Spirit World Rising

I have been to Abilene
The spirit world rising
I have seen in Abilene
The Devil has Texas
Purple robes they shall wear
The spirit world rising
The number on their forehead and hands
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
