Lyrics
[Intro – Spoken / Low]
Do not mistake my silence for mercy
The Judge still watches
The fire still waits
[Verse 1]
I rise from the dust with my face to the flame
Steel in my breath, I remember the Name
Surrounded by wolves but I stand unmoved
They sharpen their tongues, I sharpen my truth
I don’t run from the night, I was built for the storm
Every scar is a seal, every wound is a form
They threaten the flesh, they threaten the bone
But my life is not theirs, it belongs to the throne
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the lies
I feel the fear
But heaven stands
When God is near
[Chorus – Chant]
THE LORD IS ON MY SIDE
I WILL NOT FEAR
WHAT CAN MAN DO UNTO ME
THE LORD IS ON MY SIDE
I WILL NOT FEAR
WHAT CAN MAN DO UNTO ME
[Verse 2]
They pray for my fall, they wait for my breath
But they don’t decide the hour of death
I walk through the fire untouched, unbent
Every step I take is judgment sent
You thought I was weak cause I waited my time
But patience is power when justice is mine
I don’t lift my hand, I don’t strike in rage
I let God speak from the final page
[Breakdown – Drop]
VENGEANCE IS MINE
I WILL REPAY
[Final Chorus – Heavier]
THE LORD IS ON MY SIDE
I WILL NOT FEAR
WHAT CAN MAN DO UNTO ME
THE LORD IS ON MY SIDE
I WILL NOT FEAR
WHAT CAN MAN DO UNTO ME
[Outro – Spoken]
Vengeance is mine
I will repay
Saith the Lord
