A Thousand Years of Strife

When I heard they had their freedom I came straight from Hell to Earth When I heard they wanted prizes I brought magic purse and worth When they said I had to lead them I brought all my men from birth And I ruled them well to tell them all I can't compare for girth When they said we needed war I said I'd be happy to When they said there'd be some consequence to which I said not you And they asked me for perversion and I said I knew the kind As they walked with me together saying your more than we find And we talked about our future and the lives we'll live together And the fun we'll all remember when the end comes to remember And they sent their bombs a flyin' to the Ukraine I surrendered Till the day came I convinced them that the News would serve to ember And they watched the missiles flying on the tv I would render For a definition higher than the Ukraine could surrender And we cried for all the bodies that you asked me to dare end there As we asked why all were dying for myself and your dear bender For we all have price to pay when I came to save your world From the ignorance of God and the hope you're not his hurled So stay by me people Earth for the visit of your life Till the savior comes to free me from a thousand years of strife
