MAXIMILIAN'S CROSS - Christian Symphonic Metal | Lyric Video

Welcome to the official lyric video of "Maximilian's Cross," a symphonic metal tribute to Saint Maximilian Kolbe. This Christian metal song captures the profound story of Maximilian Kolbe's act of self-sacrifice at Auschwitz, where he offered his life to save a fellow prisoner. As you listen, you'll journey through the themes of faith, hope, and redemption embodied by Maximilian's unwavering spirit.
About Saint Maximilian Kolbe:
Maximilian Kolbe was a Polish Conventual Franciscan friar who volunteered to die in place of Franciszek Gajowniczek, a stranger, at Auschwitz in 1941. His act of love and sacrifice is a testament to his deep faith and compassion. He was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1982.
Song lyrics:
In the turmoil of a world aflame, under war's darkened sky,
A glimmer of hope arose, with eyes of conviction held high.
From the heart of Poland’s plight, defying the teeth of despair,
Maximilian, his greatness lent, a light from Heaven's air.
Against the storm, against the dark,
In steadfast faith, he let the cross be his mark.
In Auschwitz's shadows he shone the light,
Laying down life as Christ's life for him was laid.
In face of death's darkness keeping sight,
Providing a witness for the great price once paid.
Through the gates of fear and pain, where the shadows know your name,
He walked with the condemned, in a world consumed by flame.
Words of peace amid the cries, a calm amidst the storm,
In the darkest of the nights, his spirit did transform.
In the silence of the condemned, a single voice rang true,
"Take me," he cried, "for him, I'll bear the cross and see this through."
In Auschwitz's shadows he shone the light,
Laying down life as Christ's life for him was laid.
In face of death's darkness keeping sight,
Providing a witness for the great price once paid.
In the abode of martyrs, hearing the angels sing,
Rests man who made his life and death a living offering.
Echoes of Christ's sacrifice, the courage never dies,
Maximilian’s legacy, darkness it forever defies.
Maximilian, saint over the abyss,
Taught us love is the path, and the greatest gift is this.
A heart unchained, his legacy, Christ's cross to uphold,
Saint Maximilian Kolbe, in whom God's love was bold.
On wings of glory, his memory soars,
Above the pain, where freedom roars.
A witness of the love that hearts from darkness liberates,
Maximilian, into the light, where eternity waits.
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.
