Lyrics

I have been to Abilene
The spirit world rising
I have seen in Abilene
The devil has Texas
Purple rose they shall wear
The spirit world rising
The number on their forehead and hand
The devil has Texas
From the sky the number seven
The devil defeated
In the sky
The new Jerusalem
I have been to Abilene
The spirit world rising
I have seen in Abilene
The devil has Texas
The spirit world rising
The devil has Texas
The spirit world rising
The devil has Texas
