[Verse] He walked through the whispers of a weary land A scroll in his heart and truth in his hand A voice like the thunder calling us near To reckon with silence and shatter the fear [Verse 2] He spoke of the fire to refine the soul Where the dross is burned and we’re made whole With offerings pure and hearts aligned Turn back He said The covenant binds [Chorus] Oh Malachi The messenger’s cry A promise to keep 'neath the empty sky Return to the One Let hearts be sincere For the Dawn is near The Dawn is near [Verse 3] He warned of the pride that corrupts the wheat Of temples defiled and unholy deceit An everlasting love we’ve pushed aside Yet mercy still waits on the other side [Bridge] The son will rise with healing in wings The humble will dance The earth will sing A day of the Lord Sharp as a blade To challenge the hearts of the plans we’ve made [Chorus] Oh Malachi The messenger’s cry A promise to keep 'neath the empty sky Return to the One Let hearts be sincere For the Dawn is near The Dawn is near
