The Truth Is

And when the nations see
  that God does save,
will they then graciously
  accept the faith?
They will claim
  that it's insane.
And they will then
  begin to rage.
They will
  see the salvation
  of our God
and fight against it
  with all they've got.

For they love to think
  that they are all heroes.
And they love to claim
  that they are all noble -
as they impose their will
  with great force
and uphold their rules
  with the sword.

Yet, how can they be worthy
  of such great praise
when there's no need
  for such great strength?
What need is there
  for their evil weapons?
What need is there
  for violence?
Is this the only thing
  that there is
to protect us
  from evil men?
This is true
  if we assume
that God Himself
  will not save you.
Is this what they are
  trying to prove
in order to justify
  their need to rule?

They are so proud
  of their force of arms
  and their strength,
but what are we
  to learn from this?
Is death something
  to be feared?
Is that why we should
  fear their threats?

But why fear death
  unless
what's afterwards
  is sheer torment?
So is that the purpose
  of their threats -
to teach that
  hell awaits us
  after death?
