[Verse 1]
Sky feels heavy
Like a storm that never breaks
Newsfeed bleeding
Every headline starts to shake
Heard that story
Since I sat in wooden pews
Thought I knew it
Now I feel it cutting through
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you awake
Or half asleep in the glow
Can you feel the tremor
Running under your bones
[Chorus]
Are you ready for the return
When the clouds all crack and burn
Every crown laid in the dirt
Every proud heart made to learn
Are you ready for the sound
When every knee hits the ground
I’m reaching out through the hurt
Hope you’re ready for the return (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Crosses on chains
But the metal’s growing cold
Quoting verses
Never letting them take hold
I’ve been hiding
In the comfort of my doubt
Now I’m shouting
‘Cause I’m done with sitting out
[Pre-Chorus]
This is a warning
This is mercy in flames
There is a lion
Calling everyone’s name
[Chorus]
Are you ready for the return
When the sky rolls back and turns
Every secret
Every word
Lit up
Seen
All confirmed
Are you ready for the light
Tearing straight through the night
I’m crying out through the burn
Hope you’re ready for the return (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
He’s coming like a thief in the black
Can you feel that fire at your back
Every wall
Every mask
Every lie
Gonna fall
Gonna crack
Gonna die
I don’t say it just to scare you
I scream it ‘cause He still can spare you
[Chorus]
Are you ready for the return
When the graves break
Hearts discern
Every chain crushed in the dirt
Every wound healed of its hurt
Are you ready
Say it loud
Lift your voice from the crowd
I’m holding on to His word
Hope you’re ready for the return
