This Means War — текст песни (Petra)

Words and music by Bob Hartman
Based on Romans 16:20, Isaiah 14:12-15

Son of the morning - highest of all
You had so much going till you took the fall
Had a place in the glory but you wanted it all
Impossible odds but you had the gall
It seemed so unlikely that you would rebel
Such a worthy opponent that you knew so well
But you went down fighting when you heard the bell
Took a third down from heaven when you went to hell

(Chorus)
This means war - and the battle`s still raging
War - and though both sides are waging
The Victor is sure and the victory secure
But till judgment we all must endure
This means war!

Then came the cross - you thought you had won
You thought you had conquered God`s only Son
"So much for Jesus," you said in jest
Then you got a visit from an unwelcome guest

Now it`s all over down to the wire
Counting the days to your own lake of fire
But you`ll go down fighting for all that you`re worth
To try to abolish His image on earth
