Battle Fall

A cosmic duel for your day.

An angel with a flaming sword
Falling from the sky
A devil with a wicked plan
And not afraid to die.
Mortals stand between the foes
Their lives yet their own.

A silent world holds its breath
A decision yet to come.
A mortal hope and mortal flesh
Guard both house and home.
The sword of flame forward goes
The devil now is known.

Yet mortal heart in courage stands
To greet that flaming sword
And Devil’s might shakes again
At Angel’s holy word.
Between the two shelter still
The mortals who yet live.

The Angel’s wings spread o’er the field
And o’er the weakened men
And Devil’s blows fall thick and wild
To make them bow again.
But Angel wings hold Angel will
And guard those who still believe.
