The devil laughed and said I've won

God has lost his only son

The brightest star no longer shines

Finally this world is mine

Then he gathered all his demons near

He said we have conquered love with fear



Meanwhile back at the cross

All is not lost

Forgiveness is bought with each drop of his blood

It falls to the ground

Mercy abounds

As Mother Mary's tears fall down

To see her precious son pay the cost



The devil said we'll use their pride

We'll attack them from inside

Fill their hearts with vanity

Til their differences are all they'll see

Black and white, rich and poor

To justify their holy war



Take a look around

Turn on the evening news

The devil said there's no way

I'm gonna lose

Hate is everywhere

Love cannot be found

It took me two thousand years

But it's almost over now
