From the Midst of the Battle

All my friends have gone I have seen them disappear Have no much left to be buried Has every man fallen? It feels like I'm all alone There's no one to count on From the valley of the darkness, into the light My God, my Savior, hold me through this night It feels like I am losing, lead me o Lord Into the path of righteousness, out of the fields of war Too silent to be true Enemy must be attacking soon I'll prepare to fight for my life I'm sick and tired Of being in the sight of a sniper In spite of that I could be dead This war seems to last forever Will I ever be free from these chains of sin? Forces of foe are getting greater Do we really have any chance to win? Funerals after funerals Remains of our troops are exhausted But yet we are fighting Sometimes it feels like There is no sense to carry on And the night is thickening From the valley of the darkness, into the light My God, my Savior, hold me through this night It feels like I am losing, lead me o Lord Into the path of righteousness, out of the fields of war

New age philosophers selling peace and salvation Millions of gods, anticipating to be rewarded Mankind's doing everything to avoid the coming destruction But being embraced by the grace of God, the Father For the speech about the cross is foolishness to those who perish For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world He gave His only begotten Son Whoever relies on Him shall not come to destruction But will have everlasting life Every single soul, every single human being Is precious and much, much more than all the treasures Heavenly Father is longing with love each prodigal son To be saved, to be entered into the Kingdom of God But the speech about the cross is foolishness to those who perish For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world He gave His only begotten Son Whoever relies on Him shall not come to destruction But will have everlasting life Two thousand years have passed and times have changed But the historic cross of Christ still prevails He died for sins, He rose from the dead Once and for all His precious blood has been shed But the speech about the cross is foolishness to those who perish For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world He gave His only begotten Son Whoever relies on Him shall not come to destruction But will have everlasting life For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world He gave His only begotten Son Whoever relies on Him shall not come to destruction But will have everlasting life

"For the times have been and will come again When you shall be persecuted for sticking to my word." Who will have the courage to rise up To speak up for the truth? Who will share the passion To raise their heads defending the faith? Here I stand, I can do no other I cannot draw back my words I cannot hide, please help me Father To turn them into deeds Who will be there to carry on The flag of crimson blood cross? Who will remain, when the elders have gone To take over the watch? Here I stand, I can do no other I cannot draw back my words I cannot hide, please help me Father To turn them into deeds Here I stand, I can do no other I cannot draw back my words I cannot hide, please help me Father To turn them into deeds "Before I let anyone take me from the Word of God and ask me to deny my belief, I will kneel and let him strike off my head."

I sinned and repented my deeds Then I sinned again The same mistakes over and over again The struggle goes on and on and on... I felt anger and frustration I felt lack of faith Sometimes even hate Me? The good Christian? Hypocrisy is the least that I want Being mortal and imperfect Is more like my desire Sign with me the song of the saved Sign with me the song of the saved Sign with me the song of the saved Sign with me the song of the saved Sing! Sing! Sing! Song of the saved! Sing! Sing! Sing! Song of the saved! Flying to the stratosphere can be fun But it is a long way back to the ground And without a parachute You are nothing but high-speed dirt Hypocrisy is the least that I want Being mortal and imperfect Is more like my desire Sign with me the song of the saved Sign with me the song of the saved Sign with me the song of the saved Sign with me the song of the saved

Spent your daily hour for prayer Another one for worship and praise Always paid your monthly pays Never missed a service on any given Sunday Lost - you are lost, Lost - you are lost Lost indeed Lost - you are lost, Lost - you are lost Lost indeed Went to see the old and sick ones Sang hymns at the church choir Read your Bible all of the time Tried to obey it's ever command Lost - you are lost, Lost - you are lost Lost indeed Lost - you are lost, Lost - you are lost Lost indeed Tried to build a stairway to heaven Haven't seen any real progress Didn't become any holier than thou, just got frustrated And disappointed in the weakness of your spirit and flesh But it is by grace that we are saved Not by what we have made -So it has been said Lost - you are lost, Lost - you are lost Lost indeed Lost - you are lost, Lost - you are lost Lost indeed Don't get lost! Don't get lost! Don't get lost! Don't get lost! Get back on your feet - Don't get lost! Christ has set you free - Don't get lost! Get back on your feet - Don't get lost! Christ has set you free - Don't get lost!

