[Intro – War-horns + Gregorian chant]
Mortificate ergo membra vestra…
Quae sunt super terram
(Colossians 3:5 – “Put to death therefore what is earthly in you”)
[Verse 1 – Crushing 4/4 march]
No truce with the flesh, no treaty with lust,
We fight to the death till the traitor is dust.
The heart is a fortress, the devil lays siege,
Every thought must be taken, no quarter, no peace.
(2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
[Pre-Chorus – Choir + pounding toms]
Non est nobis colluctatio adversus carnem et sanguinem
Sed adversus principatus et potestates!
[Chorus – Massive, galloping]
Bellum! Bellum contra peccatum!
War against sin till the last breath is drawn!
Bellum! Bellum contra peccatum!
No retreat, no surrender, we fight till the dawn!
With the sword of the Spirit and prayer as our shield,
We storm the high places until the flesh yields!
[Verse 2 – Groove-heavy slam]
Flee youthful passions, run hard for the prize,
Pursue righteousness with blood in your eyes.
If your eye makes you stumble, tear it out clean,
Better to enter half-blind than burn in the flame.
(2 Timothy 2:22 / Matthew 5:29-30)
[Verse 3 – Faster, relentless]
Watch at all times, the thief comes at night,
Gird up your loins, stand ready to fight.
Sin crouches at the door, its desire is for you,
Rule over it, brother, or it will rule you too.
(Genesis 4:7)
[Bridge – Slow doom, monk chant]
Vigilate et orate
Ut non intretis in tentationem
Spiritus quidem promptus est
Caro autem infirma
(Matthew 26:41)
[Breakdown – Brutal growls + choir answering]
KILL IT!
Cut it off!
Burn it down!
Leave no root alive!
The old man must die daily,
Crucified with Christ!
(Galatians 5:24)
[Final Chorus – Total war, double-kick storm]
Bellum! Bellum contra peccatum!
Fight like your soul is the prize on the field!
Bellum! Bellum contra peccatum!
Victory belongs to the ones who won’t yield!
I beat my body, make it my slave,
Lest after preaching I myself be disgraced!
(1 Corinthians 9:27)
Bellum! Bellum!
Deus vult!
[Outro – Chant over fading war-drums]
Qui perseveraverit usque in finem
Hic salvus erit
(Matthew 10:22)
Amen.
