Lost Soldier

In 'Lost Soldier,' Recon delves into the internal struggle of a believer who has strayed from their spiritual path. The song opens with a stark acknowledgment of the protagonist's faith, juxtaposed against the temptations of 'sex and drugs and rock n' roll.' These pleasures, while alluring, are depicted as deceptive forces that ultimately lead to one's downfall. The lyrics suggest that these worldly indulgences have taken a toll on the believer, creating a sense of inner conflict and a need for redemption.

The recurring motif of 'fire' symbolizes a burning desire for spiritual renewal and strength. The call to 'feel the fire' and 'fan into the flame' represents an urging to rekindle one's faith and passion for a righteous life. This fire is described as one that 'can never die,' emphasizing the eternal nature of true spiritual fervor. The song encourages the listener to embrace this inner fire, which is portrayed as a source of unending strength and guidance.

Recon also incorporates Christian imagery and themes, such as 'the Sword, the Word of life,' and 'the armor of God.' These references are drawn from biblical texts, particularly Ephesians 6:10-18, which speaks of the 'armor of God' as essential for spiritual warfare. The lyrics urge the believer to 'take time to pray' and 'let Jesus Christ complete His work in you,' highlighting the importance of prayer and divine intervention in overcoming life's challenges. The song ultimately serves as a call to return to one's faith, to prepare for spiritual battles, and to let divine guidance lead the way.
