ROCK MUSIC The Devil's Advocate |
According to the book The Emerging Generation, the average
teenager consumes 6 hours a day of rock music! It is their most
devoted companion. It's their teacher, preacher, and guiding light! It
dictates every detail of their life — from what they wear . . . to what
they believe! Dr. Alan Bloom, (The Closing of the American Mind,
p.68) writes, "It is their passion; nothing else excites them as
it does; they cannot take seriously anything alien to music."
Rock music is more than just music — IT'S THEIR LIFE!
I want to take you on a tour through today's rock music. And
if think rock is still — "I Want to Hold Your Hand" — you're
in for the shock of your life!
Homosexual rock star, David Bowie in Rolling Stone magazine
(Feb. 12, 1976), stunned the music world, when he stated, "Rock
has always been THE DEVIL'S MUSIC . . . I believe rock and roll
is dangerous . . . I feel we're only heralding SOMETHING EVEN DARKER
THAN OURSELVES."
And something dark and evil is slithering under the ROCK!
In the song "The Conjuring" by Megadeth, the REAL
mission of rock is clearly heard: "I AM THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE/ A
SALESMAN, if you will . . . Come join me in my INFERNAL DEPTHS . .
. I've got your soul!" At the end of the song — they chant "OBEY"!
The super group, Metallica, in the song "Jump In the Fire",
commands young people to jump into hell: "Follow me now my child
. . . DO JUST AS I SAY . . . Jump by your will or be taken by force/
I'll get you either way . . . So reach down grab my hand walk with me through
the land/ COME HOME WHERE YOU BELONG/ So come on JUMP IN THE FIRE."
In the cover song, "The Prince", Metallica openly sing: "Angel
from below . . . I WISH TO SELL MY SOUL . . . DEVIL TAKE MY SOUL/
with diamonds you repay/ I don't care for heaven/ so don't you look for
me to cry/ AND I WILL BURN IN HELL/ from the day I die."
Twisted Sister sings, "Burn in Hell": "Welcome to
the abandoned land/ COME ON IN CHILD, TAKE MY HAND/ Here there's no work
or play/ Only one bill to pay/ There's just five words to say/ As you go
down, down, down/ YOU'RE GONNA BURN IN HELL!"
Bon Jovi sings in "Homebound Train": "When I
was just a boy/ THE DEVIL TOOK MY HAND/ Took me from my home/ He made me
a man . . . I'm going DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN/ On the homebound train."
In Smash Hits magazine, Bon Jovi says, " . . . I'd kill
my mother for rock and roll. I WOULD SELL MY SOUL."
So would Tommy Sullivan of New Jersey — AND TOMMY
DID!
Tommy, your typical, all-American, fourteen-year-old, one
Saturday night, slit his own mother's throat, and then gouged her eyes
out. Tommy then slashed his wrists and cut his throat from ear-to-ear,
with an intensity that nearly decapitated him. Mayor Fran Slayton said,
"There's just something that's bothering me about this situation.
It bothers me that a good kid like that can go in two weeks." Tommy's
father said, all week his son had been singing a ROCK SONG, "about
blood and killing your mother."
Dr. Paul King, medical director of the adolescent program at Charter
Lakeside Hospital, in Memphis Tennessee, says more than 80 percent of his
patients are there because of rock music. He says, "the lyrics
become a philosophy of life, a RELIGION."
One of the most popular groups in rock history is Slayer. Slayer
sing of themselves, as, "Warriors from the gates of hell . . .
In lord Satan we trust." Slayer's albums sell in
the millions! And song after song — IS PRAISE TO SATAN! Their song
"Hell Awaits" says, "Jesus knows your soul cannot be
saved/ CRUCIFY THE SO CALLED LORD/ He soon shall fall to me/ Your souls
are damned/ your God has fell to slave for me eternally/ Hell awaits."
The beginning of their song "Hell Awaits" contains an obvious
backwards message. When played forward, nothing but garbled noise is heard,
but when played backwards — you hear the real message — "JOIN
US, JOIN US, JOIN US" — over and over!
Does this music effect young people?
A Slayer fan writes in Spin magazine (May 1989),
"I hate your God, Jesus Christ. SATAN IS MY LORD. I sacrifice animals
for him. My god is Slayer. Its THE WORDS of their music I BELIEVE
IN."
