I Hear the Sound
Israel & New Breed Lyrics

The lyrics to Israel & New Breed's "I Hear the Sound" speak to the gathering of a new group of believers who are determined to confront the enemy. The opening line, "I hear the sound of a new breed," suggests that there is a shift in spiritual consciousness happening. The use of the word "breed" implies that this group of people is different, separate from others. The following line, "Marching toward the gates of the enemy," suggests that this group is not afraid to confront the negativity or evil that may exist in the world. This line speaks to the confidence and strength of believers who are unafraid to take action against oppression.

The chorus of the song reinforces the idea of this new breed being a powerful force. The repetition of the words "armed and dangerous," "strong and serious," and "clothed in righteousness" showcases the determination and faith that this group possesses. When the lyrics state "It's a new breed, a new breed," it further emphasizes the idea that this group is different from previous generations. The final lines of the song, "It ain't a black thing, It ain't a white thing, It ain't a colored thing," speak to the universality of this new breed. It is not based on skin color or ethnicity, but rather a kingdom thing; a spiritual bond that unites believers.
