Born into War

As a baby, we are innocent
But we grow up quickly and our innocence is thrown to the ground
Like a fleece placed over the lambs eyes, before we know it – it’s gone
And the Wolf moves in.
So I pull my sword from my sheath
Hot golden pureness dripping from the metal that made it
We stand on the front line, arm to arm
Not a word is spoken for we know we may loose our lives.
Trembling in our Armor we stand.
Shaking on the battlefield that is centuries old
“Lord help me fight this war
Give me and your army the power and strength to carry on
For oh so many are blind to their heart
And so many more accept things for what they seem
But the wolf is drawing near”
Blind, confused, out of control – we need to come as one body
And stand strong.
The Dragon is moving in with reinforcements
But we are assured to win
“Take this sword and help me charge into the Dragon
The one who drinks blood and seeks to cloud your words”
I strike the Dragon
A fatal blow –
But somehow the dragon heals itself.
Prepare yourself for battle
For all mankind will bow to the dragon and to their fate in the same breath.
Yes Lord, time is running out.
Your return is near
And scared by your power you instill in your people, the dragon will flee.
He may escape us, but he can never escape you.
Cleanse my soul in your blood
Lord keep me safe from all evils
And speak to me through my heart and teach me how to listen.
Help my heart continue to burn for you – but push me further
Until I have a chest that is red with Love.
A never ending passion for you.
Stoke the fire and add your word to keep me blazing along the way.
Help me find the right words for my brothers and sisters
So they can come on our army.
We are soldiers at war!
The dragon circles and scorns the earth,
Breaks apart now non-existent families, and turns many from you
Lord guide me so I can grab theses ears and heads that have turned on you
So that some day we can all sing of your praises
I love you Lord!
Help me!
Help my cause and my existence
And please help to open hearts of stone so we can let in the truth!
