(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!
