1)
Mortal is a christian industrial-band founded by Jyro Xhan and Jerome Fontamillas. They also pursued a techno influenced project called Jyradelix in San Diego, California, USA. They were a very influential band in the beginning of the 1990s.
In January of 1992 their debut album, Lusis, was released on Intense Records, the metal-division of Frontline Records. Other bands on the label were Die Happy, Tourniquet, Saviour Machine and Mortification. The style, though, was very different from the other bands. The music consisted mostly of samples and electronic sounds, something unheard of in the Christian world at that time. The album didn't go unnoticed and won the people's vote for 'best new band' at the CCM Update awards. Lusis was produced by Terry Taylor of Daniel Amos.
Currently, Jerome is a member of Switchfoot. Jyro is working for Crystal Lewis' label Metro One Music as a producer, engineer, keyboard and guitar player for various bands.

Miracle man
Mortal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Healing can only come through one miracle man
Looking at the world and what do I see?
I see a human race losing to its apathy
From the physical salvation of the world at large
To the spiritual diseases in our own back-yards
Forced into mass extinction from the life they possess
Torn from mother earth and the blanket of life
How can we survive?
When the last solution is the miracle man
I'm treading on this paradise lost
Where fuel for life is at that life's cost
Where peoeple, like a plague, grow by leaps and bounds
In this oasis which was paradise found
Like a deadly coalition of a fascist machine
We'd rather give in to the lust than overthrow the
Regime
Our lust for domination is a world-wide scheme
Color peace in green
It's a one in a million miracle
I'm walking through this world-wide pain
Looking for shelter from the burning rain
Where death like pollution flow through rivers and seas
But I find sanctuary when I'm down on my knees
But the earth keeps spinning in the dying wind
It turns and turns long after all the speeches end
Although world-wide consciensness is where to begin
We need one miracle man
