Heaven is calling
But it feels so far away
If my soul could fly
I'd never see the day
When I could rest my wings
Behind the pearly gates
But the thought it brings
Makes me believe in fate
It was just yesterday
That hope still filled my heart
But now it's gone away
It's fading in the dark
I won't see tomorrow
I see them piling high
A world filled with sorrow
And my bonfire arrives
Heaven is calling
And she comes to me
I had my shield before me
I felt the Holy Ghost
I felt His touch restore me
When I needed it most
With power in my fingers
Wrapped around the hilt
Raised my sword above my head
I'm fearfully built
And in the midst of battle
Hidden in blood and smoke
I heard the dying voices
As they sputtered and choked
With a heave of glory
And of holy might
I create a story
And raise my banner high
My battlefield
Destiny revealed
Imperfections in discretion
This infection will not hold me back
Conflagration of this nation
Eradication as a point of fact
I don't blame you, what I gain through
All the flames you throw, my soul's intact
No more hunger, no more wonder
No more thunder, I'm closing the act
Brought my country honor
By the iron hand
Foes were torn asunder
As we freed our land
By a trail of fury
After deathly throes
A sea of weaponry
Everywhere we go
We are gleaming metal
We are breaking bone
We are steaming leather
We are blazing chrome
By the Holy Father
By the name of Christ
We will stand forever
Until finally pay the price
My sword and shield
Eternally wield
Imperfections in discretion
This infection will not hold me back
Conflagration of this nation
Eradication as a point of fact
I don't blame you, what I gain through
All the flames you throw, my soul's intact
No more hunger, no more wonder
No more thunder, I'm closing the act
Looking down the wood pile
At the embers' glow
While my name's been reviled
I'm the only one who knows
Now as the red tongues touch me
Licking at my flesh
I just close my eyes
And know I'm blessed
Imperfections in discretion
This infection will not hold me back
Conflagration of this nation
Eradication as a point of fact
I don't blame you, what I gain through
All the flames you throw, my soul's intact
No more hunger, no more wonder
No more thunder, I'm closing the act
Singe my feathers, scorch my tethers
Live forever as I seal the pact
Soldier rebel, soul disheveled
On this level I go off the track
Mass confusion, soul transfusion
This intrusion turns my skin to black
Sorry rejects cling to defects
Like a phoenix, I'm closing the act
