My son was listening to a group today by the name of Pillar. These are young Christian artists and their music is heavy in its sound. I began reading about this group to see where they stand in matters of faith and I came across this information.

The following song, Frontline, was written by the founding member of the band who was recently discharged from military service having served his time. His father is still in the Middle East through 2005. The lyrical content of this song seems aptly fit for this action being taken by our troops. He wrote this song as a tribute of sorts to his brothers in service and as a rally cry for all Christians so I guess I could say it has double meaning. In either case, they rock and if you like that sort of music they are worth taking a look at.

Frontline

It’s not like I’m walking alone into the valley of the shadow of death
Stand beside one another, ‘cause it ain’t over yet
I’d be willing to bet that if we don’t back down
You and I w
ill be the ones that are holding the Crown in the end When it’s over, we can say, “Well done”
But not yet, ‘cause it’s only begun
So, pick up, and follow me, we’re the only ones
To fight this thing, until we’ve won
We drive on and don’t look back
It doesn’t mean we can’t learn from our past
All the things that we mighta done wrong
We could’ve been doing this all along

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We’re on the frontline

And we’ll be carrying on, until the day it doesn’t matter anymore
Step aside, you forgot what this is for
We fight to live, we live to fight
And tonight, you’ll hear my battle cry
We live our lives on the frontlines
We’re not afraid of the fast times
These days have opened up my eyes
And now, I see where the threat lies

We’ve got to lead the way
