VERSE 1
How can You see into my eyes like open gates of stone?
Leading me down to the frozen room where I lost my throne.
I was numb, hollowed out, every prayer turned dry,
’Til Your whisper pierced the cold and stirred me back to life.
Wake me up inside — Lord, call me from the dark,
Bid my blood to run again, reignite my broken heart.
Save me from the nothing, the pit I carved alone,
From the shadows I trusted more than Your eternal throne.
Proverbs strike sharp — every verse a blade:
Honor’s not for fools, and flattery’s a masquerade.
A whip for the stubborn, a bridle for the blind,
And a fool’s own folly always steals his mind.
Don’t follow their madness — lest you fall the same,
But answer their delusion so they choke on their own flame.
CHORUS (1)
Bring me to life, O Christ — awaken my sight,
Pull me from the wreckage and restore me to the Light.
Save me from the venom that corrupts the air I breathe,
For only You speak truth and only You can free.
VERSE 2
I was trapped in the dark while You stood in front of me,
Sleeping thousand-year sleeps, blind to what I couldn’t see.
Fools return to their vomit — cycles of decay,
But wisdom stands firm on the ancient Orthodox way.
Sluggards turn like doors; liars hide their hate,
But wickedness spills open when they gather to debate.
Whoever digs a pit will fall inside their scheme,
And stones rolled in envy crush the ones who dreamed.
CHORUS (2)
Bring me to life, O Christ — awaken my sight,
Pull me from the wreckage and restore me to the Light.
Save me from the venom that corrupts the air I breathe,
For only You speak truth and only You can free.
BRIDGE (VERSE 3 — Application / Lift)
Now strengthen my spirit, Lord — anchor me in grace,
Let the Fathers’ ancient wisdom steady every pace.
Rise in my chest like thunder breaking through the night,
Guide me past deception and crown me with Your light.
Make me a warrior of peace, a witness who stands,
Holding to the Cross with resurrected hands.
For every fool’s snare breaks when Your truth is shown —
You raise the fallen low and call the exiles home.
CHORUS (FINAL)
Bring me to life — breathe fire in my bones,
With You, O Christ, I will never walk alone.
Lift me from the ruins, let every shadow flee,
For only in Your mercy is my soul set free.
