Listen

We will fight

For the Truth

Put the Axe into the Root

Do what’s right

No matter what may come

No matter what they say

No matter what they’ve done

These are the days

Where soldiers are made

Take a stand, don’t be afraid

Make the army, make the army run!

VERSE 1:

There’s a fire in my bones against these idols

This land is wicked man, wicked and defiled

The church is sick man, sitting there and idle

While the abortion holocaust surpasses genocidal

The corpses of the sacrificed, stacked up in a pile

Lift a stench up to the heavens that will saturate for miles

The judgment’s coming, we’ll be gasping for survival

Cuz the pastors have crossed demand for justice out their Bibles

They’ve given all to the state as king.

It’s a basic thing: Your source of law is the faith you bring

You’re either governed by God or ruled by pagan kings

With hearts blacker than the raven’s wings

Kissing Satan’s ring

The hour is dark, and these foolish men

Bout to see the Roman armies encircle Jerusalem

As the sky blacks out the sun

There’s blood in the air!

Ain’t none have fathomed what’s about to come

CHORUS:

We will fight

For the Truth

Put the Axe into the Root

Do what’s right

No matter what may come

No matter what they say

No matter what they’ve done

These are the days

Where soldiers are made

Take a stand, don’t be afraid

Make the army, make the army run

VERSE 2:

The covenant is broken, it’s a covenant with death

They claim the name of Christ, but have a covenant with flesh

They love they life so tight, they rub it in their chest

They choose the idols of the night over their mother in distress

And it’s not just abortion, that’s just the low fruit

They sacrifice the image bearer everywhere, I’ll show you

From immigration to the prison system it is so true

The King State: with the standing army to control you

They will hunt you in the streets, call it the War on Drugs

When its the money and the power that these morons love

These cowards will devour, it’s a war on love

And if you don’t surrender fast they’ll fill you all with slugs

Under the banner of “law and order” all this lawless slaughter

One nation under the lord of Mordor

As the sky blacks out the sun

There’s blood in the air!

Ain’t none have fathomed what’s about to come

CHORUS:

We will fight

For the Truth

Put the Axe into the Root

Do what’s right

No matter what may come

No matter what they say

No matter what they’ve done

These are the days

Where soldiers are made

Take a stand, don’t be afraid

Make the army, make the army run

VERSE 3:

They call us lone rangers, they hate us with a passion
