There's war in the heavens
Rebellion on high
the son of the morning
Descends from a black sky

Severed and broken
His wings burned to dust
His coverings of diamonds and gold
In a moment in time dissolve to rust

Thunder and lightning
Shatter the night
The dragon of darkness
Appears cursed by the keeper of the light

The dark is chosen
The scroll has been sealed
Hidden in verses of prophets
His face is revealed

Songs of glory
Shout across the land
I can take you there
Child of mine, take my hand

Down through the ages
The story's been told
The daughter of wisdom
Beguiled by the serpent of old

Born into sin in a valley of thorns
Torn from enchantment and
Tossed into the eye of the storm
Heaven's garden
Made by God for man
This is paradise
Child of mine, take my hand

Glory to glory
Sin after sin
The rider of death
Pushes on to the place where
The battle must begin

Songs of glory
Shout across the land
This is paradise
Won't you take my hand
Heaven's garden
Made by God for man
This is paradise
Child of mine, take my hand
Oh, take my hand
This is paradise
