[Intro]
Smoke veils the horizon, the watchmen cry unheard.
The earth trembles beneath the weight of forgotten truth.
The night grows deeper... yet dawn is closer than it seems.
[Verse 1]
The towers still stand, but their foundations rot.
Truth is traded for silver, and lies are crowned as kings.
Screens illuminate every home, yet darkness fills every heart.
The blind applaud the blind as they march toward the edge.
[Pre-Chorus]
The shepherds became wolves.
The merchants became rulers.
The voices grew louder...
But heaven remained silent.
[Chorus]
Awake! The trumpet waits to sound.
Lift your eyes above the clouds.
Every throne of man will fall.
Only Christ will stand through all.
When the kingdoms turn to dust,
Only He is worthy of our trust.
[Verse 2]
Wars consume the sons of men while rulers count their gain.
Mothers bury dreams beneath the ashes of their homes.
Fear is sold as wisdom, hatred dressed as peace.
The whole world searches for a savior it can build with human hands.
[Bridge]
Then the heavens split with holy fire.
The Lion and the Lamb appear.
Every crown is cast into the dust.
Every tongue is silenced.
Every knee will bow.
Every eye will see the King.
[Final Chorus]
Awake! Redemption draws near.
The darkest hour cannot remain.
No empire lives forever.
No lie survives His light.
Jesus Christ, the First and Last,
The Alpha and Omega.
Our refuge.
Our hope.
Our eternal King.
[Outro]
The night was never endless.
The grave was never final.
The King is coming.
Let every heart prepare.
