"Bend The Knee" lyrics

"Bend The Knee"

The skies are open and the throne stands alone
The earth is groaning as the dead leave their bones
Bite down
Feel the world begin to shake
The end is near, it's the final wake

Death has quenched its thirst
Rising first are gardens that bloom from graves unbarred

Breathe in the ash as a new heaven emerges
Prepared for death, angels choir fills the air
Tears evaporate
Mourning ceases
These old orders have passed
Life is reborn

A final judgment but you hold your fate
Condemn your demons now before it's too late
Damned to hell
Can't save yourself
Savior, help!

Stand before
Bend the knee
Bow

The books replete with deeds that are open
One bound by blood; an invitation
Turn by turn the gavel strikes
A second death or eternal life

(Breathe in the ash as a new heaven emerges)

Breathe in the ash as a new heaven emerges
Prepared for death, angels choir fills the air
Tears evaporate
Mourning ceases
These old orders have passed
Life is reborn
Life is reborn
