13. Title: Keys to the Dark Movement I: The Vision on Patmos & The Heavenly Throne (Remastered)
(Verse 1) Silent lies the shadow realm, beneath the quiet grave, A place where ancient souls were kept, with no one left to save. From Adam down to David’s line, they waited in the night, Until the day the sky turned dark, and earth was filled with light. The cross was raised, the breath was gone, the veil was rent in two, But down below, the story started something fierce and new. (Chorus) Lift up your gates, you ancient doors, the King is at the wall! He walked into the dark alone to answer freedom’s call. No iron bars could hold Him back, no chains could keep the key, He fought the night, restored the light, and set the captives free! (Verse 2) The enemy was laughing high, thinking he had won, Until a blinding holy light declared the work was done. A voice like thunder shook the ground, the bronze doors fell apart, The Prince of Peace stepped through the smoke and struck fear in the dark. He bound the dragon in his chains, took power from his hand, And claimed the victory over death across the shadow land. (Chorus) Lift up your gates, you ancient doors, the King is at the wall! He walked into the dark alone to answer freedom’s call. No iron bars could hold Him back, no chains could keep the key, He fought the night, restored the light, and set the captives free! (Bridge) (1 Peter 3, Revelation 1) "I was dead, but look alive forevermore!" He called the righteous by their names and led them to the door. From Hades to the paradise, the train of captives rose, The ultimate triumphant king above His fallen foes! (Chorus) Lift up your gates, you ancient doors, the King is at the wall! He walked into the dark alone to answer freedom’s call. No iron bars could hold Him back, no chains could keep the key, He fought the night, restored the light, and set the captives free! (Outro) The keys are held, the grave is bare, No terror left to find us there. He walked the dark so we could see, The King of Glory holds the key.
