Lyrics

1. DANCING ON THE HEAD OF THE SERPENT

There's a fallen angel on a throne in every capitalcity
Ruling with "wisdom" that manipulates the children of this century
Pulling the kings like puppets on strings bowing their knees to him

Dancing on the head of the serpent
Dancing on the head of the serpent

His name is lust, his name is pride his name is deceptive knowledge
But still he has a nail in his eye he can't buy the saints in the city
He tries and he tries but they won't compromise they show him no mercy no pity
And that's alright, that's alright

Dancing on the head of the serpent

He sits on a throne with an arrogant smile thinking he's gonna stay there forever
But the King of the Saints is mounting His steps there is a judgement to settle
And in a short moment his face turns surprised before he is thrown to the ground
That's alright, that's alright

Dancing on the head of the serpent
Dancing on the head of the serpent


2. PLUNDER HELL AND POPULATE HEAVEN

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was invited to a party with some friends of mine,
First I didn't wanna go, but then I changed my mind,
So I went to the place where they had such a good time, just to see the kids partying in Hell's waiting line, hey, yeah, yeah,
I've seen it before: the way the devil rock and roll, (whoa)
I really like the kids but I can't stand the devil at all, oh, oh, oh, ah.

Come on, come on,
Let's plunder Hell and populate Heaven,
Come on, come on,
Let's plunder Hell and populate Heaven right now.

Well, I couldn't just sit there pretending everything was nice, so I stood up on a chair and started to preach Jesus Christ,
I talked about the real life, talked about the real thing,
And they said, "We have been waiting...been waiting for the real king,"
The power of God made the whole place rock and shake,
Heaven or Hell is a choice every kid's gotta make, make, take, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Come on, come on,
Let's plunder Hell and populate Heaven,
Come on, come on,
Let's plunder Hell and populate Heaven right now.

Storming the gates of Hell.

Come on, come on,
Let's plunder Hell and populate Heaven,
Come on, come on, hey, hey,
Let's plunder Hell and populate Heaven right now,
Come on, come on,
Come on, come on, come on,
Let's plunder Hell and populate Heaven,
Come on, come on,
Let's plunder Hell and populate Heaven,
Let's plunder Hell and populate Heaven,
Let's plunder Hell and populate Heaven right now,
Come on, come on, right now.


3. REBELS OF JESUS CHRIST

There goes a warning, a warning in the nation
There's an army ready for invasion
There's banner flapping in the wind
There's a battle declared against sin, against sin

They will always make the devil nervous, Join the army
They are cutting deep, far below the surface, Join the army

There's a people who knows to speak the truth
There's a people with no dignity to lose
There's a peolpe that never pretend
There's a people with healing in their hands

And they are coming in the spirit of Samson, Join the army
Nothing is too big they don't pay attention, Join the army

[Chorus 1:]
Rebels of Jesus Christ, with music like thunder
Rebels of Jesus Christ, never, never, ever under
Rebels of Jesus Christ, rebels of Jesus Christ
Salvation, miracles, and we love you

[Chorus 2:]
Rebels of Jesus Christ, with music like thunder
Rebels of Jesus Christ, they're never, never, ever under
Rebels of Jesus Christ, swinging their weapons high
And we're fighting, and we're coming, and we love you


4. LISTEN TO ME

Listen to me
Guard your heart, it's a wellspring of life
Put away perversity from your mouth and keep corrupt talk far from your lips

Listen to me
The way of the immoral leads to death
Don't follow the lust of your eyes
Destruction comes sudden on the evil path

Wisdom is better than chosen gold
Knowledge from heaven gives a fruit hundredfold
Don't let your feet walk the wicked way
Let your heart be corrected, and you won't go astray

Listen to me
Righteousness exalts a whole nation
But sin is a disgrace to the people
When the good rule, it brings understanding

Listen to me
The generous man will prosper
Giving is a secret for wealth
Riches belong to the King and His people

Learning the hard way is a waste of time
Accept words of wisdom, and your heart won't be blind
When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone
But the righteous forever, will stand firm and strong

Wisdom is better than chosen gold
Knowledge from heaven gives a fruit hundredfold
Don't let your feet walk the wicked way
Let your heart be corrected, and you won't go astray


5. WOE, WOE... THE GREAT FALL

Woe, woe, great Babylon
Whoa, you are a great fool, Babylon
You're gonna drink your cup whether you want it or not

The kings of the earth will cry over you
Your filth and adultery is tormenting them
Yes, fallen, yes, fallen is Babylon the great
The cup of God's wrath is what they have to taste

Come, come, watch and see
Where is her glory and luxury?
Ooh, the great prostitute is gone
Doom on the sinful Babylon