The group Acheron, has an album titled, "The Rites of the Black
Mass". On the album Peter Gilmore, of the Church of Satan, actually
reads the rites of a Black Mass, as the group Acheron, in hellish growls,
sings such lyrics as: "Glory to thee almighty Satan . . . We praise
thee, we bless thee, WE ADORE THEE . . . THOU ART LORD, THOU ALONE,
OH MIGHTY SATAN."
The group Manowar, sings in "The Bridge of Death": "Dark
Lord, I summon thee/ demanding the sacred right to burn in hell . . . take
My lustful soul/ Drink my blood as I drink yours . . . LUCIFER IS KING/
PRAISE SATAN!"
The group Morbid Angel, sings in "Vengeance in Mine": "Mote
it be/ Satan's sword I have become . . . I burn with hate/ TO RID THE
WORLD OF THE NAZARENE!" And to commit the ultimate blasphemy
— they sing in the song "Blasphemy": "Chant the blasphemy/
Mockery of the Messiah/ WE CURSE THE HOLY GHOST . . . Blaspheme the Ghost/
BLASPHEMY OF THE HOLY GHOST." Trey Azagthoh of Morbid Angel
claims to be a REAL vampire, and while playing onstage — he
actually bites himself and then drinks his own blood!
The song "Stairway to Heaven" by the group Led Zeppelin
is the most popular song in rock history. One line of the song, says, "you
know sometimes words have TWO MEANINGS." They should know
— the song is drenched in satanic backmasking! One part when played
forward, says: "Yes, their are two paths you can go by, but in
the long run there's still time to change the road you're on."
But when played backwards, you clearly hear: "IT'S MY SWEET SATAN
. . . Oh I will sing because I live with Satan." This is
the number one song in rock history! Just a coincidence — not hardly!
Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin is a devout follower of satanist, Aliester Crowley.
One of Crowley's satanic teachings, learn to cast unsuspecting spells on
people by saying them backwards! Zeppelin's song "Houses of the Holy",
they sing, "Let the music be YOUR MASTER/ Will you heed
the master's call/ Oh, Satan . . ."
One of the top songs of the 70's was "Hotel California" by
the Eagles. Most people have no idea the song refers to the Church of Satan,
which happens to be located in a converted HOTEL on CALIFORNIA street!
On the inside of the album cover, looking down on the festivities, is Anton
Lavey, the founder of the Church of Satan and author of the Satanic Bible!
People say, the Eagles aren't serious, they're just selling records. That's
what you think! The Eagles manager, Larry Salter, admitted in the
Waco Tribune-Herald, (Feb. 28, 1982) that the Eagles were involved
with the Church of Satan! Not surprisingly, one of the Eagles's songs is
titled "Have A Good Day in Hell."
The group Kiss leaped on stage as rock'n roll demons — puking blood, breathing
fire and screaming — "God of rock'n roll, we'll steal your virgin
soul." In their song "God of Thunder", they command
young people to kneel before Satan: "I'm lord of the wasteland,
a modern day man of steel/ I gather darkness to please me/ and I COMMAND
YOU TO KNEEL/ Before, The God of thunder, the god of rock'n roll/ I'LL
STEAL YOUR VIRGIN SOUL!"
Female rocker, Kat sings in the Simon-Says parody called, "Satan
Says": "Hi, boys and girls!/ We're going to play a game called
Satan says! . . . We're going to do everything that Satan says, Right?
. . . Satan says, Follow me!/ SATAN SAYS, GO TO HELL!"
The group Bow Wow Wow, in their song "Prince of Darkness",
openly give an invitation to receive Satan, as they sing: "So
open the door and LET SATAN IN, The Prince of Darkness."
The group Sad Iron, sings, "We All Praise the Devil":
"We all praise the devil/ He is so fine/ We all praise the devil/
Till the day we'll die!"
The group W.A.S.P., who proudly admit W.A.S.P. stands for We
Are Sex Perverts, sing in "Sleeping in the Fire":
"Taste the LOVE, THE LUCIFER'S MAGIC that makes you numb/
You feel what it does and you're drunk on love/ YOU'RE SLEEPING IN THE
FIRE!" During their concerts, WASP would throw hunks of raw
meat out in the audience and young people in a demonic frenzy, would actually
eat the raw meat like a wild animal! On the back of their album reads,
"The gods you worship are steel, AT THE ALTAR OF ROCK AND ROLL
YOU KNEEL."
