Letra Y Música por Bob Hartman
City lights are flashing, they call you to the streets
Hearts are filled with passion in everyone you meet
The Boulevard is waiting, it wants to get you high
Neon signs are waiting to sell you anything you want to buy
But I know your devices, it shouldn't seem so odd
You lied from the beginning, I see through your facade
(Coro)
Angel of light, I see you glow in the night
But you only bring darkness to my soul
Angel of light, You're telling me wrong is right
I won't let you're evil take control
They follow in your footsteps not knowing that you fell
Bumper to bumper on the freeway to hell
You lead them into wrong and you make it look so right
You lead them into darkness and make them think you lead them into light
But I know where you're going, too bad you're not alone
If it wasn't for the real light I might have never known
You got the clergy working overtime to widen the narrow way
You've got politicians everywhere listening to what you say
You've got false apostles teaching lies perverting the only way
You've got principalities and powers waiting to obey
You've got philosophies and vain deceipts lying to deceive
You've got hate, and greed, ungodly lusts in the deadly web you weave
Somehow you've got so many thinking you're not even there
One look is all it takes to get them blinded by your glare

"Angel De Luz"
Traducida por: Miguel y Lorenzo Pereyda de Guerrero, Mexico
Las luces de la ciudad están destellando,
te llaman a las calles.
Los corazones se llenan de la pasión,
todos los que encuentras.
El boulevard esta esperando,
el desea ponerte en lo alto
Las señales de Neon están esperando,
para venderte lo que quieras comprar
Pero conozco tu mecanismo es singular
Tú mentiste desde el principio,
lo veo por tu aspecto
Ángel de luz,
te veo brillar intensamente en la noche
Pero solo traes tinieblas a mi alma
Ángel de luz,
dices que lo malo es bueno
No dejare que tu maldad tome el control
Siguen en tus pasos
no saben que caíste
tope a tope en la autopista
sin peaje al infierno
Tú los conduces en el mal
y les hacer ver que es correcto
Los conduces en la oscuridad
y haces que piensen que los conduces a la luz
Pero se a donde vas, que lastima
No estás solo.
Si no estuviera en la luz verdadera
pudiera ser que nunca lo hubiera sabido.
Tienes un clero que trabaja horas extras
para ensanchar el camino angosto.
Tienes políticos en todas partes
que escuchan lo que tú dices.
Tienes falsos apóstoles que enseñan mentiras
pervirtiendo el único camino.
Tienes principales y poderes
que te escuchan y te obedecen
Tienes filosofías y vanas mentiras
que mienten para engañar
Tienes el odio, la avaricia, lleno de lujuria
es la trampa mortal que tú tejes
Tienes muchas formas
para hacerles pensar que no son iguales allá
Una mirada es todo lo que necesitas
para cegarlos con tu fulgor - Hudba
How many of my brother's and sister's are still rocking to great Christian music in 2024?
This is a far cry from the homogenized fare on christian radio today. Creative and inspirational lyrics and music that is both artistic and Godly.
Such a breath of fresh air!! Radio tries to pasturize The Message, and Blood of Christ!! Every song sonds the same as if the producers get together and draw out a map of acceptable lyrics!
I grow up in my Christian Life with Petra! God save me in 1983. I threw out all my secular music and Petra became my favorite Christian Band and still is!
Psalm 96:1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Psalm 96 Read it all! Blessings. Josh!!
One of the earliest Petra songs I heard in the 80s which helped lead me to Christ. Never have forgotten it.
Such a beautiful song
I have this album, my dad got it when he was younger and now I listen to it and I'm 16.
My Mom got me this album 4 years ago and I'm in my 20s. If ANYONE tries to tell you Rock and Gospel can't be married play this album for them
This music is just as brilliant as the mainstream rock of its day. CCM now is just so watered down theologically that you don't know who the song is serving. Powerful message here that tells it how it is.
WOOO Christian classic rock. this ROCKS💙💙👍🌞💛
Thank you for posting these classics. I grew in the Lord when I first got saved listening to this album. Petra never sold out--great witness.
