Since the 2000 yrs of Jesus Christ's death there has never been more persecution of His followers. Whether you see it or not, it is real. THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT IS REAL, GOD IS REAL, AND HIS PWER WILL NOT BE STOPPED NO MATTER HOW HARD OTHERS TRY.

lyrics

THERE WERE THE ONE'S WHO WERE BURNED AT THE STAKE IN ROME
AND EVERYBODY GATHERED ROUND TO SEE EM
THERE WERE THE ONE'S WHO WERE HUNTED DOWN IN SPORT WHILE THEY SHOUTED AT THE COLISEUM

THERE WERE THE ONE'S WHO PREACHED AND WERE BOILED ALIVE BUT A SMILE WA CLEARLY SEEN
THEY TRIED TO STOP IT AND THEY TRIED TO QUENCH IT
BUT IT ONLY SEEMED TO SET EM FREE

IF THEY DIE THEY DIE WITH THE SWORD IN THEIR HAND
IF THEY DIE THEY DIE WITH THE SWORD IN THEIR HAND
IF THEY DIE THEY DIE WITH THE SWORD IN THEIR HAND
YOU CAN'T SILENCE THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB (2x)

THERE WERE THE ONE'S WHO WERE STONED
THE ONE'S BEHEADED, THE ONE'S IN THE LION'S DEN
THERE WERE THE ONE'S WALKING SLOWLY WITH THEIR HEADS HELD HIGH, THOUGH TURNED IN BY A FRIEND

THERE WERE THE HYPOCRITES WITH THEIR CROOKED SMILES
A LIVING CONTRADICTION
THEY POKED AND JABBED THEIR CROOKED FINGER
AT JESUS' CRUCIFIXION (CRUCIFY)

IF THEY DIE THEY DIE WITH THE SWORD IN THEIR HAND
IF THEY DIE THEY DIE WITH THE SWORD IN THEIR HAND
IF THEY DIE THEY DIE WITH THE SWORD IN THEIR HAND
YOU CAN'T SILENCE THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB (4x)
