1) Prelude
2:34, instrumental
2) War Cry
3:14, lyrics:
fighting with the king by my side
he is lord over all the lands
i feel the light,the heat
from this sword held in my hands
broad and tall, these shields we hold
long and sharp, our blades
one more demon headless now
as blood, like rain, cascades
i try to look them in the eye
to watch them breath their last
they look away because of light
from He who stays steadfast
i feel no pain from these small wounds
their swords are made of wood
even cold steel can't
make evil triumph over good
our king He charges toward these gates
that are as black as night
crushing all that's in His path
with satan in His sights
He's screaming out His war cry
from holy, perfect lips
this juggernaut repeats
with every demon throat he rips
your time has come now lucifer
no more will you tell lies
you can not hide yourself
satan from my all-seeing eyes
3) Kings of Old
5:04, lyrics:
the kings of old
were set apart
with a burning desire
and a warrior's heart
on the things of God
they loved to dwell
the only things that could save them from hell
but times have changed
that life was hanged
they no longer love
that from above
the kings anew
perverse at heart
'tis now the common that must be set apart
follow me brethren
we rise against the tide
from the forces of darkness
we shall not hide
4) The Swordsmen Song
3:21, instrumental
5) Psalm Which Speaks of Legends
4:28, lyrics:
the cords of death entangled me
overcome was i with sorrow
sheol came upon me
and i was afflicted
but precious, in the sight of the Lord,
is the death of His saints
oh Lord, truly, i am thy servant
you have cast off my chains
bow down
fall to your knees
and look away lest you be blinded
revert thine eyes lest they melt from your sockets
fall upon your face and feed upon the dust of the ground
dare not to raise your head high, the Lord comes
maranatha
we are like sand before Him
and our feeble flesh melts like wax
in His presence our will is crushed by His
and yet He looks upon us with love
like His own children
down down storm the gates
hell cannot withstand the fury of the Lord
and heaven cannot contain it
we are the servants of the Lord
in His spirit we create legends
and one day
all of our souls will be loosed from our flesh
and we will judge the angels
6) White Blades Through Black Hearts
3:32, lyrics:
there are screams in the wind tonight
demons to your left and angels to your right
forget all that you were taught to feel
erase in this moment what you thought was real
darkness creeps in and pierces the night
but angels stand behind you, robed in white
these legions of angels draw their swords
and raise a cry to the approaching hordes
one after another, the sons of pride
fall before angelic steel
white blades pierce black hearts
still they blaspheme the Lord's name
even in the midst of defeat their hearts are hardened
and their dead keep to themselves
leave not one standing
let not one be left alive to bury the dead
the battle belongs to the Lord
in Him is our victory
leave not one standing
let not one be left alive to bury the dead
the battle belongs to the Lord
in Him is our victory
7) Angel of Light
3:17, lyrics:
the brightest of angels
haunting beauty masks your ill intent
satan, deceiver, your pride is an infection
your eyes burn beautifully with hatred
your carrion heart is as cold as winter's chill
spread your furious wings and take flight to deceive the earth
heart full of terror for your time is short
8) Through Hell
4:26, lyrics:
why must we watch loved ones go through living hell
suffering physical pain, even mental tribulation
though their souls are pure
while the wicked walk the earth free of affliction
i've asked these questions so many times
and learned through revelation of elegant suffering
that some must walk through earthly hellfire for the sake of the cause
and it is these few, beautiful souls that open our eyes to the heavenly realms
it is because of these loved ones
and what we have seen in their strength and determination
that you cannot shut our eyes to the glory that is to come
9) Bring Them the Morning Star
4:45, lyrics:
from the time we are old enough to ask questions we are taught that it is our
duty to bring them the morning star
taught that we are to spread our beliefs to those who have not heard
but what do you believe
and why do you believe it
these are the most important questions you will ever answer to yourself
but you must let the holy spirit of Christ lead you in search for the
answers that you seek
for though we must bring them the morning star
we must know our own reason for doing so
not the reason given to us by others
this is what it means when we are told to
work out our own salvation through fear and trembling
10) Remembrance
6:02, lyrics:
any pain
every hurt
all your fears
and every trial and tribulation
you can think of or imagine
he can carry you through it
even if it feels like hell
2:34, instrumental
2) War Cry
3:14, lyrics:

INFO:
1) The band split up in 2006. Metal Archives states the band got back together in November 2008. However, this conflicts with the release of their "A Triumphant Return" single, which was supposedly released in 2007. Can anyone clear this up? 2) The rest of the lyrics. 3) When was the "Prelude" EP released? 4) How could the "A Triumphant Return" single have been released on Bombworks if they didn't even get signed to Bombworks until 2009??? 5) Are the 2009 releases in the correct order? 6) Is the version of "White Blades ..." the demo version, or the newer version?
IMAGES:
1) Better versions of the top two logos. 2) "Prelude". 3) "A Triumphant Return". 4) A version of "Through Hell" that's both high res AND high quality. 5) Larger version of the logo shown below?
Miscellaneous stuff:
Logo from PureVolume. Sadly this is the highest res I can find right now.