As a baby Christian I saw PETRA at a concert in Houston TX. It was awesome! The Holy Spirit made Himself present. We got caught in the Spirit. But it was when they played Judas Kiss that severely convicted me. And then Angel of Light that freed me from my 'baggage'! Thank you PETRA for following GOD!
Petra is gonna rock another generation with their new album!!
Long live Petra! A truely awesome christian band
Privileged to have witnessed them live in Bangalore, India so many years ago.
Greg did guest vocals on Come and Join Us. He sang lead on Washes Whiter Than, Never Say Die, More Power to Ya, Not of This World, Beat the System, and the live album Captured in Time and Space. He sang with Petra from roughly 1977 - February 1986. John Schlitt was the lead vocalist for the remainder of Petra's history as a band from that time on.
Greg X Volz is incomparable
I'd argue that Bob was simply writing "better" songs during Greg X's tenure. Hearing John sing tunes from this era - "rose colored stain glass window" "judas kiss" "more power to ya" "beat the system" - its actually REALLY good, he sings them with skill & conviction. This era overshadows the songwriting on the later albums. Greg X seems incomparable, and he is spectacular, but it's that song for song, his tenure in the band was just THAT good. I almost wish they'da re-recorded a bunch of these tunes with John to showcase his talent - because other than a few great tunes that he did (maybe "seen and not heard" or "somebody's gonna praise his name" for example), John's tenure is way overshadowed by how great "Greg's songs" still are to this day!
excelente¡¡¡¡¡¡ para los que escuchamos petra en los 80s¡¡¡¡ lo mejor de musica cristiana
I love this tune. If you have the Holy Spirit, you can see through the disguise and triumph.
Amen God bless you
James Edgar petra rocks for the real rock do not stop
christians seem to see through the virus takeover agenda.
Ahhh I remember listening to this whole album when I was a kid it was my autistic brother's who still has most of petra's album's it always calmed him down and we got to listen too,great song and great album!!
Wow. Perfect lyrics many years of ago from Petra. The bridge section has the most relevant lyrics for our time. It just goes to show me how relevant God's Word is for me.
I had a situation yesterday that threw me off and upset me against two of my church friends. I felt bad about my response and guilt started to set. I'm supposed to turn the other cheek. So I repented. Yet I felt condemned. And GOD put Angel of Light in my mind. So I played it. I understood then that it was the evil Satanic Devil who was messing with me. I rebuked him in JESUS NAME and by THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT claiming that There's No Guilt For Those Who Are In CHRIST JESUS!!!
Thank you Lord! Jesus Jesus
"If it wasn't for the Real Light I might have never known!"
I rediscovered them :-) And enjoying their music all over again. And you don't have to be a Christian to like this music...
I remember installing aluminum siding in 30° to this album. The Lord delivered me from NJ to Florida. These days it's vinyl siding in 90° to the Newsboys. Still love Petra
This is a classic song that I used to listen to in the 80’s . It sadly describes the state of America 🇺🇸 right now.
This song has an Eagles vibe about it, with a much better message
my favorite petra album.
this is real rock and roll i was at a concert of petra and it was their rock
The Petra lyrics say it all.
Just learned this on guitar now I’m rocking
Fantastic song! So nostalgic too!
Petra is AWESOME.
Always loved the guitar-ship-vehicle/spaceship art from Never Say Die, More Power To Ya, and Not Of This World.
Love this group.
I have this song playing in a screenplay of mine titled Gorgeous Dark... In the movie this song is almost 70 years old. The movie is set in the year 2051.
+Ronnyi GUy Link please
Petra :) always been Soooo under rated
awesome..
2 Corinthians 11:14
New King James Version (NKJV)
14 "And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light."
He is still only a mirror of God's brilliance...and that was before he tried to usurp Him!
I cant believe what he did. But my brother Micha-EL did what was right! The Fathers eyes blaze like fire!
