With Sword and Spear Lyrics

Come forth, stretch forth thy hand
Defender of the light
Pierce scales, born of night
The beast that stood upon the sand
With sword and spear
Against the dragon of old
Burns fire untold
With every flash of the sword of God
Crumbles the tower of sand
Drive the spear through his flesh
His plan to failure and fire
Cast down forevermore the defiler
Words of true legend taking flight
The patron saint of western light
Your reward is suffering
Scourged by the scales you sentenced to die
For the eagle has changed to dragon
Stand on your feet, and you shall be on high
Be led forth, bound by the hands
Like the cloud that surrounds you
The world unworthy of them
Bring forth the light
Bow down, rise!
(Rise, rise)
Rise! Above the skies!
(Rise, rise)
Bow down, rise!
(Rise, rise)
Rise! Rise! Above the skies!
With every flash of the sword of God
Crumbles the tower of sand
Drive the spear through his flesh
His plan to failure and fire
Cast down forevermore the defiler
(Rise, rise, rise, rise...)
Like the phoenix
Like the Son
Like the heroes of old
Like the ancient ones
