To War 02:54
This is an invitation, a call to war The hordes of hell and all its fury are unleashed Darkness swept across the earth like a dark tidal wave (Joel 3:9) "Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for war Rouse the warriors Let all the fighting men draw near and attack." We march to the gates of hell On this night blood will be spilled Demons roaring in the distance Dragons soaring overhead Some of the men grow restless But my fire is raging from within I'm ready to face the darkness With my blade, I'll sever the demon's heads Show no mercy to the evil ones This battle will shake the earth down to the pit of hell Let it be known this is set in stone Our God will prevail Battle lines drawn, our leader goes before us (Revelations 19:11-16) "He is called Faithful and True With justice, He judges and wages war His eyes are like blazing fire, and on His head are many crowns He has a name written on Him that no one knows but He Himself He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood and His name is the word of God Coming out of His mouth a sharp sword, to strike down the nations He will rule them with an iron scepter He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God almighty." This is the overture to war!

We are the body of our God, we stand as one We will worship with one voice, we'll shake the earth Rise up brothers and sisters, don't be scared Put your heart on display and worship unashamed With the heart of David, we will scream As we go to war we will shout and sing For the victory that is coming, For deliverance from the enemy Why do we bicker amongst ourselves And cast out the ones we were sent to love? Sewing seeds of bitterness, for the sake of your petty traditions cast your differences aside UNITE!!! We will break the mold of this dying world Laying hold of eternal life Let the weary and burdened soul Come to rest at the cross of Christ Oh weary and burdened, come to rest! Be overwhelmed by the love of God! We are the body of our God, we stand as one We will worship with one voice, we'll shake the earth Rise up brothers and sisters, don't be scared Put your heart on display and worship unashamed With the heart of David, we will scream As we go to war we will shout and sing The church hurt me, I was broken in need of healing They judged me, they mocked me As I was desperately trying to find a way These scars are heavy, they drag me down and make me angry I will forgive, but I will never forget the things they said Let the church unite as one, where we are all welcome as we are! Although we are different, we are all of the same Spirit. When we come together, we are made one Let us set our differences aside So those who have not heard will hear And those who have not seen will see The glory of our King!

Welcome to the lair of the demon The darkest part of myself that I never knew existed Everything I did behind closed doors hides here Festering and growing like a cancer Knight: Hello demon you were very hard to find Creeping in the shadows and hiding behind lies You will no longer play with my mind Your reign is over and it's time for you to die Demon: Hello old friend remember who you are boy You of all people should know I will never die Cut off my head I will multiply There are laws to darkness that you just can't defy The nature of darkness is a beautiful thing Like night after day, it will never stop coming You can wage your wars and crush the fight Slay my hordes but I will retaliate I have stood by for too long Watched you take all I know and love I will no longer stand by It's not in my blood! Knight: I know who I am, I'm a son of the most high You of all people should know of His Sacrifice He crushed you under His foot like the snake you are Your pride dethrone you, You're the failure With His word as my sword, I will cut you down You cower behind lies when the truth comes out Your lies are exposed now, I'm not afraid of you Demon: I've heard enough of your filthy rabble Do you know who I am, I'm the devil, fear me I was the darkness in the corner of your room The black eyes staring back at you I was there in the garden, I despise your kind So I led the first of you to die You all will die Knight: I do not fear you demon, I fear my God As a child, you'd come in the night terrors You were a coward, preying on a boy that was scared I learned one thing that night, as I was paralyzed by fear Heaven opened wide, my God heard my prayer As surely as the sun sets at night The sun will rise and bring the light You will burn in the fire that you made For the rest of eternity Goodbye demon the truth has won Go back to the pit where you came from You are now stripped of your power Say goodbye to your throne Demon: You think this is over? This battle has just begun I'm not the only one you must confront I believe two wolves await Beyond the next gate

This is our war a fight for their souls Free them from the clutches of the devil Jesus, break the chains and set the captives free This is our war, this is our calling Men stand tall and fight We will answer the lost cries Screaming and pleading For a small glimpse of the light The agony will end, Hear me The tormentors will become the tormented Hear me! The tormentors will become the tormented And the captives will be set free This is our war To set the captives free Don't give up there is still hope We will fight for you, we will fight for you!

