The silent platforms
Bear witness
To a fading dawn
As a reminder of an age
That is drawing near the end
The crush of darkness
Will soon be swept away
As the brightness of a new dawn
Begins to rise
Politicians and corporates
One day will cease
They’ll be driven
With all their power and authority
Down upon their knees
The brands and labels
Slick and savvy
With all the gold that glitters
Flashing around our heads
Will finally loose its lustre
As filthy lucre falls
No more to rise upon a drunken bed
The depth of darkness
To where man has sunk
The blood
The poison
The death
The rage
Leaves this world
Encaged
Barren and ablaze
The new heaven
The new earth
Will eclipse this falling star
Till that day
Multitudes stand waiting
For God’s people to arise
To shine into this darkened hole
With the glory of Christ the risen King
His power
Releases imprisoned slaves
And sets the captives free
His love
Melts the bars of bronze
To lead those out of darkness
Where His living light
Can open the eyes of all who want to see
Call upon His name
Confess that Christ is Lord
For the Saviour of the world
Appeared and destroyed the devil’s work
He will deliver you
From that dreadful day
So humbly bow your knee
Come to Jesus now
This glorious King
Longs to set you free
