I don't really understand how 12 Stones claims, as a band, to be secular. From the wikipedia article: "In an interview, guitarist Eric Weaver stated that 12 Stones are not a Christian band but are simply Christians trying to make good music with meaningful lyrics for people." The lyrics, however, are extremely Christian for a band calling themselves secular. The only thing they don't do is literally say "God" or "Jesus" in a song, it seems. From another article: "The name of the band is a reflection of their strong Christian values. As stated on their official website, "12 Stones" is taken metaphorically from the twelve stones in the Hoshen, a breastplate worn by the high priest of Levitical order in the Old Testament. The rights to the name were bought from a family who had come up with the name for their cottage. In an interview on the national television special Broken TV, McCoy explained that the band's name reflects a reference to the twelve stones that the Israelites erected after they crossed the Jordan River. McCoy also stated in an interview with Christian Music Review that their name is also a reference to the twelve disciples that followed Jesus."
Like really, this isn't a Christian band? These lyrics are from a song called Soulfire from the first album. Not that good musically honestly, but look at this.
Every morning as I wake to another day
I bow my head hit my knees and I begin to pray
I search for answers that I wonder if I'll ever find
Running circles in the mazes deep inside my mind
You always take me to a higher level
Show something that's deep inside
You show me things I never knew
You push me you pull me
You set my soul on fire
You take me so much higher
Higher again
Thank you for it all
Everyday living this life not knowing what it means
Consolation from above fulfilling all my dreams
And as I look across the crowd in their eyes I see
All their troubles and their pain staring back at me
You always take me to a higher level
You show me something that's deep inside
You show me things I never knew
You push me you pull me
You always give the best for me
Lift your hands high right where I can see
You always give the best for me
Lift your hands high right where I can see
Not a Christian band? Really?
