Take up Your Cross

Set the wheel in motion, unleash the wave
 This is the wondrous crusade
 For the land is bleeding out in the east
 And we shall wash their wounds of filth
 Somewhere they suffer, somewhere they cry
 Somewhere the children are misled, deceived
 That's where we are needed, that's where we'll go
 That's where the holy light will shine again
 Steel my shaking heart
 Bleeding realm
 Despite the courage I show, it's fear that's running strong below
 Steel my shaking heart
 Bleeding realm
 No matter what they might say, I still can't bring myself to cheer
 Take up your cross, do not fear what's to come
 Never you mind all the pain
 Live for today
 Take up your cross, do not fear what's to come
 Never you mind all the pain
 Live for today
 This hand directs me, that voice commands
 What choice then only rests with me?
 On day of judgement, you cannot say "It was my order to do so"
 Despite my calmness, I toil inside
 There's not a beam of light and I'm alone
 God's light has left me, I hear a hum
 Nothing for me to sense but moss and stone
 Steel my shaking heart
 Bleeding realm
 Despite the courage I show, it's fear that's running strong below
 Steel my shaking heart
 Bleeding realm
 No matter what they might say, I still can't bring myself to cheer
 Somewhere they suffer, somewhere they cry
 Somewhere the women are caged, held down
 That's where we are needed, that's where we'll go
 That's where the holy light will shine again
 Steel my shaking heart
 Bleeding realm
 Despite the courage I show, it's fear that's running strong below
 Steel my shaking heart
 Bleeding realm
 No matter what they might say, I still can't bring myself to cheer
 Take up your cross, do not fear what's to come
 Never you mind all the pain
 Live for today
 Take up your cross, do not fear what's to come
 Never you mind all the pain
 Live for today
