[Verse 1] In a house of gold A girl from exile stands Hidden in plain sight With a trembling pair of hands They dress her in silk But her name stays small Still she learns the room And the weight of it all [Pre-Chorus] Then the fear says run And the people say hide But the night is heavy And the door is wide [Chorus] If I perish, I perish Still I will go If I perish, I perish Let the truth be known For such a time as this For such a time as this (For such a time as this) [Verse 2] Mordecai at the gate Won’t bow to the pride Haman feeds on power With a ring on his side A decree goes out Like ash on the wind But she fasts with her people And she stands again [Pre-Chorus] Then the fear says run And the people say hide But the night is heavy And the door is wide [Chorus] If I perish, I perish Still I will go If I perish, I perish Let the truth be known For such a time as this For such a time as this (For such a time as this) [Bridge] Three days in the dark Then the silence breaks She steps to the threshold And the whole hall shakes A hand in the hidden A turn in the plan What was meant for ruin Falls under Your hand [Final Chorus] If I perish, I perish Still I will go If I perish, I perish Let the truth be known For such a time as this For such a time as this (For such a time as this) (For such a time as this)
