Standing in the Storm

(Verse 1) The shadows stretch across the star-lit sky, As distant voices raise their battle cry. The conquerors march with hearts made cold as stone, To claim the universe and make it their own. They bring their iron wrath and fiery might, To sweep away the dawn and leave the night. But in the doorway stands a quiet grace, A gentle stranger with a gentle face. (Chorus) When the storm begins to roar and thunder falls, And shadows gather round the outer walls, No sword is drawn, no heavy armor worn, Just steady truth before the rising morn. For love will stand when every empire breaks, And light remains for every heart that wakes. (Verse 2) "Surrender now," the ruthless masters shout, "There is no hope, no secret way turned out!" They count their armies and their towering steel, Demanding that the universe should kneel. Yet calmly standing at the battle's edge, The traveler offers up a sacred pledge: To guard the innocent, to hold the line, Protected by a wisdom more divine. (Chorus) When the storm begins to roar and thunder falls, And shadows gather round the outer walls, No sword is drawn, no heavy armor worn, Just steady truth before the rising morn. For love will stand when every empire breaks, And light remains for every heart that wakes. (Verse 3) No laser blasts or cruel revenge returned, No bitter malice where the hatred burned. With open hands and words that pierce the dark, A single mercy strikes a grander spark. The proud fall backward in their own design, While truth prevails along the ancient line. The weakest soul is lifted from the dust, Restored in grace, renewed in holy trust. (Chorus) When the storm begins to roar and thunder falls, And shadows gather round the outer walls, No sword is drawn, no heavy armor worn, Just steady truth before the rising morn. For love will stand when every empire breaks, And light remains for every heart that wakes. (Verse 4) Through century and star, the conflict turns, Yet in this traveler's heart the fire burns. To heal the broken and to set them free, A servant bound to mercy's victory. Though darkness tries to swallow up the day, A single candle drives the night away. The tyrants vanish like the morning mist, By quiet strength and gentle hope dismissed. (Chorus) When the storm begins to roar and thunder falls, And shadows gather round the outer walls, No sword is drawn, no heavy armor worn, Just steady truth before the rising morn. For love will stand when every empire breaks, And light remains for every heart that wakes. (Verse 5) So let the darkness rage against the dawn, The light endures, the traveler presses on. With faith that triumphs over fear and strife, Defending every precious spark of life. Eastward and onward through the endless blue, Reborn in purpose, ever made anew. A beacon shining for the lost to see, A silent warrior for humanity. (Chorus) When the storm begins to roar and thunder falls, And shadows gather round the outer walls, No sword is drawn, no heavy armor worn, Just steady truth before the rising morn. For love will stand when every empire breaks, And light remains for every heart that wakes.
