This song is called "Before This War Is Over". As usual, I'm taken back to old days and times, when wars were an everyday occurrence, and yet we now find ourselves in a battle for the hearts and minds of mankind today.
I love to mix old history themes with modern struggles because these themes are timeless and will never expire as long as we are human (let's hope AI doesn't take over, right! 😂).
As you know, I'm a big lover of freedom and liberty and for many years now, I've felt we're all in a big spiritual war; good against evil.
The message of the song is that even in the midst of war, we can have victory. Even in the presence of struggle and great evil, we can prevail, thrive and WIN.
So, though it's a heavier lyrical theme, the real message is victory.
I hope you will love it.
lyrics
We fight together
Ride together
We will thrive together
Before this war is over
We shall dine together
Divide this treasure
Delight forever
Before this war is over
Rain on my face
And on my enemies
As light pierces shapes in the sky
They know their fate
The end of these dark days
Don't be afraid
And don't dismay
When you hear the trumpets sound
It's time to let your voice out
Sharpen your blade
It's time to reign
And now we're gaining ground
It's time to let your voice out
We fight together
Ride together
We will thrive together
Before this war is over
We shall dine together
Divide this treasure
Delight forever
Before this war is over
Blood paints the sky
And the ground red
Your foot rests upon your victory
Their plans exposed
Who now sits upon the throne?
Don't be afraid
And don't dismay
When you hear the trumpets sound
It's time to let your voice out
Sharpen your blade
It's time to reign
And now we're gaining ground
It's time to let your voice out
We fight together
Ride together
We will thrive together
Before this war is over
We shall dine together
Divide this treasure
Delight forever
Before this war is over
Some wounds time won't heal
And now it's time to fight once more
They said "never again"
All lies (and don't forget it)
They'll slay forever
Don't reward a crime (Don't take the bribe)
We fight together
Ride together
We will thrive together
Before this war is over
We shall dine together
Divide this treasure
Delight forever
Before this war is over
