Can anybody confirm this information?



1) Intro
2:05, lyrics:
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, "King of kings and Lord of lords". (Revelation 19:11-16, KJV)

2) Rider on a White Horse
3:18, lyrics unknown

3) Rise Your Torches High
2:27, lyrics:
Travelers down this long dark road
Will we make it through this wilderness
Will we live to see the light of day
How long we must fight this curse
All thoughts have drifted to the springs of living water in the land of eternity
Where we will meet the One who has all the knowledge
The One who is our Father
The One who is our God
Where the darkness cannot reach
For He will be our light and the Lamb will be our lamp
Let us see your shining light as we persevere down this long dark road
We will keep our torches burning through the darkest part of night
We will not lose sight of the everlasting light for it is far too bright
Come see the light, He will set fire to your torch, we shall make it through the night
Together we will illuminate the darkness
Setting fire to the lamp within the heart of man
Raise your torches high
Come see the light, He will set fire to your torch, we shall make it through the night


4) Mark of the Beast
3:03, lyrics:
“If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hands, the same shall drink the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation” (Revelation 14:9b-10a)

Prince of darkness speaks boasts of enlightenment
Fill your halls with gold and silver
Let your tongue perverse the ways of this world
Lead your army into its destruction
Let your wickedness reach its full potential
For you will pay the price in full for your abominations
You will taste the lake of fire
Oh Lord come back
Rid us of this evil
Lord, we are waiting for your kingdom
For we will only serve you
Bring your host
Bring your wrath
Bring your everlasting glory

Now listen here, saints
All thee that have an ear:

All those that live for this world
All those that worship the beast and receive his mark
Will suffer great loss

Refuse the mark or die
Refuse the mark or die by the sword of His mouth

Refuse the mark or die by the sword of His mouth...


5) In the Midst of Battle
2:14, lyrics:
Deep in the midst of battle
Beyond the gaze of the eyes of the victim
The serpent sinks his fangs deeper and deeper into the heart of man
Nothing on earth can save him
Death is now taking over his body
Fire spews from the serpent's mouth
Dropping his victim he turns to fight
From the sky the angels fly
Thrusting their swords into the monster
He slithers away only to wait for another day

The everlasting light will guide you to the land
Beyond the fog
Receiving the sword of the righteous
Into the battle he must go

Awakened to the sight of the everlasting light
The lifeless man has risen from the dead
His eyes now open to see the truth
Armed with the sword of righteousness he must stay and face the serpent
He shall be victorious! for he was chosen for this fight
And he can see the light!

The everlasting light will guide you to the land
Beyond the fog
Receiving the sword of the righteous
Into the battle he must go