Motley Crue sings in "Wild Side": "I carry my
crucifix, under my deathlist/ forward my mail to me in hell . . . OUR
FATHER, WHO AIN'T IN HEAVEN/ Be thy name on the wild side."
The group Black Sabbath have actually given invitations during their
concerts for young people to receive Satan. One of their albums, is truthfully
titled, "We Sold Our Soul for Rock'n Roll". Their song N.I.B.
(Nativity In Black) is one of the most openly satanic songs ever recorded.
It is a love-song from Lucifer, in which Lucifer invites the listener to
"please take my hand", the lyrics: "Some people say MY
LOVE cannot be true/ please believe me, MY LOVE, and I'll show you/ I will
give you those things you thought unreal . . . YOUR LOVE FOR ME has just
got to be real . . . Look into my eyes, you will see who I am/ MY NAME
IS LUCIFER, PLEASE TAKE MY HAND!"
One of the most popular groups in rock is AC/DC. In the song, "Hells
Bells", they sing, "I got my bell/ I'm gonna take you to hell/
I'm gonna get ya/SATAN GET YA" Their song "Highway
to Hell" says: "Ain't nothing I would rather do/ GOIN' DOWN,
PARTY TIME/ My friends are gonna be there too . . . Hey Satan, paid my
dues . . . I'm on the way to the promised land/ I'm on the HIGHWAY TO
HELL."
The satanist, Richard Ramirez, known as the "Night Stalker",
who terrorized California, claims AC/DC's song "Night Prowler"
compelled him to murder and sacrifice at least 14 people to Satan!
The group Suicidal Tendencies, whose songs glorify suicide and
have been linked to teen suicides, reveal a frightening truth in the song
"Possessed": "I'M A PRISONER OF A DEMON . . .
It stays with me wherever I go/ I can't break away from its hold/ This
must be my punishment/ FOR SELLING MY SOUL!"
The group Unleashed, in the song "Crush the Skull", blatantly
sing of their hatred of Jesus Christ: "I gaze into his glassy eyes/
and pluck him by the beard/ I uplift a broadaxe/ and split open HIS WORM
EATEN SKULL/ Crush the skull — Sacrifice/ Crush the skull — DIE CHRIST!"
Where did they get such disgusting lyrics? Straight out of the
Satanic Bible — Book of Satan 1:10!
Pink Floyd sings, in the song "Sheep", "The Lord
is my shepherd, I shall not want . . . With bright knives he RELEASETH
MY SOUL/ He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places . . . For lo,
he hath great power and GREAT HUNGER." Their song, "Lucifer
Sam", they sing: "LUCIFER Sam . . . Always sitting by your
side/ Always by your side."
The group Possessed, in the suicide song, "No Will To Live"
sing: "Drink the blood from my chalice/ Come to hell and my palace
. . . Take you to the evil land . . . You can only live by death/ WORSHIP
SATAN WITH THE REST!" In their song "Tribulation",
they proclaim their love for Satan as they sing: "IN LOVE WITH
SATAN."
The song, "The Oath" by Mercyful Fate, is the actual oath
a satanist takes during a Black Mass ritual! some of the lyrics: "I
DENY JESUS CHRIST, THE DECEIVER/ and I abjure the Christian faith/ holding
in contempt all of it's works . . . in this world I swear to give my full
allegiance, to it's lawful master/ TO WORSHIP HIM, OUR LORD SATAN, AND
NO OTHER!"
The song "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones,
is the official anthem for the Church of Satan. In it, Lucifer speaks in
the first person and asks sympathy for all who meet him. Lead singer,
Mick Jagger claims that Anton Lavey, the founder of the Church of Satan
and author of the Satanic Bible, help inspire their music! Their album
titled, "Their Satanic Majesties Request", leaves no doubt
to their allegiance!
The group Venom reveal the real reason for their music, as they sing: "We're
not here to entertain you . . . I PREACH THE WAYS OF SATAN/ Answer
to his calls!" Their song "Possessed", they sing, "I
am possessed by all that is evil/ The death of your God, I demand . . .
AND SIT AT LORD SATAN'S LEFT HAND!"
These are some of the most popular groups in the world! And these are not
isolated cases! These are just a drop in the bucket! This is dangerous
and serious satanic worship — and rock music is filled with it!
When you consider, the average young person ingests 6 hours
a day of this
What do you think this music is doing?
