Nevermind. Checked out the lyrics for myself. Doesn't look like they are.

The Devil's Own

The Devil's own
Why!?

[Chorus:]
Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be?
No matter what I've done, you've always criticized me
Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be?
When it's said and done, will you remember...

[V1:]
Slap on the wrist, smack in the face
The family tree, gave me a name and nothing more
Neglected seed, why!?

[Pre-chorus:]
It's because of you I'm broken
It's because of you I'm dead inside
I never asked to be here
It's because of you I'm godforsaken
I never wanted this
It's because of you I'm dead inside

[Chorus:]
Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be?
No matter what I've done, you've always criticized me
Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be?
When it's said and done, will you remember me?

[V2:]
A happy home, a fairy tale, a broken dream
Gave me a life, then turned away
Killed everything, why!?

[Pre-chorus:]
It's because of you I'm broken
It's because of you I'm dead inside
I never asked to be here
It's because of you I'm godforsaken
I never wanted this
It's because of you I'm dead inside

Smurf!
Father, bastard, I'm the Devil's very own
Mother, know not, just who I've become
Father, hate me, for being all your not
Mother's baby, I hate what I've become
I hate what I've become
I hate what I've become

[Pre-chorus:]
It's because of you I'm broken
It's because of you I'm dead inside

[Chorus:]
Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be?
No matter what I've done, you've always criticized me
Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be?
When it's said and done, will you remember me?

Salvation
Disgusted by your weakness
You have no right to live
To know you is to hate you
But your life's yours to give

[Pre-Chorus:]
You monkey see, you monkey do
You're always doing what they tell you to
You're such a puppet on string
You don't get it!

[Chorus:]
I won't bow to something that I've never seen
I can't believe in something that doesn't believe in me
I'm not blood of your blood, I'm no son of your god
I've no faith in your fate
Still I find salvation

[V2:]
You think you have the answers to every last detail
In your eyes, you're the victor
In mine you've only failed

[Pre-Chorus:]
You monkey see, you monkey do
You're always doing what they tell you to
You're such a puppet on string
You don't get it!
You monkey see, you monkey do
You're always doing what they tell you to
You're such a puppet on string
You don't get it!

[Chorus:]
I won't bow to something that I've never seen
I can't believe in something that doesn't believe in me
I'm not blood of your blood, I'm no son of your god
I've no faith in your fate
Still I find salvation
Still I find salvation
Still I find salvation

We've had a few drive-by spammings about this band on this board in the past.

The only reason I've even heard of this band is because of those drive bys.

I briefly had a free promo copy of their debut album. I tried to get through it once, but the vocals were horrible and traded it away. The music was, meh, ok I guess. Never once thought of them as Christian, but then again, I'm pretty thick when it comes to that sorta thing.

sorry to inform you, even if they were Christian, they would still suck.

Only difference being that they would suck in the name of God.

Ult's just fishing. One of the cover songs on Ultimatum's new album is from these guys and he wanted to know how'd it go over. He's a fanboy.

There debut cd is amazing IMO. Not one bad song. Its the songwriting and hooks that drug me in. A fav disc of that year it came out.

Yeah, I saw a video on Headbanger's Ball some months ago & thought it was incredibly "meh" sounding. Not that I don't like that nu-metal/hardcore style (I do), but they sounded a bit too generic and I wasn't sure what all the fuss was about.

I dont hear much nu-metal style in this band. Its more straight forward metal. Also Ivan Moody is one of the best vocalists in metal IMO.
