[Intro]
A hush over the ages, bells fold into the sky
Silence after the storm, a timeless lullaby
[Verse 1]
In revelation’s garden, a silver seal is drawn
A chain of light binds the tempted one, the dawn has dawned
The throne of the faithful shines, a thousand years in grace
While deep within the earth’s long dream, judgment finds its place
[Pre-Chorus]
But echoes rise from pages old and worn
A final call for every soul that’s sworn
[Chorus]
The opening Book exposes truth, the righteous march homeward
A world in quiet servitude, a prison made of dawnward light
Tears mark the road of mercy, salvation drums their night
And peace proclaims a sky restored, a new heaven breaks the night
[Verse 2]
Old banners fade to memory as the angels stand in line
The saints return to fields once bright, now lit by holy sign
Swords are laid for harvest, mercy seals the gate
The earth becomes a chamber, waiting for the perfect state
[Pre-Chorus]
Yet shadows tell of battles fought where blood once spilled
The book again is opened, truth is gently willed
[Chorus]
The opening Book exposes truth, the righteous march homeward
A world in quiet servitude, a prison made of dawnward light
Tears mark the road of mercy, salvation drums their night
And peace proclaims a sky restored, a new heaven breaks the night
[Bridge]
A thousand years in quiet, time held by a holy ring
The world learns to breathe in silence, while the faithful crown their King
[Chorus]
The opening Book exposes truth, the righteous march homeward
A world in quiet servitude, a prison made of dawnward light
Tears mark the road of mercy, salvation drums their night
And peace proclaims a sky restored, a new heaven breaks the night
[Outro]
When the millennial watch is over, all tears are wiped away
A voice declares, Behold, I make all things new today
The gates of life unfold, the old is shed for endless day
And with the saints, the earth finds home, in everlasting stay
