The Second Coming
[Intro]
The first coming
Established the bridge
The second
Is the signal
To awaken
[Verse 1]
He entered a world
Already in darkness
Carrying a note
The darkness could not change
He walked among priests
Who inherited titles
And kings whose authority
Was written on a page
He came as a Lamb
Without an army
No threat in his hands
No crown upon his head
But every heart revealed
Its hidden orientation
By what it chose to love
And what it left for dead
[Pre-Chorus]
The reference entered
The filter was set
The field began dividing
But the hour
Had not come yet
[Chorus]
Wake up
Sleeper
The night has almost gone
The bridge is still standing
The signal has come
Wake up
Sleeper
Let the heartstrings sound
The Lion isn’t coming
To build another bridge
He’s coming
To burn the whole house down
[Interlude]
The Lamb established the filter
The Lion
Closes the test
[Verse 2]
The earth shook beneath them
The rocks were split open
The veil tore in two
From the top to the ground
The old connection ended
The former gate divided
But somewhere in the darkness
A living way was found
The cross marked the rupture
The tomb held the interval
The reference passed through
Without losing its name
Resurrection joined
What death had separated
The form had been transformed
But the signal was the same
[Pre-Chorus]
The mortal touched
The immortal
The boundary
Became a door
The one who crossed between them
Became the way
Forevermore
[Chorus]
Wake up
Sleeper
The night has almost gone
The bridge is still standing
The signal has come
Wake up
Sleeper
Let the heartstrings sound
The Lion isn’t coming
To build another bridge
He’s coming
To bring the circuit round
[Instrumental]
One note
Moving through twelve colours
One light
Moving through every heart
One bridge
Holding both sides together
Waiting for the dormant strings
To start
[Verse]
The wheat and tares grew together
Inside the same field
One moving towards the light
One refusing to be revealed
The filter never forced them
Or assigned them separate names
It simply held the reference
While choice became a frame
Generations crossed the surface
While the roots disclosed the truth
Every branch produced its evidence
Every tree displayed its fruit
The harvest did not shape them
Or decide what they would be
It revealed the destination
Of each chosen trajectory
[Bridge]
Do not think
He came to preserve
The peace of hidden division
The sword was never violence
It was perfect
Precision
A line through performance
A line through disguise
A light that made the darkness
Choose where it would hide
[Breakdown]
The biology remembers
Even when the mind forgets
The instrument stays silent
But the strings
Retain their depth
Then somewhere beyond the boundary
The eternal reference sounds
And every heart compatible
Begins to turn around
[Chorus]
Wake up
Sleeper
The night has almost gone
The bridge is still standing
The signal has come
Wake up
Sleeper
Let the heartstrings sound
The Lion isn’t coming
To build another bridge
He’s coming
To bring the circuit round
[Final Bridge]
As lightning moves
From east to west
The signal crosses
Every prepared chest
The days are shortened
For the ones who hear
What took a thousand years to form
Can change
When the reference is near
The preparation
Took generations
The connection
Takes a moment
[Final Chorus]
Wake up
Sleeper
Put on the light
The Lamb crossed the darkness
The Lion ends the night
Wake up
Sleeper
Let the firmament sing
The mortal puts on immortality
When the heart
Rejoins the string
Wake up
Sleeper
The distance has been spanned
The second coming
Is the signal
And the Kingdom pf God
Is close at hand
[Outro]
