(Intro - Heavy, distorted guitar riff with a driving drum beat)
(Verse 1)
They wormed their way inside the walls we built
Preaching a grace that justifies the guilt
A poison whisper, a velvet-covered lie
They deny the Master, but they never ask why
It's a forgotten warning from a history told
Like the faithless rescued, then left out in the cold
The ones who left the boundaries, the ancient, broken chain
Chained up in darkness, waiting for the rain.
(Pre-Chorus)
They claim a vision, a false prophetic fire
Defy the truth, fuel a base desire
They scoff at what they can’t comprehend
Bringing their own destruction, right 'til the bitter end.
(Chorus)
They are the Wandering Stars, doomed to the blackest dark
Wild, churning waves, leaving a shameful mark
They’re just dead trees in autumn, no fruit, torn up by the root
A Judas kiss in the daylight, a dangerous, bitter loot
Watch out for the Reefs, the shepherds who only feed themselves
They only want the glory and what they can take off the shelves.
(Verse 2)
They follow Cain and the path of the one who betrayed
They deceive for money, a game that's always played
A host of grumblers, a parade of complaint
Living for the impulse, never acting like a saint
They brag out loud and flatter you with praise
Just to get what they want in a selfish haze
They split the ranks, they tear the spirit apart
Follow the instinct, born with a hollow heart.
(Pre-Chorus)
But we remember what the prophets foretold
About the last times, and the scoffers getting bold
So we build each other up on a sacred ground
With the Holy Spirit, where true power is found.
(Chorus)
We are not the Wandering Stars, not doomed to the blackest dark
We are not the waves, that leave a shameful mark
We’re not dead trees in autumn, we bear the living root
Pushing back against the darkness, reaching for the truth
We will avoid the Reefs, the shepherds who only feed themselves
We stand for the glory that belongs to none but Him.
(Bridge)
Show mercy to the ones whose faith is fading slow
Snatch them from the flames, but cautiously go
Hate the contamination, the sin that clings so tight
But keep yourselves safe, anchored in the light.
(Guitar Solo - Melodic, building intensity, with heavy bends and feedback)
(Outro)
To Him who can keep us from falling away!
Glory, majesty, power, authority!
Before all time... in the present... and beyond all time!
(Repeat and fade out with heavy, sustained chords)
Amen!
