Lyrics
When Lions Lie Down
♪ Synced lyrics coming soon
Lyrics
The sword sleeps beneath the olive tree,
Rust in the sun like forgotten war cries
Children trace stars in the dust of the hills
Where no shadow dares to rise
The lion sighs beside the lamb,
In fields that once wept fire and fear
A child walks barefoot through wildflower jaws
And never sheds a tear
No more thrones of trembling bone
No more crowns of dust and stone
Only voices like rainfall echo through the dawn
And the earth shall know —
As waters cover the endless sea
Every heart made whole,
Bathed in light and mystery
The silence of fear undone
By the song of the risen sun
And the earth shall know —
A world reborn, a kingdom come
Mountains remember what wrath forgot
Their roots grown deep in the peace of God
The wolf wears wonder in golden eyes
At the cradle of awe and law
No killing hand, no sharpened tongue
No poisoned stream, no exile’s song
Only the knowing — like morning dew —
That right was right all along
No more veils of smoke and pride
No more truths we have to hide
Just the fire that doesn’t burn, but frees
And the earth shall know —
As waters cover the endless sea
Every breath will glow
With the pulse of eternity
The silence of fear undone
By the voice of the only One
And the earth shall know —
A world reborn, a kingdom come
The child will lead
Without a crown, without a creed
Just eyes that see
What we forgot to believe
Roots in bloom where ruin stood
The language of the soul understood
And the earth shall know —
As waters cover the endless sea
Every soul will grow
In the light of what shall be
The silence of fear undone
By the dawn of the risen Son
And the earth shall know —
A world remade, a kingdom come
And the lion lies down
And the lamb dreams free
As it was, as it is,
As it always shall be...
