1. THE FIGHT GOES ON

Politics of planet Earth are draining us of our hope
And our thirst for life, for love and peace and joy
Bad news tweeted every second, will we ever learn
Further signs of political unrest haunt our daily lives
The fight goes on for those who stay strong
Never give up, the battle is for us to win
The fight goes on, God has a plan for everything
Middle East, North Korea, permanent state of war
Politicians on all sides ratcheting up the tension
Suicide bombs, terrorist attacks, innocent lives are lost
Tell me how the victims deal with all the pain

Victory will come to those who endure

Never give up, the battle is for us to win
The fight goes on, God has a plan for everything

Everyday we hear of disaster
It takes our thoughts away from God
It's time to be strong and stand up and fight
Crush the evil force that would steal our souls

The world is taking us to a dark place
It's easy to get mixed up and lose our sense of peace
But God's light of love is shining in the darkness
Leading us to a land that is filled with hope

You must rise above the mire of politics

Never give up, the battle is for us to win
The fight goes on, God has a plan for everything

God gives the strength to those who are faithful
There can be love when we see only hate
Rise up, take your chance, believe in a better tomorrow
You must not ever give, just fight until the end

The fight goes on
The fight goes on
The fight goes on
The fight goes on


2. THERE IS NO PEACE

The four unnecessary evils that feed the war machine
Politics, hatred, money and power

Politics through media controls your mind, you've been robbed of your rights as they lie
Politicians twist the truth and make you point the finger and blame someone else
Hatred is murder, as long as we hate our brother we do not know God

There is no peace as the war machine keeps on turning
There are no rights when people keep on burning
There is no security when dictators ride their horses
There is no justice as the superpowers gather their forces

Love, money and wealth, you only love yourself
Grow from the root of all evil and be slaughtered like pigs, aarrrgh!
We all love power, be worshiped or just turn on the light switch
We're all guilty and contribute to this mess, oh Lord have mercy

There is no peace as the war machine keeps on turning
There are no rights when people keep on burning
There is no security when dictators ride their horses
There is no justice as the superpowers gather their forces

Four unnecessary evils that fuel the war machine

Politics, hatred, money, power
Politics, hatred, money, power
Politics, hatred, money, power
Politics, hatred, money, power

Are these the four evils that you serve, if so repent


3. POLITICS OF POPULARITY

We live in a world where celebrity wins
Caught up in the politics of popularity
Humanistic leaders feeding their ego
Tied down by the politics of popularity

Is it too much to ask to look beyond the mask
Can't you see that history is repeating
Had a chance and now they're back for more
It's the same on both sides, all are found wanting

Policy is determined by polls
Caught up in the politics of popularity
Faith is used by leaders as a ploy
Tied down by the politics of popularity

Is it too much to ask to look beyond the mask
Can't you see that history is repeating
Had a chance and now they're back for more
It's the same on both sides, all are found wanting

Give me your vote
I will give you money
Give me your vote
I will give you money

Is it too much to ask to look beyond the mask
Can't you see that history is repeating
Had a chance and now they're back for more
It's the same on both sides, all are found wanting, yeah


4. FOUR CREATURES

Four living creatures by the throne
Sing a song of glory, honour and thanks
To the one that sits on the throne
Who lives forever and ever amen

Four living creatures by the throne
Four riders on Earth making the war
Four angels at four corners of the world
Four angels holding back the four winds

Holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, who is and who is to come
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, who is and who is to come
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, who is and who is to come
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, who is and who is to come

Heavenly voice like a waterfall
A loud peal of thunder shakes the floor
Hundred and forty four, four and twenty four
Sing a new song only they can learn

Four angels were given power to harm
Four corners of the gold altar before God
Four angels kill a third of human race
Four sides to a perfect new holy place

Holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, who is and who is to come
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, who is and who is to come
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, who is and who is to come
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, who is and who is to come

Holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, who is and who is to come
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, who is and who is to come
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, who is and who is to come
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, who is and who is to come

6. STRIKE THE OPPRESSOR

Demonic forces attack from all sides
Disciples showed us how to fight to survive
Transformation to an eternal state
Beast consumed in fire, damnation it comes

Be prepared to strike when attacked
You must be able to strike the oppressor
It's spiritual battle, get armored up
The time will come to strike the oppressor
Strike the oppressor

At Calvary they tried but they failed
To destroy the one who came to save
If you flee you will be one of those who fall
Stand strong with Christ and put your armor on

Be prepared to strike when attacked
You must be able to strike the oppressor
Its spiritual battle, get armored up
The time will come to strike the oppressor
Strike the oppressor

I won't choose to fall to the wiles of sin
Christ was whipped and beaten for my wrong

Substitute for the punishment I'm owed
Grow not weary, we shall reap what we sow

A final word of warning for those who do not know
The fight is brutal, it's taken many souls
Guard your spirit lest you lose it
Rise up, take charge against the evil one

Strike the oppressor
Strike the oppressor
Strike the oppressor
Strike the oppressor


7. GOD IS WITH US

God is our shelter and strength
Always ready to help in times of trouble
So we will not be afraid even if the Earth is shaken
And mountains fall into the ocean depths
Even if the seas roar and rage
And the hills are shaken by the violence

Supreme among the nations, supreme over the world
The Lord Almighty is with us, God is our refuge

There is a river that brings joy to the city of God
To the sacred house of the most high
God is in that city and it will never be destroyed
At early dawn he will come to its aid
Nations are terrified, kingdoms are shaken
God thunders and the Earth dissolves

Supreme among the nations, supreme over the world
The Lord Almighty is with us, God is our refuge

Come and see what the Lord has done
See what amazing things he has done on Earth
He stops wars all over the world
He breaks bows, destroys spears
And sets shields on fire
Stop fighting he says, and know that I am God

Supreme among the nations, supreme over the world
The Lord Almighty is with us, God is our refuge

Supreme among the nations, supreme over the world
The Lord Almighty is with us, God is our refuge


8. GLIMPSE OF ARMAGEDDON

Glimpse of Armageddon, an apocalyptic scene
Death has come here, oh so very near
Foreign aid is stopped when leaders don't comply
Hunger and disease, the poor and innocent suffer more

There is a pale horse rider among us today
But it might not be what you see on TV
Fed lies through the propaganda machine
So easy to judge when you only see one side

Reaping all the souls, showing no mercy
War has come here, oh so very near
Equipped with chemical and nuclear warfare
Tank filled with all kinds of evil and deceit

Cursed by war as fire, smoke and sulfur burn
Will mankind ever wake up and learn

With desire for sin and appetite for destruction
Mankind won't turn away from what he himself has made

Asylum seekers sent to prison camps, fooled by illegal trade
When governments traffic humans it makes it all OK
People are microchipped, traced wherever they are
Emails monitored, invading privacy, has this gone too far
