Armor of the Word

[Intro]
March on
Dust in the lungs
Cross on my chest
Fire on my tongue (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Steel boots
On a cracked stone floor
Rosary swung
Like a chain of war
Page-turn thunder
Leather-bound blade
Every verse I quote
Is a cut I made
Knees to the ground
Then I rise, reborn
Armor of the Word
Not a single horn
They said “fall back”
But my faith said “push”
Carved that creed
In the old pine pews
[Chorus]
This is my crusade, in the valley of the shadow
Banner in my hand, I am marching where You say go
Blood on my knuckles, grace on my face
Fighting through the night in the name of faith
Raise that cross like a battle flag
Heartbeats slam like a thunderclap
If the world swings first, I will still stand straight
I was made for war, this holy crusade (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Choir boy
With a cut lip smile
Turned every scar
To a Gospel style
Lion in the pit
But the prayer still roared
Every locked gate shook
When I called You, Lord
Temptation talk
In a silk-soft tone
But I know that voice
It’s a sharpened stone
I walk that road
Where the martyrs fell
Footprints burn
Through the gates of hell
[Chorus]
This is my crusade, in the valley of the shadow
Banner in my hand, I am marching where You say go
Blood on my knuckles, grace on my face
Fighting through the night in the name of faith
Raise that cross like a battle flag
Heartbeats slam like a thunderclap
If the world swings first, I will still stand straight
I was made for war, this holy crusade
[Bridge]
I don’t need a throne
Just a rugged hill
Where the nails went in
And the sky went still
Hands up high
Till the battle’s done
If I fall today
I still rise with the Son (yeah)
[Chorus]
This is my crusade, in the valley of the shadow
Banner in my hand, I am marching where You say go
Blood on my knuckles, grace on my face
Fighting through the night in the name of faith
Raise that cross like a battle flag
Heartbeats slam like a thunderclap
If the world swings first, I will still stand straight
I was made for war, this holy crusade (oh-oh)
[Outro]
March on
Till the last bell rings
Sword in my soul
And a psalm I sing
When the dark calls out
I just speak Your name
Light hits hard
Like a tidal flame

Energy builds from tense march to triumphant battle cry, with occasional halftime drops and shouted gang vocals for a crusade-like rally vibe., violin, beats, saxophone, hip hop, rock, nu metal
