Syringe - Requiem [Christian Metal] (lyrics)

Melodic UnBlack/Death Metal Band: Syringe Song: Requiem Album: Former Life Departure Year: 2002 (re-recorded and extended in 2012) Country: USA Lyrics: Behold the killing fields The hordes preparing for battle The angelic host stands ready Lucifer doomed to fall War broke out in Heaven Angelic blood was shed Michael and his angels fought The dragon and his angels bled Satan was not strong enough Lost his place above The great dragon was hurled down That ancient serpent called the devil Who leads the whole world astray Day of wrath, the day of mourning See fulfilled the prophets' warning Heaven and Earth in ashes burning I saw Satan plummet Like lightning from the skies He prowls like a roaring lion To devour with his demise I saw an angel Come down out of Heaven He holds the key The chains are ready He seized the ancient serpent Bound him for a thousand years Thrown into the Abyss Locked and sealed When the thousand years are over Satan will be released To deceive the nations Legions have been gathered Like the sands of the seashore They march across the earth Surrounding God's people
