Behold the Ungodly (Psalm 73)
Epically Intense speed metal, with tension and resolution, Brutal guitar solo opening. Crushing down-tuned guitar and thunderous Double-kick drums, Soaring and clean but aggressive and fast vocals, tight syncopated riffs, Dynamic 2-semi-tone key-change transitions, anthemic choruses underscored by atmospheric synth, Dramatic breakdown intensifies the bridge before final chorus, layered harmonies and double kicks, concluding with a sudden, impactful stop with powerful snare and long drawn out cymbal crash echoing, Distorted rapid alternate-picked scale guitar runs, double-kick drum with heavy snare accents, sweep-picked arpeggios on lead, syncopated chugging rhythm guitar, 2-hand tapping sequence, whammy dives and wide vibrato, rapid-fire double-kick drum fills, sustained power chord with feedback

Lyrics
Intro: Rapid alternate-picked guitar riff, double-kick drums, technical guitar solo with sweep picking and tapping, palm-muted guitar chugging, high-pitched guitar squeal
This song is of Asaph!
Verse 1
Truly God is good to Israel
And also to they of a clean heart
As for me my feet were almost gone
My steps had well-nigh slipped away
When I see the wicked prosper
For I envy, I envy the foolish
What I see their strength is firm
I see no bands are in their death
Solo
Verse 2
driving drum beat, syncopated guitar riffs
Unlike the others, nothing troubles them
But pride encircles them like a chain
Violence covers them like vestments
Unlike the others, they seem to be not plagued
Their eyes stand out with fatness
They have all their heart's desire
But are corrupt despite all this
Wicked oppression as a mire
They speak loftily with mouth set against the heavens
They raise their tongues to walk through the earth again
Therefore his people return high waters of a full cup
Wring out to them
They ask, is knowledge in the most high?
And they say, how doth God know then?
Chorus
But it is good, it is good for me to draw near to God
Yeah it is good, oh it is good for me to draw near to God
I will put my trust in God above the Lord
That I will always declare forever all thy works
Solo
Verse 3
aggressive vocal delivery
Behold, these are the ungodly
Those who prosper in the world
And they increase in riches
Those who prosper in the world
Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain
And washed my hands in innocency
For all day long have I been plagued
And chastened every morning
If I say, if I speak thus
Behold I should offend against descendants
The generation, the people of thy children
When I stumble on to know this thought
Became too painful for me
Till I went to the sanctuary of God
Then understood I their end
Solo
Bridge
Thou hast surely set them down
Down into a slippery place
Into destruction cast them down
Brought them to the desolation in a moment then
Utterly consumed they are consumed with terrors
Like a dream that wakes you, oh Lord
To awaken thy power
Thou shalt, thou shalt, thou shalt, thou shalt despise their image
Guitar Solo
Verse 4
And thus my heart was grieved
In my reins I was pricked
Before thee was I as a beast
So foolish, so ignorant
Nevertheless I am continually with thee
And yes by my right hand thou hast always holden me
Chorus - full band, anthemic
And it is good, it is good for me to draw near to God
Yeah it is good, oh it is good for me to draw near to God
I do put my trust in God above the Lord
Then I do always declare forever all thy works
Outro
Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel
After then receive me to glory
None upon the earth do I desire in heaven
Who have I but thee?
My flesh and my heart faileth
But God is the strength of my heart
When flesh and my heart faileth
My portion is forever and forever
melodic guitar solo
For lo, they that are far
They perish who are far from thee
Thou hast destroyed them in power
All who go a-whoring from thee
But it is good, it is good for me to draw near to God
Yeah it is good, oh it is good for me to draw near to God
I do put my trust in God above the Lord
Then I do always declare forever all thy works
All thy works, yeah, all thy works
