[Intro]
War drums
Trumpets of thunder
Steel in the sky
Swords raised high
[Verse 1]
Crimson dawn on Golgotha’s hill
Crown of thorns
Sovereign will
Spit and nails
Yet the Lion stayed
Breathing mercy while the world betrayed
Blood-stained cross
Royal decree
“Father
Forgive” shook eternity
Grave sealed tight under Roman law
Three days later
Stone in awe
[Chorus]
Wrath of the King
Let the heavens ring
Every knee fall down
Every nation sing
Fire in His eyes
Tears for the lost
Lion of Judah
Reigning from the cross
[Verse 2]
Iron teeth of the beast arise
Blasphemies scraping the skies
Kings of earth lift their fragile fists
Dust on dust in a frozen mist
Thunder-word
Like a blade of light
Splits the dark
Ends the night
One white horse
Banners in red
Name above every crown of dread
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
This is not hate
This is holy love burning
Justice returning
For the broken and betrayed
[Female vocals soaring]
He remembers every child unseen
Every silent scream
Every widow’s prayer unanswered in the shade
[Male harsh vocals]
For the wolves in white
For the thrones of lies
For the hands that chained the poor to their despair
[Female + male unison]
Mercy offered
Mercy scorned
Now the righteous Judge is standing there
[Chorus]
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
