The Holy War Lyrics
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
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-
Bow before me and praise my name
If you place no god before me
Then all I have is yours to claim
Why did God let children die
If you don't ask these questions
There is no reasons why
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 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 never win
No one knows what will happen
There are those that turn to sin
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 one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way
This is the law
This is the Holy War
Lead us, take our souls
There is no evil in salvation
There is evil in us all
And Jesus slips and falls
He is a station on The Cross now
He is dying to save us all
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 one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way
This is the law
We are one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way-

First one! Actually shocked that no one else has put anything for this, it's one of Thin Lizzy's greatest songs that didn't become a single. Well.. meaning-wise, it's pretty much explained in the title and lyrics - The song is about the faith, good and evil, and the war/arguement between whether you should believe in god or not. Simple
Okay Part3001, I will add my comment about this song. First let me say I am a Christian man. Most people would think something's wrong with me for listening to secular music. But I judge music on its aim, its meaning. I try not to be judgemental. I used to listen to Thin Lizzy before I got saved. So I don't have a problem listening now. I love this song! It touches me more than any other song on the album. The Holy War comes off as a very religious song. Not Christian, but very watchful of the good vs. evil spirits. Phil even mentions Jesus versus Satan in the song. The song is so direct about spirituall battles that I would almost call Phil Lynott a Christian. Of course I know he wasn't. He died a very sad heroin addict. It's people like him that I pray for. "And no one (but Jesus) will win this war, this is the way, this is the law".
