“Altars” will be featured on our forthcoming full-length album. It’s about loving the divine within yourself and without, and the conscious and unconscious denial of the divine.
But Altars is also a mirror to the potential darkness and perversion in love within duality. Because in duality we have two choices: Move toward (attraction, positive) or move away (aversion, negative).
We dislike anything and anyone that causes us (unwanted) pain physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Life, love, and spirituality are about finding the barely remembered oneness that was lost.
When we find it, we realize we were whole all along.
lyrics
We place our faith upon the altar
Seeking peace
We place our face upon the altar
In surrender
We place our desires upon the altar
Seeking unity
Exalt in the Name
Exalt in the Word
Within and without
All is the All
Want me
Need me
Crave me
Beg me
Want me
Need me
Crave me
Beg me
Want me
Need me
Crave me
Beg me
Want me

Crave me
Beg me
Make me
Take me
Break me
Possess me

Save me
Praise me
Love me
Unite me
Our legions hail
Fall to our knives
To please and to praise
Hearts adorned
Joy raised
To please in your eyes
Pray the price of the prize
We praise you pray
We praise you prey
We praise you pray
From ground to sky
Manifest and you mirror
Your divine
Visage and voice from the Void
We praise you pray
We praise you pray
We praise you prey
We praise you pray
We praise you prey
We praise you pray
We praise
Exalt in the Name
Exalt in the Word
Within and without
All is the All
Exalt in the Name
Exalt in the Word
Within and without
All is the All
Exalt in the Name
Exalt in the Word
Within and without

All is the All
Exalt in the Name
Exalt in the Word
Within and without
All is the All

I had first heard of Spike Hellis through a friend. I was instantly hooked. I was fortunate enough to see them live last night here in Louisville,KY on 5/4/23. Funny enough, it was basically just a couple of weeks after I had been introduced to them. It made me so happy, and let me tell you, they are flawless live. I was blown away. If they come through your town, go and see them. deadinthescene
