Oh Abraham would raise his hands
and mourn this very day
for his children left the promise land
in search of their own way.
They kick and scream like wayward sons
And always wanting to sleep
and dream away these evil days
in hopes that God can't see.
There are chains upon your children Lord
Chains upon your children.
There are chains upon your children Lord
We're in chains.
Do you hear the lion roar?
(Awake O Sleeper)
Stand with me we'll fight the war.
(Awake O Sleeper)
Your suffering will come again
and never fall away.
For we trade our many comforts
Like the ones who bled for grace.
There will come a day my God will come
and put me in my place.
My God I pray;
You'll call my name
instead of turn away.
There are chains upon your children Lord
Chains upon your children.
There are chains upon your children Lord
Chains upon your children.
Do you hear the lion roar?
(Awake O Sleeper)
Stand with me we'll fight the war.
(Awake O Sleeper)
Let no man bring me harm
I bear the marks of Jesus.
Let no man bring me harm
I bear the marks of the Lord.
I said, Let no man bring me harm
I bear the marks of Jesus.
Let no man bring me harm
Cause I bear the marks of God.
Do you hear the lion roar?
(Awake O Sleeper)
Stand with me we'll fight the war.
(Awake O Sleeper)
Do you hear the lion roar?
(Awake O Sleeper)
Stand with me we'll fight the war.
(Awake O Sleeper)
(Let no man bring me harm
I bear the marks of Jesus
Let no man bring me harm
I bear the marks of the Lord.)
