Petra - Occupy lyrics

Words by John Slick

Based on 1 Peter 5:8-11, Mark 13:13, Revelation 14:12, Isaiah 14:24, 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

The enemy surrounds the perimeter

Searching for an op'ning

Sneaking 'round, tryin' to gain some ground

He's laying down a smokescreen

Never full, he prowls about

For someone to devour

Blind with rage, his reign is threatened

By a greater power

(Chorus)

Occupy, occupy

Standing firm, lifting high the holy standard

Occupy, occupy

'Till out captain marches in

He'll catch your eye with some cheap disguise

Or innocent distraction

Then he'll infiltrate the ranks

And split you into factions

He never sleeps, but constantly

Is planning some new angle

A soldier must be diligent

To keep from getting tangled

He shall return with the armies of the Lord

The King of Kings, in vengeance wielding His sword

Gotta draw His power - watching for that hour

We are His people and He's our great reward
