Verse 1:
We wanted to be heroes
Born for eternity
In a kingdom
Just like our God's
We rolled over the land
An army of hate and rage
Came in like the deluge over Noah
We wanted to be holy
Refrain 1:
Promised land with God's warriors
I pull hand in hand
I sing holy songs for you in the shadow of the cross
I ask for forgiveness
All sins for me
Verse 2:
We should have been angels
Chosen for eternity
In a heathen realm
Made pure from sin through battle
We were drawn in the night
Faith leads the child army
They go east from battle to battle
Over mountains and seas
Refrain 2:
Orient, praise the Lord
Who has sent me to you
Follow the star
The light of religion strikes with the Father's hand
Die in sand for absolution
Choir:
God help me
Free my soul
Sadly I ruin it
Hear me, Lord have mercy
