Thin Lizzy - The Holy War lyrics

rate me

If you will adore me

Bow before me and praise my name

If you place no god before me

Then all I have is yours to claim

And if God is in the heavens

Why did God let children die

If you don't ask these questions

There is no reasons why

We are chosen

We are one

We are frightened of no one

And no one will win this war

This is the way

This is the law

All the visions shown before you

All the kingdoms and the thrones

All are yours if you bow before me and adore me

All this you can own

There are those that will go to Heaven

There are those that will never win

No one knows what will happen

There are those that turn to sin

We are chosen

We are one

We are frightened of no one

And no one will win this war

This is the way

This is the law

(Solo)

We are chosen

We are one

We are frightened of no one

And no one will win this war

This is the way

This is the law

We are chosen

The devil is in hell with the demons

This is the Holy War

They lead us to our temptation

Lead us, take our souls

There is no evil in salvation

There is evil in us all

Just as Satan tempted Jesus

And Jesus slips and falls

He is a station on The Cross now

He is dying to save us all

We are chosen

We are one

We are frightened of no one

And no one will win this war

This is the way

This is the law

We are chosen

We are one

We are frightened of no one

And no one will win this war

This is the way

This is the law

We are chosen

We are one

We are frightened of no one

And no one will win this war

This is the way

This is the law

We are chosen

We are one

We are frightened of no one

And no one will win this war

This is the way

This is the law

If God is in Heaven, won't You save me now

Oh Lord forgive them for what they've done

Lost children of Babylon

Oh Allah oh no oh no (?)

This is the Holy War

The following are the Lyrics as sung by Phil at the Regal Theatre Hitchin, 1983, from You Tube video - (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8EirMSeT7s&feature=related)

They're significantly different, so I'm reproducing them in full, enjoy -

*And if you will adore me

And if you will take this throne

And if you bow before me

All I have is yours to own

There are those that look to Heaven

There are those that will never win

No one knows what will happen

There are those that turn to sin

We are chosen

We are one

We are frightened of no one

And no one will win this war

This is the way

This is the law

All the visions seen before you

All the kingdoms and the thrones

All are yours if you bow before me

Please adore me

All this you'll own

There are those that turn to Heaven

There are those ask questions why

If God is in the heavens

Why does God let children die

We are chosen

We are one

We are frightened of no one

And no one wins the war

This is the way

This is the law

(Solo)

We are chosen

We are one

We are frightened of no one

And no one wins the war

This is the way

This is the law

We are chosen...

Just as Satan tempted Jesus

And Jesus slips and falls

He is a dying on The Cross now

He has died to save us all

And Satan tempted Jusus

But Jesus resisted all

We all (die) <- (unclear)

We are dying

We are chosen

We are one

We are frightened of no one

And no one wins the war

This is the way

This is the law

We are chosen

We are one

We are frightened of no one

And no one wins the war

This is the way

This is the law*
