Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory
Till my kingdom comes.
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory
Till my kingdom comes.
Give me all the storybook told me
The faith and the glory
Till my kingdom comes.
And they said that in our time
All that's good will fall from grace.
Even saints would turn their face in our time.
And they told us that in our days
Different words said in different ways
Have other meanings from he who says in out time:
Give us this day all that you showed me
And they said that in our time we would reap from their legacy

We would learn from what they had seen in our time.
And they told us that in our days
We would know what was high on high

We would follow and not defy in our time.
Give us this day all that you showed me
Faithless in faith
We must behold the things we see.
Give us this day all that you showed me

    General Comment:Very abstract about power and had a dramatic feel about it. One of their best songs imho.

    Song Meaning:I've always connected this with the AntiChrist, but that's probably because it came out about the same time as Omen III ... The video seems to go that way too. Ultravox are epic.

    General Comment:Favourite synth band, they don't sound like anyone else.

    I love how they have a rock-edge in all their songs...like in the middle bit of this one. Very exciting.
