The Power of Jesus
from The Stranger and the Hightide by Moron Police
lyrics
The Power of Jesus
You were the one to leave us
You were the one before
I’ve got the power of Jesus
Now, everybody down on the floor
They said they couldn’t believe it
They’ve seen it all before
Shadows at your door
Now everybody’s down on the floor
But hey, do you know me?
I swear I know you well
The fire inside, it came from Hell
What do you want from me?
The fire drags me down
The trigger is me, I might as well
And what would you do
If you recognize the words that come from you?
All of the heavens ablaze
Spiraling down, oh my mind!
Would you feel?
Would you empathize with words that come from me?
If all of our systems were gone, if you’re wondering how, I’ll let you see
Even if I could leave it
You’ve seen it all before
I think it’s time to repeat it
While everybody’s down on the floor
But hey, do you know me?
I swear I know you well
The fire inside, it came from Hell
What do you want from me?
The fire drags me down
The trigger is me, and you’re in Hell
And what would you do
If you recognize the words that come from you?
Speaking in tongues to believe
All that I see in my mind
To be free, to be rid of this and all the things I feel
A hand and the pressure to steal
All of my life, God, I kneel!
You were the one to leave us
You were the one before
I’ve got the power of Jesus
Now, everybody down on the floor
They said they couldn’t believe it
They’ve seen it all before
Shadows at your door
Now everybody’s down on the floor
But hey, do you know me?
I swear I know you well
The fire inside, it came from Hell
What do you want from me?
The fire drags me down
The trigger is me, I might as well
And what would you do
If you recognize the words that come from you?
All of the heavens ablaze
Spiraling down, oh my mind!
Would you feel?
Would you empathize with words that come from me?
If all of our systems were gone, if you’re wondering how, I’ll let you see
Even if I could leave it
You’ve seen it all before
I think it’s time to repeat it
While everybody’s down on the floor
But hey, do you know me?
I swear I know you well
The fire inside, it came from Hell
What do you want from me?
The fire drags me down
The trigger is me, and you’re in Hell
And what would you do
If you recognize the words that come from you?
Speaking in tongues to believe
All that I see in my mind
To be free, to be rid of this and all the things I feel
A hand and the pressure to steal
All of my life, God, I kneel!

Another project of the songwriter of Moron Police. Very silly, but catchy, Power Metal. About a dragon living in a sink and a penguin in a swimsuit that eats babies.
