Messiah

Messiah took this world by force
Messiah took the world by force
I could hear children crying
I could see people dying
I could see the cities falling
I could hear the Saviour calling
Messiah, Messiah
He took this world by force
Red clouds blotted out the sun
Darkness fell on everyone
Rivers of blood were running
I could see the armies coming
I could see their weapons falling
I could hear the angels calling
Messiah, Messiah
He took this world by force
The bear from the North
And the dragon from the East
Descendent upon the armies of Israel
And slaughtered them
And in that moment
The chosen of Israel
Cried out for Messiah
And Messiah came
MESSIAH!
MESSIAH!
Messiah, Messiah
He took this world by force
