Lyrics

They came for my kingdom, they tore at my gates They shattered the walls I was called to create I stand in the ruins, my sword in my hand My heart screams for vengeance — but still, here I stand You called me to love, to lead and defend But the rage in my blood cries out for revenge Still You whisper, "Son, be still — Overcome this evil by doing My will." You are the Judge — not I, not I Still I rage and I wrestle through the battle inside This is my battle cry — I bleed, I burn, I break, but I rise I lay down wrath for the sake of Christ I will not trade Your crown for a lie Hold my family, Lord — guard this land This is my kingdom — this is my stand But still, I am only a man This is my battle cry — I will fight for my family, even though I must die. I see their laughter, I hear their lies They dance in the ashes of what You made mine They think I am broken, they think I am weak But they don't know — my prayers will bring Hell to its knees The sword grows heavy, my shield is cracked Still I will fight — I will not turn back I die to myself and rise in Your name I die to myself and rise in Your name I trust Your justice — I trust Your strength You are my God — You do not wane You are the Judge — not I, not I Still I rage and I wrestle through the battle inside This is my battle cry — I bleed, I burn, I break, but I rise I lay down wrath for the sake of Christ I will not trade Your crown for a lie Hold my family, Lord — guard this land This is my kingdom — this is my stand But still, I am only a man This is my battle cry — I will fight for my family, even though I must die. Tear down my pride — break down my hate Strip me of fear — forge me in faith No weapon will prosper — no darkness will stand My God is the fire — and I trust His hand This is my battle cry — I bleed, I burn, I break, but I rise I lay down wrath for the sake of Christ I will not trade Your crown for a lie Hold my family, Lord — guard this land This is my kingdom — this is my stand But still, I am only a man This is my battle cry — I will fight for my family, even though I must die. I die to myself and rise in Your name I die to myself and rise in Your name This is my battle cry — I will fight for my family.... even though I must die.
