I think House of Heroes is pointing out the darkness in the world with its persecution and destruction of innocence: "I see a clean blood running". I think this is a song of hope. "Woe to the king of nothing" (watch out Satan cause a new day is coming and a new kingdom is coming).
There is such a deep longing in many of the House of Heroes songs to change the world we live in now and remove the darkness and the corruption.
Spread wide Your wings, O God,
Relieve this scarlet fever,
Catch every tear of mothers in mourning.
Bring life to tired hopes,
Buried in fields of flowers,
Bring many sons of battle to glory.
With every drop of blood,
Caged in this tired body,
I long to bring my father to glory.
Of course the "Who was and is and is to come" refers to Jesus Christ who will come and reign and end the darkness on this earth. As a matter of fact, he started that with the crucifixion, is continuing it through each of us (hence "I Long to bring my Father to glory") after the resurrection, and will finish it in the end. There is a new day coming
