[Intro | ambient pads | percussive acoustic guitar | light electric swells | cinematic build]

[Chorus | melodic anthem | light gang vocals | flowing delivery]
O Kings, be wise! O Men, be warned!
What prize is Adam’s vale?
Pay homage now, and kiss the Son,
Or perish in the gale
Which kindled rises as a storm
Of everlasting fire
The blessing reap, and refuge find,
In Him your soul’s desire

[Verse 1 | melodic vocal | steady rhythm]
Why rage the nations, and in vain,
The peoples plot their line?
Why kings and sages counsel take,
And all their might combine
Against the Lord? Against his Christ?
“Oh, let us burst their cords!
Now shall we cast their chains from us,
And paradise restore!”

[Mini Guitar Lead | melodic electric guitar | expressive phrasing]

[Verse 2 | stronger vocal | rhythmic lift]
But he that sits in heaven scoffs,
Derisive binds them all
In rage he speaks, in scorn and wrath,
“Vexation curse your fall!
But as for me, my King I set,
Upon my holy hill,
On Zion fixed, anointed, he
Shall ever do my will.”

[Chorus | fuller | layered vocals]
O Kings, be wise! O Men, be warned!
What prize is Adam’s vale?
Pay homage now, and kiss the Son,
Or perish in the gale
Which kindled rises as a storm
Of everlasting fire
The blessing reap, and refuge find,
In Him your soul’s desire

[Verse 3 | darker tone | driving rhythm]
It is decreed, the Lord has sworn
“Begot, you are my Son.
Your heritage? The heathen world,
From its delusions won.
No land shall rest beyond your reign,
Lest evil fail to break
Like potter’s shards left by a rod
Of iron’s righteous wake.”

[Extended Guitar Solo | expressive lead guitar | melodic phrasing to soaring peak | sustained bends | emotional build]

[Chorus | full anthem | light gang + choir support | wide delivery]
O Kings, be wise! O Men, be warned!
What prize is Adam’s vale?
Pay homage now, and kiss the Son,
Or perish in the gale
Which kindled rises as a storm
Of everlasting fire
The blessing reap, and refuge find,
In Him your soul’s desire

[Outro | reggae texture | light offbeat guitar | warm bass groove | ambient fade]
