Lord

Lord is an appellation for a person or deity who has authority, control, or power over others acting like a master, a chief, or a ruler. The appellation can also denote certain persons who hold a title of the peerage in the United Kingdom, or are entitled to courtesy titles. The collective "Lords" can refer to a group or body of peers.

Etymology

According to the Oxford Dictionary of English, the etymology of the word can be traced back to the Old English word hlāford which originated from hlāfweard meaning "loaf-ward" or "bread keeper", reflecting the Germanic tribal custom of a chieftain providing food for his followers. The appellation "lord" is primarily applied to men, while for women the appellation "lady" is used. However, this is no longer universal: the Lord of Mann, a title currently held by the Queen of the United Kingdom, and female Lord Mayors are examples of women who are styled Lord.

Historical usage

Feudalism

Under the feudal system, "lord" had a wide, loose and varied meaning. An overlord was a person from whom a landholding or a manor was held by a mesne lord or vassal under various forms of feudal land tenure. The modern term "landlord" is a vestigial survival of this function. A liege lord was a person to whom a vassal owed sworn allegiance. Neither of these terms were titular dignities, but rather factual appellations, which described the relationship between two or more persons within the highly stratified feudal social system. For example, a man might be Lord of the Manor to his own tenants but also a vassal of his own overlord, who in turn was a vassal of the King. Where a knight was a lord of the manor, he was referred to in contemporary documents as "John (Surname), knight, lord of (manor name)". A feudal baron was a true titular dignity, with the right to attend Parliament, but a feudal baron, Lord of the Manor of many manors, was a vassal of the King.

    Lord (band)

    Lord (sometimes spelled LORD) is a heavy metal band from Wollongong, Australia. The group began as a solo project for "Lord Tim" Grose of Dungeon in 2003 and expanded into a complete band when Dungeon broke up in 2005. They have released four albums and 3 EP's to date. Lord has appeared with major acts that include Queensrÿche, Nightwish, Nevermore, Saxon and Gamma Ray. The band's name is usually stylised in all capital letters.

    History

    Between 1988 and 2000, Dungeon singer/guitarist and founding member "Lord Tim" Grose had collected a number of compositions he felt were either too personal to submit to the band or inappropriate for its style. In 2003, he collected these songs on an album called A Personal Journey that was issued under the name Lord. At the end of 2005, Dungeon came to an end and Lord became a band featuring Grose and drummer Tim Yatras (also of Dungeon), along with guitarist Mav Stevens and bass player Andrew Dowling from Brisbane metal band Sedition. Yatras has also been a member of several black metal bands including Nazxul, Austere and Battalion. A Personal Journey was re-mastered and released to mark the occasion.

    Lord

    by: Cross Movement

    [The Pilgrim]
    Lord Jesus You're the King
    And You reign over everything
    Nothing is impossible to You not even anything
    Forever never perishing
    You're beauty never blemishing
    You are the song that we sing
    when we're worshipping
    You're word is nourishing
    and You're kingdom ever flourishing
    Eternal never finishing, never ever diminishing
    I'm relishing my relationship I'm daily cherishing
    Through fellowship my thirsty soul You're replenishing
    Lord, because You're just sin and lust You'll be punishing
    Astonishing, how man rejects the admonishing
    But knees will be knocking, hard nuts will be cracking and trembling
    All high heels You'll be leveling
    Mans long list of short comings
    You'll be measuring and threatening
    Over drawn accounts You'll be settling
    Prodigal sons and lost souls
    You'll be beckoning and tethering
    And then will welcome them into the bretherin
    [E'Miner]
    Lord release Your power from on high through our lives
    coz when we grip the mic we want to drop this right
    we bring our bodies as a living sacrifice
    that the deaf ears might be opened
    and the blind receive their sight, and recognize
    the way that they can identify
    with You the Christ who Died
    so that we could come into the light
    and realise that You took away our sin
    the way to You is open we can now freely come within
    You're Holy veil
    Lord, no more livin stale,
    Lord, we can know You for ourselves for real
    Lord and be secure in who You are
    in everything we do worship
    You and know that we is cool
    that's why we, want to state plainly
    the liberty that You have given us by You sovereignty
    gratefully received
    Cross Movement and MOD merge together as one like melody and harmony
    a Godly symphony
    sounding out the ghetto liturgy
    globally, we bring encouragement to all You're family
    faithfully, we want to serve You side by side with sword and trowel
    till before You're throne on both our bended knees we take our bow
    [Chorus]
    Lord we declare humbly that You are here
    We recognize ya
    We raise our praise to Your name
    Hallelujah
    We come to represent You with no shame
    because we love ya
    There's nobody else who is above ya
    [The Pilgrim]
    Lord I thank You that to us Gentiles
    who sat in the darkness You brought us light
    through Christ
    no less, sitting in the shadow of death
    Lord this world is a mass grave
    a tomb headed for doom, give me room
    spreading from the left to the right
    no depth or no height
    holding forth the word of life yo
    takin this game to the street, kicking tradition to the kerb
    enlightening those who never heard bringing the word
    faithfully spittin the truth, we're cuttin them loose
    the sceptics providin them proof yo
    we aint timid and scared, we're fully prepared
    we're ready and keen 1Peter 3:15
    me and my team
    hit targets and getting annoyed
    while The Word of God is accurate it never returns void
    and if you're looking for Guns we ain't carryin
    but I've got a Bible and some tracks in my hand you understand
    [E'Miner]
    Lord People wrestle You and try to fling You off like Dr Spock
    Instead of gripping You like Jacob
    Truly You are in this place and they know it not
    like Clarke Gable, Frankly my dear the mans don't give a... what!?!
    Do they know not
    that they're headed for that hot spot
    and when their flesh rots
    they will still be burning non-stop?
    We try to reason, but they treat us like we're talkin treason
    wanning (going on) like they is the cream of the crop
    so we use the hip-hop
    to preach non-stop
    rinse the Bible from bottom to top
    Blaze the Word till we drop
    because we can't stop makin it clear
    that You are here and You truly care
    and our burdens You'll truly bare
    but beware because we know
    You're judgement is drawin near
    if we turn from sin, You'll bring us in
    out of despair
    You made the way clear
    yet it does makes You're heart bleed
    to see the gals dem bunnin the weed
    driven by greed, mans out sowin wild seed
    yet more wild flowers a breed
    when will the people take heed
    tell me when will the people them see
    Lord You're here full of Grace and Mercy
    us Your keen to receive
    Tell me when will the people them see, Lord
    You're here and You're wrath is ready if we refuse to believe
