The Spirit of Man
The voice of the Devil is heard in our land!
Listen, do you hear them drawing near, in their search for the sinners?
Feeding on the power of our fear and the evil within us
Incarnation of Satan's creation of all that we dread
When the demons arrive those alive would be better off dead
There must be something worth living for
There must be something worth trying for
Even somethings worth dying for
And if one man can stand tall
There must be hope for us all
Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man
Once, there was a time when I believed without hesitation
That the power of love and truth could conquer all in the name of salvation
Tell me what kind of weapon is love when it comes to the fight?
And just how much protection is truth against all Satan's might?
There must be something worth living for
There must be something worth trying for
Even some things worth dying for
And if one man can stand tall
There must be some hope for us all
Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man
"Pray", I said! "Destroy the devil", I said!
They wouldn't listen!
I could have saved the world! But now it's too late too late!
No Nathaniel, oh no Nathaniel
No Nathaniel, no, there must be more to life
There has to be a way that we can restore to life the love we used to know
No, Nathaniel, no, there must be more to life
There has to be a way that we can restore to life the light that we have lost
Now darkness has descended on our land and all your prayers cannot save us
Like fools we've let the devil take command of the souls that God gave us
To the altar of evil like lambs to the slaughter we're led
When the demons arrive the survivors will envy the dead!
There must be something worth living for
No, there is nothing!
There must be something worth trying for
I don't believe it's so!
Even something worth dying for
If just one man could stand tall
There would be some hope for us all
Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man
There is a curse on mankind
We may as well be resigned
To let the devil, the devil take the spirit of man
Listen, do you hear them drawing near, in their search for the sinners?
Feeding on the power of our fear and the evil within us
Incarnation of Satan's creation of all that we dread
When the demons arrive those alive would be better off dead
There must be something worth living for
There must be something worth trying for
Even somethings worth dying for
And if one man can stand tall
There must be hope for us all
Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man
