1) Exorcism (Intro)
2) The Cross Will Always Prevail
I know that I am a sinner
There's no righteousness found in me
On my own I'm doomed to die in the fire
My only hope is Jesus Christ
He alone is my righteousness
Without His Saving Grace I know I am lost
Alone on the mountain I was doomed to die
I cried out to Jesus to save my life
He told me to "Rise, soldier of God"
He gave me True Strength to carry on
The Cross Will Always Prevail
In this world or in the next you will see
Those who belong to Christ will be set free
The Cross Will Always Prevail
In His Power you had better believe
It is written that we'll have victory!
I am suffering every day
When I hear people profane His name
Because I know the pain He went through for me
Christ said "If the World hates you..."
"Remember it has hated me first"
These words I'll keep in my heart forever
Some have declared that our defeat is near
Perhaps on earth, it belongs to Satan
Some have declared that we are scattered
But there is a Truth that they can't defeat
The Cross Will Always Prevail
In this world or in the next you will see
Those who belong to Christ will be set free
The Cross Will Always Prevail
In His Power you had better believe
It is written that we'll have victory!
-------SOLO-------
No one is their own savior
Christ alone is your righteousness
Without His Saving Grace you are lost
You may think this unfair
But you must know that we're all sinners
Just being good is not good enough for God
Alone in the dark I know you will cry
You will cry out for Jesus to save your life
And just like that He will give you the strength
He'll give you True Strength to carry on
The Cross Will Always Prevail
In this world or in the next you will see
Those who belong to Christ will be set free
The Cross Will Always Prevail
In His Power you had better believe
It is written that we'll have victory!
3) Christian Battle-Cry
Beheaded, imprisoned
Forced to eat out of the trash
Believers in chains
Churches are left in flames
Relocation, torn families
Stolen lives and lost property
No one can hear them cry
They are just left to die
The Coptic Church in Egypt has to flee away in fear
Chaldeans in Iraq have to hide from their people
The Pakistani Christians have been known to disappear
No witnesses around them confessing what they hear
And if they threaten to take your life
You must tell His story!
And if they threaten to kill your child
You must tell His story!
And if they point their guns and fire
You must tell His story!
And if they're willing to give their life
You must tell their story!
If you could see what they'd saw, you'd know the fear that fills them all
If you could see what they'd saw, you'd know the pain that haunts them all
Tyrants and atheists
Rule with an iron fist
Islam, the Middle East
Threatens our fragile peace
Pillaging and conscripting
Killing us in their God's name
Forced conversions bringing fear
Hatred from far and near
The Christians of Nigeria have to flee away in fear
The Mar Thoma of Orissa have to hide from their people
The Arabian Christians have been known to disappear
No witnesses around them confessing what they hear
And if they threaten to take your life
You must tell His story!
And if they threaten to kill your child
You must tell His story!
And if they point their guns and fire
You must tell His story!
And if they're willing to give their life
You must tell their story!
If you could see what they'd saw, you'd know the fear that fills them all
If you could see what they'd saw, you'd know the pain that haunts them all
-------SOLO-------
Legal infanticide
No graves mark where they died
Genocide with no objections
Allowed by United Nations
Starving the many homeless
No compassion shown to them
No prayers allowed in schools
Our leaders are led by fools
The Christians of Iran have to flee away in fear
The Christians of East Timor have to hide from their people
Filipino Christians have been known to disappear
No witnesses around them confessing what they hear
And if they threaten to take your life
You must tell His story!
And if they threaten to kill your child
You must tell His story!
And if they point their guns and fire
You must tell His story!
And if they're willing to give their life
You must tell their story!
If you could see what they'd saw, you'd know the fear that fills them all
If you could see what they'd saw, you'd know the pain that haunts them all
4) Under the Scimitar
Wake up! There are Christians being slaughtered in the East!
Women are abused and raped and sold into slavery
They are abducted, tortured and forced to convert to lies
They're stolen from their homes but do we hear their cries?!
Tell me!
Under the Scimitar is a heavy price to pay
But the Lord paid a steeper cost when He willingly went to the grave
And now I will gladly die so I can boldly say:
I will never deny my God through Jesus Christ I am saved!
Under the Scimitar...
We pray...
For Deliverance...
-------SOLO-------
The Egyptian Christians being martyred in the East
Their churches are in flames and burned by the enemy
They are abducted, tortured and put to the blade by lies
They're stolen from their homes but do we hear their cries?!
Tell me!
Under the Scimitar is a heavy price to pay
But the Lord paid a steeper cost when He willingly went to the grave
And now I will gladly die so I can boldly say:
I will never deny my God through Jesus Christ I am saved!
Under the Scimitar is a heavy price to pay
But the Lord paid a steeper cost when He willingly went to the grave
And now I will gladly die so I can boldly say:
I will never deny my God through Jesus Christ I am saved!
5) Starve the Fires of Moloch
Could it be that this madness is really a nightmare?
One where we will wake up and finally see?
Innocent babies are murdered in the womb!
There's no place to mourn them, not even a tomb
Their lives are snuffed out and their bodies discarded
Thrown into a fire with medical waste!
These babies are children not malignant tumors!
They want to know love from their mother's arms!
Your nation will crumble
Your people will perish
Your wicked ways will bury you
So prepare to die
You have worshiped false idols
You've embraced false gods
And you’re serving pure evil
Could this land of freedom be finally at its end?
