    Story Behind the Song
    The song was written when the band was becoming more comfortable with playing faster, which led to us being tighter - it's been re-written some over the years - but the core tune is the same - start at the beginning and get to the end as quickly as possible - lol - lyrically - the song was written on a simple theory our first singer (Viko) purposed: Could a God build a wall he couldn't destroy? If he could, then he isn't all powerful cuz there is something he couldn't do - if he can't build it - the he's not all powerful cuz there's something he can't do! A big catch 22 to say the least...

    Lyrics
    BUILD YOUR WALL

    ROSE UP FROM THE DARKNESS
    WITH DOMINATING SIGHT
    RAN BACKWARDS THROUGH THE TUNNEL
    NEVER WANTED A PART OF THE LIGHT

    ALL THIS LIFE WAS PAIN
    AND YOU’LL NEVER SEE ME TEAR
    REASON YOU’LL FORGET HIM AND LEARN
    THAT WE ARE THE ONES TO FEAR

    I WILL BUILD A WALL
    NO ONE CAN DESTROY!!

    IF YOU CAST THE FIRST STONE
    WILL YOUR FAITH RESTORE?
    WILL YOU DIE TO FIND OUT THAT
    YOU ARE YOUR ONLY LORD?

    YOU DRAW YOUR OWN LINE
    THEY CHOOSE WHICH SIDE YOU’LL STAND
    YOU RUN TOWARDS YOURSELF
    AS HE PULLS WITH HIS BLEEDING HANDS

    I WILL BUILD A WALL
    NO ONE CAN DESTROY!!
    BUILD YOUR FUCKING WALLl!!

    CAN YOU FIND YOUR OWN WAY?
    CAN YOU ELUDE THEM ALL?
    CAN YOU FIND A SAVIOR THAT
    CAN DESTROY YOUR WALL?

    NOW THIS LIFE ENDS
    AND ETERNITY HAS COME
    KNOW MY ONLY SAVIOR
    WAS A SMOKING, BLOODSTAINED GUN!!

    I WILL BUILD A WALL
    NO ONE CAN DESTROY!!
    I WILL BUILD A WALL
    NO ONE CAN DESTROY!!
