Battle Cry - Shayfer James

I stumbled out into the cold

Below a thoughtless moon

I saw the phantoms of my friends

But they were gone too soon

Then from the trees my enemies

Began to shout and shriek

Until a silence overwhelmed them

And I began to speak

Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty sound

They’ve come before and many more will try to strike me down

Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty roar

And if you make it out alive

The devil will be waiting by your door

I met a stranger on my way from here

To god knows where

He won my lover in a dirty game of solitaire

He stole my crown and placed it crookedly upon his head

He turned around, I took him down, and this is what I said

Hear my battle cry hear that mighty sound

They’ve come before and many more will try to strike me down

Hear my battle cry hear that mighty roar

And if you make it out alive

The devil will be waiting by your door

You’ll sacrifice the truth to justify your sins

But I don’t need an excuse to let the darkness in

Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty sound

They’ve come before and many more will try to strike me down

Hear my battle cry, hear that mighty roar

And if you make it out alive

The devil will be waiting by your door
