Before the first star burned, one war was already raging, and every soul on earth is caught in it. The fallen Morning Star steps into the arena against the Bright and Morning Star. Four rounds. One mic. Eternity on the line.

Lyrics and transcript
Round 1
Lucifer
They called me Morning Star before the sun ever burned,
I led the choirs of heaven, every song that you learned.
Nine stones across my chest, I was the jewel of the throne,
Then I stared into the light and said, "I want my own."
Took a third of the stars when I walked out the gate,
Been running this world since: every war, every hate.
Met a woman in a garden, asked her, "Did He really say?"
One bite, one lie, and the whole world walked my way.
Now here comes a carpenter, sawdust still on His sleeve,
Forty days with no bread, and they want me to believe?
I took You to the mountain, showed You kingdoms and gold,
Said, "Just bow one time," and it's all Yours to hold.
Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Please.
I was prince of the air before they planted the trees.
You came down here to save 'em? Look around, they're all mine.
I don't need to beat You, Son. I just need a little time.
Round 2
Jesus
I saw you fall like lightning. I was there when you dropped.
You call it revolution? Heaven didn't even stop.
You brag about the Morning Star, the jewels and the choir:
Who carved you every stone? Who set them in the fire?
Every gift that you flex was a gift from My hand.
You're a creature with a mic. I'm the Word where it began.
You quoted Me the Scripture in the desert, out of line;
I answered, "It is written," and the Word is Mine.
Forty days with no bread, but I lived on every word:
"Man shall not live by bread alone." I guess you never heard.
You offered Me the kingdoms like you're holding the deed;
You're a squatter on the land, and you're lying 'bout the lease.
Father of lies, that's your real family name,
You were a killer from the start, and you're proud of the shame.
You need a little time? Then I'll give you a sign:
Tear this temple down. In three days, I'll raise what's Mine.
Round 3
Lucifer
Three days? Let's talk about that Friday, little Lamb.
They stripped You on a hill. So where was the great I AM?
Your friends all scattered; Peter swore he never knew You,
Judas sold You for thirty, and I walked him right through it.
The crowd picked Barabbas; the people took my side.
They spit, they laughed, they gambled for Your robe while You died.
Three nails, a crown of thorns, a sign above Your head:
"King of the Jews." I loved that one. The King is dead.
The sky went black at noon, I thought the lights were out for good;
You cried out to Your Father, and the heavens just stood.
They sealed You in a rock, put a guard at the door;
I threw a party in the dark like You never saw before.
So go on, quote Your Scripture, say it all You like,
I'm still the one that's walking every street at night.
You died. That's the headline. That's the end of the scene.
Now tell me how a dead man's gonna take it from me.
Round 4
Jesus
You threw a party in the dark? Should've read the guest list.
Every nail was a signature on debts that I dismissed.
You thought you struck the Shepherd and the sheep would stay lost,
But I bought back every one of them. I covered the cost.
"It is finished" wasn't losing; it was "paid in full."
The veil tore top to bottom. That was heaven's pull.
Then I walked into your house, I went straight down your hall:
Death and the grave? Now I'm holding the keys to them all.
Sunday morning, stone rolled, Roman guards hit the ground,
Linen folded in the tomb, not a body to be found.
Three days, I told you. That's all I'd ever need.
You bruised My heel; I crushed your head, just like the Word decreed.
You wanted the title, you were starving for a crown:
I'm the Bright and Morning Star. So lay your borrowed light down.
You told Me, "Just bow once"? Every knee's gonna bend.
Yours too. It is written. Get behind Me. The end.

If you're searching: how to be saved
The battle on screen is a song. The one in your life is real, and Jesus already won it. Here is what the Bible says (King James Version):
We all fall short
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23
God loves you
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Believe and call on Him
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13
It's a gift
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13
If you want to start, you can pray this right now:
Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Messiah. You died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the third day. Send Your Holy Spirit, come into my life, and be my Lord and Savior. Amen.
Then find a Bible-believing church near you and tell someone.
