BAND NAME: Grave Declaration
GENRE: Symphonic Unblack Metal
STATUS: Unknown
LOCATION: Norway (Møre og Romsdal)
Formed in September, 2006 as a one-man project by Thor Buer.
From Myspace and Facebook:
This band started out as a one-man-band-project where I wanted to make worship songs in the metal genre. Through the years I have hardly ever found a church that played music I felt comfortable with, so I figured I would try to write some myself. I believe that when the church uses music as a tool for worshiping God, it's a much more powerful tool when you can associate to the music. When it comes to the lyrics, I've gone in some of the same direction as David does with the psalms in the bible. In a lot of the psalms, he describes his circumstances, how bad everything is, how he feels like he's dying, or people want him killed, but through it all, God is still worthy of praise, and in God, he finds hope and comfort. - Thor

1) Your Beauty Embraced
7:45, lyrics:
Under the sun, yet far from the light, is found a good place to soar
You by my side, to keep me alive, I totally trust in You
Dark, you're so dark, is it You that I see? Did You hide this beauty from me?
All light, You absorb, reflection unshared. Your eyes are like bottomless pits.
And now, You bow, You salute me, my King
I'll fall, I must fall, may I die as You live
Bring me out there; Your secrets I crave, my Saviour's concealment place
Take me to dive in the dark water's deep, through the clouds of the tears that You weep
My God
Grant me this favor
Take Me
Into the sacred
Let me explore Thee - You are faithful
As the greatest mystery - You are eternal
Though I may never fully - You are holy
Understand your ways - You're crowned king for all times
Lift up His name
Lift it high above the skies
'Cos worthy is He
Who suffered death to bring an aperture
Oh, open my eyes, so I see who You truly are
May you be my passion, my biggest of all desires
I long for You now, still I long to be longing more
Let all of my days draw me closer to You my Lord
Lift up His Name
Lift it high above the skies
'Cos worthy is He
Who suffered death to bring an aperture
In revelation-scene
I see dark clouds introducing
Our God thunders with burning coals and hail
His might is reaching far above all else
There's but One who's worthy the throne
He rules upon just, veracious is He (hear this:)
My God will prevail
To serve You is a blessing, to know You is a gift
Successor of God
Arise with me to proclaim
That Jesus Christ is King
His Name be glorified forever
There's but One who's worth the throne
He rules upon just, veracious is He (hear this:)
My God will prevail
To serve You is a blessing, to know You is a gift
Your great majesty
Puts me in a place of awe
And I fall, fall down to my knees
All glory and honor goes to You, my King
There's but One who's worth the throne
He rules upon just, veracious is He (hear this:)
My God will prevail
To serve You is a blessing, to know You is a gift
Enter my eyes
I pleasure you filling my screen
Beautiful light
Reveal to me more of the unseen
Creator of art
Teach me to dance while we paint the horizon
In colors unknown
Your works are outstanding
They all bring back honor to your throne
2) To My Redeemer
5:11, lyrics:
Suppose You're the one who believes
I see it as You are the One
My cry reaches for Your attention
Injustice needs to be undone
I will claim
Forgiveness to be mine
And overcome
By Your timeless, forever valid promises
You've been flying far
Bringing secrets to forgotten times
Endlessly far
Like a distance unmeasurable
I will claim...
For just as high
As the heavens are above the earth
that's how enormous
Your mercy is shown to those who fear You
The restless story, has yet been untold
Sing with me, share the unknown
Flames rise next to my soul
And burn, they scar me with passion
Fly, I escape from the hell
From the sweet drowning, in the hot sea deep
Worthy are You who was nailed to a tree
With the understanding of who own revenge
As You left behind all fury and hate
To become the atonement for all of our sins
All of man arise
Hail our Saviour Christ
Destined for such a gruesome death
For our souls to find peace
Your grace
And your love so strong
Turn me to "wondering unsolved"
I give up on understanding your ways
As I fall in your love
3) Lamentation
5:59, lyrics:
Unveil my secrets
Hide my shame
Where are you, Lord
When I stab myself
When I mute all the action inside?
I am one with the empty eyes
Staring at nothing, I found peace
Though it's false, it's a fake one
Compared to the peace that you give
Listen to me,
God in heaven, I'm broken
I've reached to the end
Of my limits, I can't take this
Hardship no more
I have come to the point
Where I'd cry in despair
But my tears, they were stolen by fear
I've been robbed, I'm unable
To show You the grief
That is in me
Every scar has an elegy yet unperformed
The endless story
I cry to myself
Give Him the glory
He who gave up Himself
Far, so far, in the distance
I see Your throne, encircled by thrones
Bringing the lightning out, and the thunder behind
Speak of how You are worthy of this seat
I can hear him whisper to me
His voice is soft like the seas
And He brings me peace and rest
Oh, Jesus, exalted be Your name
The Name that's high above all other names
The Name that holds the keys to salvation
Your blood sacrificed set us free
And forever and ever your Name is to receive
All glory, all power, all honor, all blessings and wisdom
If we do not worship the King
All the stones and trees will sing praises to Him
Oh, Saviour of mine
My heart has a desperate urge to cry:
My God, my God, in fear I will bow
At Your throne where I know there's mercy to be found
Tears are fragile, and rare at these times
But this one that came out, I'll give to you
To say that I am Yours
Even in days of sorrow
4) The Great Exaltation of the Most Sovereign God
6:21, lyrics:
Rejected by what's safe
My God, you're all that's left to be trust, You don't change
You were, You are, You will be the safest refuge found
I'm covered, beneath your wings
Oh, take me high, free me from all the dangers of mine
I am trapped within lies
Save me this time
All my hope is in You, oh, Faithful One
My Soul; arise, circumstances aside
Bless His Holy Name and remember His doings
Our God is rich in mercy
Our God is slow to wrath
Praise and honor is Yours to receive
Along with glory and power, exalted You be
"Wisdom and might be unto the throne"
We cry, as we bow our knees for the King of all kings
May Your kingdom come
May Your kingdom come!!!
"And I saw, and I hear a voice of many angels around the throne
Saying with a loud voice:
"The Lamb that was slaughtered is worthy to receive
The Power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing""
My soul; arise, circumstances aside, bless his holy name, and remember His doings
Praise and honor is Your to receive, along with glory and power, exalted You be
(Rev. 5:11-12)

