My flesh was cold and dead

And yet I roamed the dark of night

I sought to fill a lust of blood

But only grew in emptiness

Flying on wings of sorrow

Searching for life before a second death

(chorus)

Then his blade had banished the night

Had slew the vile darkness within me

This sword of spirit cut the thorns

And struck down the wind itself

And still many nights brought agony

Untangling from this web of sin

And many days did I fall back

Into former bloodthirsty ways

(chorus)

Then his blade had banished the night

Had slew the vile darkness within me

This sword of spirit cut the thorns

And struck down the wind itself

And this power I now wield

The very bane of death itself

The sword to banish the unlight

To reveal the truth

I believe on the name of Jesus Christ!

May it be a shield of protection upon my soul!

I reject the works of Satan!

I will wage war against my very flesh!

Then his blade had banished the night

Had slew the vile darkness within me

This sword of spirit cut the thorns

And struck down the wind itself

And this power I now wield

The very bane of death itself

The sword to banish the unlight

To reveal the truth
