This is the Time of War

I tried to write an anthem for the future
What will be and calls to us unseen
Committed by an evil to encounter
Sing for us until we come to be

There will be a war not thought of yet
Those who know it not will know it then
They will be submitted to a test
Sing for us, the future cannot end

Defend the world of light that God has made
Defend the King of light whom we adore
Darkness from above, we are betrayed
Sing for us, this is the time of war
