Stone by stone, these temples rise
Above the graves of sacrifice
The kings will let their power corrupt
Forgotten the One who lifts them up
The prophets cry, the warnings fall
On deafened ears, behind a stone’s throw wall
It’s the gold, it’s the idols, human nature reigns
In the shadow, in the dusk of a holy name
(In the shadow, in the dusk of a holy name)
It happened so fast, why did you blink?
A reckoning taken to ink
These thrones are ashes as kingdoms fall
The voice beneath
Consumes it all
From the heights of pride
To the depths of pain
Woah!
The God of Kings will rise again
How did you miss the voice in the flame?
Who really stands to call your name?
Did you see what the altar burns?
While the world of men refuse to learn
This will all be erased, the bloodlines fade
The cycles turn, the debts are paid
It will fall down as the hammer sounds
The weight of justice pulls them down
(The weight of justice pulls them down)
It happened so fast, why did you blink?
A reckoning taken to ink
These thrones are ashes as kingdoms fall
The voice beneath
Consumes it all
From the heights of pride
To the depths of pain
Woah!
The God of Kings will rise again
(The God of Kings will rise again)
The crown of pride is forged in lies
Built on bones of a million cries
No empire stands, no man can claim
The glory due to the unchanging name
Whoa!
The remnant waits in the darkest night
For the kingdom come, for the holy light
The days of kings head for the grave
As we call the only one who saves
These thrones are ashes as kingdoms fall
The voice beneath
Consumes it all
From the heights of pride
To the depths of pain
Woah!
The God of Kings will rise again
Let the flames consume the pride
The golden idols built to hide
For every king who fades away
(Fades away)
There’s a King Who will never sway
Woah, woah, woah, oh, oh
Woah, woah, woah, oh
Woah, woah, woah
The God of Kings will rise again
