Advent is a season observed in many Western Christian churches as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. The term is a version of the Latin word meaning "coming".
Latin adventus is the translation of the Greek word parousia, commonly used to refer to the Second Coming of Christ. For Christians, the season of Advent anticipates the coming of Christ from two different perspectives. The season offers the opportunity to share in the ancient longing for the coming of the Messiah, and to be alert for his Second Coming.
Advent is the beginning of the Western liturgical year and commences on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, the Sunday nearest to St. Andrew's Day (30 November), in the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church, and in the Anglican, Lutheran, Moravian, Presbyterian and Methodist calendars. In the Ambrosian Rite and the Mozarabic Rite of the Catholic Church, Advent begins on the sixth Sunday before Christmas, the Sunday after St. Martin's Day (11 November).

"Overcome" is a song by alternative rock group Live, which was released as the second single from their 2001 album, V.
The song became associated with the September 11 attacks on the United States. Proceeds from the sale of the single were donated to charities to benefit the victims of the attack.
The song was a major hit in Belgium (#2) and The Netherlands (#3). It was not released as a single in the US, but reached #30 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
The song spawned three music videos.
The first version was created by Steven Rosenbaum, founder and CEO of production company CameraPlanet, and consists of footage Rosenbaum's seven camera crews had shot around Ground Zero on 9/11. During that day, Rosenbaum had heard "Overcome" on the radio—the song had been picked up by several stations in the wake of the attacks—and in the evening he started editing the footage to the song. On September 13, after a total of seven hours of editing, he showed the finished video to a friend at VH1 which put it into rotation within an hour. It was subsequently also picked up by VH1's sister station MTV and both channels played it, along with only a handful of other videos, for close to a week.
Overcome is the fourth studio album by the American heavy metal band All That Remains. It was released on September 16, 2008.Overcome is the first album by All That Remains that was not produced by Adam Dutkiewicz of Killswitch Engage, as well as the first with the band's current drummer, Jason Costa.
On July 21, 2008, two tracks from the new album - "Before the Damned" and "Relinquish" - made their first appearance on the band's MySpace profile. Commenting on the tracks, vocalist Philip Labonte stated, "This represents the heavier side of ATR. Last time we did this we put up 'The Weak Willed' and we feel like it's a bit of a tradition to really kick you in the nuts when we first show off new stuff! So here is the heaviest stuff we came up with for 'Overcome.'" "Chiron" made its first appearance on August 11, 2008, on the band's MySpace profile. The song was the first single from the album, with a behind-the-scenes shoot up and the official music video submitted to YouTube.
This foolishness of the cross? Salvation for the lost? Are we deceiving ourselves for our cause? Yet when I still believe in a GOD I can’t see. What foolish things do we cling to? I stand accused, I’m a fool. This cross I cling to. I stand accused, I’m a fool. This cross I cling to. Will not be removed. I stand accused, I’m a fool, I cling to YOU. I am rooted in the truth. In the truth. You, ancient of days. I steep my heart in your almighty ways. Spit in the face of the. Saviour. Spit in the face of the. Save Your. Spit in the face of the. Saviour. Spit in the face of the. Save Your Breath. Spit in the face of the. Saviour. Spit in the face of the. Save Your. Spit in the face of the. Saviour. Spit in the face of the. Save Your Breath. Save your mockery. Saviour. Spit in the face of the. Save Your. Spit in the face of the. Saviour. Spit in the face of the. Save Your Breath. Saviour. Save me. Save me. Save me from myself. Overcome. I am not ashamed. To live is Christ, to die is surely gain. Overcome this worthless sense of grief. Stare death in the face. I am not afraid. OVERCOME. Overcome. We will stare death in the face. Stare death in the face. Overcome. Overcome. We will stare death in the face. Stare death in the face. OVERCOME.
