War

(album: The Good Life - 2012)

This is war
Like you ain't seen
This winter's long
It's cold and mean
When life and death go to battle, ain't no telling what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no telling what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no telling what'll happen
It's war tonight, it's death and life

This the kind of war you ain't never seen ever
Soldiers getting ragged, homie, heads getting severed
Death toll's crazy like nothing on record
Civilians ain't safe, man, the troops might get ya
Can't run or hide, 'cause them guys gon' catch ya
They never get tired, never let up
They're fired up, wired up, to put you on a stretcher
But is the good side tough enough? You bet yah
Yeah you got bad guys, you know they a problem
Tryna overthrow the King, yep that's what we call Him
No life fulla dark knights, no Gotham
This ain't fake death, no possum, can't anybody stop 'em?
Tombstones everywhere, dead bodies rotting
Big glocks popping, bodies still dropping
But I ain't gon' cry though, 'cause Death'll get swallowed
The Father sent His Son and the troops gon' follow

This is war
Like you ain't seen
This winter's long
It's cold and mean
When life and death go to battle, ain't no telling what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no telling what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no telling what'll happen
It's war tonight, it's death and life

The Son came down to the wasteland we in
A death-filled mess, He'll win, no leaving
No rest til Death's killed, the fight ain't even
And death won't be left still breathing (get'm)
The Son's on the frontline crossing their borders
Invading enemy land, but they can't thwart Him
A good troop will graze him, and they ain't even force him
But God use that sin to support Him
They capture the King, next thing they shots rang out
General is down, the troops are like "We out"
The life-giver dies, and the other side celebrates
But they ain't know that hell is fate, the devil faced
They never say, if he's the beast who's the featherweight
Just when they thought they took Him down, He would elevate
Death can never take pride in that blow
'Cause the King beat death when He died and He rose

This is war
Like you ain't seen
This winter's long
It's cold and mean
When life and death go to battle, ain't no telling what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no telling what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no telling what'll happen
It's war tonight, it's death and life

It really might seem like the war's still going
People still dying, sin is still potent
The devil's still tempting, and evil ain't slowing
Just wait until that trumpet gets blowing
The general is coming with keys in His hands
The death and Hades they'll freeze where they stand
To see they've been defeated, please understand
If they don't wanna see Him, bro the King is the man
He's the man of war, a beast on the battlefield
Obliterating all the evil forces that are killed
What you seen, death? Oh you don't got it, bro
Where's your victory? Oh you've been swallowed whole
And when He's back ain't no fighting Jehovah
He'll toss you in a lake of burning fire and sulphur
He's a titan, a soldier
He'll wipe away our tears, and our fears, and all our pain and death will be over

This is war
On sin and death
The dark will take
It's final breath
When life and death go to battle, ain't no telling what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no telling what'll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain't no telling what'll happen
It's war tonight, it's death and life
