My Top 10 Christian Songs: #4
4. Destroyer by Project 86
“The lives that
you thought that were yours to devour/Destroyer, the tables have turned
in this hour/The plagues you unleashed, every vice that you fed/Shall
be visited here tenfold on your head.” These lines represent the lead up
to the chorus and, boy, are they great lyrics. I have discussed Project
86 on this site before and probably will many times in the future
because Andrew Schwab is an underrated songwriter. His lyrical mastery
can be seen in many of Project’s songs such as Me Against Me, Doomsday Stomp, and Spyhunter. I chose Destroyer because it is a song of pure Christian triumph and always makes me feel good about the future in Christ.
The premise of Destroyer is that we are at the final
judgment and the devil is about to finally get the punishment he
deserves by being thrown in the Lake of Fire. We, God’s elect, are
yelling this at the devil as he meets his demise. The chorus also sticks
out to me: “Let go/Cause you know/In the end all you were was a pawn in
the show.” I love this chorus because it is the ultimate insult to the
devil. God was always in control and devil could do nothing to stop it.
In the end, I believe this really will be the song we are singing.
