[Intro – distant war horns, slow tribal drums]
The mountains saw You and writhed
Torrents of water, the deep roared
[Verse 1]
Your arrows flash, Your spear gleams bright
Sun and moon stand still in fright
You march through the earth in furious might
Pestilence before, plague in Your sight
[Pre-Chorus]
You trample the nations in anger and wrath
Everlasting mountains shatter on Your path
[Chorus – immediate 250 bpm blast + choir]
YOU CRUSHED THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE OF THE WICKED!
LAID HIM BARE FROM THIGH TO NECK!
YOU PIERCED HIS WARRIORS WITH THEIR OWN ARROWS!
THEY CAME LIKE A WHIRLWIND — YOU SCATTERED THEIR DEAD!
SALVATION BELONGS TO YOUR ANOINTED!
THE HEAD OF THE SERPENT IS CRUSHED!
[Verse 2]
I hear and my body trembles with fear
My lips quiver at the sound of Your spear
Though the fig tree not blossom, the vines bear no fruit
I will rejoice in the God who gives pursuit
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You split the earth with rivers of blood
Ancient hills bow low in the flood
[Chorus – lower tuning, more symphonic layers]
YOU CRUSHED THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE OF EVIL!
STRIPPED HIM NAKED — THIGH TO THROAT!
HIS OWN SPEARS NOW PIERCE THROUGH HIS WARRIORS!
THEY STORMED TO DEVOUR — YOU TURNED THEM TO DUST!
FOR THE SALVATION OF YOUR ANOINTED!
THE ANCIENT SERPENT IS CRUSHED!
[Bridge – unholy slow slam + angelic choir contrast]
From… thigh… to… neck…
Bare… and… broken…
His… own… arrows…
Return… to… sender…
THE HEAD… IS… CRUSHED…
(Genesis promise fulfilled)
[Final Chorus – everything at once, gang shouts + children’s choir]
YOU WENT FORTH FOR THE SALVATION OF YOUR PEOPLE!
YOU CRUSHED THE HEAD OF THE WICKED ONE!
FROM THIGH TO NECK — THE HOUSE OF EVIL FALLS!
PIERCED WITH THEIR OWN ARROWS — WE OVERCOME!
SALVATION! VENGEANCE! VICTORY IS WON!
THE SERPENT’S SKULL IS ETERNALLY CRUSHED!
[Outro – single clean guitar, fading]
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord
I will joy in the God of my salvation
The Lord God is my strength.
