lyrics
Verse 1
The future is no longer as it was
A hero is as a hero does
Yes it's time to go on down to the enemy line
The scales of this ancient foe are strong
But fear and fire have been blown too long
Yes it's time to go on down to the enemy line
Pre-Chorus
Ooo ooo ooo... we’re not turning back, no way
Ooo ooo ooo... the dragon is ours to slay
Chorus
For the sake of love, for love we go
There's someone to save, and a beast to slay
Verse 2
You and I were made for a time as this
The task at hand is no coincidence
Yes it's time... it is yours and it is mine
For the sake of the love
for the sake of the One above yeah enough is enough
So I’m not backing down, not now,
No I’m not backing down my hope is in eternity’s crown
We shouldn’t hesitate:
Where the underbelly meets the blade, this is where we make the trade
Not going renegade but to the cross
Where the Saviour died
It’s the place between death and life
Every knee will bow, every tongue will say,
Light of the world you are the way
We don’t do this on our own
Definitely we are not alone
For the sake of the love, for the sake of the One above
Yeah enough is enough
No we're not gonna run and doubt we're stronger now we're not giving up
We'll break through it in the name and the blood
Cause we do it for the sake of the love
The future is no longer as it was
A hero is as a hero does
Yes it's time to go on down to the enemy line
The scales of this ancient foe are strong
But fear and fire have been blown too long
Yes it's time to go on down to the enemy line
Pre-Chorus
Ooo ooo ooo... we’re not turning back, no way
Ooo ooo ooo... the dragon is ours to slay
Chorus
For the sake of love, for love we go
There's someone to save, and a beast to slay
Verse 2
You and I were made for a time as this
The task at hand is no coincidence
Yes it's time... it is yours and it is mine
For the sake of the love
for the sake of the One above yeah enough is enough
So I’m not backing down, not now,
No I’m not backing down my hope is in eternity’s crown
We shouldn’t hesitate:
Where the underbelly meets the blade, this is where we make the trade
Not going renegade but to the cross
Where the Saviour died
It’s the place between death and life
Every knee will bow, every tongue will say,
Light of the world you are the way
We don’t do this on our own
Definitely we are not alone
For the sake of the love, for the sake of the One above
Yeah enough is enough
No we're not gonna run and doubt we're stronger now we're not giving up
We'll break through it in the name and the blood
Cause we do it for the sake of the love