There is a fire burning from within It rages it roars like a lion The darker side of me, the side no one sees I pray you never see! This is a tale of two wolves The darkness and the light at war Two wolves fight for control Only the strongest one will prevail I foolishly feed the evil wolf While the light in me slowly starves The Dark Wolf Full of malice and greed he's always angry always stealing A trickster and a thief He is the dark side the monster within me Black as night, blotting out the light It's a never-ending fight He is a master of lies He will take my mind and make me think I'm more alive When my flesh is satisfieeed! This dark entity dwells within us all If you are not watchful he will lead you straight to a deadfall Be warned by the story of these two wolves Lest you stray onto a path leading to the depths of hell Hell is not a place you want to spend eternity Where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth The dark wolf he is powerful His anger and greed are unmatched, His power it's hard to resist SATISFY MY FLESH!!! It's intoxicating, I'm intoxicated This is a tale of two wolves The darkness and the light at war Two wolves fight for control Only the strongest one will prevail I foolishly feed the evil wolf While the light in me slowly starves The Light Wolf Full of joy and peace he's always humble always loving Faithful and true He will never leave nor forsake you He is kindhearted and a force to be reckoned with You defy His temple and harm His people You awaken the fire in his eyes It's time to purge the temple of these filthy thieves I must feed the good wolf and make the evil flee! (The Light Wolf) "Oh, Dark Wolf, you sat on my throne Like a wolf among sheep, you slaughtered my people There is no punishment worthy of your sins I am awakened and strong now you will be The one to starve, You will starve." Hear my words dear son, heed this warning This is a war that goes on inside us all The wolf you feed will be the one in control!

Rally to the......King!!! Gather your strength it's time for war We fought all through the night Covered in blood but we survived The darkness closes in again Will this struggle ever end? Make ready for battle my friends I hear them shrieking in the distance Send word to all the troops We await the King's command But my lord the king is dead He gave himself over to be crucified No, my King is not dead I saw Him for He has risen He is coming to lead us to victory We will fight and win What? No man can rise from the dead We should tell our troops to run The legions are too many, Our soldiers are few and their strength is fading Have you no faith to remember what the King said? His sacrifice was not in vain, He will return again He is King of kings and LORD of lords Remember His words, "I will return." The sun rises, I see someone in the distance It's the King, It's the King He's returned Oh, King, you were crucified, how are you alive? (King) "Death couldn't hold me, my grave lies empty I command the mountains and the seas All of Hell will bow before me From under the ashes of a fallen world I will make a new beginning O death where is your sting? O Hades...Where is your victory NOW???? I crushed you under my feet All who are weary and heavy-laden come to me!! You will find rest and eternal peace I carried the weight of every sin To bridge the gap between The Father and all His children You are heirs to the Kingdom Come and follow me!" Brothers let us Rally to the King!!! To the King, To the King Brothers let us rally to the King To the king, To the King let us rally to the King To the King, To the King Brothers let us rally to the King To the King, To the King Brothers let us rally to the King RALLY TO THE KING!!!

After the words of condescending men Crushing a little boy's dreams And out of the ashes of failures and fallen dreams A spark is fanned into a flame A heart full of fire and faith THE HEART OF THE RESILIENT!!! You will never crush my faith My God will set fire to your idols He will burn your precious altars To nothing, like what you did to my dream You don't know what I've been through You don't know what I've done Fighting a constant war just to keep the spark of a dream alive Will you ever amount to anything? You sound like the devil in my head Your condemning and condescending words are ROOTED IN HELL!!! You ask why I'm still here chasing this dream Well the answer is clear after all the pain I AM RESILIENT!!! No man can stop me, I will never quit Just try and stop me, You'll see! You can't stop one who is driven You will not drag me down to an empty grave After I die, these words will resonate The world has spent lifetimes, searching for what I've found But you say to quit?? NO!!!! Send storm after storm, By my GOD I'll still be here stronger than ever If you want to play with fire you're gonna get burned Mess with me you will regret that day This is my passion, my inspiration to keep going, no matter what life throws at me. Belittle everything, every victory you crush to nothing Well keep spitting your poison, all your words are is a fan for the flame AND IT GROWS EVERYDAY YEAH!!! Your words are a constant reminder, of every crushing failure That I endured just to get here They echo in my head like a recurring nightmare (Haunting Voices) "You're nothing, You will never amount to anything, You're a loser, You will never make it, No one hears you." SHUTUP!!! I will bend but I will never break Your words are just fuel for the fire You will never have the last word So keep your forked tongue behind your teeth VIPER!!! Now hand me a match I'll set this heart on fire see your cowardly words be engulfed in the flame Watch me.....BURN!!! Watch...Me...Burn!!! See your words burn to nothing They are not the words of God His are everlasting All you do is spit poison and destroy You're not the love of Christ, You're a wretched disease!!! You will not drag me down to an empty grave After I die, these words will resonate The world has spent lifetimes, searching for what I've found But you say to quit?? NO!!!! Send storm after storm, By my GOD I'll still be here stronger than ever If you want to play with fire you're gonna get burned Mess with me you will regret that day You only get one life to lead, I will not waste it sitting and wondering What might have been if I chose a different path This world is full of pain whether you have money or nothing If I'm going to suffer I will do it gladly While working towards my dream I refuse to settle and let this die This is who I am, This is who God made me to be!!!

