ORTDHX " THE MONK AND THE WORLD " (80s Glam Metal)

(Christian glam metal) I USED A.I. TO PRODUCE THESE SONGS! This is the 1ST ALBUM: Gates of Paradise

Lyrics:

I walk the streets of dust and neon,
Where broken hearts trade sleep for dreams.
Temptation pours like poisoned wine,
And every light hides what it seems.
But in the silence of my spirit,
A whisper cuts through all desire—
A holy breath upon my skin,
A warning wrapped in sacred fire.

I am in the world, but not its slave;
Your mercy is the strength I crave.
Lord, keep my heart from sinking lower—
Clothe me in Your burning power.

A cloak of fire in the dying night!
A shield of grace in a world without light!
When darkness calls with a serpent’s voice,
I stand my ground, I make my choice.
A monk in the world, but my soul climbs higher—
Wrapped in the love of a Cloak of Fire!

I see the faces lost in shadows,
The silent wars they never name.
The world pretends that nothing’s broken,
Yet every heart is caught in flame.
But through the ruins of this city,
Your mercy lights the narrow way—
A path that cuts through smoke and ashes,
Where saints of old still walk today.

I am not blind to all that calls;
I hear the whispers in the walls.
But in Your Name I rise above—
Your fire is armor, forged in love.

A cloak of fire in the dying night!
A shield of grace in a world without light!
When darkness calls with a serpent’s voice,
I stand my ground, I make my choice.
A monk in the world, but my soul climbs higher—
Wrapped in the love of a Cloak of Fire!

I walk alone, but never truly…
For heaven’s whisper rests within me.
“Be holy in a fallen land…
Hold fast, stand firm, refuse the sand.”
And in the trembling of my bones,
Your flame becomes my shield of gold.

A cloak of fire in the dying night!
A shield of grace in a world without light!
When darkness calls with a serpent’s voice,
I stand my ground, I make my choice.
A monk in the world, but my soul climbs higher—
Wrapped in the love of a Cloak of Fire!
A Cloak of Fire… a Cloak of Fire…
Burning me brighter… taking me higher…

In this world, I walk with flame…
Lord Jesus Christ, guard my name.
