Dr. D is known for being strange and reclusive. Claimed in an interview to have the name Bill Clinton. Refused to be contacted personally, aside from a handful of interviews he gave, although none of those interviews apparently centered around Bealiah: "Bealiah has never been available for interviews and never will. That's my very personal band and no need to be shared by other way except the music itself." [1]

Written on the project's old website:
tomorrow will see another fortunate souls
 give their names to not to be forsaken
blood of yesterday taken for today
 spirits enlightened as the fire burn

Discography:


Bealiah / Self-Titled (demo, 1996, THT Productions)
Format: Cassette

The songs are the same on Side A and Side B.

Not currently sure why there are 2 color variants.

The song "Worship the Adonai" was called "Worship the Immortal Persons" on future releases.

Some sites say this was released in 1995, but it was actually released in 1996. ("1996 demo") [1]
Also, the demo itself is called "Bealiah", not "demo 1996" or anything like that. [2]

1) Worship the Adonai
4:07, lyrics:
Adonai, I adore Thee
Adonai, I worship Thee
Adonai rules forever in endless time
Author of life, I praise Thee
The sovereign power of Immortal Persons
Command us all to walk His path
Chants are heard from deep inside
Glory and honor for the Holy Adonai
We were once children of wrath
Apostasy, living life against God
Now we're all reconciled
Justified by the blood sacrifice
The death of Christ makes us alive
Knowing that one day we shall join immortality
Nothing more to say, nothing more to do...
But praise and worship Thee forever

(The spoken Apostle's Creed)

2) Sapientium Crusis
5:50, lyrics:
Discovering the ancient books of wisdom
Scriptural scrolls; the written promises and truth
Guidelines to the New Testament
Those which awaken the spirits of our ancestors
Witnesses of faith, hope, and love...
Responding the calling, new self sanctified
A prophesy of the upcoming Savior is now completed
Divine Word incarnated in the Holy flesh
The blood spilled on the cross has purify my soul
A path to immortal life is right before us
Calling us to be a part of The Kingdom
Where evilness shall not reach His side
Sapientium Crusis makes us awake
Teach us the knowledge of The Holy Adonai
Sapientium Crusis makes us aware
Rising within us and we shall make a stand for the Son


3) Kairos
6:15, lyrics:
The moment within a chronological line
Becomes the historical part of one's life
When someone receives The Son in the faith
Believes in the death and resurrection of The Incarnate
Once, the humanity had fallen into the opposite state
Apart from the The Creator and became the friend of darkness
But now the fact is turning, there is the hope indeed
To escape the evilness that had captured us all
Let you possess a Kairos in your life...
A Kairos that shall change the future of your soul
There was no forgiveness without bloodshed
But there was bloodshed of Divine Flesh
Forgiveness is here, Make the Kairos
You shall be remembered all the time
You shall become a part of The Immortal Kingdom
Driven by The Spirit far above the northern sky


4) A Homage to the Father of the Undead
3:21, lyrics:
A prophecy to be remembered from the valley of dry bones
Ezekiel did see the fragmental skeletons around
He knew there were rotting human flesh down there
Dried by time of putrefaction until remained skeletal
Morbid sight had been in him
Seeing was that the last state of man?
Then he heard the voice from the mouth of Adonai:
"Son of man, can these bones live?"
Ezekiel said to Adonai: "...Thou knowest!!"
These bones would hear The Word..
...that cometh from the mouth of Adonai
Ezekiel began to prophesy as he was commanded
Then those remains began to come together
A miraculous recomposition of the bodies
Reversing the natural process of putrefaction
To became the human bodies once again
He continued to prophesy as he was commanded
Then breath of life came into them and make them alive
"Behold, I will open your graves, and raise you from your graves.
You shall know that I am THE LORD..."
Those prophecies have given us hope and understanding
That we shall arise from the dead and live again
Father of the undead will exhume our graves
This is a promise of immortal life given by Adonai
Ancient Trinity, You are the Cause of Life
All nations shall pay homage to You!!

INFO:
1) Why are the track lengths for the bonus songs (on both "Weeping ..." AND "Dark") different from the ones on the original releases? Are they shortened? Are they different recordings of the songs, perhaps? 2) Missing lyrics? 3) I only have a note that "Worship..." contains the Apostles' Creed. I don't have the actual lyrics for that part of the song -- which language/translation is used? Are any words in the creed changed in the song? I tried playing with the audio in Audacity but I can't make out any words. 4) Track length for "Dark Rock N Roll"? 5) Which tracks are on which side of the "Dark" cassette? 6) Why are there different colors for the first demo artwork?

Almost everything here could use a higher-res, higher-quality version if you have it!
