Lanterns Over Babylon marks the culmination of a journey that began with the raw conviction of No King But Christ and the creative breadth of 1689 Side A & B and Joy to the World. Through much refinement, the band has forged a distinct and resolute sound—an unflinching declaration of faith and warfare in song.

This record stands as a rallying cry for the saints: a call to march through the darkness of modern Babylon with the unquenchable light of the Gospel. With each lyric and chord, Lanterns Over Babylon proclaims the triumph of Christ the Sovereign King, reminding believers that we do not fight for victory but from victory already won. These songs are both anthem and exhortation—urging the weary to rest in Christ, stand firm by His strength, and shine His light in a world that lives in constant opposition to Him in rebellion against Him, His Word, His Gospel.

As the album’s title track declares:

“Lanterns blaze over Babylon’s night,
Witnesses clothed in radiant light.
Of dust and breath, He raised us strong,
Redeemed to shout salvation’s song.
Against the tide we lift His Word,
The voice of Zion shall be heard.”

Take up your lantern. March on Babylon. The King reigns.
