The devil laughed and said I've won God has lost his only son The brightest star no longer shines Finally this world is mine Then he gathered all his demons near He said we have conquered love with fear Meanwhile back at the cross All is not lost Forgiveness is bought with each drop of his blood It falls to the ground Mercy abounds As Mother Mary's tears fall down To see her precious son pay the cost The devil said we'll use their pride We'll attack them from inside Fill their hearts with vanity Til their differences are all they'll see Black and white, rich and poor To justify their holy war Take a look around Turn on the evening news The devil said there's no way I'm gonna lose Hate is everywhere Love cannot be found It took me two thousand years But it's almost over now