There you are, beside me, brother of mine We fought the good fight, the end is nigh It has been a long night, like never ending We have been beaten up, yet never surrendering Can you hear it? Can you hear it? Can you hear it? I can hear it! Choir of silenced voices, children of the catacombs Martyrs of the ancient era joining the forces The most beautiful song of all times to hear Band of mutes singing, singing loud and clear Hail to the King of kings Saviour and redeem of all our sins Thy will be done, Lord most high You are messiah, one of a kind Nations are in dismay, the heavens are shaking What is coming? What is coming? Coming upon the world? The Son of Man is coming with glory and the Kingdom of God Stand erect and raise your head, redemption is at hand Can you hear it? Can you hear it? Can you hear it? I can hear it!

I am ashamed of what they have done In the name of one and only God How can Christ be so misunderstood "Do to others as you would have them do to you." (Luke 6:31) Holy, holy, holy, holy war Holy, holy, holy, holy violence The father of lies has been blinding your eyes Every single war is wholly unholy God will hear the cry of a motherless child Your reward will be as clear as your deeds Done in the name of your own The evil that men do can not be forgotten Mutilated corpses already rotten What is killing in the name of love But mockery of the living God To cultivate and care, not to destroy To guard all creation, not to spoil Distortion of God is selling well Parade of salvation walks straight to hell Holy, holy, holy, holy war Holy, holy, holy, holy violence The father of lies has been blinding your eyes Every single war is wholly unholy God will hear the cry of a motherless child Your reward will be as clear as your deeds Done in the name of your own

Prologue: Above the Mountains Part I: The Mission General Kyrios, son of the king Lived far away, higher than highest mountain Once the king called him and said: "My son, I've got a mission for you It'll be dangerous and could take you to death But you're the only one who can get through" So Kyrios left his glorious home Thirty long years he wandered alone Preparing himself to fight against the evil ruler Apollyon, who enslaved and hated the people General Kyrios chose twelve lieutenants Roaming with them he gathered troops He helped the poor, sick and the weak That was something he wanted to teach When three hard years had gone He had soldiers and friends, he was the One But also Apollyon had loyal men Who were blindly under his command They thought about how to get rid of the general Then they got help from an astonishing level One of Kyrios' men was a traitor He promised to betray his lord for the money Part II: The Death Of Kyrios They came to garden at the nightfall Kyrios was given to them by the traitor The soldiers put him in the detention And so the lieutenants lost their grand general Before the provincial governor they blamed: "He agitates our people and says: 'I'm the king!'" He said: "I will condemn you to death." Apollyon's men tortured the general They laughed at him, they spat on his face And at last - like a thief - like a thief - he was slayed! The troops of Kyrios were hiding They were scared, they were wondering "How this badly can be everything? Without our general the war we cannot win." Three days were gone, filled with sorrow and pain The general was buried, they could not gain His friends, they could see no hope And the traitor had died at the end of a rope Part III: The Hymn For Victory With the first beams of morning sun Came some women from the grave and told everyone "It's empty, he's no longer there, he lives again" With the first beams of morning sun Came some women from the grave and told everyone "It's empty, he's no longer there, he lives again" He fought the fight, he won the war! He fought the fight, he won the war! He fought the fight, he won the war! He fought the fight, he won the war! Apollyon was overthrown, he had no power anymore To enslave the people with his evil force Kyrios plundered to freedom all who believed in him Now they were free from fear, free from death and sin Whoever wants to can live his life free In the troops of Kyrios, who is J.C. To the father's home with Him we will arrive Above the mountains, into the Heaven's high And Apollyon, who is Satan, will be Thrown into the Abyss, the Fiery Sea Epilogue: The Arrival (Welcome Home)
