there is a war you haven't seen
because it is bigger than earth
and only felt in our dreams,
since we were drafted at birth

life and death were at war
our king came and met us on earth
just so we could have a curtain torn
and enter into a second birth

death made a final stride
as we watched our king die
i thought i would have to hide
but death was only the beginning of His battle cry

now i am a soldier in a multiworld war
serving behind a warrior king
who offered to die for me, an unfaithful whore
so i wouldn't be allowed to flirt with hell in a fling

he came to kill death
and claim his right as a husband
and death won't be left breathing
since death's death was perfectly planned

the war is still goin'
and we are charged to fight until death
since that is when we go home
and finally sit in glory finding our rest.

i cannot wait for you to come back down
sometimes i wish i knew the date
when i get to see your crown
but until then i am content to wait

the first time you came
the entire world changed
since the strongest are now the lame
and heaven is no longer out of our range

i was an orphan
and you said i was your son
i ran and you pursued me with loving contortions
until i stopped running and believed it was done

while i am still in-between two lives
you charged me with bringing in your reign
by showing how to make our souls arise
since when you've tasted joy nothing is the same.
