Holy Ground

I didn't come alone this time
I brought heaven to the front line
Banners high, crosses raised
Steel baptized in sacred names
They told me rule with iron hand
I said: No, this is God's command
When faith marches side by side
Every doubt gets crucified

I don't question, I obey
That's what keeps the fear away
If the blood falls in a prayer
Then the stain was never there

This is holy ground we take
Every scream's a vow we make
Kneel or break, repent or die
Salvation waits on the other side
I don't need mercy, I don't need shame
God will carry all the blame
If heaven wants this land in flames
Then let it burn in His name

I don't hate you, I don't rage
I just cleanse the unbelief
You're not my enemy tonight–
You're a problem for the faith
They'll carve my name into the stone
Call me chosen, call me throne
But every crown that heaven gives
Demands a debt the earth must live

They taught me doubt is how you fall
That questions make the devil call
So I closed my eyes and swung the blade
Certain souls were being saved

This is holy ground we take
Every scream's a vow we make
Kneel or break, repent or die
Salvation waits on the other side
I don't need mercy, I don't need shame
God will carry all the blame
If heaven wants this land in flames
Then let it burn in His name

Deus vult
Deus vult
If God is with us–
Who's against us?

This is holy ground we steal
Blessed wounds we'll never feel
When the sword feels justified
Every sin gets sanctified
I don't hear children when they cry
I hear hymns in perfect time
If heaven needed bodies piled
Then God will sort them–
Not my crime

Faith doesn't wash the blood away
It just teaches us
Not to see it
