**Verse 1** The world has reached its midnight, The final age has come, The kingdoms raise their banners, The battle drums have begun. The beast has gathered armies, The nations fill the plain, They think they've conquered heaven, They think they've broken every chain. The dragon breathes his hatred, The serpent bares his crown, The powers of the darkness Have gathered all around. But heaven has grown silent, The stars begin to fade, And somewhere past the heavens A greater sign is made. **[Pre-Chorus]** The earth begins to tremble. The heavens open wide. And every eye will see Him— **The King is coming from the sky.** **[Chorus]** **The King returns! The King returns! The heavens split with holy fire! The beast will fall, The dragon burns, The Lord of Lords has now appeared! Every knee will bow, Every tongue confess, The One they mocked is coming now! The King returns! The King returns! And darkness has no kingdom now!** --- **Verse 2** I see a Rider coming Upon a horse of white, His eyes are like a furnace, His presence fills the night. A crown upon His head, And judgment in His hand, The armies of the heavens Are following His command. His robe is marked with glory, His name is written true, No earthly king can challenge Him, No power can undo. The beast stands in defiance, The false prophet beside, But every throne of wickedness Is trembling at His stride. **[Chorus]** **The King returns! The King returns! The heavens split with holy fire! The beast will fall, The dragon burns, The Lord of Lords has now appeared! Every knee will bow, Every tongue confess, The One they mocked is coming now! The King returns! The King returns! And darkness has no kingdom now!** --- **Verse 3** The beast that ruled through terror, The beast that ruled through lies, The power that demanded worship Now stands before His eyes. No army can defend him. No weapon can prevail. The kingdom built on blasphemy Is destined now to fail. The beast is cast before Him, The false prophet meets his fate, The armies of the nations Discover they came too late. They thought they could oppose Him. They thought the throne was theirs. But heaven does not negotiate With darkness in its lair. --- **Bridge]** And then the dragon sees Him. The ancient serpent knows. The one who deceived the nations Finally sees where judgment goes. The deceiver. The accuser. The ancient enemy. The one who raised his hand against God Now stands before eternity. **No more deception.** **No more lies.** **No more kingdoms built on pride.** The war that began in ancient days Has reached its final night. --- **Breakdown** But listen— Behind the King are people. Not forgotten. Not abandoned. The Church has endured the darkness. The Church has carried the flame. The world could not destroy her. The grave could not erase her. And now the King returns For those who bore His name. **He did not leave His people.** **He never left His bride.** Through tribulation, through the fire, Through every storm they cried— *"Come, Lord Jesus."* And now He comes. --- **Final Chorus** **THE KING RETURNS! THE KING RETURNS! Let every heaven sing His name! The beast is fallen! The dragon's power Cannot withstand the Lamb!** **THE KING RETURNS! THE KING RETURNS! The dead shall rise, the saints shall stand! The One who died upon the tree Now comes in sovereign victory!** **Every knee will bow! Every tongue confess! Jesus Christ is Lord! Jesus Christ is King!** **THE KING RETURNS!** --- **Outro** The kingdoms of the world Become the kingdom of our God. The beast has lost its throne. The accuser has lost his voice. The serpent has lost his dominion. And the King remains. Not distant. Not absent. Not defeated. **Present.** With His people. Forever. The war is over. The night is finished. The King has returned. **And the darkness will never rule again.**
