about

This is a song that we did for a VIP fan weekend a number of years back. We wrote the song shortly before the weekend then we recorded all the tracks in one day in front of a cool group of fans at Dark Horse Studios.

lyrics

Shadow of the Cross

(V1)
San Miguel in Santa Fe New Mexico
The oldest chapel remains
There tolls a bell of conquest over savage souls
For the King of heaven and the king of Spain
Faithful and virtuous?
It seems incredulous
The crucifix, the soldier and the slave

(Chorus)
Let the light conquer fear
We have been two thousand years
In the shadow of the cross
May our eyes become clear
After a hundred thousand tears
In the shadow of the cross

(V2)
True believer
What are you fighting for?
Who are you so afraid of?
Lay down your sword and shield
Study war no more
Show the hand of mercy, the heart of love
Blessed are the peacemakers
Blessed are the peacemakers
The children of the Lord

(Bridge)
Blessed are the ones who mourn
They will be comforted
Hear the voices of the fallen innocent
