When We Were Kings

(Verse 1) Within ancient scrolls The stories unfold A tale of the sky Turning cold The trumpet will sound And the stars will collide As nations fall Oceans divide The twilight of time As Heaven declares The end of the world’s drawing near Skies are ablaze The trumpets resound It’s Armageddon's Battleground It’s Armageddon’s Battleground! (Chorus) It’s the End of Days And the final bow The world is aflame As the scriptures avow Angels will weep When the heavens unfurl On this dark and Broken World (Verse 2) Seals are all broken As the judgment nears Warnings were never More clear The battle is over destiny’s claimed Nothing ever will be the same The dust settles in The smoke slowly clears Chants of victory amidst every fear Darkness will reign And the shadows will crawl The earth's final curtain shall fall The earth's final curtain shall fall! (Chorus) It’s the End of Days And the final bow The world is aflame As the scriptures avow Angels will weep When the heavens unfurl On this dark and Broken World (Solo) (Chorus) It’s the End of Days And the final bow The world is aflame As the scriptures avow Angels will weep When the heavens unfurl On this Broken World It’s the End of Days And the final bow The world is aflame As the scriptures avow Angels will weep When the heavens unfurl On this dark and Broken World

Deep in our hearts Where pain resides The weights leaving marks That scars cannot hide Rising above The storms that we make The key to the soul The soul to be saved Is to forgive The unforgivable Means we live And healing begins to show Bitterness, a crutch It clings like a cloak The poison of hate Has to be revoked It's never about Excusing what's wrong There's only one way For us to be strong Is to forgive The unforgivable It means we live And healing begins to show Show Rising above The storms that we make The key to the soul The soul and heart to be saved Is to forgive The unforgivable It means we live And healing begins to show

Bold and fearless We set our sails We paved the way And blazed the trails Faded pages That are worn and torn But through the years Our gift was born When we were kings Of our own time We started young And hoped to climb But seasons change And so did we Now we long for what We used to be We used to be Dancing shadows Upon the wall We can clearly hear Them call Every chapter Is turning page by page As the rivers of life rage When we were kings Of our own time We started young And hoped to climb But seasons change And so did we Now we long for what We used to be When we were kings Of our own time We started young And hoped to climb But seasons change And so did we We long for what We used to be When we were kings Of our own time We started young And hoped to climb But seasons change And so did we Now we long for what We used to be We used to be

Buried beneath Where trust used to lie I hear a sweet Deceitful sigh Thoughts are woven In realms of deceit A heart is broken And now incomplete Incomplete Betrayed by love Deceived by truth Words will claim Our own virtues A tainted life From bitter rue Betrayed, betrayed by you Promises made We're caught in the wind When trust fled away It exposed the wounds deep within Betrayed by love Deceived by truth Words will claim Our own virtues A tainted life From bitter rue Betrayed, betrayed by you The pain's hard to bare As I stop and stare At the mountain I've built from my own despair I've made up my mind I won't stop 'til I find The reasons why I Used to care Betrayed by love Deceived by truth Words will claim Our own virtues A tainted life From bitter rue Betrayed, betrayed by you, oh Betrayed by love Deceived by truth Words will claim Our own virtues A tainted life From bitter rue Betrayed, betrayed by you

In the still of the night Underneath the stars that shine so bright Carries the wind with sighs And visions of dreams gone by In laughter and tears And through the passage of the years The moments that we have shared Nothing can be compared Sometimes the words just won't convey The depth of what we hide away All I'm, saying With every night and waking Through the, rhyme of time Your melody keeps playing Sometimes the silence Sounds much louder than the words And in the unspoken A whole universe is heard I whisper my heart's desires And confess my love to you And I'm searching for a way I can show you every day Though seasons change Your love's the same I know it will always remain All I'm, saying With every night and waking Through the, rhyme of time Your melody keeps playing All I'm, saying With every night and waking Through the, rhyme of time Your melody keeps playing All I'm, saying With every night and waking Through the, rhyme of time Your melody keeps playing

I remember the story Of how we came to be A beautiful vision You've always been to me A romantic movie A rainy day in bed You're my only escape And the shelter where I'm led When you are gone Life's not the same But when you are here Unashamed I'm raptured, raptured Raptured by your love I'm captured, captured Captured by your love I'm captured by your love yeah Oh From the beginning I knew that you would be The start and the ending Everything in between More than the stars Much more than the universe My near and my far My simple and diverse I feel alone When you're away But when you return I can say I'm raptured, raptured Raptured by your love I'm captured, captured Captured by your love When you are gone Life's not the same But when you are here I can say, unashamed I'm raptured, raptured Raptured by your love I'm captured, captured Captured by your love I'm raptured, raptured Raptured by your love I'm captured, captured Captured by your love By your love

Before the morning light When worlds are sleeping I see my life And promises I'm keeping With every breath I take I am alive and free 'Cause my life is what it's meant to be I'm so grateful I built on solid ground For every high and every low And for the lost and found I'm grateful In the darkest times When all my hope is gone I find the strength within To face a new dawn And with every trial I see There's lessons to be learned And I'm thankful for the wisdom earned I'm so grateful That I built on solid ground For every high and every low And for the lost and found Though the stormy skies Will bring the pouring rain I'll always see the victory And my heart will remain Grateful I'm so grateful I built on solid ground For every high and every low And for the lost and found Though the stormy skies will bring the pouring rain I'll always see the victory And my heart will remain Grateful Grateful Grateful Grateful

In a world divided Where lines are drawn And hearts are torn asunder Like the break of dawn A tapestry of differences Woven tight But in our separation We always lose the light Though our fears Pull us apart We all share A beating heart We live in a world Divided by design Let's break down the walls And realign Find common ground With hate redefined Let's let love resound And bridge the divide The colors and the creeds Like a shattered mirror Reflecting differences Becoming clearer Within the broken fractures There's beauty to unfold in every story That's waiting to be told Fear will always, fuel the fire But grace will set, us free And inspire We live in a world Divided by design Let's break down the walls And realign Find common ground With hate redefined Let's let love resound And bridge the divide We live in a world Divided by design Let's break down the walls And realign Find common ground With hate redefined Let's let love resound And bridge the divide We live in a world Divided by design Let's break down the walls And realign Find common ground With hate redefined Let's let love resound Bridge the divide

Inside a world that's flawed Darkness finds a way Where imperfections dance And dreams lie in decay With shattered pieces of hope we've held so tight Within the brokenness Of our relentless fight Our relentless fight In, our imperfect world The canvas of our scars Inside the twists and twirls We all are shooting stars Amidst the chaos Struggles will unfold In every storyline And every tale untold We stumble and fall In our quest for grace But when we're standing tall We will find our place We will find our place In, our imperfect world The canvas of our scars Inside the twists and twirls We all are shooting stars, oh Stars In, our imperfect world The canvas of our scars Inside the twists and twirls We're shooting stars In, our imperfect world The canvas of our scars Inside the twists and twirls We all are shooting stars We're shooting stars
