Lyrics

[Intro]

In the vast expanse of a timeless place

Where silence ruled the outer space

Ominously, towering it stood

The symbol of a spirit war

Between the one named Lucifer

And the Morning Star, the ultimate of good

[Intro]

Enveloped by a trillion planets

Clean as lightning and hard as granite

A cosmic coliseum would host the end

Of the war between the lord of sin and death

And the Omnipotent Creator of man's first breath

Who will decide who forever will be the Champion?

[Verse 1]

The audience for the Fight of the Ages was assembled and in place

The angels came in splendor from a star

The saints that had gone before were there, Jeremiah, Enoch, Job

They were singing the Song of Zion on David's harp

[Verse 2]

The demons arrived, offensive and vile, cursing and blaspheming God

Followed by their trophies, dead and gone

Hitler, Napoleon, Pharaoh, Capone

Tormented and vexed and grieved

Waiting for their judgment

From the throne

[Verse 3]

Then a chill swept through the mammoth crowd

And the demons squealed with glee

As a sordid, vulgar, repulsive essence was felt

Arrogantly prancing, hands held high, draped in a sparkling shroud

Trolled by demons, Satan ascended from Hell

[Verse 4]

Then Satan cringed, the sinners groaned

The demons reeled in pain

As a swell of power like silent thunder rolled

With a surge of light beyond intense, illuminating the universe

In resplendent glory appeared the Son of God

[Verse 5]

Then a persona, yes, extraordinaire appeared in center ring

God the Father will oversee the duel

Opening the Book of Life, each grandstand hushed in awe

As majestically, He said

"Now here's the rules

He'll be wounded for their transgressions

Bruised for iniquities"

When He said, "By His stripes they're healed," the Devil shook

He screamed, "Sickness is my specialty, I hate that healing junk"

God said, "You shut your face, I wrote the book"

[Verse 6]

Then the Father looked at His only Son and said

"You know the rules

Your blood will cleanse their sin and calm their fears"

Then He pointed His finger at Satan and said

"And I know you know the rules

You've been twisting them to deceive My people for years"

Satan cried, "I'll kill you, Christ! You'll never win this fight"

The demons wheezed, "That's right, there ain't no way"

Satan jeered, "You're dead meat, Jesus, I'm gonna bust you up tonight"

Jesus said, "Go ahead, make My day"

[Verse 7]

The bell, the crowd, the fight was on

And the Devil leaped in fury

With all his evil tricks, he came undone

He threw his jabs of hate and lust

A stab of pride and envy

But the hands that knew no sin blocked every one

[Verse 8]

Forty days and nights they fought, and Satan couldn't touch Him

Now the final blow saved for the final round

Prophetically, Christ's hands came down

And Satan struck in vengeance

The blow of death felled Jesus to the ground

[Verse 9]

The devils roared in victory

The saints, shocked and perplexed

As wounds appeared upon His hands and feet

Then Satan kicked Him in His side

And blood and water flowed

And they waited for the ten count of defeat

[Verse 10]

God the Father turned His head

His tears announcing Christ was dead

The ten count would proclaim the battle's end

Then Satan trembled through his sweat in unexpected horror, yet

As God started to count by saying, "Ten"

"Hey, wait a minute, God"

("Nine") "Stop! You're counting wrong"

("Eight") "His eyes are moving"

("Seven") "His fingers are twitching"

("Six") "Where's all this light coming from?"

("Five") "He's alive!"

("Four") "Oh, no!"

("Three, two") "Oh, yes, He has won"

He has won

He's alive forevermore!

He is risen, He is Lord

He has won

He has won

He's alive forevermore

He is risen, He is Lord

[Verse 11]

Proclaim the news in every tongue

Through endless ages and beyond

Let it be voiced from mountains loud and strong

Captivity has been set free

Salvation bought for you and me

'Cause Satan is defeated

And Jesus is the champion
