Saints O' Saints

why are you so afraid?
can you not tarry even one hour?
the serpent creeps among us!

even now the enemy is here!
stand strong and sure
unite your hearts together

trim your wicks
all you faithful ones
your eyes must remain open
a little sleep
a little slumber
and we shall be destroyed!
ruin shall overtake us

vigilant
we abide
waiting
with searching eyes

Saints, oh saints!
resist and believe
the hour is upon us now!
rise and prevail
overcome

there is a lion
who seeks to devour all
to destroy our hearts
and crush our spirits
but not us!
we will prevail
we have overcome
do not fall to the wayside
do not let yourselves be decieved!
We are but men
yet to realize our destiny
we are immortals
beautiful and pure
set apart
consecrated for all time

be not afraid
open your eyes
be not afraid!
behold your salvation!

none forsaken
not one forgotton
all shall pass away
none forsaken
rise and prevail
