about

This single version will NOT be released as part of an album but there is an album version featuring more lyrics and guitar on the album 'the prohecies of Calvin Zwyngli' available under my usic collection here in bandcamp.
Musically:
Rock, Progressive Rock with a strong triumphant feel
Context:
Mikha’el is the commander of the hosts of El and he is always prepared to do battle with Apollyon and his demons. The Guardian is greater than Mikha’el – he is the son of El and is watching over proceedings ensuring that the victory, which he has already secured, comes to pass.
[“And the light shines on in the darkness, but the darkness has not overcome it.” The extra-biblical document found at Qumran, is properly titled The War of the Sons of Light with the Sons of Darkness.
“The light is with you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you.”
To those later individuals to whom the Fourth Gospel was written, and to every person since, the words of Jesus are also a warning: There is a finite, limited time in which each individual has opportunity to respond to the Light of the world (i.e., Jesus); after that comes darkness. One’s response to the Light decisively determines one’s judgment for eternity.]

lyrics

Verse 1
The guardian stands alert and watchful scanning the battleground
The citizens of his earthly kingdom waging war all around

Chorus 1
And the guardian watches the battleground, and the darkness has not overcome
And the light keeps on shining upon the ground and the darkness has not overcome

Chorus 2
But the guardian will not desert his post and the darkness has not overcome
All the souls on the battleground soldier on and the darkness has not overcome

Verse 2
The guardian stands alert and watchful scanning the battleground
The soldier at the lonely outpost guards the higher ground

Chorus 1 repeat
And the guardian watches the battleground, and the darkness has not overcome
And the light keeps on shining upon the ground and the darkness has not overcome

And the light keeps on shining upon the ground and the darkness has not overcome
