LYRICS
Crisp crunch of ancient sands, beneath the crimson sky,
A legion stands before the dawn, their final day draws nigh.
With iron wills unyielding, they face the empire's might,
In the twilight of their stand, they rise to meet the light.

In the heart of Thebes, they rose, clad in battle’s hue,
Maurice their steadfast leader, his faith firm and true.
Marching north through lands unknown, under empire's crest,
The call to quell the unrest, became a test manifest.

Stand, oh Legion of the Faithful, under Maurice’s command,
Against the tyranny they faced, for God’s kingdom, they stand.
Rejecting persecution's call, they defy the edict's demand,
Under Christ's banner, in the shadow of His comforting hand.

By the chilly Alpine breath, their resolve was tried,
To renounce the Lord above, or by His side abide.
Not sacrificing to idols of stone, Maurice led with resolve clear,
Proclaiming it better to die in grace, than to live in fear.

Then the swords fell like autumn rain, each stroke a martyr’s creed,
The Theban Legion stood as one, in thought, in word, in deed.
Soil of the ground received a testimony, their blood's witness to true faith,
Souls of the town found a new harmony, in Saint-Maurice, they resonate.

Stand, oh Legion of the Faithful, under Maurice’s command,
Against the cruel tyranny, for God’s kingdom true and grand.
Martyrs in the mountain’s shadow, with the cross as their brand,
With Christ in death they conquer, with the Risen One they'll stand.

In the mists of time, their lantern shines, from days of old,
Saint Maurice, their commander bold, enshrined in memory’s scrolls.
Champion of the warrior's way, steward of the light,
A steadfast flame of faith burning bright.

So march forth, Legion of the Faithful, with the courage God bestowed,
Maurice’s name, still echoes where the rivers of valor flowed.
Stand firm in the face of darkness, let your story be proudly told,
Now marching in Christ's light, salvation more precious than gold.

HOW I MAKE THESE MUSIC VIDEOS
All of the music on this channel is made with AI music generation software called Suno. The lyrics are from my poetry. In many cases, I have written the lyrics entirely in the "old-fashioned" way, although in several other songs, I've also begun to use ChatGPT to aid in the process. However, these typically require extensive preliminary inputs and significant manual revision and fine-tuning before satisfactory results. Lyric videos are made with Pinnacle Studio 26.
