lyrics

​Messiah took this world by force
Messiah took the world by force
I could hear children crying
I could see people dying
I could see the cities falling
I could hear the saviour calling

(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah took this world by force) He took this world by force [x2]

Red clouds blotted out the sun
Darkness fell on everyone
Rivers of blood were running
I could see the armies coming
I could see their weapons falling
I could hear the angels calling

(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah took this world by force) He took this world by force

(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah) He took this world by force

The bear from the north
And the dragon from the east
Descended upon the armies of Israel
And slaughtered them
And in that moment
The chosen of Israel cried out for Messiah
And Messiah came

Messiah Messiah

(Messiah Messiah Messiah took this world by force)

(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah took this world by force) He took this world by force [x2]

(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah took this world by force) Took this world by force
