Verse 1
One family One blood
Every nation under his love
Every boy and every girl
Nation to nation we’ll be heard
They can run but they can’t hide, lord
You can’t hide but you can’t, run from yourself
Cause empires they do fall
Cause empires they do fall
Chorus
We are the ninety-nine over the one
Tanks and missiles
Arms and guns
Looting the sky we can’t
Watch the world go by
Cause empires they rise, but they must fall
Do doo do doo do do x4
Verse 2
They divide And conquer
Telling lies and prosper
Can’t take whats been given
They’ll never be forgiven
For all the wicked must fall
And when its judgement day they must fall
And when its judgement day they must fall
Fallin on their face, they must fall
Fall all - all - all
They must fall
Chorus
We are the ninety-nine over the one
Tanks and missiles, arms and guns
Looting the sky we can’t
Watch the world go by
Cause empires they rise, but they must fall
We are the ninety-none over the one
Tanks and missiles arms and guns
Looting the sky we can’t
Watch the world go by
Cause empires they rise, but they must fall
Bridge
And when its judgement day they must fall
And when its judgement day they must fall
Falling on their face, they must fall
Fall all - all - all - all - all - all
And when its judgement day they must fall
And when its judgement day they must fall
Falling on their face, they must fall
Fall all - all - all - all - all - all

Let You Go

Verse 1
I’ve had to let you go
And left low
Nothing is left of me
Nothing to give
Or receive
Forgiving you weren’t easy
It’s eroding me
Can’t you see
Set me free
Chorus/Hook
And As the sun sets and the moon shines
and I feel my love for you pass
And as my pain pasts away and travels, fades, away.
Verse 2
I’ve had to pray
And pushed away
Had to Get down
Asking for his grace
This won’t get the best of me
If I let you break
Then I’ll finally be free
Distant as We can be
Chorus:
And As the sun sets and the moon shines
and I feel my love for you pass
As my pain dusts away, and it travels, fades away, fades away.
Trumpet solo
Bridge
We weren’t meant to be
Loving you was never easy
Let My Spirit fly
And I find its liberty
Chorus:
And As the sun sets and the moon shines
and I feel my love for you pass
My pain dusts away, and it travels, fades away
Fades Away
Oooooh
