Return To Me 05:10
Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts and I will return to you I will return to you I am zealous for Jerusalem And for Zion with great zeal I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease For I was a little angry, and they helped - but with evil intent Oh Lord, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah the Lord answered the angel with good and comforting words Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts and I will return to you I will return to Jerusalem with mercy My house shall be built there says the Lord of hosts The towns shall again spread out through prosperity Jerusalem will once again be His chosen city He will comfort the people of Zion (short solo) Run and tell that young man Jerusalem will become a city without walls I will be a wall of fire around it, says the Lord and I will be the glory within it Then the Lord says to the nation which plunder you For he who touches you touches the apple of His eyes I will shake my hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire? The Angel said to Joshua I have taken away your sin now I will clothe you with beautiful robes Let them put a clean turban on his head Listen, Joshua, the high priest You are a sign of things to come I will bring my servant The name is Branch I put this stone in front of you A stone with seven sides I will carve a message on it Says the Lord of hosts And in one day I will take away the sin of this land (guitar solo) Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts and I will return to you I will return to you Behold, I will save My people from the land of the east and the land of the west I will bring them back and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem They shall be My people and I will be their God In truth and righteousness And the Lord will be King over the whole world On that day, there will be only one Lord and His name will be the only name

To Rome 04:59
This is the day My journey starts here I can’t wait anymore I saw a sign I saw an illusion I heard an angel sing Everything I learned It was not in vain My eyes are open Now everything is new To Rome I have to go Now that’s the purpose of my life Cross the sea Into a storm It can do no harm to me Because He is with me I won’t be afraid Where is my Rome That’s where you see my tombstone I’m here to give you something That’s a spirit of love What are you waiting for Get up and say His name It’s time to wash away your sins You saw the light You heard the voice Now come to the place you are led Everything I did I know it was all wrong Once my eyes are open Nothing is the same To Rome I have to go Now that’s the mission of my life Coast to coast Breaking the chains They can do no harm to me Because He is with me I won’t be afraid Where is my Rome That’s where I bear my cross I will be there to change the world Hurry out, hurry out Go out of Jerusalem For they don’t accept your testimony about me Hurry out, hurry out Get out of Jerusalem I will send you from here to the Gentiles (Guitar Solo) To Rome I have to go Now that’s the purpose of my life Cross the sea Into a storm It can do no harm to me Because He is with me I won’t be afraid Where is my Rome That’s where you see my tombstone I’m here to give you something That’s a spirit of love Hurry out, hurry out What are you waiting for It’s time for you to wash away your sins Hurry out, hurry out What are you waiting for It’s time for you to change the fate of the world

Do they walk together unless they have planned beforehand Will a lion roar in woods, when there is no prey Just like people get afraid when they hear a trumpet blow in a town Who will not prophesy when The Lord God has spoken Children of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord You are the only ones I have chosen of all the people on the earth He made the mountains and created the wind Now He shows His plans to the world He walks over the highest places on the earth The Lord God of hosts is His name Now listen, the house of Jacob Says the God of hosts The day I punish Israel for their sins I will bring destruction on the altars of Bethel All the horns of the altar will fall to the ground The winter house and the summer house will be both destroyed Seek Me and live Don’t seek help from anything else Seek the Lord and live For other things shall come to nothing The One who made the Pleiades and Orion Turns the shadow of death into morning He calls for the water of the sea and pours them out on the face of the earth The Lord God of hosts is His name Behold, Children of Israel, when the day has come I will send a famine to the whole world Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water But of hearing the words of the Lord You wander from sea to sea, from north to east, But you will never find them You will never find them Seek the Lord and live Says the God of hosts Seek good and not evil So the Lord God of hosts will be with you He surely will answer your prayer

Silently 05:17
Deceit- That’s what we did I keel down in a shadow I don’t know where it all went wrong But I know what I did there Vanity and lie That’s the best we got Our virtue lighter than a breath My soul be silent just waiting for Him I see the light In the darkness of my heart Shining like an angel Spread its wings I saw it fly away Now I can’t see it anymore Oh Lord resurrect my soul Oh Lord please change my life Oh Lord resurrect this whole world Get us back on track, back to its real shape Please let there be hope ‘Cause I believe in You Ohhh Failure- That’s all we got We are like a leaning wall, a broken fence We can’t just give up our sins Hurt and tired The world has lost its color I hear no sound in this empty cage of my own soul My dried soul Desperately waiting for your love to come As the world is falling down I’m waiting for your love to come My soul waits for You Silently I hear the sound Calling me from distance Echoing like a prophecy Opening my mind There is no going back I just want a new life Oh Lord resurrect my soul Oh Lord please change my life Oh Lord resurrect this whole world Get us back on track, back to its real shape Please let there be hope ‘Cause I believe in You Ohhh

about

Imari Tones is a Christian heavy metal band from Japan.
These 4 songs display Imari Tone's musical diversity, classic rock elements, and spiritual messages.
Originally these songs were written for Patreon. During 2020 and 2021, Tone wrote 15+ songs as Monthly Songs for Patreon.
We picked 4 songs from there and recorded with band.
Those songs are not necessarily heavy metal. They are more like progressive rock or classic hard rock songs from the 1970's.
The lyrics are directly based on the Bible because Tone wanted to focus on God's message. "Return To Me" is based on the Book of Zechariah, "Seek Me And Live" is based on the Book of Amos, and "Silently" is based on Psalms 62&63.
The title song (and EP title) is based on the story of Paul going to Rome in the Book of Acts, also based on the actual story of Japanese Samurais visiting Rome back in the 16th and 17th century.

We release this EP to support our overseas tour in 2022. (Therefore our one dollar policy doesn't apply for this release) We appreciate your support. Thank you very much and God bless you!
