[Intro — distant whispers, distorted voices] They called him many things... Madman. Monster. Cursed. Nobody knew his name anymore. Because something else was speaking through him. [Verse 1] He wandered among the tombs Where the living wouldn't go Night wrapped around his shoulders Like a second skin of snow Chains had tried to hold him Iron couldn't make him stay Every prison door was broken Every prayer had turned away He screamed into the darkness He laughed when people fled A thousand voices underneath One tortured human head [Pre-Chorus] Then footsteps crossed the ground... And every voice went still. [Chorus] WHAT HAVE YOU TO DO WITH US? SON OF THE MOST HIGH GOD WHY HAVE YOU COME TO THIS PLACE? WHY HAVE YOU COME TO BREAK US? LEGION! WE ARE MANY! LEGION! WE KNOW YOUR NAME! The darkness knows the Light And trembles at the sight The demons recognize the King Before the world does. [Verse 2] He saw Him standing there And the demons lost their pride The man fell to the ground With the screaming locked inside Jesus spoke one question: "What is your name?" The answer came in voices Like a thousand mouths aflame "Legion." Not one. Not two. A multitude inside. They begged Him not to cast them Into the depths where they would die [Breakdown — escalating whispers] "Don't send us away!" "Where then shall we go?" "Send us into the swine!" The hillside starts to tremble. The herd begins to scream. Something unseen is moving Through every living thing. [Chorus] LEGION! WE ARE MANY! LEGION! WE KNOW YOUR NAME! The man is on his knees The demons start to flee And every voice cries out Before the King of Kings LEGION! NO PLACE TO HIDE! LEGION! NOWHERE TO RUN! The darkness meets the Light And loses every right To claim the soul It held inside. [Verse 3] The demons leave the man Like a storm ripped from his chest The hillside erupts with terror As the swine become possessed They run toward the water A black tide racing down A thousand bodies charging As the screams consume the ground Then suddenly... Silence. The man looks up. And for the first time in years He doesn't hear the voices. [Bridge — stripped down] No chains. No screaming. No voices in the night. Just breathing. Just silence. Just light. The people come from the village And they find him sitting there Clothed and in his right mind With peace upon his face And the ones who saw the miracle Are frightened by the sight Because sometimes freedom Is more terrifying Than the darkness you've survived. [Final Chorus] LEGION! WE WERE MANY! BUT ONE WORD MADE US FLEE! LEGION! WE KNEW HIS NAME! AND WE COULD NOT STAY! The demons knew the Son The demons knew the Light They knew the hour had come When darkness met its end that night [Outro — whispered voices fading] "Go..." The voices disappear. The man begins to pray. And somewhere beneath the waves... the demons are silent.
