1. LIKE AN OWL AMONG THE RUINS

I am like a desert owl,
Like an owl among the ruins...
All day long my enemies taunt me.
Those who rail against me use my name as a curse.
My days are like the evening shadow...
I wither away like grass...

But you, o lord, sit enthroned forever...
Your renown endures through all generations...
You will arise and have compassion on zion,
For it is time to show favor to her...
The appointed time has come...


2. THE BATTLE OF FROSTVALE

Prepare for the battle!
The enemy approaches!
In this perilous journey, shields shatter; minds Shatter...

The battle has been won...
There are none who can stand against us...
We come with fire and metal...
We come for thee..
The battle is at your doorstep...
We come for thee...

Hey!

We come with fire and metal...
We come for thee...

Unsheathe my sword!
Unsheathe my sword upon you this day!
Unsheathe my sword upon you!
Pierce your flesh!
With fire and thunderstorms!
With fire and thunder!


3. CHRIST IS LORD THERE IS NO OTHER

Woe to the city of blood, full of lies,
Full of plunder, never without victims!
The crack of whips, the clatter of wheels,
Galloping horses and jolting chariots!
Charging cavalry, flashing swords and glittering spears!
Many casualties, piles of dead, bodies without number,
People stumbling over the corpses--
All because of the wanton lust of a harlot,
Alluring, the mistress of sorceries, who enslaved nations By her prostitution
And peoples by her witchcraft.

Sun and moon stood still in the heavens
At the glint of your flying arrows, at the lightning of You flashing spear.
In wrath you strode through the earth and in your anger You threshed the nations.
You came out to deliver your people, to save your Anointed one.
You crushed the leader of the land of wickedness,
You stripped him from head to foot.
With his own spear you pierced his head
When his warriors stormed out to scatter us,
Gloating as though about to devour the wretched who were In hiding.

You trampled the sea with your horses, churning the great Waters.
I heard and my heart pounded, my lips quivered at the Sound;
Decay crept into my bones, and my legs trembled.
Yet I wait patiently for the day of calamity
To come on the nation invading us.

The sovereign lord is my strength...

You heavens above, rain down righteousness; let the Clouds shower it down.
Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up,
Let righteousness grow with it; I, the lord, have created It.

Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker,
To him who is but a potsherd among the potsherds on the Ground.
Does the clay say to the potter, 'what are you making?'
Does your work say, 'he has no hands'?

"I am the lord, and there is no other."


4. THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL ARISE FIRST

The dead in christ shall arise first...
For the lord keeps his word and faithful promises!
No more shall the enemy torture our brothers..
Sin will pass away!
And every knee will bow to him!

The dead in christ shall arise first,
for He is worthy and victory is ours!


5. CALM OF WINTER

(Instrumental)


6. DESTROYING THE DEMONIC ALTAR

I am across the ocean,
Under the mountains,
Among the trees,
And above the sky...


7. TO PRAISE THE ETERNAL

Oh eternal one, I bring my heart to you!
For you are worthy and holy!
Your hand shatters mountains and boils the sea...
By Your breath do the winds move...
And I bring my praise to You!

Your wrath lay secret above the universe...
Bring your sword upon the sin that dwells within us...
For your might is a blazing sun of strength...

You have restored this shattered soul...
But for your grace I would be a corpse,
Rotting with the passing world...
You give life, o sovereign one!
You give life!

O father of life, my heart beats for your glory!
Death shall relinquish my body
But You, lord, will gather up my spirit!

Let Your spirit fill my heart!
Your wonders abound in me...
I am nothing outside of you...
Eternal one, almighty god, take this offering!

He who dwells in the shelter of the most high
Will rest in the shadow of the almighty...
I will say of the lord, "he is my refuge and my fortress,
My god in whom I trust."
You will only observe with your eyes
And see the punishment of the wicked...


8. WATCHTOWERS OF THE HOLY KINGDOM

Gather your men!
We ride to war!

The time has come!
Our blades of holy wrath fall swiftly!
Your end is near!
Trampled grass be thy tomb...

Your death is betrayed by the fall of my sword!
Your grave is opened!

Wrath of god come!
Sleep deeply in death...

Your corpse has risen into the sky...
Bleeding down upon the stars...
You have forgotten deep within the history's tomes...

In the far hills, the word stands alone...
Christ has come!


9. DEATHS FROZEN GRIP

Death lurks ahead...
Its icy grip is upon my throat...
I feel the chill of its touch...
My mouth is frozen shut...

My spirit is covered in frost
And I have lost all sense of knowing...
A Savior's light... a savior's might...
Give me strength through the endless night...

I shake the cold of death from my limbs...
Color returns to my flesh...
The enemy will pay for his deceit...
I grasp the hilt of my sword
And step from my tomb...

And with this blade of light
I will now show you the true meaning of death...


10. CAVERNS OF UNSPEAKABLE DARKNESS

Even in the darkness of the grave, the light of christ Breaks through...

In the end your soul will rise up from underneath the Caverns of death...
This is true... for my savior said that by his life, we Are given a choice...
Come...

Your soul will rise up from underneath the cavern of Death!

You think you know what's coming?!
Well take that to your grave!
You think you know what's coming?!
Well take that to your grave!!

We are yours, god!

My shield...
Your shield...
My shield...
Your shield...
Your blood covers me...
My shield...
