CHRIST'S VICTORY


The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won. SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY

You broke the bonds
And you loosed the chains
Carried the cross of my shame

Oh my shame, you know I believe it. 
I STILL HAVEN’T FOUND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR

I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide. 
WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN
​

I want to go, to the foot of Mount Zion
To the foot of He who made me see
To the side of a hill blood was spilt
We were filled with a love
And we're going to be there again
. WITH A SHOUT (JERUSALEM)

You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom. WALK ON 

One man came he to justify. PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE)

The rule has been disproved
The stone it has been moved
The grave is now a groove
All debts are removed
. WINDOW IN THE SKIES

SKEPTICAL CONTRAST:

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploding 'cause of one man's lie. THE FLY

She's not waiting on a saviour to come...
She's not waiting for anyone...

She already knows it hurts
She's living like it the last night on earth. 
LAST NIGHT ON EARTH

A man will beg 
A man will crawl 
On the sheer face of love 
Like a fly on a wall 
It's no secret at all. THE FLY

No, nothing makes sense, nothing seems to fit
I know you'd hit out if you only knew who to hit
And I'd join the movement 
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah, I'd break bread and wine 
If there was a church I could receive in. ACROBAT
