i'm waiting till the day dawns waiting till the day star rises
twilight's faded to the dusk and the dusk to the midnight
and the fields are ripe for the harvest of the grain
can i be with you in your kingdom?
can i stand by your side as you reign?
like a thundercloud will you say my name out loud?
will you say that you know me?
when i stand before you on your white throne
will your scepter sway? will you smile and say i am blood bought?
i've been tried by fire and washed in the rain from your mountain
from your holy hill, can i drink my fill from your fountain?
with the echo of your voice in my ears as i stand by the sea of glass
the moon is red, blood red, and the sun's black
pillars smoke upon the horizon and empires will fall like towers crumble
down to the ground- the dust won't settle in the distance
the hour and the power of darkness will rear its ugly head again
to blind the eyes of men when the whole world's on fire
but out of the dust, out of the wreckage, prophets stand in the rubble
preaching from the flames of a kingdom coming
when all of nature groans and when she aches
when the mountains quake, the earth shakes and men's hearts break
and fail for fear then you know that the end is very near
heaven open, sprinkle stardust in my eyes from the day that's dawning
hear me call, rise the Day Star in my heart- my King is coming
a billion neon watts light the city that man made
but it doesn't hold a candle to the grandeur, to your majesty
i'm looking to the hills and i'm looking to the mountains from whence comes my help
and i can see the faint glow of a sunrise that will shoot time dead with golden arrows
hasten the day, come take your bride away
send your cherubim chariots to carry the conquering children home to the promise land
bright and morning star paint the sky so far with the colors from the dawn
of an eternal day that will chase shadows away
that will set up light upon a throne in the center of it all
