For the King

Trudging through darkness
Day after day
With a small oil lamp
Lighting my way
Never retreating 
In this land of the dead
I boldly march onward
Where angels fear to tread
Declaring his victory
With each step i take
Knowing id give myself gladly
For eternity's sake
Rescuing children from evil
For the Kingdom they are claimed
I fight not for me
But to the glory of his name
