The Front Lines 

by Ashes Todd of Silhouette A.D.

Day one on, their first words - lies.
Like snakes that won't be charmed
stand back, get armed.

Drowning in our mess, powerless and sick
our capitals city's a ghost town
looted, trashed, and overrun  by foxes and rats.
I expect you be there.

Theres a daily war, it rages on and on
Demons verses Angels verses me
I'm beaten, broken and tired. They threaten again
I expect you to be there.

"Don't Panic! I'll be up front with you.
The Demons, they will push
they will try to turn you."

This is a battle. This is the battle.
I have been waiting for.
I promise, I will be up front, waiting.
I will be up front with you.

THIS IS THE BATTLE !

some of us are in the battle for the souls of men............................

Whats that we see in the distance?     
eyes pouring fire blaze                     
a cloud on the horizon     
like doves darkening the sky    
The countdown has begun    
the terror is on us.         
Dressed in black, you weep most bitterly.     
This is the reality                   
not the illusion.     
you've seen a lot           
but looked at nothing.      
like lost stars in outer space    
on their way to the black hole.      
Whats that we see in the distance?     
The was, the is, the coming              
to demolish, then start over.     
So quit your worship charades                   
I can't stand your trivial religious games.     
instead of climbing up       
you came down.         
now you are nothing as we are.       
The betrayer, betrayed        
His heart is hopelessly dark and decietful.     
But what is that we see coming?   
the day the sky will collapse     
and desecrate the face of the world.    
The countdown has begun       
this is reality.       
Getting to the heart of the human       
We'll treat them as they really are      
not who they pretend to be.     
         This is reality.      
Whats that we see in the distance?      
A white horse and it's rider     
the one light in a dark time.     
blind your eyes    
so that you see nothing    
blind your eyes.    

The ground under our feet mourns    
I desire the end       
when the landscape       
will be a moonscape     
nothing, but a wisp of fog.    
As the blood drains             
from the face of earth     
She'll wake to nothing.    

Again whats that we see in the distance? 
 

spoken like a true warrior. beautiful. i'm passing this along to my kid. thanks & God bless.

wow you guys are so true about all of it. i feel the same way. the youth of america is becoming to dependent on the media, when the entire foundation of their being is Christ. its almost sickening to see "cultural christians" every day all around. they say they're christians, but they don't reflect it in their lives. it gives new christians and non-believers the idea that christianity is based on the idea that we say things, and dont really mean it. i can tell you that most people even in my own church come to church once a week and think that is enough to save them, while they live wordly lives the rest of the week. like they climb the ladder on sundays and just fall right back down to the ground throughout the week. i'm one of the youngest in my youth group, but i was voted as both the youth leader and praise band leader of my youth group. its really sad that a lot of people that i should be looking up to are "cultural christians." in a test we took the other day at church, only three our of 17 could name five of the twelve desciples. somehow, the true believers and followers of Christ have to show the world that we are strong in Faith and we life for a purpose, i mean  REAL purpose. not just to satify wordly needs. i believe that one day, i will truly be able to make a difference. not just in my school to my friends, or at church to the people i set an example for, but for a much larger group of people that have never seen the true power of God in people.

haha well i guess i kinda went off a little but all Christians need to take a stand and fight for what they believe in.

Love the message and the music.  Thanks be to God.  In the scriptures it seems things will get worse before they get better but that does not mean that this generation is to be a part of that.  I hope your words inspire some kids to go out and LIVE!  Thanks for the words and the reminder.  Praise be.

 I am a soldier in the army of my God. The Lord Jesus Christ is my Commanding Officer. The Holy Scripture is my code of conduct. Faith, prayer and the Word are my weapons of warfare. I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by experience, tried by adversity and tested by fire. I am a volunteer in this army, and I am enlisted for eternity. I will not get out, sell out, be talked out or pushed out. I am faithful, reliable, capable and dependable. If my God needs me, I am there. I am a soldier. I am not a baby. I do not need to be pampered, petted, primed up, pumped up, picked up, or pepped up. I am a soldier. No one has to call me, remind me, write me, visit me, entice me or lure me. I am a soldier. I am not a wimp. I am in place, saluting my King, obeying His orders, praising His name and building His kingdom! No one has to send me flowers, gifts, food, cards or candy, or give me handouts. I do not need to be cuddled, cradled, cared for or catered to. I am committed. I cannot have my feelings hurt bad enough to turn me around. I cannot be discouraged enough to turn me aside. I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit. When Jesus called me into this army, I had nothing. If I end up with nothing, I will still come out ahead. I will win. My God has and will continue to supply all of my need. I am more than a conqueror. I will always triumph. I can do all things through Christ. The devil cannot defeat me. People cannot disillusion me. Weather cannot weary me. Sickness cannot stop me. Battles cannot beat me. Money cannot buy me. Governments cannot silence me, and hell cannot handle me. I am a soldier. Even death cannot destroy me. For when my Commander calls me from His battlefield, he will then allow me to rule with Him. I am a soldier in the army, and I’m marching claming victory. I will not give up. I will not turn around. I am a soldier, marching heaven-bound. Here I Stand! Will you stand
