Seventh Star has toured the US several times and has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the likes of Agnostic Front, Hatebreed, Sick of it All, Blood for Blood, Shai Hulud, Most Precious Blood, Comeback Kid and As I Lay Dying.
2004 was a turning point for Seventh Star. After returning from a winter tour in 2003 with Hoods and Haste the Day, Seventh Star were three members and one van short of a touring band. They took a hiatus in 2004 to re-group and resurfaced with singer Johnny Intraivaia and guitarist Chase Moore.
With this solidly dedicated line-up, Seventh Star plowed through 2005 releasing their heaviest, most dynamic album to date, “Brood of Vipers".
After a European tour they recorded "The Undisputed Truth" and released it on Facedown Records in 2007.
March.29th will be their last show in 2008, They have announced that they will no longer be a band after Facedown Fest.
Just wanted to add that they announced that they will be breaking up as of March 2008.
Be Wary
Seventh Star Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be wary, of evil schemes
Be wary of those in the temple courts
With their hands lifted high
Blood flowing from their palms
An offering of demonic psalms
Their prayer doused in death
A false witness who pours out lies
And hands that shed innocent blood
Wondrous signs, holy sights, prophesy
In the name of heaven
Haughty eyes, feed you lies, in disguise
Scheming in a futile fight
Wolves as sheep, snakes as priests
Leading flocks with their wayward staffs
Turn your back, they'll smile and laugh
As they plot to overthrow the throne
Be wary, of what you see
Be wary, of evil schemes
Wondrous signs, holy sights, prophesy
In the name of heaven
Haughty eyes, feed you lies, in disguise
Scheming in a futile fight
Be wary of those set out to destroy
Be wary of those in the demon's play
Be wary of those with a promised earth
Be wary of those you least expect
Wolves as sheep, snakes as priests
Leading flocks with their wayward staffs
Waves of false doctrine crashing down
Flowing from the hypocrisy
High tide is coming soon
Don't get caught in the undertow
Be wary, be wary
