Demon Hunter is one of the best bands out! They have the most devoted fans of any band I know. Ryan Clark has one of the most unique voices in any band out today. His clean vocals are amazing and his growls and screams are sick! Demon Hunter has written so many great songs and deciding which 10 that I thought were the best was definitely challenging. For all of you who love Extremist, I am leaving this one out. It is still too new for me and so many of their older songs need to be on this list. Here is my list of the top 10 Demon Hunter songs with some of my favorite lyrics for each.
10. "Infected" from Demon Hunter
This song started it all and it deserves a spot here at number 10!
Favorite Lyric – “But I'm almost out of breath from saying things I'll regret, that I’ll regret. My time is over! I can't do this alone!”
9. "Someone To Hate" from True Defiance
Favorite Lyric – “To my last breath, I am someone to hate (I am someone to hate). I will spit upon the idol for which you stand. I will carry the weight (I will carry the weight). I will bury your deception with a wrathful hand.”
8. "Storm The Gates Of Hell" from Storm The Gates Of Hell
Favorite Lyric – “Wicked sons of Heaven's loss. Raise your own inverted cross. Kings of earth, iron first, serve the sacred you dismissed. Stand before your final day. Choke on every line you pray.”
Bonus Lyric – “Hell hath no fury at all!”

7. "Not I" from The Triptych
Favorite Lyric – “Not I, I won't conform to what I see in you. Not I, I won't surrender what I am. Not I, and even if it was a part of me. Not I, I'll never be that way again.”
6. "Carry Me Down" from Storm The Gates Of Hell
Favorite Lyric – “Will you carry me down the aisle that final day, with your tears and cold hands shaking from the weight? When you lower me down beneath that sky of gray, let the rain fall down and wash away your pain.”
5. "1000 Apologies" from The Triptych
Favorite Lyric – “And knowing what I've done to you, with every thought you suffer through, my heart as black as evil can. And everything I could have been, erased by what I wanted then. I couldn't think a lesser man. All the delicate ways that I deepened our graves, my apology pales.”
4. My Heartstrings Come Undone, Summer Of Darkness
Favorite Lyric – “There's nothing left! The fear is gone! When my heartstrings come undone I will wait for you, pray for you. Before I make my final run I will stay with you, decay with you.”
?
3. Collapsing, The World Is A Thorn
Favorite Lyric – “I, I know the light is burning dim and dying in you. I know the pain that lies within. I feel it too. I mourn your blindness. I die along and swallow darkness. In misery is where I belong. Collapsing in on yourself, I don't know why I try (I try). Collapsing in on yourself, I don't know why you deny.”
2. Not Ready To Die, Summer Of Darkness
Favorite Lyric – “And every day of my life I can feel it getting harder to breathe. With every minute ticking by I'm getting ready to leave. I know a life like mine is not a reason to fret. But, I've been busy making scars that you will never forget”
Bonus Lyric – “I'm burning bridges for the last time! I'm breaking habits for the first time!”
1. Undying, The Triptych
This song gets me pumped to go to Heaven! Check out these lyrics!
“Ever since the day that I was made I've been deciding the end
And I was made of wood and stone that won't diminish or bend
So when the heavy hand of death is here to take me away
I'll be the solid grip of time, forever holding my stay
Nobody ever made a force that took a beating like me
I call the earth and every scum to come and try to fight me
Cause when I made the choice to live beyond the dirt that we tread
I felt the curse of mortal limit fall before it was said
[Pre-chorus:]
When this season ends
[Chorus:]
One final heart-break
And blinding lights will guide our way
Free us our blind state
They will call us by our name (X2)
Undying
Tearing through these days I find
The tolerance to strive and push on
I know what lies beyond this life for me is already won
No one can take away the blood that covers over my fall
Without the blood of perfect life
I know I'm nothing at all
So now I reign forever hallowed in eternity's hand
No man can shake me from the everlasting ground that I stand
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus] X2Undying!
We are the ones who will still remain when all is laid to waste
We are the ones who, when angels cry, will see them face to face (X2)
We are the ones! We are the ones! We are the ones!When this season ends…undying!
[Chorus] X2UNDYING! UNDYING! YEAH!”
Conclusion
These are my top 10 Demon Hunter songs of all time. This band is so authentic in its style and sound. Their music will live on long after they are gone!
