Every stone that makes you stumble And cuts you when you fall Every serpent here that strikes your heel To curse you when you crawl The king of love one day will crush them all
And every sad seduction, and every clever lie Every word that woos and wounds the pilgrim, children of the sky The king of love will break them by and by
And you will rise up in the end You will rise up in the end I know the night is cruel But the day is coming soon When you will rise up in the end
If a thief had come to plunder When the children were alone If he ravaged every daughter And murdered every son Would not the father see this? Would not his anger burn? Would he not repay the tyrant In the day of his return? Await, await the day of his return
Cause he will rise up in the end He will rise up in the end I know you need a savior He’s patient in his anger But he will rise up in the end
And when the stars come crashing to the sea When the high and mighty fall down on their knee We’ll see the Son descending in the sky The chains of death will fall around your feet
And you will rise up in the end You will rise up in the end You will rise up in the end I know you will
