From the hands it came down

From the side it came down

From the feet it came down

And ran to the ground

Between heaven and hell

A teardrop fell

In the deep crimson dew

The tree of life grew

|

|And the blood gave life

|

|To the branches of the tree

|

|And the blood was the price

|

|That set the captives free

|

|And the numbers that came

|

|Through the fire and the flood

|

|Clung to the tree

|

|And were redeemed by the blood

From the tree streamed a light

That started the fight

'Round the tree grew a vine

On whose fruit I could dine

My old friend Lucifer came

Fought to keep me in chains

But I saw through the tricks

Of six-sixty-six

From his hands it came down

From his side it came down

From his feet it came down

And ran to the ground

And a small inner voice

Said "You do have a choice."

The vine engrafted me

And I clung to the tree

From his hands it came down

From his side it came down

From his feet it came down

And ran to the ground
