Verse 1
The smoke rose high where our banners flew,
Gunfire cut the morning in two.
I held my breath, felt my heart ignite,
When whispers came through the radio that night.
“Base is gone,” the voices cried,
And in that moment, a piece of me died.
Pre-Chorus
I turned to the sky through the burning haze,
And the world began to end in holy blaze.
Chorus
Trumpets sounded, heaven split the air,
God came down, and the earth laid bare.
I saw souls rising, bathed in golden streams,
And I watched myself dissolve like a dream.
Through the fire and the fear so bright,
I faded away into divine light.
Verse 2
Hell broke open beneath our feet,
Demons screamed in the city streets.
The heavens rained their judgment cold,
As the book of life began to unfold.
Through the chaos, I felt so small,
A soldier lost in the end of it all.
Pre-Chorus
I reached for my rifle, but my hands were gone,
Just a soul being carried by the dawn.
Chorus
Trumpets sounded, heaven split the air,
God came down, and the earth laid bare.
I saw souls rising, bathed in golden streams,
And I watched myself dissolve like a dream.
Through the fire and the fear so bright,
I faded away into divine light.
Bridge
Then I woke in a place beyond the war,
Fields of glory I’d never seen before.
Weapons on my back, I fell to my knees,
Before the throne that calmed the seas.
He looked at me, my heart undone,
And whispered softly, “You are forgiven, my son.”
Final Chorus
Trumpets echoed through the endless sky,
Tears of joy rolled as I closed my eyes.
No more battles, no more night to fight,
Only heaven’s warmth and eternal light.
In His presence, my soul has run,
Home at last… forgiven.
