Verse 1
Desert wind howlin’ through a graveyard plain
Sun bleached skulls in the heat and the pain
Scattered, shattered, no pulse in the chest
Hope long buried, laid down to rest
Prophet standin’ in the valley low
God said, “Son of man, can these bones live? Tell me so.”
Silence thick like the dust in the air
But a spark hit hard when he answered in prayer
Pre-Chorus
Speak to the bones
Call them by name
Breathe on the broken
Ignite the flame
Chorus
Rattle the bones — hear the sound!
Rise up from the graveyard ground!
Stand to your feet — claim the throne!
No more sleeping in the valley alone!
Breath of God — take control!
Fire in the lungs of a lifeless soul!
We were dry — now we stand!
An army rising across this land!
⸻
Verse 2
Bone to bone, hear the crack
Tendons pullin’, skin grows back
What was dead now starts to move
Power surgin’, something to prove
This ain’t history buried in sand
This is now, this is men who stand
Kingdom connection, hearts on fire
Called to the altar, rising higher
From coast to coast hear the thunder roll
Men waking up, taking back their role
No more hiding, no more shame
We’re stepping forward in Jesus’ name
Pre-Chorus
Call to the north
Call to the south
Breath from heaven
Fill every mouth
Chorus
Rattle the bones — hear the sound!
Rise up from the graveyard ground!
Stand to your feet — claim the throne!
No more sleeping in the valley alone!
Breath of God — take control!
Fire in the lungs of a lifeless soul!
We were dry — now we stand!
An army rising across this land!
⸻
Bridge (intense, rhythmic chant feel)
Wake up! Wake up!
Can you hear it?
Wake up! Wake up!
Spirit near us!
Dead hearts beating
Chains are breaking
Men of God
No more faking
Stand firm
Stand bold
Blood bought
Spirit filled
No retreat
No disguise
Fire in our bones
Fire in our eyes
⸻
Breakdown (slower, heavy build)
Prophesy to the breath…
Prophesy to the wind…
Call the warriors home again…
From dry bones to battle cry
From sleeping dust to lifted eyes
He said live — and we obey
We rise together, here today
⸻
Final Chorus (bigger, layered feel)
Rattle the bones — shake the ground!
Hear the resurrection sound!
Lift your voice — make it known!
We are not fighting alone!
Breath of God — flood this place!
Raise an army by Your grace!
We were dry — now we stand!
Your kingdom rising across this land!
