The nights are dark and the winds are cold
Lightening cracks the night sky as this story unfolds
The troops flood the streets as the hour brings war
As the moon hides behind the clouds as the thunder roars
Welcome to the city
I hope you enjoy your stay,
You will find no peace, no joy, just enemies in your way
This City dwells inside me, it beats in my chest
This City is what controls me, at my worst and at my best
And me, I am just a mere soldier in this city
Constantly fighting for what is right
Constantly trying to please my God, to steer this vessel towards the light
But Death lurks, around every corner , behind every door
waiting opportunity against me, to knock me to the floor
And as fate would have it I am captured,
I become a causality of war
And as I feel it, I scream it’s over
It’s not worth fighting anymore
Because I wanna do right, but within me, I feel this poison in veins
That stops me in my tracks, that puts me in chains
So now look at me, a prisoner in my own city
No power, no control, just empty hands and a soul growing cold
They chained my hands and feet so I’d have no control
And over my eyes where i’d receive my sight they put a blindfold
Powerless and helpless I sit and I cry, my city has turned against me
And the question is why? Is there another law in my members warring against of my mind
And now I sit in my slavery, wondering where is the divine?
Wondering will I ever realign? Or am I cut from the vine?
Am I all out of power? Is this my final hour?
I feel the tears run down my face, and I sense devourer
I taste that bitter taste, anything but savory, it’s sour,
It’s the taste of the defeat, it rains on me, it showers
Oh wretched man that I am, I deserve this end
All of sin’s fiery attacks, I can’t defend
Forgiveness is out my reach, Cause the sin I fall into, I once too often breach
I, a soldier of my city, must watch it fall,
I, defender of my city, will lose it all
But then I hear the words, whisper, softly in my ear
There is therefore no condemnation, to them who draw near
The voice became louder, and then it was made clear
That there was a name by which I could be saved, A name that all feared
The king came down, cloaked in his light
The battle ensued, a spectacular fight
My chains were broken, and I regained my sight
And what I saw on that stormy night
Was unimaginable
What i saw was the King of Kings at war, with his sword in his hand
With his Seraph army behind him, nothing short of grand
A thousand miles a way I stand, yet his light so bright, I covered my eyes with my hand
And there I Stand , at the epicenter
Watching my God fighting for my heart
The warring King of Glory
Who loved me from the start
