[Intro: Eerie acoustic folk, soft children choir, biblical chant] "Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead." [Heavy Metal Drop & Verse 1] From the pit of the abyss, the morning star crawls low, Painting every wicked heart a toxic shade of woe. He blinds the waking nations with a flash of holy light, Drowning every open eye in absolute, black night. The monarchs on their pedestals are twitching as he pulls, A parliament of corpses, a marionette of ghouls. The shepherds in the cathedrals sell the gospel by the pound, Dancing to the symphony of souls dragged underground. The seals are breaking open and the prophecies unfold, While the master cuts the strings to a chorus made of gold. [Chorus: Children choir lead, heavy metal power] Look to the skies, the King is returning! The shadows are falling, the wicked are burning! He’s coming to save us, to break every chain, To wash all the blood and the sorrow and rain! So hear the warning, don't wait for the end! There’s still time today to draw close to your Friend! Surrender your soul, let His mercy break through, Before time runs out, He is waiting for you! (Save your soul! Before the final bell tolls!) [Verse 2] The blindfold finally shreds, the heavy fog decays, And you wake inside the terror of a twisted, dying maze. You see the gears of the system, grinding flesh into the floor, Engineering your damnation as it opens up the door. They led you like cattle through the slaughterhouse gate, Walking you straight toward a synchronized fate. Your spirit goes hollow, paralyzed and numb, To a world falling backward and a kingdom stricken dumb. Nothing ever adds up, nothing makes a single sense, Just a sickness in the air and a suffocating fence. You stare at the choices that brought you this deep, While the puppet-master mocks you and refuses to let you sleep. And the silence snaps open—the realization crawls in, As you feel the licking embers burning hot against your skin. The flames are right there, casting light on the deceit, As the heat of the pit rises up beneath your feet! [Chorus] Look to the skies, the King is returning! The shadows are falling, the wicked are burning! He’s coming to save us, to break every chain, To wash all the blood and the sorrow and rain! So hear the warning, don't wait for the end! There’s still time today to draw close to your Friend! Surrender your soul, let His mercy break through, Before time runs out, He is waiting for you! (Save your soul! Before the final bell tolls!) [Guitar Solo: Fast, heavy, melodic folk-metal] [Verse 3: Soft folk instruments, children choir harmony] I know that you’re tired, worn down to the bone, With anxiety heavy, feeling lost and alone. The weight of the world and the state of the fray, Leaving stress in your chest at the end of the day. (Children's Choir): Don't be afraid... don't be afraid... "But don't be afraid when the shadows amass, For all of these horrors must first come to pass! Before the true King of all kings shall descend, And bring a new heaven where darkness must end!" [Metal Build Up] To do of the Father's great work is right here: Just believe in His Son and cast out all your fear! To reject what He gave you means spiritual death, So surrender your heart with your very next breath. He made it so simple, though we stumble and fall, His grace is extended, a rescue for all! So get back up, follow the Truth and the Way, For eternal salvation is waiting today! With friends and with family, forever to live— Time’s running short, but He’s waiting to give! [Bridge: Marching drums, building storm] The hourglass empties, the final grains fall, Can you hear the trumpet begin its last call? The velvet is tearing, the curtain is down, The King is descending to take back His crown! He's at the door! He's at the door! Get ready! [Outro Chorus: Maximum volume, full power] Look to the skies, the King is returning! The shadows are falling, the wicked are burning! He’s coming to save us, to break every chain, To wash all the blood and the sorrow and rain! So hear the warning, don't wait for the end! There’s still time today to draw close to your Friend! Surrender your soul, let His mercy break through, Before time runs out, He is waiting for you! (Save your soul! Before the final bell tolls!) [Outro: Instruments cut, acoustic guitar and whispering children choir] He makes all things new... The darkness is gone... Welcome home...
