In the very familiar castle of my skin
There's a war going on and I know who will win
Still it is not easy, I get doubting sometimes
When the bombs go off and the bullets fly
There are thieves in the temple and they're looking for gold
Desecrating the altar, got their eyes on my soul
Can be intimidating on the shadowy side
Still the struggle is worth the trouble I find
Always will I watch and ever will I be
Standing on the Rock, looking out, looking in
Seeking 'til I find and searching 'til I see
The angel that knows the devil in me
There are a myriad of motives when my heart is exposed
Passions oh so sneaky, got to stay on my toes
It's a challenge I tell ya, give me strength for the fight
When my faith moves up to the firing line
Clouds of dust in the ruins, smoke is thick in my eyes
See it rising like incense on the wings of the night
But the war ain't over though the battle is done
Keep me on my guard 'til the kingdom comes
