O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

It’s that time of the year, and Warpriest is back with another HEAVY Christmas carol to fill your stocking with. This time we are taking on “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”. We decided to spice this track up with a middle eastern flair, as well as some orchestration. And just when you think it is all over with … bam! we assault you with a gang vocal ending! Hang on to your seats, Christmas is now on like Dominic (the Donkey) Kong!

You can take a listen here on Bandcamp.

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o’er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O Come! Emmanuel!
And free the slaves
from the depths of Hell!

O Come! Emmanuel!
And in our hearts
Find a place to dwell!

Matthew 1:22-23
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,” which being interpreted is, “God with us.”
