Victory

THE VICTORY IS WON BEFORE THE BATTLE BEGINS
EACH WARRIOR KNOWS THE ULTIMATE END

MANY WEAPONS ARE USED EVEN THOUGH HE'S DEFEATED
THE EVIL ONE CALLS WHILE THE BATTLE IS HEATED

DEAR ENVY, AND ANGER, AND GOSSIP, AND LUST
JOIN ME IN THE BATTLE OF BETRAYING THEIR TRUST

COME SHAME, AND ADDICTION, HOPELESS, DESPAIR
FROM MANY OF YOU THEY BELIEVE NO REPAIR

CONFUSION AND HUNGER, I CALL TO YOU PRIDE
THE DAY IS BEGINNING AND IT'S TIME FOR THE RIDE

THERE'S MY DEAR HATE, A FAVORITE I CALL
A SON I HAVE MENTORED AND A PART OF YOU ALL

A FATHER OF LIES, I HAVE TRAINED YOU ALL WELL
GO OUT INTO BATTLE AND I'LL WATCH YOU FROM HELL

OUR DAYS ARE YET NUMBERED WHICH DETERMINES OUR FATE
ONLY ONE IS AWARE SO MAKE HASTE FORE' IT'S TOO LATE

THE ANGEL OF DARK NOW BEGINNING TO HOWL
WHIPPING HIS SONS BEFORE EACH DAY'S NEW PROWL

***

THE ONE UP ABOVE NOW LOOKS TO HIS SON
WITH PLEASURE AND LOVE FOR SACRIFICE DONE

SAVIOR TO MANY, I KNOW YOU STILL MOURN
FOR THOSE YET DECEIVED, TATTERED AND TORN

GO TO YOUR BRIDE AND SHOW THEM YOUR GRACE
BY REVEALING THE WORD AND THEIR TRUE PLACE

LET THEM THE KNOW THAT THE BATTLE IS FOUGHT BY A WARRIOR OF ONE
WHOM KNOWS THAT THE BATTLE, THE WAR, AND THE ENDING WILL COME

THE WEAPONS HE CALLS AND SENDS OUT TO BETRAY
HAVE ONLY THE POWER MAN ALLOWS THEM THAT DAY

SO SHOW THEM THE TRUTH AS THE ONE LORD OF ALL
THAT YOU'RE THERE BY THEIR SIDE SHOULD THEY STUMBLE AND FALL

IN YOUR HAND THERE ARE MANY, THOSE THAT ARE LOST
YET TO DISCOVER YOU'VE PAID THEIR SINS COST

THE FATHER OF LIES STILL CALLING THEIR NAME
BUT YOU'VE WON THE BATTLE, THE VICTORY TO CLAIM

THE SUN NOW ARISES, A MORNING'S SUN DEW
THE DAYS HAVE BEEN NUMBERED AND THERE ARE FEW

YOU ARE THE WORD, THE AUTHOR OF TRUTH FROM ABOVE
MAY THEY KNOW THIS ONE THING, MAY THEY KNOW HOW TO LOVE