When we go and repeat the sins of Canaan?
What we do is perverse before God above us
But they don't believe Him or the Law He set forth
They live for the moment not thinking or feeling
They conceive a life but they don't think that's fair!
They only want pleasure with no strings or burdens
So they go to clinics to scrape out their wombs!
Your nation will crumble
Your people will perish
Your wicked ways will bury you
So prepare to die
You have worshiped false idols
You've embraced false gods
And you’re serving pure evil
-------SOLO-------
Like those fools of Canaan whose ways God despised
We throw our flesh in the flames of sacrifice
Though we do not throw them in hollowed out statues
We disposed their bodies in bio-hazard urns
You live for the moment not thinking or feeling
You conceive a life but you don't think that's fair!
You only want pleasure with no strings or burdens
So you go to clinics to scrape out your womb!
Your nation will crumble
Your people will perish
Your wicked ways will bury you
So prepare to die
You have worshiped false idols
You've embraced false gods
And you’re serving pure evil
Starving the Fires of Moloch will save you
From the debt you’re incurring from your sacrifice
The devil is real and he lays in waiting
For you to cave in and give in to your vice
Don't live for the moment not thinking or feeling
And you'll spare a life that needs loving and care
Don't live for your pleasures the cost is too great and
Remember that no one has asked to be born!
Your nation won’t crumble
Your people won’t perish
Your wicked ways won’t bury you
So you will live
When you trust in Lord Jesus
You'll reject the false gods
And turn to the light
Your nation won’t crumble
Your people won’t perish
Your wicked ways won’t bury you
So you will live
When you trust in Lord Jesus
You'll reject the false gods
And turn to the light
6) Michael the Archangel
When war had broke out in the heavens above us
Michael commanded his angels to stand-up and fight!
On that day when the mighty archangels will fly
They will cast out the demons from out of the sky!
On that day when the dragon's angels will rise
Michael will meet them with his blade held so high!
Satan is weak and his army is weaker
The fallen angels had all lost their place in the sky!
On that day when the mighty archangels will fly
They will cast out the demons from out of the sky!
On that day when the dragon's angels will rise
Michael will meet them with his blade held so high!
-Spoken-
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
“Now have come the salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,
who accuses them before our God day and night,
has been hurled down.
They triumphed over him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony;
they did not love their lives so much
as to shrink from death.
Therefore rejoice, you heavens
and you who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth and the sea,
because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
because he knows that his time is short.”
-Revelation 12:10-12
-------SOLO-------
The dragon, the devil was hurled down to earth
And with him his angels who all were under God's curse!
On that day when the mighty archangels will fly
They will cast out the demons from out of the sky!
On that day when the dragon's angels will rise
Michael will meet them with his blade held so high!
7) When We Meet at Armageddon
The armies of the Evil One have gathered on the plains
They've come to battle the Lord who's come to end their reign
All the blood of the saints are stained red upon their clothes
And the mark of the beast they bare has stained their very souls
When we meet at har-Meggido
The wicked man shall die
The righteous will arise in the sky
And fight you side-by-side
When we meet at har-Meggido
You will kiss my blade
The wicked will be led in chains
They'll fall to Jesus' name
The Heavenly Warrior has come to kill the Beast
An Angel in the sun calls the birds to gather for the feast
In vain the Beast prepares to fight this hopeless fight
But he is no match for Heaven and he's banished from the light
When we meet at har-Meggido
The wicked man shall die
The righteous will arise in the sky
And fight you side-by-side
When we meet at har-Meggido
You will kiss my blade
The wicked will be led in chains
They'll fall to Jesus' name
-------SOLO-------
When we meet at har-Meggido

When we meet at har-Meggido
You will kiss my blade
The wicked will be led in chains
They'll fall to Jesus' name
When we meet at har-Meggido
The wicked man shall die
The righteous will arise in the sky
And fight you side-by-side
When we meet at har-Meggido
You will kiss my blade
The wicked will be led in chains
They'll fall to Jesus' name
8) Key to the Abyss
A mighty angel’s coming descending from the sky
Holding in his hand
A key to lock them all away, trap them in abyssal fire!
You can scream and curse him it won’t change your fate
You repent too late
Now you will be locked away, burning in a pit of fire!
Demons, can you feel the burning in your throat?
Your thirst is never quenched!
Punishing you night and day, burn you in a pit of fire!
Satan, can you hear Hell calling out your name?
Showing you your fate!
Burn you for a thousand years, burn you in a pit of fire!
In the fire!
The pain you’ve inflicted on countless of families will finally be avenged
The poor, the sick, the widowed and dying will finally have revenge
A mighty angel descends upon your burning home
Showing you the key
With it you’ll be locked away, burning in a pit of fire!
Demons, can you feel the burn of lapping flames?
Reveal to you true pain
Punishing you night and day, burn you in a pit of fire!
Satan, can you hear Hell calling out your name?
Showing you your fate!
Taking all your life away, burn you in a pit of fire!
Satan, can you hear Hell calling out your name?
Showing you your fate!
Burn you for a thousand years, burn you in a pit of fire!
In the fire!
The pain you’ve inflicted on countless of families will finally be avenged
The poor, the sick, the widowed and dying will finally have revenge
Your pain will never cease…
Your cries are never heard…
Your pain is all too real… and no one cares!
Your judgment’s coming soon
Oh Satan be aware
Your time is coming soon
So be prepared!
