Full Song Lyrics
Verse 1 — Kings Rise and Fall
Three kings will stand, then one more rise,
Rich in power before all eyes.
He’ll stir the realm with wealth and might,
Yet soon his kingdom splits from sight.
Divided winds will pull apart
What once was held by one strong heart.
Not to his heirs his rule will stay,
His power scattered, swept away.
Verse 2 — North and South
The south grows strong, a prince ascends,
The north replies as war descends.
They trade in schemes, in marriage bound,
But faithless vows will not hold ground.
Armies surge and cities fall,
Fortresses rise, then lose it all.
Betrayal waits at tables spread,
Ambition writes the path they tread.
Chorus — Written Beforehand
All this was written long before,
Each clash of steel, each closing door.
Men may plan and crowns may change,
But God’s sure word remains the same.
Verse 3 — Contemptible King
A vile one rises, not by right,
Flattery crowns him in the night.
He sweeps away with sudden force,
Breaks covenant without remorse.
He turns his rage on holy ground,
Profanes the place where truth was found.
He stops the sacrifice once made,
Sets up a lie where God was praised.
Chorus — Written Beforehand
All this was written long before,
Each clash of steel, each closing door.
Men may plan and crowns may change,
But God’s sure word remains the same.
Verse 4 — The Faithful Stand
With smooth deceit he wins the weak,
But those who know their God will speak.
They stand firm, though many fall,
Refined by fire through trial’s call.
For days appointed they will fall,
By sword and flame and capture’s wall.
Yet help will come, though small it seems,
To purge and prove God’s faithful remnant’s dreams.
Bridge — The Proud End
The king exalts himself above,
Rejects all gods, defies true love.
He prospers till the end is near,
For what is set will soon appear.
No helper comes, no power stands,
He meets his end by God’s own hand.
Outro — Endure in Truth
So hold the truth when times grow hard,
When power mocks the Lord’s regard.
What God has spoken will remain,
Stand firm in Him… through loss or gain.
