STRYPER LYRICS

1. Yahweh

A crown of thorns, it was placed on His head
They clothed him in purple and stated their case
“He is The King of the Jews" as they slapped His face

Pilate said, “I find no reason to charge Him.”
As soon as they saw Him they said, "Crucify.
He just proclaimed to be God, He surely must die."

[Chorus]
Yahweh - Yahweh - Yahweh!

When Pilate heard this he was afraid
He asked The Lord where do You come from
Don’t You realize I have power to free or kill The Son

Jesus finally decided to answer him,
"You have no power at all over Me.
If it didn’t come from above, you’re too blind to see."

[Chorus]
Yahweh - Yahweh - Yahweh!
Yahweh - Yahweh - Yahweh!

And so, the soldiers took Jesus
Dragging His cross to a place where He knew
They hung a sign that would read “The King Of The Jews”

They nailed His flesh to the wood
He said, “It’s Finished,” and laid down His life
Gave up His spirit for all - He was crucified!

[Chorus]
Yahweh - Yahweh - Yahweh!
Yahweh - Yahweh - Yahweh!

2. Fallen

You were filled with pride because you were so beautiful
Your wisdom was corrupted for the sake of your splendor
You were cast down to the ground, exposed before the kings
Deceiver of the world, you know you'll always be the great pretender

Now you're fallen, fallen, fallen

You used to be so blameless from the day you came to be
Unrighteousness, it reared its evil face inside of you
You were once anointed, when you walked the music played
Like lighting from the sky, you were forever thrown from heaven too

Now you're fallen, fallen, fallen
The end is calling, calling, fallen

Now you're fallen, fallen, fallen
The end is calling, calling, fallen
Now you're fallen, fallen, fallen

3. Pride

We all have something to do
And we all have somewhere
That we're going to
We all have something to say
And we'll take down
Those who get in our way
We let the mind control the heart
Tearing the best we have apart
We've got convictions deep inside
We've got to let it ride

Tell me why? Pride!
Tell me why...

Two friends who shared the past
No one could have guessed
That it wouldn't last
I know it can be restored
If forgiveness is something
That's never ignored
We can't let fear and jealousy
Take everything that we should be
We can't let life just pass us by
We've got to let it ride

Tell me why? Pride!
Tell me why...

Pride! You've got to tell me why...
Tell me why? Pride!
You've got to tell me why - pride!
Tell me why? Pride!
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why...

4. Big Screen Lies

You've got to love how they portray Christianity
Just a freak another fool for the world to see
Twisting and distorting all, making money too
Mocking every thing that's said, they don't have a clue - no!

[Chorus:]
Big screen lies, it's no surprise
I'm getting wise, to the big screen lies

It's the way it's always been, persecuting rules
As the wolves lie in their den, sharpening their tools
Feasting on the faith of those, who dare to make it known
As a warning to the foes, you'll reap what you've sown - oh yeah!

[Chorus:]
Big screen lies, it's no surprise
I'm getting wise, to the big screen lies

[Chorus:]
Big screen lies, it's no surprise
I'm getting wise, to the big screen lies
Big screen lies, it's no surprise
I'm getting wise, to the big screen lies

5. Heaven

I am standing
Even though I've been to hell and back
Taking off and landing
With my heart in place and faith in tact
I won't give up
Even though the odds, they tell me to
I'm here with a purpose
Every word I say and thing I do

My destiny will never die
I'll never guess or wonder why

I choose heaven - I choose heaven
I choose heaven!

This world spins
Every deed that's done, misunderstood
At times it's a no-win situation
To defend what's good
It takes courage
To look the devil in the eyes
And say "get away"
I can see right through your cheap disguise

I choose heaven - confession
I choose heaven - I choose heaven!

I choose heaven - accession
I choose heaven
I choose heaven - confession
Accession - I choose heaven!

