| Lyrics: | When the devil has you in his hold Oh what then will you do? Lift your heart to the king of love And he will rescue you There’s joy to feel again and there’s better days to come So when you feel his icy grip, child you better run Don’t entertain the seed too much that’s planted in your mind He’s prowling, you’re his prey and you’re easy for him to find There’s terror in his ways and a loveless jealousy An endless night, the darkest dark child…don’t abide with he But a shadow cannot be so without a source of light Awake, arise beloved one he keeps you in his sight A fortress from this world diamond armour for your clothes Roots that grow much deeper than a thorn or a rose I know wherever I go… he goes there before To hold the torch, carry the fire, to call me more and more There’s dark within the earth so shine with all your might And when the time does come child You’re ready for the fight! |