One of the best Petra songs ever!
Good song
My God is awesome
+The Saturated Squid YES he is, without hi9m we would be vlost./
LOL I was humming this song at work today. I needed a break from the world we all live in today..
Wether you believe or not this is one helluva good piece of music!
me and my friend are paying this and so far its been awesome.
I always think of this song when I go to the mall.
We all have our times
priceless
Such nostalgia. I'm an atheist (which is a relevant statement because of this song and the bands' themes) but this was one my favorite songs as a kid. I remember spending hours trying figure out that guitar solo.
Also I think the use of jazz chords and synths in this otherwise quite bluesy rock song is cool :)
Hey J. A. How is it going....sure would like to see you in heaven in the end man :)
you need a shot of MAGIC MIRROR
John Appleseed Ditto..
Me too, man. I still love Petra with all my heart.
Petra was one of my favourite bands when I was a kid as well. Where I live people aren't christian so I'm not one, but the music built around the mythology is pretty cool. May Odin bless your path!
Long live Petra.
Truth.Jesus Reigns! Amen.
@GambiBeats Greg statrted singing with Petra on their second album; "Come & Join Us", and continued til' the release of the live album "Captured in Time & Space".
So that includes "Come & Join Us" (shared vocals with Hartman & Hough as well as Frazier & Camp)
"Washes Whiter Than" (Shared with Rob Frazier)
"Never Say Die" (assumes the role of Lead Vocalists)
"More Power To Ya'"
"Not of This World"
"Beat the System" & "Captured In Time & Space"
Then he left and started doing solo albums.
So much truth it's almost scary.
I listened to this stuff when I was like idk 8, 9, 10, 11. I liked it then. but listening to it now haha it kinda has an eagles/foreigner vibe to it
Yeah, Greg sings on this album, and the next one if I'm not mistaken. A good raw sound before Petra toyed with the over digitalization. Always was my favorite album from them.
City lights are flashing, they call you to the streets
Hearts are filled with passion in everyone you meet
The Boulevard is waiting, it wants to get you high
Neon signs are waiting to sell you anything you want to buy
But I know your devices, it shouldn't seem so odd
You lied from the beginning, I see through your facade
@azzyandlexie The album is really good to and he still has the pipes
One of the first groups I started listening to in the early 80's. Maybe someone here will know I am not sure it was a Petra song but there was one that they used to play at the christian skate it started out with the sound of thunder and lightening can't find it anywhere
the first song that comes to mind from back then is one by Rez Band, but it's a slow song so probably not something good for skating.
This song is the answer to Journey's song Don't Stop Believing. It reveals all of those lies for what they are. And you know what? DO stop believing that satan's system and all of his disgusting "treats" are going to satisfy your emptiness. Only Christ will make you Truly Secure!
Maranatha 🙏🏽✝️
I think I had this LP In junior high and I did see them 2 times. Brings back memories. Today's Christian music is good but Petra paved the way. I wish I could remember the other band I seen with petra all I think is it began with an S back in the early 80s.
Are you thinking of Stryper?
Petra opened for Servent in about 1984! I was there.
Great song.
CAN YOU MAKE THIS SONG INTO KARAOKE WITH BACKING VOCALS
They are getting back together again... Go rto facebook and type in - Classic Petra - and you will get to their FB page. Greg X. Volz is back as lead singer and it is all the original band members. The Tour is called "Classic Petra: BACK TO THE ROCK"
i like it its rock and roll because petra means rock
I seem to remember hearing this in a movie recently. I must be going crazy.
love those solos. I wish there was an Instrumental of this song.
But the lyrics are sooooo good
Awsome
Love those harmonies (harmonys?) eh, whatever THAY SING REEEL GOOD LIKE!!!
This Song Is Kinda Rockin' I Cant Play It On My Guitar That's For Sure!
4 dislikers dont know the meaning of this awesome song.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So True!
Petra Means Rock 2020
If it were possible even the elect would be decieved.