6. Love You Like I Do

You've only seen just a glimpse of me
(So you just can't leave me now)
I want to show you the world I see
(But you just can't leave me now)
I've got it all, what you want and need
(But you just can't leave me now)

No one will love you like I do
If only you'd just believe that
No one will ever look at you
The way that I do - love you like I do

I carried you when you could not walk
(Tell me why would you leave me now?)
I was your voice when you could not talk
(So why would you leave me now?)
We're almost there, with a little to bear
(But you just can't leave me now)

No one will love you like I do
If only you'd just believe that
No one will ever look at you
The way that I do (oh no)

No one will ever love you - the way that I do

No one will love you like I do
No one could ever love you
No one will ever look at you
That way that I do
No one will love you like I do
On one will ever look at you
On now could ever look at you
Love you like I do
Love you like I do

7. All Over Again

I've seen it good, I've seen the bad
That's just the way it goes
Misunderstood
Happy or sad I'm sure what I feel shows

But here I am gratefully
Alive and well thankfully

If I had the chance to do it all again
No I wouldn't change a thing
(I wouldn't change a thing)
I've lived the life of a thousand men
With the honor of a king
And I'd do it all over again

I've made choices
I'll take the blame for everything I do
My heart rejoices
Cause there ain't no shame
When you let love through

No matter how high or low
I'm gonna let you know, baby

If I had the chance to do it all again
No I wouldn't change a thing
(I wouldn't change a thing)
I've lived the life of a thousand men
With the honor of a king
And I'd do it all over again

If I had the chance to do it all again
No I wouldn't change a thing
(I wouldn't change a thing)
I've lived the life of a thousand men
With the honor of a king
And I'd do it all over again
With the honor of a king
And I'd do it all again with you

8. After Forever

[originally by Black Sabbath]

Have you ever thought about your soul
Can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead
You just stay in your grave

Is God just a thought within your head
Or is He a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book
When you were in school?

When you think about death
Do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the pope
On the end of a rope, do you think he's a fool?

Well, I have seen the truth, yes, I've seen the light
And I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared
At the end of our days

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
That God is the only way to love

Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run?
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say that you may as well worship the sun?

I think it was true
It was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad
The opinion you had was the only one voiced

Will you be so sure when your day is near
Say you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down
Now you can't retrieve

Perhaps you'll think before you say
That God is dead and gone
Open your eyes
Just realize that He's the one

The only One who can save you
Now from all this sin and hate
Or will you still jeer at all you hear?
Yes, I think it's too late

9. Till I Get What I Need

I came in sixty-three
With a song in my head
I grew up impatiently
Thinking too far ahead
With no choice I started to voice
Everything I believed
I knew you that I was the one
Who would never retreat

No - till I get what I need
No - till I get what I need
Till I get what I need

On the run and chasing the sun
Never looking behind
It ain't over till it's done
And I'm able to find
The one thing that drives me
To reach far beyond the stars
I won't break, I'm not gonna breach
Until I make my mark

No - till I get what I need
No - till I get what I need
Oh - till I get what I need
Till I get what I need

No - can I get what I need
No - can I get what I need
Oh - can I get what I need
Can I get what I need

No - will I get what I need
No - will I get what I need
Oh - will I get what I need
Will I get what I need

10. Let There Be Light

On the first day He made Heaven
Then earth and said let there be light
Then He separated the water from the sky
The ground becomes land
And waters became the seas, He was pleased
Trees would take root and live to bear fruit

Let there be light
Day and a night
Stars shining bright
Let there be light!

And then upon the fifth day
Fish would swim and birds could fly
Land bearing creatures
All according to their kind
And so it shall be
A man and a woman after Thee
And He was pleased
Soon they’ll increase and rule every beast

Let there be light
Day and a night
Stars shining bright
Let there be light!

Let there be light
Day and a night
Stars shining bright
Let there be light!

11. The Calling

I've seen the other side
It's not what the world wants you to believe
I've traveled far and wide
And I've learned that things
Aren't what you perceive

But that's just life, take it all in stride

Keep running for the line
And looking for a sign
The planets will align
Because you have the calling

When all the lights go out
It's impossible to find your way
We start believing doubt
And all our weaknesses are on display

It's as good or as bad as you want it to be

Keep running for the line
And looking for a sign
The planets will align
Because you have the calling

Keep running for the line
And looking for a sign
The planets will align
Because you have the calling

12. King Of Kings

Do you believe in God?
Do you accept his mercy
Or is he just a fairytale?
Is Christ a fraud?
Or is He true and worthy
Is He the One you choose to hail?

He is the King of Kings
And the Lord of Lords
He died at Calvary
So we could live forevermore

Sometimes we all have doubt
And many times we're empty
But there's a constant that we need
When love is all about
Protecting and defending
There isn't room for our own greed

He is the King of Kings
And the Lord of Lords
He died at Calvary
So we could live forevermore
[3x]
