Return Of The Revolution
There ain't no stopping us now I'd like to say the from the outset Not up in this business just to get what we can get But bet that We gonna bring it to you loud and clear How loud I gotta say it ‘fore you people start to hear I can name our problems But I know a solution Bring back the revolution The revolution comes and we all stand as one Rises from the darkness and shines like the sun As the sun gets higher, our church catches fire Down from our pride and up from the mire It's a dream that I've had and I hope it comes true I forgot to say the revolution starts with you See wisdom and knowledge is one thing that we lack You've been a Christian how long and you're still on Similac So I call on Martin Luther and all the reformation back Then the common people couldn't read God's revelation You had to be a monk or a priest or read Latin That was all before the revolution happened But the fire cooled down ever since that generation We put down the Bible and pick up the play station And we can't defend our faith cause we don't even know it We say we love His word but pick a funny way to show it SongtexteThe world walks by and we don't have a thing to say I call em as I see em And that's what I see today Chorus The revolution returns The reformation lives on The great awakening is now Sleepers open your eyes A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise No compromise, yeah, no compromise A war is on, our battle cry is no compromise So throw your fist up and pray the revolution rise A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise Our hearts have grown so cold And we've such numb souls But shirts and bumper stickers Man we got em by the truckload Is true religion what you have around your wrist What does the scripture say of this They honor me with words But their hearts are far away I call em like I see em And that's what I see today So I call on John Edwards Who preached us all awake We try to be emotional but here is our mistake As a church we lack repentance and we lack true affection Not only in our minds but our hearts need correction And man that's true religion, resignation and contrition To love each other so much that we'd die before division Chorus So what about you Will you join us Will you admit that the waters around us have grown You better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone Do you stand with us or do we stand alone It's time that we stand up, enlist for the war I've tasted battle and now I want more I've known the truth and been cut to the core But I'm back in the game to even the score And I mean to go out with both my guns blazing Amazed at a God who's so truly amazing To triumph in battle as the Spirit enables Can't turn back the clock but we can turn the tables Aus Songtexte Mania
