[Part 1: Lament - Dark Synth-Pop/Industrial] (BPM 110, Key of C minor) (Heavy industrial beat, distorted and hammering synth bass, samples of disturbed voices, claustrophobic atmosphere.) [Verse 1] (LEAD VOCAL (distorted, desperate, with reverb and delay)) My God, my God, why have You abandoned me? I cry to You, but You don't answer me, You don't save me By day I cry, and You don't answer By night, and I find no rest [Pre-Chorus] (LEAD VOCAL (more intense)) Yet You are the Holy One He who inhabits the praises of Israel [Chorus 1] (LEAD VOCAL (screaming, almost gasping)) But I am a worm, not a man The scorn of people, the mockery of the mob They mock me, they twist their heads "From the cross! Let Him trust in the Lord, let Him deliver him!" [Verse 2] (LEAD VOCAL (anguished narration)) You poured me out like dust from the womb From my mother's womb You are my God Do not be far from me, for anguish is near And there is no one to help me [Chorus 2] (LEAD VOCAL (with maximum despair)) Many bulls surround me Bulls of Bashan encircle me They open their mouths against me Like a lion that tears and roars [Bridge 1 - The Turning Point] ((The industrial beat begins to break down, a distant and distorted electric piano enters)) (LEAD VOCAL (despair cracks, begins to turn to supplication)) I am poured out like water All my bones are out of joint My heart is like wax It melts within me (LEAD VOCAL (cry of turning)) BUT YOU, O LORD, DO NOT BE FAR OFF! MY STRENGTH, COME QUICKLY TO HELP ME! [INTERLUDE - Sudden silence, then a deep breath] (A deep breath is heard, then a single kick drum hit. The tone changes completely) [Part 2: Praise - Gospel Power Trio] (BPM 90, Key of E-flat major) (The industrial beat is replaced by a powerful gospel beat with deep kick. Warm bass and Hammond organ with Leslie enter) [Chorus 3 - Hymn of Liberation] (GOSPEL TRIO (SAB, powerful, rich harmonies, joyful)) You have answered my prayer! I will declare Your name to my brothers! In the midst of the assembly I will sing Your praises! Praise Him, all you who fear the Lord! [Verse 3] (GOSPEL TRIO (narrative but triumphant)) For He has not despised nor disdained The affliction of the afflicted He has not hidden His face from him But has heard his cry for help [Chorus 4] (GOSPEL TRIO (even more powerful, with ad-lib)) From You comes my praise in the great assembly! I will pay my vows before those who fear Him! The poor will eat and be satisfied! Those who seek Him will praise the Lord! [Bridge 2 - Universal Vision] (The trio gives way to a soulful baritone solo, then all voices explode again) (BARITONE (solo, soulful)) They will remember and return to the Lord All the ends of the earth They will bow down before Him All the families of the nations [Finale] (GOSPEL TRIO (ALL VOICES, maximum power, with call-and-response)) FOR THE KINGDOM IS THE LORD'S! (IS THE LORD'S!) HE RULES OVER THE NATIONS! (ALLELUIA!) Before Him will bow down All who go down to the dust (SOPRANO (ad-lib over the choir)) They will proclaim His righteousness! To a people yet unborn! That He has done it! (That He has done it!) [Outro] (The music fades slowly, only voices and organ remain) (ALL (very soft, dying away)) That He has done it... They will proclaim... His righteousness... A people yet unborn... Hallelujah... (Silence)
