(Verse)
Upper room, sealed jaws of fear
Tongues of flame lick mortal ears
Wind like blades through splintered bone
Fishermen roar—thrones overthrown
Galilee spits prophecy
Blood-soaked streets hear blasphemy
Rome sneers, priests grind their teeth
The spark ignites beneath their feet
(Pre-Chorus)
Nails remembered, stone rolled wide
Witnesses armed with crucified pride
(Chorus)
Ye shall receive power — thunder in the skull,
After that the Holy Ghost is come upon you — lungs fill full,
Repent, and be baptized — drown the old command,
We ought to obey God rather than men — sever the hand!
(Verse)
Beautiful Gate—silver lies
Beggar screams as sinew ties
“Rise and walk” splits marrow clean
Leaping proof of what they’ve seen
Council fumes, the cells lock tight
Chains dissolve in angel light
Nightwatch pale, the doors stand bare
Morning finds them preaching there
(Pre-Chorus)
Stones are cocked, the crowd convulsed
Truth is poison, death is pulp
(Chorus)
Ye shall receive power — thunder in the skull,
After that the Holy Ghost is come upon you — lungs fill full,
Repent, and be baptized — drown the old command,
We ought to obey God rather than men — sever the hand!
(Bridge)
Stephen’s face—a burning sky
History howls as rocks reply
He sees the Son at God’s right hand
He bleeds the seed across the land
(Verse)
Road to Damascus—white-hot scar
Hunter shattered by a star
Name exchanged, the venom drains
Apostle forged from broken chains
Shipwreck psalms and prison hymns
Earthquake drums at midnight sins
Jailor kneels, the doors stay shut
Freedom kills the tyrant’s gut
(Breakdown)
Witness!
To Jerusalem—
Judea—
Samaria—
Ends of the earth—
BLEED THE WORD!
(Chorus)
Ye shall receive power — thunder in the skull,
After that the Holy Ghost is come upon you — lungs fill full,
Repent, and be baptized — drown the old command,
We ought to obey God rather than men — SEVER THE HAND!
(Chorus)
Ye shall receive power — thunder in the skull,
After that the Holy Ghost is come upon you — lungs fill full,
Repent, and be baptized — drown the old command,
We ought to obey God rather than men — SEVER THE HAND!
