Cry of a Warrior
Cry of a Warrior
The beast stood on the outside
Angry he could not get inside
Sent to relieve her of her destiny
For rescuing souls from his revelry
Her body was frail and weak
Upon her bones he did seek
Lord I am too weak to fight
However, in you I put my light
Arch Angels entered the room
Sent to protect by the groom
One went to fight the beast
The other raised her up to feast
Letting go and letting God
Freed the bonds sending His rod
One mighty thrust of his light
Dismembered the beast into the night
This is the presage sent to demand
Release my children! Is my command
Leave their souls whole and untainted
This night in my blood, you are painted
As it is written
So shall it be!
