"Fighter" lyrics - CLIFF RICHARD

My eyes may see the coming king in all his majesty
In company all dressed in white
But meanwhile here at the world's dark end
The dragon draws the iron curtain round against the light
And souls grow weary in his war of love
And seek their solace strolling down the sweet civilian ways
But meanwhile back at the world's dark end
The nations see no future waiting for the serpent to strike

[Chorus:]
Where have all the christian soldiers gone
Where is the resistance, will no-one be strong
When will we stand up tall and straight, rise up and storm the gate
How can we fail to get excited
The battle is ours, why don't we fight it

Battalions of darkness rise above me
But God put a fighter in me, put a fighter in me
So we will sing songs of victory
We will rise and set men free
We will applaud your majesty
We will proclaim your kingdom come
We will announce the battle done
We will lift up the righteous one
Listen and you're going to hear the sweetest sound you ever heard
It's the spirit blowing across the land
It's the voice of one who calls his bride to come and to be ready
Gentle as a dove he comes with fire

[Chorus]
