about

"As when a hungry man dreams, and
behold, he is eating
and awakes with his hunger not satisfied,
or as when a thirsty man dreams, and
behold, he is drinking
and awakes faint, with his thirst not quenched,
so shall the multitude of all the
nations be
that fight against Mount Zion."

lyrics

We found
All our hope
Inside
My fathers cloak

We found it
Inside our home
We found war
Outside our door

Inhale
The smoke and dust
Left by
The battle fought

A soldier
Just a man
Trying to fight
Any way he can
With Everything he can

Darkness
It grabs and eats at me
Like an animal

I can feel the pressure Of death
And the emptiness of all the battles fought

Children
Forced to fight
And leave
Innocence behind

Strength will rise from
The bottom and
depths of
Our souls and minds

All our goals
Our goals
Will fade away

[There are opposites,
Opposing opposites.
And don't be fooled it was planned.
An enduring struggle against light.
Against glory.

Please know that this trench isn't dirt, but concrete.
And this concrete isn't life,
But momentary time.

And as I glanced upwards, into heaven,
Atmosphere,
A collision of orange and red
I think-
I think this is how I end.

But then he moves,
Taking my spot
Giving his.
As if his reply is "not yet."

I then watch as it explodes.
Yes, I watch as it explodes.]


Pick up your sword
Fight the demon army
Pick up your sword
Nothing can ever harm me
