Verse 1: In shadows cast by steeples high, Where prayers of war are never dry. The battlefield's a canvas stark, Where angels weep and demons hark. Obeyed the call of holy might, Now darkness is my only light. Chorus: My cross to bare, it burns within, A mark of guilt from battles spun. In God's name, we've bled so deep, The sins of war, we cannot keep. My cross to bare, it never rests, For in His eyes, we're all just guests. Verse 2: The choirs sing of love and grace, While bombs of faith leave ash and space. My rifle kissed by sacred flame, Yet still, I feel the stain of blame. The cross upon my back so vast, Can't find the peace that's meant to last. Chorus: My cross to bare, it burns within, A mark of guilt from battles spin. In God's name, we've bled so free, The price of war is paid by me. My cross to bare, it never ends, For in this war, no trumpet mends. Bridge: In the quiet, whispers pray, For souls lost in the fray. The book of life, it tells a lie, As we fight for a heavenly sky. Where is the truth we once knew? Where's the love we're meant to imbue? Chorus: My cross to bare, it burns so bright, A beacon of the wrongful fight. In God's name, we've built this fear, The weight of war is my cross here. My cross to bare, it never bends, A symbol of the war's dark trends. Outro: The war's not holy, just a scheme, Where power hides behind a gleaming dream. Lay down my arms, I dare confess, Find peace in the quiet caress. My cross to bare, no more to share, I'll bear the guilt, but not the snare. Chorus: My cross to bare, it burns so low, A flame that's lost its heavenly glow. In God's name, let love take reign, To heal the wounds of war's cruel chain. My cross to bare, it's now unbare, As I walk towards the light of care. The curtain falls, the war's not near, In faith, I shed the soldier's tear. My cross to bare it's yours and mine, Together, we'll redefine. In God's name, let love be clear, To conquer all, we must dare to hear.