1) Change of Heart
5:39, lyrics:
Great and Almighty, great King of all Kings
Your glory goes higher than all that has wings
It’s true what they say, that Your love lasts forever
I bow down in fear at the thought of Your might
Strength be found
in my weakness ‘cos Your spirit lives within me
Honor to You in the seat of perfection
I ask that You mold me to be alike You
Refine me, redefine me, start in me a change of heart,
re-spine me, sanctify me,
make me your sweet piece of art
Hold me closer,
let me feel the warmth of Your arms
My despise for
all that keeps me from you is on fire
Entering light, (I) find reconstruction to be an
unpleasant high. Your wings still shield me, gold
must be burnt to lose what keeps it from shining
Praise be to You for Your love and compassion
That You take what’s nothing and lift it up high
Your skills of restoring are somewhat insane
How You fix what is broken, to You be the fame
Strength be found. in my weakness ‘cos
Your spirit lives within me
Honor to You in the seat of perfection
I ask that You mold me to be alike You
Refine me, redefine me, start in me a change of heart,
re-spine me, sanctify me,
make me your sweet piece of art
2) Come, Let Us Speak
4:39, lyrics:
Come let us speak of all the Great deeds our God did and left us memories.
True is the Word, all good things comes from above.
How He is good, how He is great, how His love finds a way to my darkest place.
Faithful is He that guides me,
Unworthy of His...
Mind blowing grace I've been given to face You,
I treasure the look on Your face as you see me,
I'm running towards You, where I know I'm safe.
Surely there's nothing that can compare to Your
Loving embrace, oh my God, come consume me
With Your perfect love
Glory, glory onto the throne
You alone God, rule on Your Own
None can take Your place in the high
I put my trust in You El-Shaddai
Heavy all around me I sense Your glory.
What a pleasure to be near, I lost the sense of my insanity.
Holding my breath, as You breathe into me
It's as intimate as can be. Precious Saviour
You're the One that sets me free.
I have been bound, been pushed around bound and
Gagged by a force from under ground.
Still there is no force strong than Jesus Christ.
Rescued and put back on my feet,
Set me straight for the path He laid for me.
Faithful is He that guides me,
Unworthy of His love.
Glory, glory onto the throne
You alone God, rule on Your Own
None can take Your place in the high
I put my trust in You El-Shaddai
3) Fall Down
6:50, lyrics:
I am cold, I am snow, I am all dead
Spirit autopilot has taken over instead
Needless bleeding consoles my soul,
Makes me think I am alive
Truth be told, the frost goes deep through
My skin flesh and blood.
Shake me Lord, bring Your fire, defrost my heart,
And in fear of what I have become, I see no choice
But to storm Your gates, find Your throne and
Fall down, bow down, to the ground, fall down.
Silent falling in submission while understanding
I was given my free will to be able to serve
The King of all kings
Down cast soul of mine, rise and move to the
Sound of our God restoring the broken pieces
Inside, mercy comes, mercy stays,
He won't let mercy fade away.
And along with the angels I will scream
Out of passion, may You be glorified, we...
Fall down, bow down, to the ground, fall down.
Break off the lies that tear apart
My mind and root me in truth
My god, I am all dependent on you.
Needless bleeding consoles my soul,
Makes me think I am alive
Truth be told, the frost goes deep through
My skin, flesh, and blood.
Down cast soul of mine, rise and move to the
Sound of our God restoring the broken pieces
Inside, mercy comes, mercy stays,
He won't let mercy fade away.
And along with the angels I will scream
Out of passion, may You be glorified, we...
Fall down, bow down, to the ground, fall down.
4) Ærefrykt
5:20, lyrics:
Veldig så veldig, mitt hjerte roper hellig
Ja hellig er du allmektig gud.
