    This latest album ‘7th HEAVEN’ continues where our last release ‘Got Your Six’ left off: songs of hope and inspiration featuring our signature guitar sounds, synth melodies, straight ahead drumming with just a few chanting monks thrown in for good measure.
    This, our 7 song, 7th release (thus the name), is our most powerful and passionate to date. Not only 5 songs written by the band but we also cover a ‘70s song by Christian alt rockers The Call and even reach back to the glory days of the 60’s Detroit music scene by ‘Crystalizing’ a classic SRC rock tune. How’s that for diversity in music?

about

Originally released on the "Still Standing..." CD over 20 years ago (wow...), this song still means so much to the band as it highlights the struggle, temptations and finally the triumphs (thanks be to God) of our every day lives here on this plain. Reimagined and re-recorded - here is the 2022 version of our salute to all the Soldiers Of The Crown that stand in the eternal gap for the rest of us... soldiers just like you!

lyrics

SOLDIERS OF THE CROWN
MUSIC & LYRICS BY MARQ SPECK

THE TIME, IT MOVES SO FAST
AND THE NIGHT IT"S FLEETING PAST
WE WONDER CAN WE LAST UNTIL THE MORNING
WITH TEMPTATION ALL AROUND
DO WE STAND AND HOLD OUR GROUND
OR SURRENDER UP THE CROWN WITHOUT WARNING

IF WE BELIEVE IN THE WORDS THAT HE SPOKE
AND IN HIS MESSAGE FROM THE CROSS
WE’LL RECEIVE BOTH THE PROMISE AND THE HOPE
WHEN HE RETURNS, WE WILL SEE HIM

SOLDIERS OF THE CROWN
WE ARE FAITHFUL, HONOR BOUND
PROTECTING WHAT WE’VE FOUND JOY RECEIVERS
WE ARE SOLDIERS OF THE CROWN
WE ARE STEADFAST, GLORY BOUND
PROTECTING HOLY GROUND
WE'RE TRUE BELIEVERS

AND WE BELIEVE LORD IN THE WORDS THAT YOU SPOKE
AND IN YOUR MESSAGE FROM THE CROSS
WE RECEIVE BOTH YOUR PROMISE AND THE HOPE
WHEN YOU RETURN, LORD YOU KNOW WE WILL SEE YOU
AGAIN

IN OUR LIVES WE LOOK FOR ANSWERS
WE SEARCH FOR GLORIES AND ROMANCES
BUT WHAT WE NEED ARE MORE SOLDIERS OF THE CROWN

BECAUSE FINALLY, IT’S TRUE
IN EVERYTHING THAT WE DO
IT ALL BECOMES BRAND NEW, THAT’S THE PROMISE
WE ARE SOLDIERS OF THE CROWN
WE ARE FAITHFUL, GLORY BOUND
FOR THE BLESSINGS THAT ABOUND
YOU JUST JOIN US, JOIN US, JOIN US!

IN OUR LIVES WE LOOK FOR ANSWERS
SEARCH FOR GLORIES AND ROMANCES
BUT IT’S ENOUGH TO BE A SOLDIER OF THE CROWN
