i vow to shield my heart against that evil show
those hooded charms shrouding the dripping fangs
those poisonous weapons that bring death-pangs
Guard of my soul - protect my flank and rear
the silent hunter lurches near
it coils to crush the breast - deflate the breath
but my soul's Keeper foils this means of death
He sets me free - to become the one i am meant to be
then a roaring beast scents the choicest part
tender and loyal and of the sweetest heart
its final dart - to pounce and maul
is thwarted by the fighting soul
to wrestle him in strength unknown
owned only of those who face this foe
he tries deception to breach the wall
fame and fortune is this tempter's call
like a messenger from high in bright array
he calls me to venture down a better way
the cry is an offer of an easier life
free of trials and trouble and strife
but this deception falls apart - he cannot hide his evil heart
his fiercest dart aimed at the Son of Man
did start the heaven's loftiest plan
he thought he'd struck a master stroke
it was his downfall - his power broke
the Lamb too mighty for this darkest being
on that tree the enemy was seeing
the Lamb had won - His Blood becomes
the true protection of my heart
