(Verse 1)
Stuck in the quiet, a prisoner of the hum,
I waited for the signal, for the help that wouldn't come.
Buried deep in the pit, the gravity of self,
In the quicksand of the mire, I begged for something else.
Then a shift, a tremor, a hand reaching down,
Pulled me out of the darkness, far above the sinking town.
(Chorus)
A new song tearing through the silence,
A broken hymnal rewired with defiance.
My feet on the fault line, standing on the rock,
They'll watch the change, they'll check the clock.
Yeah, they'll put their trust in the fire I've found,
When they see the miracle on solid ground.
(Verse 2)
You don't want the ritual, the burnt-out, empty show,
You tore the walls down, whispered what I need to know.
The blueprint's in my veins, the code is on my heart,
I found the joy in the doing, I tore the script apart.
I shouted the verdict, the justice I have seen,
No fear in the spotlight, where I've always been.
(Chorus)
A new song tearing through the silence,
A broken hymnal rewired with defiance.
My feet on the fault line, standing on the rock,
They'll watch the change, they'll check the clock.
Yeah, they'll put their trust in the fire I've found,
When they see the miracle on solid ground.
(Bridge)
But the shadows linger, the count keeps rising still,
The troubles are a legion, climbing up the hill.
My sins outnumber the strands of my own fear,
A lost courage echoing, "Get me out of here!"
Rescue me, God, don't hold back the rain,
Hurry up the morning, wash away the stain.
(Guitar Solo - building intensity and then dropping to a quiet, melodic break before a final powerful chord)
(Outro)
Let the mockers drown in their cruel, cheap grace,
Let the joyful gather, screaming 'The Lord is Great!'
I'm poor and I'm needy, but I'm on your mind.
You're my helper, my anchor, leave no one behind.
My God, don't delay.
(Fade out with repeated, distorted "Don't delay...")
