[Intro – War-horns + Gregorian chant, massive choir]
Qui habitat in abscondito Altissimi,
In protectione Dei caeli commorabitur
(Psalm 91:1)
[Verse 1 – Fast galloping riff, double-kick thunder]
We charge the gates of hell with banners unfurled,
A thousand may fall at our side, ten thousand at our right hand,
But it shall not come near the sons of the Living Word!
(Psalm 91:7)
[Pre-Chorus – Choir roars over rising guitars]
Non timebis a timore nocturno,
A sagitta volante in die!
[Chorus – Huge, anthemic, soaring clean vocals + gang shouts]
Sub umbra alarum Tuarum!
Beneath Thy wings we ride!
Sub umbra alarum Tuarum!
No plague, no terror, no night!
Angels bear us up, demons fall beneath our feet,
Deus vult! Deus vult!
Victory is sweet!
[Verse 2 – Crushing groove, war-drums]
Scuto circumdabit te veritas eius,
Non timebis a timore nocturno!
Thou shalt not be afraid of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor destruction at noon!
(Psalm 91:5-6)
[Verse 3 – Progressive riff, haunting recorder]
Thou hast made the Lord thy refuge, the Most High thy shield,
His angels have charge over thee, on their hands they bear thee still.
(Psalm 91:9-12)
[Bridge – Half-time, massive choir in Latin, then English]
Quia tu es, Domine, spes mea…
Altissimum posuisti refugium tuum!
For Thou, O Lord, art my hope…
Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation!
[Breakdown – Brutal, low growls + choir answering]
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder!
The young lion and dragon shalt thou trample underfoot!
(Psalm 91:13)
CRUSH THEM! CRUSH THEM!
In the name of the King!
[Final Chorus – Explosive, everything at maximum]
Sub umbra alarum Tuarum!
We fear no evil host!
Sub umbra alarum Tuarum!
The battle belongs to the Lord of Hosts!
Because he hath set his love upon Me, I will deliver him,
I will set him on high!
Deus vult! Deus vult!
Angeli eius mandavit de te!
Deus vult!
[Outro – Choir + war-horns, triumphant fade]
Dicit Domino: Refugium meum et fortitudo mea,
Deus meus, in quo confido!
(Psalm 91:2)
Amen. Amen. Alleluia!
