Verse 1
In the dawn’s soft light,
Stillness reigns on the battlefield
Where today we’ll fight
And our Captain’s power will be revealed.
But I fear the fray
For my strength is small and my foe is fierce.

Chorus
Hold to the crown 'til the blood runs down my arm,
True to the creed that is written on my heart.
For freedom’s cause I’m prepared to give my life,
This is my warrior’s cry.

Though others flee and the battle rages sore,
I’ll lift the fallen standard to the sky
With the warrior’s cry.

Verse 2
This is my pledge
Through trembling lips:

Though my faith may lack,
By Your grace I commit to You.
I will …

Chorus 2
Hold to the crown 'til the blood runs down my arm,
True to the creed that is written on my heart.
For freedom’s cause I’m prepared to give my life,
This is my warrior’s cry.
Fight to the end, there’s no discharge in this war.
Though others flee and the battle rages sore,
I’ll lift the fallen standard to the sky
With the warrior’s cry.

Music break

Chorus

This is my warrior’s cry.
Fight to the end, there’s no discharge in this war.
Though others flee and the battle rages sore,
I’ll lift the fallen standard to the sky
With the warrior’s cry.
