Petra - Armed And Dangerous Lyrics






It used to be a distant call
Thought to be for some but never all
Now our wounded lay on every side
Now this call to arms can't be denied

The enemy will tremble
As young and old assemble
A mighty army up in arms

[CHORUS]
Armed and dangerous
God's enemies will scatter
Armed and dangerous
We'll see the darkness shatter
His armor is worth its weight
No weapon can penetrate
Armed and dangerous
We're ready to storm the gate

We're not so tough on our own
Not one can even stand all alone
Just a rag tag army at its best
We sometimes even fail the smallest test
But through this tribulation
There comes a transformation
We don the armor of our King

[CHORUS]

Stand!
Up against the flood
Stand!
Covered by his blood
We are the standard he has raised
Stand!
Earnestly contend
Stand!
To the very end
We've only just begun to fight

[CHORUS]

    Awesome music and message.I remember all the religious hypocrites in the day on their soapbox crying and judging us for us listening to Christian rock.. They made it clear they didn't believe in rock music ..they need to make the statement of believing in BIG BROTHER JESUS and not judging others!!!!

  26. a.... ....

    YES GOD IS CALLING A PEOPLE JUST LIKE MEN OF GOD, WONDERFUL SONG!!!!!!!

  27. r.... ....

    It's the female version of Peter/Petrus, meaning rock. Both biblical (as Jesus describes his words as the rock on which wise people build) as an amusing reference to their music style.

  28. D.... D....

    @alcockell The eagle-ish sound as you call it was only really on their first 2 albums."come and join us"was an album sung mostly by Greg Hough(the original singer of petra)Greg X vols sang on only 2 traclks and became Petra's lead singer on their next album(Washes whiter than".

  29. D.... D....

    "Hey Hey Hey hey hey"

  30. S.... F....

    @abhend Haha, very funny /sarcasm

  31. C.... P....

    I read that greg had a 4 voice range that is y he usually sang higher than john... although both sing fairly high for me

    C.... P....

    Christopher Petts I've only recently managed to sing like John, but don't ask me to try and sing like Greg.... that's straining my chords too much xD

  32. K.... ....

    HHH OMG this bend have name like my girlfriend ...lolz...

  33. A.... C....

    @evilunixuser1 Styles were dramatically different, though. From memory, Greg had a bit more of an operatic voice when compared to John's rasp. Also, wasn't "Come and join us" in closer to falsetto range?

    Didn't they rough up their sound after he left? Cos it was quite Eaglesish when he was with them to my ear.

  34. A.... C....

    @evilunixuser1 From War and Remembrance (my brother had most of Petra's material), didn't Greg have more of a baritone voice to John Schlitt's tenor?

    Also, IIRC, crossfading between this and Chameleon in my head, didn't John sing about about a half-octave higher for most of his stuff?

  35. r.... ....

    This is my favorite song off my favorite Petra album. Beyond Belief....

  36. m.... ....

    Aaaaaah...I listen to this...and I'm back in my Freshman year at Christian college, this tape playing on every dorm floor. Me and my other long hair friends, head banging to this with all our short haired clean cut buddies (LOL, wooooo).

  37. N.... G....

    con esta rola recuerdo cuando mi hermano se sentia integrante de Petra, jajaja, hermosa epoca de mi infancia donde la imaginacion no tenia limites. Dios les bendiga!!!

  38. J.... E....

  39. m.... ....

    I want to see the video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  40. P.... ....
