Lost! And isolated
Surrounded by the enemy on the battlefield
The warrior lifts his head toward heaven
As the rain beats upon his face
Mixing with his tears
And the blood from his wounds

He bows his head realizing that the end has come
He reaches for his helmet
And watches it slowly drop to the ground
His sword and shield fall to the earth
And he falls to his knees
As the memories flood in

The maiden he left back home
Her beauty, the wind blowing thru her hair
Her words of encouragement to fight for truth
Knowing she is waiting for his return
The fields of grain waving across his kingdom
Now…so far away

Upon a higher plane
Evil stands at the war table in heaven
And proudly lifts both hands anticipating imminent victory
That he has beaten this soldier and his stand for justice
Watching as the warrior lays down all of his defenses
And lays prostrate upon Terra’s crust

Then! A Voice from heaven
Prepare for Glory! No retreat! No surrender!
Stand and fight! For I Am with you
Be free, Be free at last
For Freedom and Truth are everlasting
Until the day comes when Eternity is no more

For the day has come when My Glory
Moves upon Terra because I have
Found faithful warriors that stood within the gates
Watchmen that guarded Truth, Freedom, and Holy Justice
For the day when Good overcomes Evil
That My Sacrifice was not in vain

For victory was won and now comes to the eye of man
As the laws of heaven once again reign
Blending the Old Law with Grace
As Justice fights and Mercy pleads for souls
And mortal men will again fear the Most Holy God
As the maiden receives her victorious warrior

May your words O God this night
Mark my heart that my allegiance to You
Never be surrendered upon the battlefield
That my eye not be on the enemy that surrounds me
But upon the impossible, with faith, that only heaven can generate
Believing that victory is nigh at hand
