[Verse 1] Every day is a struggle and I’m getting older The weight of the seasons is cold on my shoulder. I’m watching the calendar turn into rust Building my house in a kingdom of dust. My joints are all aching, my vision is blurred Waiting for echoes of things that I heard. The clock is a hammer, ticking down to the dead Another day closer to the quiet of the bed. [Verse 2] Everything around me is death and decay The colors are leaching out into the grey. I see the dead trees and the smog in the street The dry, hollow sound of a thousand lost feet. The cycle is hungry, it’s eating the soul It’s taking the pieces and keeping the whole. The birds stop their singing, the rivers run dry Under the dome of a gray engineered sky. [Pre-Chorus] [The trance synths pulse faster. A sense of rising panic.] Why am I standing here stuck with the masses? I wanna get out of this place covered in ashes! Where are your people? Doesn’t anyone hear? The silence is screaming and feeding the fear! [Chorus 1] [Explosive Metal-Trance anthem. Massive wall of sound.] God hear my cries, I don’t want to die! I’m looking for truth in a world full of lies! I trust in the promise, I trust in the Way But I’m terrified of the end of the day! Oh death, where is thy sting? Didn’t You promise? Everyone’s a prisoner in a false calmness Yet I’m terrified! [Verse 3] The truth is obscured, hidden deep in the vault They’re poisoning oceans and sowing the salt. Everyone’s hurting, shrouded in lies The grid is a prison before our own eyes. The planes overhead leaving lines in the blue Chem-trails cover the skies and the dew. The government whispers, the media screams Feeding the poison to children in dreams. [Verse 4] They tell us we’re spinning, a speck in the void But the firmament stands and can’t be destroyed. The foundations are set on the face of the deep While the rest of the world is just falling asleep. Propaganda is flowing like wine in a glass To blind all the sheep as the days come to pass. They hide the horizon, they hide the end line But I’m standing in awe of the Master’s design [Bridge 1] [The music drops to a heavy, industrial rhythmic stomp.] Fallen stars came down to the daughters of men The Nephilim walked through the valley again. The giants were rising, the blood was defiled The earth was a wreck, aggressive and wild. The windows of heaven were opened to flood To wash out the stain and the hybrid and blood! [Verse 5] I believe in Your word, I believe in Your truth I’ve carried the fire since the days of my youth. Having faith of a child, I believe in You still Even when standing on top of this hill. But the body is trembling, the spirit is weak The comfort I need is the comfort I seek. I know that You’re there in the thunder and rain But I’m still a man who is terrified of pain. [Verse 6] I want to have courage like David with the stone Facing the giants and standing alone. I want the strength that old Samson displayed To break through the pillars, not feeling afraid. I want the faith that Abraham showed Walking the path on a long, dusty road. I want to walk with You like Enoch of old And step out of time as the glories unfold. [Chorus 2] God hear my cries, I don’t want to die! I’m looking for truth in a world full of lies! I trust in the promise, I trust in the Way But I’m terrified of the end of the day! Oh death, where is thy sting? Didn’t You promise? Everyone’s a prisoner in a false calmness Yet I’m terrified! [Bridge 2] [A soaring, melodic guitar solo that feels like it’s reaching for the firmament, followed by a sudden, heavy breakdown.] The world is a theater of smoke and of mirrors I’m praying for courage to conquer the jitters! The King is the King, and the Word is the Light But God, it’s so dark in the middle of the night! [Vocal rises to a desperate, gritty roar] HELP ME BELIEVE! [verse 7] The warnings are flashing, the writing is on the wall We’re living the replay, the echo of the fall. The deep state is building but it’s not gonna last While "as it was in the days of Noah" has finally come to pass. The hybrids, the shadows, the secrets they hide in the deep They poison your children while your still asleep. They’re hunting the Image, they’re reaching inside to the DNA To rewrite the Code and to wash out the Father's way The propaganda is blinding, the flood is starting to rise But this time the fire is coming down from the skies! [Verse 8] The end is a shadow that’s starting to creep Over the mountains and over the deep. I know where I’m going, I know Who You are The Morning, the Evening, the Brightest of Stars. But the human in me wants to cling to the shore Afraid of the dark and the closing of the door. Hold my hand tighter as the world starts to fade In the land of the lost, I’m still so afraid. [Outro] [The metal fades into a soft, echoing trance shimmer. A single heartbeat drum.] I believe in You... Faith of a child... God hear my cries... I don’t want to die.