This is not a crusade To destroy someone else's Beliefs thoughts or dreams This is a crusade to overthrow the evil within myself I'm not perfect, I've come to find the worst parts of me are what I judge in those around me I am everything that I hate!
11.
If you're sick and tired of feeling like a slave come with me This is more than just music, it's my story, my journey To the deepest darkest part of me I'm on a crusade to crush what lurks underneath I take a closer look at myself Come to find hell had the throne for so long, I've pointed at everyone else It's time I confront this evil The anger, the fury, it all dwells within me lust and greed, everything I hate How could I have been so blind all this time they dwelled inside feeding on my judgment, feeding on my rage Oh God forgive me I've become my own worst enemy The evil, it grows quickly I pray God rip it from me! It's hard when you wake up in the middle of a war With a heart of stone What is this monster I've become Fall asleep and the Devil will take everything Drowning in the consequences of my actions I've gone far astray Longing for my Father's presence All it takes is a step of faith I'm afraid to face the evil within The time is right now God give me courage It's time to make a STAND! The greatest enemy I must face on this great crusade IS ME!!!

To the voices of the martyrs We will raise our fist and shout To the building of the Kingdom To fulfilling the great commission This is the Missionar'ys anthem GO! Called out of darkness and sent to a foreign land My home is now behind me and the world lies ahead I hear a voice calling, it echos from within I loved you bled for you and redeemed you Now go into the world shine brighter than the sun My brothers and sisters are living in a war zone To fight the good fight and bring the people hope Stabbed in the streets for what they believe They sacrificed everything to meet someone else's needs Dragged to prisons, beat and tortured Treated like a beast, to save a soul for eternity God hear my prayer, protect my brothers and sisters Give them courage in the face of overwhelming fear Crush the giants that stand before them give them the heart of David My God be their unshakable hope when despair is at the door When they feel alone let your spirit overwhelm You are a light in the darkest pit of hell For my brothers and sisters stand and raise your fists To The Missionary's Anthem!!! We are spread across the earth On the tops of mountains and deep in the forests Sent forth to be a beacon of hope in this dark world We are the fire that no army from hell can put out An eternal flame ignited bt the Holy One This is our call to show the world His love And to fight off the evil wolves that dwell within us We will remember The Voice Of The Martyrs God hear my prayer, protect my brothers and sisters Give them courage in the face of overwhelming fear Crush the giants that stand before them give them the heart of David My God be their unshakable hope when despair is at the door When they feel alone let your spirit overwhelm You are a light in the darkest pit of hell For my brothers and sisters stand and raise your fists To The Missionary's Anthem!!! My children hear these words, you are My hands and feet NOW GO PLANT A CHURCH!!! Some are meant to sew the seeds, others will reap Build the Kingdom, remember the Missionary's Anthem!!!
13.
You filthy miserable serpent and your army of demons Crawling in the dirt like the cursed creatures Biting at my feet and injecting your disease How have I been so blind and not seen? I am awakened, the white wolf burns bright Your evil wolf is starving and out of sight We will take back the fight Cut Off The Head Of The Snake!!! You wish to remain unseen but the light is growing A beautiful day is coming A light undying A light without ENDING!!! You sent the demon and the dark wolf Deep asleep I would have never known But by God, I awoke, I awoke to the sounds of war You bury the truth in a mountain of lies Your own sin will be your demise It's time to strike, Your weak without your lies!!! Cunning as you are great serpent The white wolf can smell your lies Enticing me and leading me away He keeps me awake He will lead me to your grotesque den Where I will cut off your head!!! I cut off the head of the snake Watch the body wither and die I will bury its head deep within the mountain Your legions of demons are scattered You are nothing but a head You will drown in your own poison This is where it ends This is where it ends Pre...pare...for...your end I...hear...the sound...of Armageddon Gather your legions of demons From all corners of the world At the battle of Armageddon My God will reign down Fire... FIRE FROM HEAVEN!!!!!!!!

about

The Crusades Against Hell, Fire From Heaven's second full-length album! This album has a main storyline with a few songs here and there that have the theme of war but are not part of the main storyline.
The main story is about a Knight awakening from a very deep sleep at the top of a mountain to the sounds of war. Finding several great enemies who had led armies from hell to plunder and take control of his lands.
He was furious and The God of all creation met Him and told him to prepare himself for battle, as He Himself the LORD was going to lead them To War against the legions and their leaders.
The leaders Were, The Demon, The Dark Wolf, and The Serpent.

I don't want to go into too much depth about the story, but I plan to possibly write a small book containing more detail than what the album gives too.
This story is based on my life and basically my life if it was a medieval fantasy. (I wish it was!)
