Evil's Bane Lyrics


In the name of Christ

And by the order of his vicar

These monsters will be driven

This plague of darkness will cease

I pledge my life to the church

And give my soul to the LORD

To wage total warfare in the spiritual

And fight his enemies to my death - and beyond!

My blade is the wrath of God

The bane of unholy ones

The breaker of dawn, the bringer of light

The fear of the wicked darkness

For our struggle is not with flesh and blood

But with principalities, with the powers

With the world rules of this present darkness

With the evil spirits in the heavens

My sword slices their binds

My psalms savage their beasts

My shield reflects their dark works unto themselves

And brings their shame into the day!

I cast them out of the meek

I undo their works of destruction

But this power comes not from me

And all is for the glory of him most high!

My blade is the wrath of God

The bane of unholy ones

The breaker of dawn, the bringer of light

The fear of the wicked darkness

For our struggle is not with flesh and blood

But with principalities, with the powers

A plague of darkness has draped the land

Cloaking all in mournful terrors

But the morning sun will light the sky

And vanquished will be the horrible night

I have come to bring light in his name

to the darkest depths for the rest of my days

And I wield the sword of evil's bane

The word of truth, by which demons are slain!