Min sjel så beæret av å kjenne deg min herre
Kan el hindren den I å roper ut
Pris han navn
Hev røsten og syng din takkesang
Alene er han vår frelser og konge,
Vår redningsmann
Ære til deg som besitter den høyeste trone
Min Gud, se ærefrykt har inntatt mitt vesen som
Følge av din storhet
Skjønt og vakkert er det gamle vikingland
Som brer seg ut med fjord og fjell og de mørkeste skoger.
Å herre, hvor fantastisk det er, ditt skaperverk.
La Jordens indre rope ut at du er herre,
Kom vær oss nær.
Der fjell stiger opp av vann gjennom skyene høyt,
Der rommes mitt sinn av en gudsfrykt noe så hinsides drøyt.
For fjellet. Det vitner om hvordan du er så stor.
Mens du ser til oss folk. Som er så små.
Her nede på denner jord.
Pris han navn
Hev røsten og syng din takkesang
Alene er han vår frelser og konge,
Vår redningsmann
Veldig så veldig, mitt hjerte roper hellig
Ja hellig er du allmektig gud.
Min sjel så beæret av å kjenne deg min herre
Kan el hindren den I å roper ut
Ære til deg som besitter den høyeste trone
Min Gud, se ærefrykt har inntatt mitt vesen som
Følge av din storhet
5) Reach for the Sky
6:16, lyrics:
Blinded, so blind to your love for mankind
The masses bring shame to Your name
And who am I, to tell them it's a lie
To stand up and reach for the sky
You are our only hope, You are our source, of which all
Good things spring fourth. You are the One,
Who can fill our hearts void,
And keep us from dying destroyed
Praises of Your greatness I scream from my heart
Holy is Your name and forever You reign
Mercy, oh mercy, Lord pour out Your mercy on me,
'Cos I'm weak in myself. Oh, wisdom come teach me,
Oh grace come and bear me, come strengthen
The core of my soul
You are our hope, You are our source, of which all
Good things spring forth. You are the One, who
can fill our hearts void, and keep us from
Dying destroyed
Bright - Your glory so heavy You glow
Shining - Your face is like 10,000 suns
I tremble and fear - bow down at Your feet where
You whisper to me how, You really care, and the day
Of redemption, salvation and vengeance is near
You are our hope.
You are our source, of which all good things spring forth.
You are the One, who can fill our hearts void, and keep us from dying
Destroyed
6) Legacy
4:51, lyrics:
Darkness, my eyes were all black
Convinced that all they saw was death,
Destruction and painful memories
Brothers, I've seen through the blindfold
That we are not slaves, free from the blades,
Sons with a heritage of a God engaged.
Call to arms, let's go reclaim our legacy
It's been our all this time
And we'll find what we once thought we
Lost for good is entitled as ours
Spirit in me lift your face
Go find your place, to break out in praise,
Exalt the one who offers eternal grace.
My God, come scar my soul, with the truth of what
I as your son behold, through the blood of which
Your body was denied, while crucified, I remain in
Awe of how when we failed, this was your plan for
Restoration all along.
Call to arms, let's go reclaim our legacy
It's been our all this time
And we'll find what we once thought we
Lost for good is entitled as ours
7) Silence
6:36, lyrics:
Repetition, words upon words
Seems our praise is nothing but spam
Where's the honest cry of a yearning heart?
Where's the passionate scream to honor our God?
Fed up with the lack of original praise.
All the words I can think of comes from someone else.
And my own words are gone, still I long to be near you.
So I enter Your throne and I offer my
Worship of silence.
And in the end I guess I wonder
Which one of heart or lips give praise
Head bowed down and knees rooted to the ground
While my hands are lifted towards the throne of the Holy One.
I embraced this silent relation between man and God where
Heart reaches heart and we speak without words,
Where I forget all that is painful and hurts.
And I dwell in the house of the highest of Gods,
Where I'm always welcomes simply 'cos I am His son.