She's been like a queen, but she's now like a widow
And all of her wisdom, trust, and hope have vanished
She gathered herself with the Beast and his servants
In pride, she deceived herself unto judgement

Come, come and watch the scriptures fulfilled
Come, come and watch, and see the signs of the times
Come, come you nations, great and small
City of power will fall, will fall

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Wash, wash your hands; wash off the dirt
And clean your hearts, you citizens of Earth
Make up your mind; it's time, it's time
Saints and sinners do not drink the same wine

Come, come and watch the justice from Heaven
Come, come and watch the signs of the age
Come, come you nations, great and small
The King of kings is calling you all

Oh, and she's falling, falling, falling, falling

Whoa


6. WE'RE GONNA TAKE EUROPE

We're gonna take Europe
We're gonna shake Europe
The walls of Europe are going to fall

The pride of the western world, how come you have not seen or heard?
Dead religion's a curse for every nation, but you can't fool this young generation

We're gonna take Europe
We're gonna shake Europe
The walls of Europe are going to fall

This continent will see the light: salvation comes only through Jesus Christ
Revival shakes you like a tree, healing is gonna come upon you strongly

We're gonna shake Europe
We're gonna take Europe
The walls of Europe are going to fall by the power of God, of God
Oh yeah

It's like a fire, consuming fire


7. COME HIGHER

I'm strong bold as a lion
Stronger than a bull
Strong to move the mountains
Strong in my spirit and soul
My heart grows hot within me
It's like a burning fire
So why should I fear people
when God is on my side?

[Chorus:]
Over or under, head or tail
Come higher, come higher
Don't walk around with your
head hanging down, come higher

My inner man is eager
To scream out in the night
My tounge can't remain quiet,
Must speak the mighty works of God
And even if I try to,
I cannot hide the truth
And even if they paid me
I still will let it through

[Chorus]

Don't lay in the dust,
Stand up on your feet
You're strong, don't give in
Cause God's on your side
Move up to the level of victory
Come higher

[Repeat]

You gotta stand up on your feet
Brothers and Sisters, God is on your side
Come higher, come higher


8. CATCH THE DEVIL, CATCH THE THIEF

A thief broke into my house last night
He came when I was asleep
He took my joy, took my smile, blew my light
He took my boldness to keep
An easy job for him, it didn't take long
til my possessions were gone

[Chorus:]
Catch the Devil, catch the Thief
His place is under my feet
Catch the Devil, catch the Thief
Breakin' his spell, no Devil in Hell
will ever control me

I was so mad, when I saw what he'd done
I wanted to get revenge
Next time he tries to get into my house
I'm gonna kick him out
For all the things he's been taking from me
It's gonna cost him a lot

Some people say, it's already too late
Nothing can change this world
Speaking for darkness, making a big mistake
For the message they've never heard

[Chorus]

You can also beat him and you surely will
Strike first it's your dominion
He's just a problem when you don't know
That Jesus is the Champion
So wherever you are, and wherever you go
Go cast the devil out, out


9. THE NIGHT WHEN REVELATION CAME INTO MY LIFE

I can't sleep, taking a walk on the city streets
Time's almost four o'clock in the morning
Thinking back on my life, I've done so many stupid things,
Feels like a heavy burden is hanging over me
Turning my head up to the stary sky
Whose finger has done this?. I wonder why
Guilt is a high price to pay
I wish someone could help me take it away
Feel so lonely in the night,
And even if the stars are shining bright
I feel I have to be forgiven, born again and free

I'm walking with a million questions

I had to cry out from my heart:
"Please God if You're there, help me,
I don't know where to start!"
And there on the street that night,
A silent voice spoke right into my life, said:
"Don't live for yourself anymore,
Lay down your life for Me"
Those words hit me where I stood,
And I just knew it was the truth,
And with a joy I never felt before I said:
"I accept you Lord!"
Tears was fallin' from my eye,
I must have been a funny sight,
But I didn't care, cause I was free
Jesus was there together with me

I didn't know You were so close to me

I know You were hanging on the cross for me
I know You died for me
And I love You, I love You
I know Your blood was shed for me
And I love you


10. STILL

To all hearts, all souls,
weary and down, tramled to the ground
Why drink water from those lousy fountains
When you can get it fresh

[Chorus:]
It's still not too late for you
Your heart is still beatin'
And grace is still for the taken
And salvation is still for you

Darkness is pregnant with evil
But the light shines brighter than ever
Turn your heart to face your Maker
He has made you, He's the Creator

[Chorus]

Don't sit with the wicked
Stand up, be strong
Shake their bonds off your shoulders
Even if war, if Hell, breakes out against you
you will rejoice
Cause the Lord is your stronghold
forever and ever
He is faithful, forever and ever
Hallelujah
