The Ground And The Sky Lyrics

Open the entrance of my tent

No sleep I found, my time's been spent

Considering should I repent

Before my life is from me rent?

The sun arises, sky is red

When it sets, the ground instead

Wake up the men, it's time to tread

Across the land we will defend

Breathe deep the air, it tastes of sin

Fallen world that's given in

Coat of mail now scrapes my skin

As we march in unison

Collective breath to settle hands

Don't want to take the life of man

Grip tighter still your sword and stand

We won't let fear destroy our land

From quiet to a thunderous roar

What grass is here will be no more

Trampled by what lies in store

Over the hill we're marching towards

Flags and spears crest the peak

Wave after wave of an iron sea

A vivid thought of family

Reminds me why we do not flee

We form a line, chills down my spine

I don't deserve these men of mine

One glance I know they won't resign

My fear inside starts to decline

Suddenly I hear me say

"Charge into the light of day!"

With one voice they all relay

Those words with such a loud display

Sprinting, charging towards the fight

Every step a battle cry

Sweat and fire in our eyes

The sun breaks through a somber sky

A few more yards till we collide

No options now I must decide

In God's hands my soul abide

Time slow down, the end is nigh

The sun arises, sky is red

When it sets, the ground instead
