Hermatolos - Bellum Caeli (War in Heavens)

Описание: Lyrics
Against the throne of the Most High,
The dragon rose in pride,
“I will not serve” — and rebellion blazed forth.
He drew a third part of the stars with him,
He desired to seize the crown of light,
He assaulted the gates of heaven, the court of God.

In the kingdom of heaven
The time of fire and sword has come.
Darkness has risen against the light.
Michael lifted up the battle cry:
For the glory of the Most High — victory alone!

Michael stood at the head of the heavenly hosts.
A sword burns in his right hand,
The shield of faith flashes brightly.
He raised his sword in the name of the Most High,
And cried out with a mighty voice through heaven:
“Who is like God, the King of glory?
Who dares to touch His throne?”

In the kingdom of heaven
The time of fire and sword has come.
Darkness has risen against the light.
Michael lifted up the battle cry:
For the glory of the Most High — victory alone!

At His command the heavenly legions
Marched against the enemy.
The battle lasted long;
Darkness yielded before the light.
The ancient serpent fell,
And with him his army.
They were cast down into the abyss.
Victory forever!

Who is like God? The voice resounds.
Holy God of Hosts.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son.
