Battle Cry Intro (First 5 Seconds) [Massive war horn + drums] Leader: Men of the storm… who is our King? Crowd: CHRIST ALONE! Leader: What must we do? Crowd: LAY DOWN THE CROWN! [War drums explode] BOOM… BOOM… BOOM… BOOM… Male Choir: Ho! Fear the Lord Ho! Stand strong Ho! Hold the line All life long ⸻ Verse 1 Raised to carry iron Never bow the knee Fight the storm in silence Stand like oak and tree Hide the weight of battle Never let it show But the war inside a man’s heart Is the hardest war we know ⸻ Build You can win a thousand battles You can conquer every town But the hardest fight a warrior fights Is laying his pride down ⸻ [Chant Drop] [Drums stop] Leader: Who saves the soul? Crowd: CHRIST ALONE Leader: What must we do? Crowd: LAY DOWN THE CROWN ⸻ Chorus Lay down the crown Lay down the pride Lose your life Find new life Grace pulls you out From the grave you found Follow Christ Lay down the crown ⸻ Rowing Chant [Heavy Viking drum rhythm] Ho! Pull the oar Ho! Strike the sea Ho! Fear the Lord Ho! Walk free Ho! Stand firm Ho! Hold fast Christ our Rock Truth lasts ⸻ Verse 2 The world says never bend, son Stand above the rest But the King who made the heavens Says the humble heart is blessed Strength is not a hardened soul Or fists that never yield True courage is surrender On the Savior’s battlefield ⸻ Chorus Lay down the crown Lay down the pride Lose your life Find new life Grace pulls you out From the grave you found Follow Christ Lay down the crown ⸻ Scripture Bridge [Drums fade / choir chant] If anyone would follow Me He must deny himself Take up his cross And follow Me (Luke 9:23) I have been crucified with Christ And I no longer live But Christ lives now in me (Galatians 2:20) ⸻ [Tribal Stomp Chorus](Viral Section) STOMP STOMP STOMP Lay down the crown STOMP STOMP STOMP Lay down the pride STOMP STOMP STOMP Lose your life STOMP STOMP STOMP Christ alive ⸻ War Chant Die to self Rise again Die to self Rise again Old life buried Chains undone New creation Has begun (2 Corinthians 5:17) ⸻ Final Anthem Chorus Lay down the crown Lay down the pride Step from the dark Into the light Lose your life Find new life Jesus reigns Christ alive Lay down the crown ⸻ Outro Chant Ho!
