(Intro: A deep synth pulse and a massive timpani hit introduce a huge guitar riff) (Verse 1: Lead vocal, tense synth pads and sparse electronic beat) Why do the nations rage? (A single snare hit) Why these vain conspiracies? (Why this pointless plot?) The kings of the earth take their stand (The powerful rise up) The rulers gather together (They draw their lines) (Silence, then beat drops) Against the Lord (A declaration of war) And against His Anointed One! (Against His King!) (Pre-Chorus: Aggressive, processed gang vocal chant) (Gang shout, rhythmic) "Let us break their chains!" (Gang shout, louder) "Throw their cords away!" (Chorus: Full band explosion. Huge drums, synth bass, guitars. Choir enters.) (Lead vocal, soaring) But the One who sits in the heavens LAUGHS! (Choir, SSAATTBB, powerful) HE LAUGHS! (Lead vocal) The Lord holds them in derision! (Choir) DERISION! (Lead vocal) Then He will speak to them in His WRATH! (Choir, building) HIS WRATH! (Lead vocal and choir in unison, fortissimo) And terrify them in His FURY! (Verse 2: Music pulls back slightly, lead vocal declares with certainty) "I have installed my King (A statement of fact) On Zion, my holy mountain!" (On my holy ground) I will proclaim the Lord's decree: (A royal announcement) (Music swells) "You are my Son, (The central proclamation) (Brass synths blast) Today I have begotten you." (The coronation) (Pre-Chorus 2: Music builds again, more melodic than the first) Ask of me, (A command) (Choir, harmonic pad) WE ASK! (Lead vocal) And I will make the nations your inheritance! (The promise) (Choir) OUR INHERITANCE! (Lead vocal) The ends of the earth your possession! (The scope of the domain) (Chorus: Full anthem mode again. Even bigger than before.) (Lead vocal) But the One who sits in the heavens LAUGHS! (Choir) HE LAUGHS! (Lead vocal) The Lord holds them in derision! (Choir) DERISION! (Lead vocal) Then He will speak to them in His WRATH! (Choir) HIS WRATH! (Lead vocal and choir) And terrify them in His FURY! (Bridge: Music breaks down to a heavy synth bass and drum loop. A shredding, melodic guitar solo takes the lead.) (Guitar solo: epic, harmonized, and technically impressive) (Lead vocal shouts over the solo) You will break them with a rod of IRON! (Choir, rhythmic and aggressive) IRON! (Lead vocal) You will shatter them like POTTERY! (Choir) SHATTER! (Lead vocal) Therefore be WISE, you kings! (Choir) BE WISE! (Lead vocal) Be WARNED, you rulers of the earth! (Choir) BE WARNED! (Final Chorus: The ultimate climax. All elements at maximum intensity. Clear call-and-response.) (Choir) SERVE! (Lead vocal) Serve the Lord with FEAR! (Choir) REJOICE! (Lead vocal) Rejoice with TREMBLING! (Choir) KISS! (Lead vocal) Kiss the SON! (Choir) LEST HE BE ANGRY! (Lead vocal) Lest He be angry and you perish in the way! (Choir) BLESSED! (Lead vocal) Blessed are all who take refuge in Him! (Lead vocal and choir, final unified shout) BLESSED IN HIM! (Outro: Music cuts abruptly, leaving only the choir holding a massive chord) (Choir, a cappella, with long reverb tail) Kiss the Son... (A final, deep sub-bass hit and synth fadeout)