2022 and PETRA
Amazing music. They were right to the point, they could preach your the scripture all the while playing fantastic rock.
The one thing they pulled off better then anyone then was they had such good meaningful lyrics, and their music was up to par rather then a lot of the dry sounding Christian music of those days.
With Gods help they made the gospel more real to people, in great music.
que buenos tiempos, soy mas del petra con John Schlitt pero greg es increible tambien
A+
@evilunixuser1 for me just the other way around. but the are both amazing period
This band is the Best. Bob Hartman and Greg X. V. Made that band
Is it just me or does the chorus resemble the song Victim of Love by Eagles.
@TimfromMKE who is touring?? petrra?? i thought they had quitted??
UFOs in the sky? This song explains exactly what they are.
I looked this up.....it says that Keith Edwards played drums.
mhm.... good christian classic. Heck yah!!
And Mark Kelly played bass.
The time is upon us Brothers & Sisters!
@gill73115 They're touring this fall
You do know Greg played drums on this album and Bob play gutiar, bass, and keys.
Don't know who told you that, but they were incorrect. Keith Edwards played drums, Mark Kelly played bass, and John Slick played keys.
I'm getting a lot of Lynyrd Skynyrd vibes from this song lol.
Me too. I immediately thought of Gimme three steps while listening to this song.
Petra does not tickle the ears...
this seems a little more hard rock and progressive than some of the other songs on this album. the synthesizer makes it sound more 80s than the 70s vibe of other songs
Restore faith in thoses that dont believe
Agree
@shannon1664 I feel the same
You can hear the Blackmore/Rainbow influences in this. I'm getting hints of Since You've Been Gone and Sixteenth Century Greensleeves.
This song changed my adolescence. Though I now I disagree with it, it marked me forever.
How so? How do you disagree, if you don't mind my asking?
yeah buddy
petra gra fajna muze
Greta song. Too bad my Baptist brief church going made listening to anything but traditional Christian music told me this was evil. They were wrong. Hope the Church has opened up and has grown more than that.
the Church has relaxed over the years concerning christian rock music I know what you are saying my Pentecostal Church had flyers and what not telling the evil of rock and roll music no matter the genre, I grew up in the 80's in case you are wondering
I grew up in the 80s as well and maybe it was the generation encountering this strange transformation of Christian music from classic to contemporary. I was caught in that cross fire and I am guessing U as well. It turned me off from the church....still not over it all. Now our church wants us (40 something) to do all the work and all the "fellowship" is for the retired. I choose on line churches for now and Christian radio. Sorry if that offends but still worn out from all the trying in Orthodox churches. (several tries I might add...same outcome...they don't even know if u exist)
+Plecto75 I knowwww riight lets pray that the lord bring it back!! LORD if it be your will.. bring back Rock N Roll to the church I believe God gave rock n roll to us anyway.
+1927Norma Remember this! Anything that brings glory to our Lord Jesus Christ and that comes from being led by the Holy Spirit through the music. Well, it doesn't matter if its Rock or Metal styled music. I say let that Joyful Noise that the bible talked about be heard. (thumbs up!).
+1927Norma Unfortunately not really If you really want something great listen to neal morse
when i hear that opening riff, i just wanna go out and eat babies hearts ;p at least that's what was expected when this was first heard. these lyrics edify me to this day. lucifer can make anything look appealing. listen to the holy spirit of god, in what ever form (you'll know it, when you hear it...if you love the lord)
Hey Everyone!, Petra kicks butt fo sho...Petra forever!
I just wanted to recommend something just a little different but with a rock beat to it as the tempo.. Change your life again again.. so Super sweet too.
.
Check out christian worship leader: 'STEVE SWANSON'
Albums called: (Prepare the way of the Lord) - all these songs kick butt a major blessing.
Annd, (No More Delay). All these songs too the same NICE...
especially that song called: 'Fire in my Bones' super cool.
much of what is on quote n quote christian tv
Greg would be with them for More Power to ya, Not of this World, and Beat the System before John would join them in 1985.
