As I sit alone and tired, with time to spareTemptation rears its ugly headBorn from a deceptive dream into a nightmareIt calls to me againTesting me to see if I will break this timeOr at least how far I'll bendI can see its glowing eyes and hear its evil cries"Come dance with me, my friend..."
So, the things that I want to doI find myself not doingbut the things that I don't want to doI fall into - Why?Why do we struggle with the former things andlive in our own power below our means?
WarDon't you understand this is war?War with the principalities and powersThings unseen that would devour us allThe spirit battles the fleshAnd now my wounds are deepand torn wide openI'm tired and weary, hurt and broken down
Lead us notInto temptationBut deliver usFrom the evil oneDarkness fallsOn my spirit againAgain temptation callsI can hear it
As the battle rages on and onI face the things that put my faith to the testWhen fallen angels won't leave me aloneFather, come and lay the demon to restWhen my sword has broken off in my handI see the dark futility of the fleshWhen I'm about to fall, please help me standFather, come and lay the demon to rest
They're on my backI run, but I can feel their talonsdigging in my fleshBlood trickles down upon the earthAnd I grow weaker with each breathEach time I shake one offanother wraps its teeth around my neckAnd every time, the one, the thorn is thereTo tear me down again
The angels counterstrikeTheir flaming swords slice throughthe fallen onesThe demons reunite, attack againThe cycle has begunCaught in the middle of this present darknesswith nowhere to runWe're in a holy warAs it is written, so shall it be done
Where there's a will, there's a way, they sayBut sometimes my will seems to get in the waySo You will have to fight for me today
