(Verse 1)
Quiet, a garden of oil and stone
Moon bleeds silver over broken bones
You see the torches, hear the whispered lies
Promises traded for a kiss, for a price
I could rise…
Fire in my lungs, thunder in my veins
But I bow down to the cup of shame
If I speak one word, the sky will break
But love… is the cross I take
(Pre-Chorus)
I could call them
Legions of angels screaming for war
But I fall down
Face in the dirt, heart on the floor
(Chorus)
For every sword that’s drawn tonight
Heaven’s army waits in quiet might
Ten thousand wings, I hear them breathe
Yet I lay my glory at Your feet
Oh Father, Your will—not mine
Let the darkness have its time
(Post-Chorus)
I could end this with a single breath
But I choose death
I choose death
(Verse 2)
Blood like wine on the olive leaves
Every heartbeat feels like prophecy
He could save Himself with a word of flame
But He whispers mercy to the ones who came
The traitor trembles
Torchlight dances
The Maker surrenders
To the hands of the damned
(Pre-Chorus)
I could call them
Legions of angels screaming for war
But I fall down
Face in the dirt, heart on the floor
(Chorus)
For every sword that’s drawn tonight
Heaven’s army waits in quiet might
Ten thousand wings, I hear them breathe
Yet I lay my glory at Your feet
Oh Father, Your will—not mine
Let the darkness have its time
(Bridge – whispered / spoken)
Do you not know
I could be lifted
On eagles of fire
On thunder and lightning?
But if I rise now
You would never rise at all
So I am silent
For love
(Breakdown)
If I wanted, the sky would open
If I wanted, the world would burn
But I stay broken
I stay silent
Every wound earned
(Final Chorus)
For every sword that’s drawn tonight
Heaven’s host waits just beyond our sight
Ten thousand wings, I hear them breathe
But I lay my glory at Your feet
Oh Father, Your will—not mine
Let the darkness have its time
(Outro – soft)
In the garden, under moonlit breath
I choose death
I choose death
