[Intro]
[gothic violin swell over low drum rumble]
[Verse 1]
(Male)
Boots in the dust
Shadows around the fire
Steel in my hands
But my heart sings higher
I hear a hymn
Rising over the choir
Name on my lips
Stronger than the pyre
[Pre-Chorus]
(Male)
I was born in the clash
In the broken ground
But I found Your cross where the spears rained down
[Chorus]
(Male + Female)
You are the banner over my battle
You are the song in the clash and the rattle (oh-oh)
Holy
Holy
Lord of angel armies
Hallelujah
You go on before me
Hands raised high as the war drums thunder
Jesus
Jesus
Pull my fear asunder
Holy
Holy
We will sing Your story
Hallelujah
All the praise
All glory
[Verse 2]
(Female, ethereal)
Light on the field
Pouring through the danger
Peace like a cloak
Falling on the strangers
I see Your face
In the wounded
In the nameless
Crown of all kings
Yet You walk with the blameless
[Pre-Chorus]
(Female)
When the dark shouts loud
You are all I hear
Every trembling heart finds a refuge here (hey!)
[Chorus]
(Male + Female)
You are the banner over my battle
You are the song in the clash and the rattle
Holy
Holy
Lord of angel armies
Hallelujah
You go on before me
Hands raised high as the war drums thunder
Jesus
Jesus
Pull my fear asunder
Holy
Holy
We will sing Your story
Hallelujah
All the praise
All glory
[Bridge]
(Male lead, Female echoes)
If I march through fire (You are my shield)
If I fall in silence (Your mercy heals)
Every chain I carried (breaks at Your name)
Every shout of sorrow (turned into praise, into praise)
[Chorus]
(Male + Female + crowd)
You are the banner over my battle
You are the song in the clash and the rattle
Holy
Holy
Lord of angel armies
Hallelujah
You go on before me
Hands raised high as the war drums thunder
Jesus
Jesus
Pull my fear asunder
Holy
Holy
We will sing Your story
Hallelujah
All the praise
All glory
[Outro]
[violins climb
Drums fade to heartbeat pulse]
