Head of gold (pop edm)

“The Stone and the Statue” (Inspired by Daniel’s Dream) [Verse 1: The Head of Gold (Babylon)] A crown of gold, a tower’s height, A city bathed in blazing light. They drank their fill, they danced in pride, But the writing burned, the throne denied. [Chorus] Oh, kingdoms rise, and kingdoms fall, None endure, none stand at all. The stone will strike, the winds will wail, The throne of man is bound to fail. [Verse 2: The Arms of Silver (Medo-Persia)] Silver arms and fleeting peace, A law that ruled, but strength decreased. The gates were breached, the river dry, And all they built dissolved in sighs. [Verse 3: The Belly of Bronze (Greece)] Bronze soldiers marched through shattered lands, With dreams of power in brittle hands. The gods they made could never save, Their statues fell into the grave. [Chorus] Oh, kingdoms rise, and kingdoms fall, None endure, none stand at all. The stone will strike, the winds will wail, The throne of man is bound to fail. [Verse 4: The Legs of Iron, Feet of Clay (Rome)] Iron crushed, but clay betrayed, Their roads grew weak, their empire swayed. A beast consumed what men had sown, And left their thrones as dust and stone. [Bridge: The Stone Cut Without Hands] A stone unseen, not formed by man, It struck the feet; the statue ran— To dust and wind, its power died, The King of kings was crucified. [Chorus] Oh, kingdoms rise, and kingdoms fall, None endure, none stand at all. The stone will strike, the winds will wail, The throne of man is bound to fail. [Outro: The Eternal Kingdom] The stone became a mountain wide, It fills the earth, it cannot hide. The King ascends, His reign begun, His glory shines like the rising sun. Forevermore, from age to age, Shiloh, desire of nations great
