Prevail

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)



By strength can no man prevail.
His schemes will all fail.

Fallen, they  lay in the dirt.

Prisoners now blind
Corrupted in mind,
No caring for what is offended.

Sowing increase.
Reaping grief.

Rejecting the One,
Those love was to come,

How could we be so stupid.

See what's been done!
The spells that were spun,
Have left us in spiritual ruin.

If we return,
Regain what we earn,
The spell will be broken.

The fight they will see,
Not you and me,
But another,
Who has our devotion.

Man cannot win,
If he messes with sin.

God's laws cannot be broken.

So flee while you can.

They must understand.

Tell them:
I am not jokin.
