Lyrics
In The Presence Of Enemies Pt.1
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I saw a white light, shining there before me
Walking to it, I waited for the end
A final vision promising salvation
A resurrection for a fallen man
Do you still wait for your God
And the symbol of you faith
I can free you from this Hell and misery
You should never be ashamed, my son
I can give you power beyond anything
Trust me, you will be the chosen one
I was forgotten, a body scorned and broken
My soul rejected, tainted by his blood
Beyond redemption, a sinner not worth saving
Forever taken from the one I loved
Do I still wait for my God
And the symbol of my faith
I can lead you down the path and back to life
All I ask is that you worship me
I can help you seek revenge and save yourself
Give you life for all eternity
Servants of the fallen
Fight to pave the way
For their savior's calling
On this wicked day
Through a vail of madness
With a vicious blade
One man rises up
Standing in their way
Redemption, redemption for humanity
