Battle Cry

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I met a stranger on my way to here from 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] You'll sacrifice the truth to justify your sins But I don't need an excuse to let the darkness in You’ll sacrifice the truth to justify your sins But I don't need an excuse to let the darkness in [Chorus] 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 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
