The forever battle of good versus evil. |
Pugna Mea Finita Est, Ad Gloriam Volabo. (My Battle Is Done, To Glory I Soar.) A tale of old, told a thousand times or more A battle woven between history and Man’s myth Events took place that day, That would bring us joy in life And in our death, lead us fearlessly home. On a quiet, darkened night Some two thousand years ago An exhausted man, His wife atop as ass, Trudged wearily toward a lowly barn For all the Inns were full but shelter they must. The pair settle down, as in their dreams Angels gathered on high, blinding a starlit sky The couple offer a thankful prayer Sweet voices fill their ears She yearns for rest yet none shall she have. For on this night, amongst the lowing and braying, She labours heavily, to birth Our Saviour. From this day His mother was blessed Fragments of hope whispered Evils of the world were put on notice Her husband by her, under the barn’s watchful gaze, Through the silence of the night, His first cries sound The Angels disperse, the Lord’s star shines proud. Nearby, sheep grazed under shepherds’ tired eyes ‘Hark!’ one cried, all eyes drifted skyward. No longer tired, the shepherds shied, Fearful and confused by Angels amassing above. One spoke, ‘Be not in fear. We have glad news.’ Kings & Daemons, now a weakened enemy Their presence would be tolerated no more The depths of damnation await you Lashing tongues of fire Barbed tails like whips The bodies of the condemned Left flayed, bloodied & burned Warriors of the Lord Take up thy sword Strike with thy shield Their lance thrown piercing my side Pain fuels my resolve His purpose as stated by The Father Seemed simple in its task To speak the word of truth To shine light in the darkness To triumph and lead His children home. Unlike the heretics and idols before Him Word spoken by Him came to pass People knew this to be right Follow they must, belief in their hearts Death will be met with peaceful rest. For to save the innocence Hope depends not on words alone Sound the horns to charge Hear our battle choir Ride to victory We slay the devil foe All fallen and found I am done, I’m coming home The enemy at my back Onto glory I soar |
