Purple and Gold Lyrics

the veil of the sky draws open 
the roar of the chariots touch down 
we r the ones who have now come again 
and walk upon water like solid ground 
as we approach the throne we won’t bow down 
this time we won’t b denied

raise every voice and let it b known 
in the name of the purple and gold

we come in the name of the purple and gold 
all of the odds r in r favor 
no prediction 2 bold 
we r the truth if the truth can b told 
long reign the purple and gold

the eyes say ready 4 battle 
no need 4 sword in hand
