Take up Your Cross

Set the wheel in motion, unleash the wave

This is the wondrous crusade

For the land is bleeding out in the east

And we shall wash their wounds of filth

Somewhere they suffer, somewhere they cry

Somewhere the children are misled, deceived

That's where we are needed, that's where we'll go

That's where the holy light will shine again

Steel my shaking heart

Bleeding realm

Despite the courage I show, it's fear that's running strong below

Steel my shaking heart

Bleeding realm

No matter what they might say, I still can't bring myself to cheer

Take up your cross, do not fear what's to come

Never you mind all the pain

Live for today

Take up your cross, do not fear what's to come

Never you mind all the pain

Live for today

This hand directs me, that voice commands

What choice then only rests with me?

On day of judgement, you cannot say "It was my order to do so"

Despite my calmness, I toil inside

There's not a beam of light and I'm alone

God's light has left me, I hear a hum

Nothing for me to sense but moss and stone

Steel my shaking heart

Bleeding realm

Despite the courage I show, it's fear that's running strong below

Steel my shaking heart

Bleeding realm

No matter what they might say, I still can't bring myself to cheer

Somewhere they suffer, somewhere they cry

Somewhere the women are caged, held down

That's where we are needed, that's where we'll go

That's where the holy light will shine again

Steel my shaking heart

Bleeding realm

Despite the courage I show, it's fear that's running strong below

Steel my shaking heart

Bleeding realm

No matter what they might say, I still can't bring myself to cheer

Take up your cross, do not fear what's to come

Never you mind all the pain

Live for today

Take up your cross, do not fear what's to come

Never you mind all the pain

Live for today
