Sword of Fire

Democracy lays bleeding
Freedom coughs out its life
On a planet torn by chaos
By hunger, pain and strife

 

Rights no longer given
Dignity ripped asunder
Fearful and divided
Into slavery we blunder

 

Dark the evil people
Darker still their plan
Genocide by the millions
Bringing Hell on earth to man

 

They barely even hide it
As they meet and greet and grin
Drunk on wealth and power
Made high with mortal sin

 

Is humanity finally waking
Or is it now all too late
Have the centuries of blindness
Placed the seal upon our fate

 

Should defeated eyes be cast down
At the end of our shared rope
Or turned up to God’s heaven
With courage, love and hope

 

Here there sits no prophet
Just one sheep gone astray
But I’ve read the story’s ending
Where the dark ones finally pay

 

A Son came bearing forgiveness
A gift from His Heavenly Sire
Soon, in wrath, He will return
With a cleansing sword of fire