Needless bleeding consoles my soul,
Makes me think I am alive
Truth be told, the frost goes deep through
My skin flesh and blood.

And in fear of what I have become, I see no choice
But to storm Your gates, find Your throne and
Fall down, bow down, to the ground, fall down.

The King of all kings
Down cast soul of mine, rise and move to the

And along with the angels I will scream
Out of passion, may You be glorified, we...
Fall down, bow down, to the ground, fall down.
Break off the lies that tear apart
My mind and root me in truth
My god, I am all dependent on you.
Needless bleeding consoles my soul,
Makes me think I am alive
Truth be told, the frost goes deep through
My skin, flesh, and blood.

4) Ærefrykt
5:20, lyrics:
Veldig så veldig, mitt hjerte roper hellig
Ja hellig er du allmektig gud.
Min sjel så beæret av å kjenne deg min herre
Kan el hindren den I å roper ut
Pris han navn
Hev røsten og syng din takkesang
Alene er han vår frelser og konge,
Vår redningsmann
Ære til deg som besitter den høyeste trone
Min Gud, se ærefrykt har inntatt mitt vesen som
Følge av din storhet
Skjønt og vakkert er det gamle vikingland
Som brer seg ut med fjord og fjell og de mørkeste skoger.
Å herre, hvor fantastisk det er, ditt skaperverk.
La Jordens indre rope ut at du er herre,
Kom vær oss nær.
Der fjell stiger opp av vann gjennom skyene høyt,
Der rommes mitt sinn av en gudsfrykt noe så hinsides drøyt.
For fjellet. Det vitner om hvordan du er så stor.

Min Gud, se ærefrykt har inntatt mitt vesen som
Følge av din storhet
5) Reach for the Sky
6:16, lyrics:
Blinded, so blind to your love for mankind
The masses bring shame to Your name
And who am I, to tell them it's a lie
To stand up and reach for the sky
You are our only hope, You are our source, of which all
Good things spring fourth. You are the One,
Who can fill our hearts void,
And keep us from dying destroyed
Praises of Your greatness I scream from my heart
Holy is Your name and forever You reign
Mercy, oh mercy, Lord pour out Your mercy on me,
'Cos I'm weak in myself. Oh, wisdom come teach me,
Oh grace come and bear me, come strengthen
The core of my soul
You are our hope, You are our source, of which all
Good things spring forth. You are the One, who
can fill our hearts void, and keep us from
Dying destroyed
Bright - Your glory so heavy You glow
Shining - Your face is like 10,000 suns
I tremble and fear - bow down at Your feet where
You whisper to me how, You really care, and the day
Of redemption, salvation and vengeance is near
You are our hope.
You are our source, of which all good things spring forth.
You are the One, who can fill our hearts void, and keep us from dying
Destroyed
6) Legacy
4:51, lyrics:
Darkness, my eyes were all black
Convinced that all they saw was death,
Destruction and painful memories
Brothers, I've seen through the blindfold
That we are not slaves, free from the blades,
Sons with a heritage of a God engaged.
Call to arms, let's go reclaim our legacy
It's been our all this time
And we'll find what we once thought we
Lost for good is entitled as ours
Spirit in me lift your face
Go find your place, to break out in praise,
Exalt the one who offers eternal grace.
My God, come scar my soul, with the truth of what
I as your son behold, through the blood of which
Your body was denied, while crucified, I remain in
Awe of how when we failed, this was your plan for
Restoration all along.
Call to arms, let's go reclaim our legacy
It's been our all this time
And we'll find what we once thought we
Lost for good is entitled as ours
7) Silence
6:36, lyrics:
Repetition, words upon words
Seems our praise is nothing but spam
Where's the honest cry of a yearning heart?
Where's the passionate scream to honor our God?
Fed up with the lack of original praise.
All the words I can think of comes from someone else.
And my own words are gone, still I long to be near you.
So I enter Your throne and I offer my
Worship of silence.
And in the end I guess I wonder
Which one of heart or lips give praise
Head bowed down and knees rooted to the ground
While my hands are lifted towards the throne of the Holy One.
I embraced this silent relation between man and God where
Heart reaches heart and we speak without words,
Where I forget all that is painful and hurts.
And I dwell in the house of the highest of Gods,
Where I'm always welcomes simply 'cos I am His son.

