(Verse 1)
A bitter root, it tries to grow inside
Corrupting the wellspring where the holy rivers ride
I see the fire, I hear the trumpet blast
A desperate warning from a shadow of the past
They stood on Sinai, a mountain cloaked in fear
Begging for silence, praying not to hear
That voice of thunder, the terrifying sound
When even an animal can't touch the ground!
(Pre-Chorus)
Was it too late for a blessing you gave away?
Crying tears of vengeance at the close of day
Rejected, exposed, you sold your sacred right
Traded for a moment, lost to endless night!
(Chorus)
Shake the earth! Shake the sky!
Everything that's temporary, watch it die!
We're on Mount Zion, the city of the King
Unshakable Kingdom, the anthem that we sing!
Devouring Fire! A holy fear and awe!
Gotta live this life, gotta heed the final call!
(Verse 2)
Forget the darkness, the gloom and the whirlwind storm
Now we're in the assembly, where the righteous ones are born
To a new covenant, a better word is spoken
Forgiveness in the blood, the seal that can't be broken
He's speaking from Heaven, you better choose to listen
No second chance for those who dare to dismiss Him
The Judge is watching, the names are written down
In the heavenly city, no more to be cast down!
(Pre-Chorus)
Was it too late for a blessing you gave away?
Crying tears of vengeance at the close of day
Rejected, exposed, you sold your sacred right
Traded for a moment, lost to endless night!
(Chorus)
Shake the earth! Shake the sky!
Everything that's temporary, watch it die!
We're on Mount Zion, the city of the King
Unshakable Kingdom, the anthem that we sing!
Devouring Fire! A holy fear and awe!
Gotta live this life, gotta heed the final call!
(Guitar Solo - Fast, frantic, and soaring)
(Bridge)
He promises to shake it all again
Not just the dirt below, but where the air gets thin
Creation's coming down, the fragile things must go
Only the eternal, the unshakable will show!
(Chorus)
Shake the earth! Shake the sky!
Everything that's temporary, watch it die!
We're on Mount Zion, the city of the King
Unshakable Kingdom, the anthem that we sing!
Devouring Fire! A holy fear and awe!
Gotta live this life, gotta heed the final call!
(Outro)
Unshakable! (Fire!)
Unshakable! (Awe!)
Unshakable!
