Legions

(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