9) Hardest Rocking God of All Time
4:21, lyrics:
When a season is changing
And my spirit is weak
Sometimes faith seems like fiction,
'Cos my eye can only weep.
And my head is buried
In my hands so deep
Then I force myself to remember
How great my God is.
He is one to stay close to
All of those that mourn
And the sorrowful of heart
He shows compassion for
When my spirit is dying
He's the light at the end
Saying I will restore you
And heal you once again
Blessing to the throne of compassion and mercy and hope.
Our heart scream of your faithfulness everlasting.
For we are ones whose voices were hushed.
Yet we line up with the angels in order to
Forever sing praise to Your Name.
He is the One that turns the storm to quest sea.
He's the One who feeds thousands some bread and tiny fish.
He's so strong and so might and His Spirit lives in me.
We are on, we are unified, so His strength recharges me.
Whatever my needs are, He has thought of them first.
And He guides my every step to lands where I will never thirst.
And wherever I'm heading, I can feel his presence near, 'cos
He promised me long time ago, "I will never leave, I swear."
Jesus, Your love for mankind blows my mind.
'Cos my eye can only weep.
And my head is buried
In my hands so deep
Then I force myself to remember
How great my God is.
He is one to stay close to
All of those that mourn
And the sorrowful of heart
He shows compassion for
When my spirit is dying
He's the light at the end
Saying I will restore you
And heal you once again
Blessing to the throne of compassion and mercy and hope.
Our heart scream of your faithfulness everlasting.
For we are ones whose voices were hushed.
Yet we line up with the angels in order to
Forever sing praise to Your Name.
He is the One that turns the storm to quest sea.
He's the One who feeds thousands some bread and tiny fish.
He's so strong and so might and His Spirit lives in me.
We are on, we are unified, so His strength recharges me.
Whatever my needs are, He has thought of them first.
And He guides my every step to lands where I will never thirst.
And wherever I'm heading, I can feel his presence near, 'cos
He promised me long time ago, "I will never leave, I swear."
Jesus, Your love for mankind blows my mind.
Oh, Saviour, in my own words
I'll say you're the hardest
Rocking God of all time.
10) In the Throne Room
6:27, lyrics:
We come in through the gates
And await the arrival of the King.
And though I'm afraid, there is something
That tells me there is nothing here to fear.
Doors fly open and light comes in
Now I wait to see if that's Him
Jesus Christ, Mr. King of Kings
I'm here to offer Thanksgiving
(Nails, hands, blood ran, sins gone, white as snow)
With the number of days
I've been given I will praise
Your Name and Scream it loud
Everyone will hear shout
About a mercy so true
And how life is at hand if we
Only turn to you
Heart and soul
Of mine you behold
And forever we'll be
Reunited the way we were
Meant to live
11) Interlude
00:46, instrumental
12) Jeg er frelst, å for en nåde
4:16, lyrics:
Jeg er frelst, å for en nåde!
Nåde over nåde.
Jeg er frelst, Å hvilken gåte!
Nåde over nåde.
Tenk all min synd har Jesus sonet!
Til sin brud har han meg kronet.
Jeg er frelst, å for en nåde!
Nåde over nåde.
Dag for dag han meg bevarer.
Nåde over nåde.
Frelser meg fra syndens farer.
Nåde over nåde.
Og om jeg synder, han forlater.
Dag for dag han meg bevarer.
Nåde over nåde.
Gud skje lov, snart er jeg hjemme!
Nåde over nåde.
Lammets sang jeg skal istemme.
Nåde over nåde.
Takk, Jesus. Takk for nådens under.
Takk for fred i sår og vunder!
Gud skje love, snart er jeg hjemme.
Nåde over nåde.
I'll say you're the hardest
Rocking God of all time.
