The devil laughed and said I’ve won
  Bb               Am   G
God has lost his only son
      F                 C/E     Dm
The brightest star no longer shines
   Bb           C/E     Dm
Finally this world is mine

Then he gathered all his demons near
         Bb                 Am        D
He said we have conquered love with fear

It falls to the ground
          C
Mercy abounds
                              D
As Mother Mary's tears fall downcost

To see her precious son pay the cost

 Bb                 Am     G
We’ll attack them from inside
  F                     C/E  Dm
Fill their hearts with vanity
            Bb              Am      G
Til their differences are all they’ll see
 C                 Bb       Dm
Black and white, rich and poor
     Bb           Am   D
To justify their holy war

To see her precious son pay the cost

Turn on the evening news

The devil said there’s no way

I’m gonna lose

Love cannot be found

It took me two thousand years

But it’s almost over now
