The night is so dark
The watchmen called to me on the wall
I asked him
What do you see, son of man?
He told me of marvelous things
How can this be?
The night is so dark
The stars are fallen
All is black
If not for fire and light
I wouldn't see my own feet
"The Light is coming!"
He calls to me
Echoing for what seems like centuries
It isn't yet time for the sun
Yet I see the beam
Splitting the sky
On this dark and evil night
It's been dark for so long
I don't remember the day
Yet this glory cleaves the heavens
Tearing the veil of the atmosphere
Ripping the doom descended upon us
Indeed it is Him!
It is my best Friend
Like lightning ripping from the east
To the west, a glorious fest!
The King has returned
I can barely hear the shofar sounding
Yet my hopeless heart hears Him clearly
And hope warms and softens the rock inside me
Me and so many watchmen cry for joy
Shepherds weep with relief
Virgins dance in the street
Our oppression is over
Our King is come
The night is over
Rain washes us clean
And we're baptised in Holy Spirit fire
Made new, made clean
Sweet reunions
With brothers and sisters long missed
I awake, was it just a dream?
"Watchman, son of man, what do you see?"
"Deep darkness everywhere. But wait, to the east!"
"Yes?"
"I see a single brilliant beam of Light"
I hear his echo for what seems like centuries.
