Spectres of darkness reign within
Where Satan’s demons smile
Where aching hearts are steeped in sin
And thoughts are plagued with bile
Whilst ignorance thinks nothing wrong
Whilst shadows cloud the mind
Gladly we sing our foolish song
Serving the devil blind
While demons cheat and tell their lies
While Satan seeks to kill
Our evil deeds keep blind our eyes
And hearts grow heavier still
Actions control the way we think
Words can the soul impede
Yet deeper depths we stoop and sink
Till lost in total need
Where ignorance; still wears a crown
And darkness takes more hold
The devil pulls us deeper down
And hearts grow icy cold
Though Satan seems our soul has won
Though death lays wide its doors
Calling to Christ God’s Lamb and Son
Will lock the devil’s jaws
The blood of Christ has conquered death!
Has freed us from disgrace
So hope remains whilst still there’s breath
And God affords us grace
Such knowledge is a treasure rare
To Heaven’s Gate the key
A guarantee with Christ to share
The spoils of victory
