LYRICS:

WITH THE GUARDS OF MAGOG SWARMING AROUND!
THE PIED PIPER TAKES HIS CHILDREN UNDERGROUND...
DRAGON'S COMING OUT OF THE SEA!!
SHIMMERING SILVER HEAD OF WISDOM LOOKING AT ME
HE BRINGS DOWN THE FIRE FROM THE SKIES!
YOU CAN TELL HE'S DOING WELL, BY THE LOOK IN HUMAN EYES
YOU'D BETTER NOT COMPROMISE... IT WON'T BE EASY!!

666 IS NO LONGER ALONE!!!
HE'S GETTING OUT THE MARROW IN YOUR BACK BONE!
AND THE SEVEN TRUMPETS BLOWING SWEET ROCK & ROLL!!
GONNA BLOW RIGHT DOWN INSIDE YOUR SOUL!
PYTHAGORAS WITH THE LOOKING-GLASS REFLECTING THE FULL MOON
IN BLOOD! HE'S WRITING THE LYRICS! OF A BRAND NEW TUNE!!

AND IT'S HEY BABE, WITH YOUR GUARDIAN EYES SO BLUE...
HEY MY BABY, DON'T YOU KNOW OUR LOVE IS TRUE?
I'VE BEEN SO FAR FROM HERE, FAR FROM YOUR LOVING ARMS
NOW I'M BACK AGAIN AND BABY IT'S GOING TO WORK OUT FINE!

CAN'T YOU FEEL OUR SOULS IGNITE?
SHEDDING EVER CHANGING COLOURS...
IN THE DARKNESS OF THE FADING NIGHT?
LIKE THE RIVER JOINS THE OCEAN
AS THE GERM IN A SEED GROWS
WE HAVE FINALLY BEEN FREED TO GET BACK HOME!
THERE'S AN ANGEL STANDING IN THE SUN
AND HE'S CRYING WITH A LOUD VOICE...

THIS IS THE SUPPER OF THE MIGHTY ONE!

LORD OF LORDS!

KING OF KINGS!

HAS RETURNED TO LEAD HIS CHILDREN HOME!

TO TAKE THEM TO THE NEW JERUSALEM!!!!!!
