1. SUMMONED BY CHRIST'S VICAR

(Instrumental)


2. EVIL'S BANE

In the name of Christ
And by the order of his vicar
These monsters will be driven
This plague of darkness will cease
I pledge my life to the church
And give my soul to the LORD
To wage total warfare in the spiritual
And fight his enemies to my death - and beyond!

My blade is the wrath of God
The bane of unholy ones
The breaker of dawn, the bringer of light
The fear of the wicked darkness
For our struggle is not with flesh and blood
But with principalities, with the powers

With the world rules of this present darkness
With the evil spirits in the heavens

My swords slices their binds
My psalms savage their beasts
My shield reflects their dark works unto themselves
And brings their shame into the day!
I cast them out of the meek
I undo their works of destruction
But this power comes not from me
And all is for the glory of him most high!

My blade is the wrath of God
The bane of unholy ones
The breaker of dawn, the bringer of light
The fear of the wicked darkness
For our struggle is not with flesh and blood
But with principalities, with the powers

A plague of darkness has draped the land
Cloaking all in mournful terrors
But the morning sun will light the sky
And vanquished will be the horrible night

I have come to bring light in his name
To the darkest depths for the rest of my days
And I wield the sword of evil's bane
The word of truth, by which demons are slain!


3. THE VIRTUOUS QUEST

I am a hunter of plagues and death
In prayer I destroy legions of the evil one
A host of angels fights beside me in battle
I'm defended by the LORD of heavenly armies

I shall free the tortured slaves of hell!

Oh evil, what have I to fear?
For death is swallowed up in victory
Oh death where is thy sting?
Oh death where is thy victory?

Matching strength for strength in spiritual combat
Drowning the wickedness in Holy Water
Immune to their foolish spells and incantations
They pronounce death upon themselves!

Assaulting the gates of their wicked fortres
Fearless in the face of ghastly horrors

Oh evil, what have I to fear?
For death is swallowed up in victory
Oh death where is thy sting?
Oh death where is thy victory?

I once knew the weapons of the wicked
Yet now wield them against the evil I once served!

My quest is to heal this sickened nation
From the disease that consumes eternally
For in the waters is regeneration that covers up the darkness of the past

Oh Lord, remember not my sinful ways
May I bear your yoke for the rest of my days


4. BRIDGE BETWEEN WORLDS

A man once crossed the gulf between human and divine
Because he was fully God and fully man
And he offers humanity a medium to our creator
He opened a direct portal to God

I will eat his flesh and I will heal primordial wounds!
I will drink his blood and I will cross the bridge between worlds!

He is the image of the invisible God
The firstborn of all creation
For in him all things were created in Heaven and Earth...
All things were created through him and for him

I will eat his flesh and I will heal primordial wounds!
I will drink his blood and I will cross the bridge between worlds!

Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof
But only say the word and my soul shall be healed

Only by his body and blood am I able to survive
Through powers from his sacrament I confront the greatest of evils!

Through him and with him and in him!


5. TORMENT OF ANTI-CHRISTIAN SOULS

The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever
And they have no rest, day or night

Don't believe the lies of your cruel material masters
You and I have more hope of salvation than anyone

I see your hate for the world
Don't you know we have this in common?
Join us, share in our persecutions
And why live a whole life of sadness
Just to spend eternity in torment?
Repent, don't waste your suffering!

The man of many sorrows knows the pain within your heart

Don't believe the lies of your cruel material masters
You and I have more hope of salvation than anyone

I see your hate for the world
Don't you know we have this in common?
Join us, share in our persecutions
And why live a whole life of sadness
Just to spend eternity in torment?
Repent, don't waste your suffering!


6. PLAGUE HUNTERS

(Instrumental)


7. YOURS IS THE NIGHT

Why, God, have you cast us off forever?
Why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture?
Remember your people, whom you acquired of old
The tribe you redeemed as your own heritage
Mount Zion where you dwell
Direct your streps toward the utter destruction
Everything the enemy laid waste in the sanctuary
Your foes roared triumphantly in the place of your assembly
They set up their own tokens of victory
They hacked away like a forester gathering boughs
Swinging his ax in a thicket of trees
They set your sanctuary on fire
Profaned your name's abode
By razing it to the ground

Yet you, God, are my king from of old
Winning victories throughout the earth
Yours is the day and yours is the night
You set the moon and sun in place

You fixed all the limits of the earth
Summer and winter you made
You stirred up the sea by your might
You smashed the heads of the dragons on the waters
You crushed the heads of Leviathan
Gave him as food to the sharks
Arise, God, defend your cause
Remember the constant jeering of the fools
Do not forget the clamor of your foes
The unceasing uproar of your enemies

Yet you, God, are my king from of old
Winning victories throughout the earth
Yours is the day and yours is the night
You set the moon and sun in place


8. A MARTYR'S GLORY

I will give my life to destroy this horrible plague
I'll resist the evil one in intense sufferings

Yet if the Lord blesses me with agonies
I shall bask in the glory of torturous trial

I want nothing more than to suffer and die
For the glory of God
And my Lord Jesus Christ
And I hope to burn as a sweet sacrifice
For my blood to be split
In his glorious sight!

Peel the skin from my bones!
Burn me until the ashes are charred!
Pluck my tongue and my fingernails
Crucify me on agonizing cross!

The torments of the flesh are a badge of divine courage!

I want nothing more than to suffer and die
For the glory of God
And my Lord Jesus Christ
And I hope to burn as a sweet sacrifice
For my blood to be split
In his glorious sight!

This flesh is nothing!
From Heaven I will send fire in prayer!


9. LADY OF THE SNOWS

She is cloaked in a robe of the sun
And served as an ark to the most holy one
She is greatest of all the saints
But should this bring due veneration?

The mother of the king is queen
But shall I lay my sword at your feet?

Her ghost led millions to the cross
But many mistake her for a god
Others won't even speak her name
But what would most please my Lord?

The mother of the king is queen
But shall I lay my sword at your feet?

All who saw you said that you point to him
The holy ones all called upon ye, blessed

She appeared in a blizzard of snow...
And she turned my eyes to Jesus Christ
And I know that she prays for me!
And I would die just to see her face again!

She prays for me...
