Songtext Fighter/thief in the night Cliff Richard

Fighter/thief in the night

My eyes may see the coming King in all His majesty
In company all dressed in white
But meanwhile here at the world's dark end
The dragon draws the iron curtain round against the Light
And souls grow weary in this war of Love
And seek their solace strolling down sweet civilian ways
But meanwhile back at the world's dark end
The nations see no future waiting for the serpent to strike
Where have all the Christian soldiers gone
Where is the resistance, will no-one be strong
When will we stand up tall and straight
Rise up and storm the gate
How can we fail to get excited
The battle is ours why don't we fight it
Battalions of darkness rise above me
But God put a fighter in me, put a fighter in me
We will sing songs of victory
We will arise and set men free
We will applaud Your Majesty
We will proclaim Your Kingdom come
We will announce the battle done
We will lift up the Righteous One

I could talk for hours but you wouldn't hear a word
Your own opinions make you blind
There will come a mornnig when the sand has all run out
And there will be no time to change your mind

Like a thief in the night He will come
There will be nowhere left you can run
You can fall with the night, or you can rise
With the Sun

Like a thief in the night He will come
There will be nowhere left you can run
You can fall with the night, or you can rise
With the Sun