According to the book, Satanism in America, which
is endorsed by the National Criminal Justice Task Force on Occult Related
Ritualistic Crimes, hard-core Satanism is, "the fastest-growing
subculture among America's TEENS."
Studies taken by the Georgia Police Academy revealed — 90% of those
involved in satanism are TEENAGERS!
Television personality, Geraldo Rivera, who explored the terrifying
rise of Satanism said, "It exists AND IT'S FLOURISHING. IT IS TEENAGERS
who are most likely to fall under the spell of satanism."
How serious are they? At the 1992 MTV Awards, the group Red Hot Chili
Peppers, upon receiving their award and giving thanks, said, "FIRST
OF ALL we want to thank Satan . . ."
These groups know perfectly well who they're serving and they are
totally dedicated to their god! In Hit Parader magazine,
Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, says, "We can play with CONVICTION
every night, because we TOTALLY BELIEVE in the music we're performing."
Like Iron Maiden's, song "The Number of the Beast", in which
they direct young people to take the Mark of the Beast: "666
the Number of the Beast/ 666 THE ONE FOR YOU AND ME!"
The group Deicide, whose name means "death of God", sing
of their devotion in the song "In Hell I Burn": "In Hell
I burn, no questions remain/ In hell I burn for Satan." Their
song, "Oblivious To Evil" describes a satanic human sacrifice.
It begins with an invitation to "join us": "Join us .
. . Sacrifice of the unborn child/ Enter the kingdom of darkness/ Sodomized
for the ritual . . . Infernal majesty, take this dead offering."
Vocalist Glen Benton, displaying his complete devotion to Satan, has an
upside down cross actually branded into his forehead!
The group Coven, sings in "Burn the Cross": "Son of God
repent your sins/ And pledge your soul to hell/ Pray that Satan will forgive/
Once your God has failed . . . YOUR GOD IS DEAD and now you die/ SATAN
RULES AT LAST!" To show their burning hatred of Jesus Christ,
and blaspheme His death on the cross, they sing "Christsycle":
"If you're looking for a Saviour/ Then I've got the trick/ Christsycle/
SALVATION ON A STICK."
The popular group, Danzig in their song, "Snakes of Christ",
declare their hatred for Jesus Christ, as they sing: "SERPENT
JESUS, SNAKES OF CHRIST/ gonna build you a world of lies."
Inside the album is Glenn Danzig, wearing the satanic upside-down cross,
above him is proudly quoted, John 8:44, "Ye are of your father
the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do." One
of their logos is a demon strangling Jesus Christ with blood gushing from
His eyes! Johnny Cash, has included on his latest album — a song
written by satanist Glenn Danzig! And Johnny Cash has the audacity
to call himself a Christian!
Friend, the facts speak loud and clear! Satan is alive and
well!
To think for one second, this music is accident or trivial,
is ridiculous! From the attack on Jesus Christ, to glorification
of hell and Satan — there is a evil and guiding hand! There is
no logical or rational explanation for such lyrics — besides the obvious
influence of Satan!
And one clear message is heard — over and over —
SATAN WANTS YOU TO BURN IN HELL!
Jesus says in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, BUT BY ME."
Friend, there is only ONE WAY out of hell —
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!
Friend, as sure as you live and breathe — if you die without
Jesus Christ — that instant, YOU WILL BE IN HELL!
in flames. . . (Luke 16:24) in torment . . . (Luke
16:24 ) for ever. . . (Matt. 25:41)
Friend, I want to ask you the most important question
in your life:
Is there a time and place in your life, when you trusted
in Jesus Christ, and Him alone, as your personal Savior?
Maybe you don't listen to rock music. You may be the best person in your
neighborhood. You may even be a faithful church member.
But, the Bible is very clear.
Jesus Christ says in Matthew 12:30, "He that is
not with me is AGAINST ME . . ."
When you say no to Jesus — you say yes to Satan! Yes, Satan, I'll see you
in hell!
And friend, that's a very, very serious thing to do!
Jesus Christ loved you so much that He died on an old, rugged
cross nearly 2,000 years ago — He did that for YOU!
And now, friend — the next move is YOURS.
Jesus or Satan. Heaven or Hell.
THE CHOICE IS YOURS You can be
saved this minute.
Pray this prayer and mean it with all your heart.
Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and unless you save me I am
lost forever. I believe you died on the cross for me. I come to you now,
the best way I know how, and ask you to save me. I now receive you as my
Savior. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen.
