	作曲 : Smith
	As I sit alone and tired, with time to spare
	temptation rears its ugly head
	Born from a deceptive dream into a nightmare
	it calls to me again
	Testing me to see if I will break this time
	or at least how far I'll bend
	I can see its glowing eyes and hear its evil cries
	'Come dance with me, my friend...'
	So, the things that I want to do
	I find myself not doing
	but the things that I don't want to do
	I fall into
	(Why?)
	Why do we struggle with the former things
	and live in our own power below our means?
	(War)
	Don't you understand this is war?
	War with the principalities and powers
	things unseen that would devour us all
	(The spirit battles the flesh)
	And now my wounds are deep
	and torn wide open
	I'm tired and weary, hurt and broken down
	(Lead us not)
	into temptation
	(but deliver us)
	from the evil one
	(Darkness falls)
	On my spirit again
	(Again temptation calls)
	I can hear it
	As the battle rages on and on
	I face the things that put my faith to the test
	When fallen angels won't leave me alone
	Father, come and lay the demon to rest
	When my sword has broken off in my hand
	I see the dark futility of the flesh
	When I'm about to fall, please help me stand
	Father, come and lay the demon to rest
	They're on my back
	I run, but I can feel their talons
	digging in my flesh
	Blood trickles down upon the earth
	and I grow weaker with each breath
	Each time I shake one off
	another wraps its teeth around my neck
	And every time, the one, the thorn is there
	To tear me down again
	The angels counterstrike
	Their flaming swords slice through the fallen ones
	The demons reunite, attack again
	The cycle has begun
	Caught in the middle of this present darkness
	with nowhere to run
	We're in a holy war
	As it is written, so shall it be done
	Where there's a will, there's a way, they say
	but sometimes my will seems to get in the way
	So You will have to fight for me today
	So You will have to fight for me today
	So You will have to fight for me today
	As the battle rages on and on
	I face the things that put my faith to the test
	When fallen angels won't leave me alone
	Father, come and lay the demon to rest
	When my sword has broken off in my hand
	I see the dark futility of the flesh
	When I'm about to fall, please help me stand
	Father, come and lay the demon to rest
	To rest
	To rest
	To rest
	To rest
