me
My words are lost and I'm giving in
Silence has taken over me
My words are lost and I'm giving in

This is the sound of the end
This is the sound of the end

Conclusion

These are my 10 favorite songs by Fit For A King.  I love this band!  So heavy and so genuine!  God bless!
