Brian “Head” Welch, formerly of rock group Korn, made a very public, very controversial announcement a few years back when he declared he had accepted Jesus Christ into his life. Since then, he’s quit the band and gone through quite the roller coaster of career ups and downs, as expected of artists who publicly declare their Christian faith, in a secular world that is less than tolerant of folks who are unfairly seen as intolerant of others.
Since then, Head has taken affairs into his own hands, and released this new single, Paralyzed, which is now a certified Top 10 hit on the Christian rock chart. Not exactly the kind of song that you’d imagine hearing on GannsDeen.com, but it’s 2012, and it’s time to shake your musical comfort a bit, don’t you think? Paralyzed will hopefully be the start of even more amazing things to come for the talented and obviously passionate Welch.
PARALYZED
Brian “Head” Welch
Why is my love so cold?
No more will I pretend
Gasping for air as you’re slipping through my fingers
Don’t kiss me goodbye, please don’t leave here
I’m dying inside (knowing it’s my fault)
Crying with my (fist against the wall)
Can’t get away
I swear I’m gonna break
I’m paralyzed, I need you now
The smell of sacrifice
Your disappearing whispers
I cannot grasp how my life inside just withers
Don’t kiss me goodbye, please don’t leave here
I’m dying inside (knowing it’s my fault)
Crying with my (fist against the wall)
Can’t get away
I swear I’m gonna break
I’m paralyzed, I need you now
I need you
I need you now
I need you
Death before I give dishonor
Death before I disobey
Death before I give dishonor!
Death before I disobey!
DISOBEY! DISOBEY!
I’m dying inside (knowing it’s my fault)
Crying with my (fist against the wall)
Can’t get away
I swear I’m gonna break
I’m paralyzed, I need you now
I need you now
