WAR SCROLL — COLUMN VI THE SEVENFOLD STRIKE [Driving modern guitars, heavy bass, live drums and military brass] [Verse 1 — The Three Divisions] Seven times they cast their weapons, Then return to their appointed place. Three divisions of the infantry, Advance between the lines arrayed. The first division casts seven darts, Against the enemy's battle line. Upon the blade of the first is written, A flashing spear for Elohim's might. Upon the second weapon written, Sparks of blood, His wrath declared. To bring the fallen by His anger, The judgment of Elohim is there. Upon the third dart shall be written, A flaming sword that shall devour, The slain of wickedness by judgment, The judgment of Elohim's power. [Chorus — Heavy rock band and military brass] SEVEN TIMES! SEVEN TIMES! Then return unto their stations! THE MIGHT OF ELOHIM! THE JUDGMENT OF ELOHIM! SEVEN TIMES! SEVEN TIMES! According to the battle order! THE MIGHT OF ELOHIM! THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL! [Verse 2 — The Two Divisions] Each of these shall cast seven times, And each return to its appointed place. Then two divisions of the infantry, Advance between the battle lines. The first bears spear and shield, The second carries shield and sword. To bring down the slain by judgment, And subdue the enemy's battle line. By the mighty strength of Elohim, To repay the nations for their evil. The nations lifted up in vanity, Their recompense shall come upon them. The kingdom belongs to Elohim, The Elohim of Israel! Among the holy ones of His people, He shall accomplish mighty deeds! [Verse 3 — The Cavalry Formations] Seven ranks of horsemen take position, On the right and on the left. Seven hundred horsemen on one side, Seven hundred on the other. Two hundred horsemen with a thousand, From the infantry shall go. On every side of the encampment, The mounted ranks shall take their stations. Four thousand and six hundred men, And fourteen hundred mounted men, Arranged for the whole battle formation, Fifty for each battle line. Six thousand in the mounted force, Five hundred for each tribe. According to the ancient order, The horsemen take their place. [Chorus — Powerful male harmonies, guitars and brass] SEVEN HUNDRED ON EACH SIDE! TWO HUNDRED WITH A THOUSAND MEN! FOUR THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED! FOURTEEN HUNDRED MORE! SIX THOUSAND IN THE FORCE! FIVE HUNDRED FOR EACH TRIBE! THE MIGHT OF ELOHIM! THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL! [Verse 4 — The Horses of War] The horses going forth to battle, With the infantry shall ride. Stallions swift upon their feet, Responsive to the hand that guides. Enduring horses, fully grown, Trained and ready for the war. Accustomed to the sounds of battle, And every sight before their eyes. [Verse 5 — The Horsemen] The riders shall be men of valor, Trained in warfare and in riding. From thirty years to forty-five, Their appointed ages known. The horsemen of the greater formation, From forty years unto fifty. Their ranks and stations are appointed, According to the rule of war. [Bridge — Military snares, distorted guitars and rising brass] Helmets and greaves are named, Round shields carried in their hands. A mighty spear of eight cubits, The measurement within the plan. Bows and arrows, battle darts, Prepared according to their stations. To shed the blood of guilty enemies, The surviving words declare. [Final Chorus — Full modern rock band and military brass] SEVEN TIMES! SEVEN TIMES! The weapons cast and men return! SEVEN RANKS OF HORSEMEN! On the right and on the left! THE KINGDOM OF ELOHIM! THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL! Among the holy ones of His people, He shall accomplish mighty deeds! THE MIGHT OF ELOHIM! THE JUDGMENT OF ELOHIM! THE KINGDOM OF ELOHIM! THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL! [Heavy guitars and military brass unite, thunderous final cadence]
