lyrics

Our destiny will be like pages in the Bible
the world will bow at our feet
and we'll say "all in God's name"
so we're taking a vow to vanquish the darkness
to look into his black eyes of emptiness
and say "you are the first born evil"
and you'll be erased as painfully as you entered this world

CHORUS

So when the Heavens call our names
we'll say "no, no, no"
this is all thanks to God

he was born as a smile
a sunrise warming the beach
but we turned away, as anguished as baby birds thrown from our nest
life was comfortable and safe
until it grew too heavy with pain
but the child is here in the form of a test
his voice carried the sound of all our fears
fierce, evil, and soulless

The sun blew up the bedroom like a grenade at war
we squinted our eyes and said "it's not quite time"
so for now we'll stay tucked under the covers
of our protective chamber
the demon will not be renewing his lease on life
we the landlords have come to collect
it's time to burn the bridge to the past
there is work to be done
this is the road to the future
our kingdom awaits
