[Spoken Intro, Female] “You dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall you arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.” [Verse 1] From the cracked and cursed earth they rise Two mouths of living flame Not the dragons of the old world's lies But witnesses who bear the Name The apocalyptic Apostle saw them stand In sackcloth, oil, and fire Before the throne of the Lamb who was slain Before the kings who still conspire They speak the Word and Heaven answers They shut the rain above They turn the waters into blood And strike the earth with plagues No throne can silence what God has spoken No sword can kill the Word The testimony burns upon their lips And every nation hears [Chorus] We speak it loud! We are not ashamed! Of the Everlasting Gospel pure! The only Substance that withstands the flame The only Word that will endure! We speak it loud! We will not hide! The testimony of the Lamb! The fire still burns! The witnesses stand! Jesus is The Lord! [Verse 2] But the beast comes from the bottomless pit And war is made against the saints The beast prevails against their flesh And silence fills the streets Their bodies lie beneath the watching sky The great city sees them fall The nations stare upon their shame And rejoice beneath it all They send their gifts from house to house They celebrate the dead “At last the voices have been silenced!” “At last the witnesses are dead!” But Heaven has not finished speaking. [Instrumental Break] [Everything drops to near silence] [Low sustained guitar] [Distant heartbeat] [Single rising note] [No vocals] [Verse 3] Three days and a half... The world has laughed. The world has feasted. The world has crowned itself victorious. Then— [Sudden silence] The Spirit of life from God Enters them. [Massive impact] And they stand upon their feet. [Explosive drums] GREAT FEAR FALLS UPON THEM WHICH BEHOLD THEM! The mouths that mocked them fall silent The proud lift their eyes The dead two stand The witnesses breathe And Heaven calls them upward. [Bridge] Rise! Rise from the dust! The earth could not keep you! The beast could not keep you! Death could not keep you! The Spirit of life Is in you again! [Massive instrumental rise] [Ascending guitars] [Thunderous drums] [Long melodic guitar lead] They hear a voice from heaven: “COME UP HITHER!” And they ascend. [Instrumental Climax] [Full orchestration] [Massive drums] [Soaring guitar solo] [Escalating tremolo guitars] [Sudden earthquake impact] A great earthquake! The city falls! And the remnant are terrified— And give glory To the God of Heaven! [Interlude] Jesus... Do what You are famous for. Raise the dead again. Break the seals again. Speak the word That splits the sky. Let the fire fall. Jesus... Do what You are famous for. Make the dry bones stand. Make the two witnesses rise. Make the Everlasting Gospel burn Through every tongue and land. [Final Chorus] We are not ashamed Of the Everlasting Gospel! We are not ashamed Of the fire that cleanses! We are not ashamed Of the Glory set before us! Two Fire-Breathers rise! And the whole earth waits to see What the Lamb has already spoken, What the Spirit has set free! [Final Revelation] [Music pulls back] [Deep rising drone] Then the seventh angel sounded... And there were great voices in Heaven: “The kingdoms of this world Are become the kingdoms Of our Lord, And of His Christ!” And He shall reign Forever and ever! [Final Explosion] [Everything erupts] THE DEAD SHALL LIVE! THE WITNESSES SHALL RISE! THE GRAVE SHALL GIVE THEM UP! THE KING SHALL REIGN! THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL SHALL GO FORTH! JESUS IS THE LORD! JESUS IS THE LORD! JESUS IS THE LORD! [Outro] [Music slowly fades] [Soft distant voice] Jesus... Do what You are famous for. Raise the dead again. Amen.
