THE PROMISE

THE PROMISE

OUT OF THE EAST
LIKE THE SUN HE WILL COME
BRIGHT AS AN ARMY READY FOR BATTLE.
STRONG BE HIS VOICE
FOR HIS VOICE WILL BE HEARD
HIGH OVER THE SEA
AND THE SOUND OF ITS THUNDER.

NOW COMES THE WARRIOR, FOR AGES FORETOLD,
TO BATTLE THE GODS, TO, BRING MAN THE FIRE,
TO SLAY THE DRAGON TO DIE IN THE BATTLE,
TO RETURN FROM THE SHADE AND FOUND A NEW CITY,
TO FOUND A NEW CITY, A RACE SET APART.

AND WE BE THAT PEOPLE, THE WARRIOR'S CHILDREN,
THE CHOSEN, THE HOLY, THE RACE SET APART.


STRONG BE OUR SINGING, TO TELL OF HIS GLORY,
TO TELL OF THE WONDERFUL DEEDS HE WILL DO.

LOOK EAST HIS PEOPLE AND BOW YOUR HEADS DOWN
FOR THE LORD HE WILL COME
AND HIS VOICE IS LIKE THUNDER
AND HIS FACE LIKE THE SUN.

PEOPLE LOOK EAST AND BOW YOUR HEADS
FOR THE LORD HE HAS PROMISED
AND THE LORD HE HAS COME.
