War has been declared

War has been declared and our night
has mightily be put to test.
Shall we hide in the shadows
or blind the enemy with our light?
Shall we cower before our children
or step out to fight for our motherland?
The winds of despair are approaching 
and the silence of our friends
has betrayed us.
We have been ambushed in our sleep,
our doors broken down with evil agendas.
The pipeline of hope is closing in on us
and the gates are being brought to their knees.
The guards have flown from their bodies
and we are under a great siege.
I pray you open the floodgates of heaven
and restore our faith.
We have been mighty before
and the clouds have crowned us.
We have been untouchable
and nobody could scruffle our feathers.
We have believed before
that the knife that cuts
is broken by our skin. Tough.
And today while we slept,
the enemy approached,
stealthily as if a sinner.
They covered our bases and 
uprooted our defences,
Where were you, O Lord, when we slept?
The King has put his trust in you alone.
Deliver him at his weakest.
Restore him to his stature
and groom him to adore you.


War has been declared and we are going to win.
