Lyrics


1. FOR THE GREATER GLORY OF GOD

All that I do
For the greater glory of God
All that I am is for his greater glory

The chains have been loosened
The dark legions have gathered
Disease sickens the nation
Hysteria runs rampant

All that I do
For the greater glory of God
All that I am is for his greater glory

The spirit of war is in the sky
Sweeping a nation devastated by plague
The new Israel surrounded by armies
False prophets utter disgusting blasphemies

Yet I am at peace in heart and mind
Because the Lord my God will deliver me
My eyes show horror but I trust the spirit
Outnumbered by men, but defended by angels

I belong to the triune God
I exist to serve his will and way
All of creation is his story to tell
And so I will strive against sin for all my days

All that I do
For the greater glory of God
All that I am is for his greater glory

And so I march against the multitude
With the name of Christ written on my heart and lips
And I forsake my Earthly solitude

(Fear not the silence in the heavens)

All that I do
For the greater glory of God
All that I am is for his greater glory


2. SHADOW OF THY WINGS

Hear, oh Lord, my plea,
Pay heed to my cry;
Listen to my prayer,
From lips without guile.

From you let my vindication come;
Your eyes see what is right.
You have tested my heart,
Searched it in the night.
You have tried me by fire,
But find no malice in me.

I call upon you; answer me, O God.
Turn your ear to me; hear my speech.
Show your wonderful mercy,
Delivering with your right arm
Those who seek refuge from their foes.

Ravenous enemies press upon me;
They fill their mouths with proud roaring.
Their steps even now encircle me;
They watch closely, keeping low to the ground.

Hide me in the shadow of your wings,
From the wicked who despoil me.

Rise, O Lord, confront and cast them down.


3. ART THAT DEPICTS THE END OF THE WORLD

Stone monoliths tumble down
Iconoclasm of the Ages
Millenia of History only remains in genes
Pantheons cast to the depths
Legacies burnt to a crisp
Genealogies lost forever
But the love endures

Casted out demonic legions
But my name will be forgotten
My ashes blown away
My relics long lost
But my works will pass the fire
And will live on in your genes
Alive within the subconscious mind

When your descendants dream
They'll hear my song

Art that depicts the end of the world is popular
Now that all hope seems so lost
But my faith remains unchanged until the last day
And I know that I'll see your face once again

Nothing I see remains
What is unseen will never change

Night
Night it fades away
Purged on the last day
With the memories

Devoid of a heir
Yet patriarch to many

Art that depicts the end of the world is popular
Now that all hope seems so lost
But my faith remains unchanged until the last day
And I know that I'll see your face once again


4. GATHERING OF THE ANCIENTS

The temple trampled to pieces
Every stone thrown down
The elect remain in persecution
Forced underground
I ride through a night lit with the glare
Of burning martyred corpses
Seeking to preserve a hope
For those of the last generation

Yet the ancients still gather
Preserving the glorious future
The millennial reign...

Watered by the blood of martyrs
The hidden church grows
And my time to suffer unto blood is near
But before my ordeal of fire
I must fulfill my destiny...
What I owe to my spiritual descendants...

At the summit of the elders
The Holy relic delivered
Hidden for the destined time
A hope for the last age

Yet the ancients still gather
Preserving the glorious future
The millennial reign...

Prophecy fulfilled
The will forever sovereign
The story to be told
The Dawnbreaker...

And my hour has come
I smile in victory
I enter the gates of heaven
And continue this war in prayer

6. HOLY GRAIL

We sought the holy grail to heal the wounds of men
A symbol of truth for those faint of heart
A metaphor of hope, a focal point of faith
A sacred treasure with the touch of Christ

And so we went into the forest
Down the path we each most feared
Confronting the monsters within
Overcoming ancient terrors!

And I cast off the way of sin
The dark disgusting temptations
And with them my fears
That I was giving up anything but poison

And so we went into the forest
Down the path we each most feared
Confronting the monsters within
Overcoming ancient terrors!

Through him all things are possible
To those who trust his timing
With faith not used for Earthly riches
But hope for what was promised
So we plant seeds in the desolations
Knowing of the harvest to come
And find the holy grail
And anchor in faith that cannot be shaken!

We sought the holy grail to heal the wounds of men
A symbol of truth for those faint of heart
A metaphor of hope, a focal point of faith
A sacred treasure with the touch of Christ


7. WAR ACROSS THE AGES

There is a war as ancient
As the creation of the angels
It goes on, towards its end
Affecting our world across all time

I know not the battles fought in the heavens
Nor understand the hierarchy of powers

But I must fight against the wicked
A soldier on Earth crusading for Christ
With the sword of Evil's Bane!

Crusade against the darkness
War Across the Ages
A watchmen of Israel
In these last times

Jesus lead me
Spirit guide me

He will return in the dark of night
To this world of walking dead
I must destroy the void of no light
Within this keep of wicked Evil
To suffocate the monster of deep
The succubus of ancient death!

I know not the battles fought in the heavens
Nor understand the hierarchy of powers

I have put to death myself
Drowned in baptismal waters
Conquered the beast within
My psyche and my heart

No longer will this evil dwell
Christ will conquer death and hell!


8. I NEVER KNEW YOU

Not everyone who says to him, 'Lord, Lord'
Will enter the kingdom of heaven
But the one who does the will of the Father
Who is in heaven

On that day many will say
'Lord, Lord, did we not cast out demons in your name?
And then he will declare to them, 'I never knew you;
Depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'

Yes there is a God, he surely isn't dead
Hell is the "great unknown" to those who reject his creed

But as for me
I believed - and was saved!
