Awake to the Sound
For All Eternity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could not see, and I was captivated, in disbelief.
But now, my eyes are open. I have new sight and You are the light that i'm chasing.
If only You were standing right in front of me.
I hate this separation, this is not where i’m meant to be.
We must be together, theres nothing else this world can offer me.
But I wont give up, and i wont give in.
Can you hear the sound?
Coming to find me, coming to bring me home.
Come find us, here we are.
Sitting, hoping and seeking, Your love, to overflow.
Because, I owe everything that I am to You,
and everything I have belongs to Your kingdom.
I must bare the truth.
Can you hear the sound.
Theres no sweeter sound, than the footsteps of the Almighty.
Coming to find me, coming to bring me home.
Theres no sweeter sound.
I can hear the footsteps, I can hear Him coming.
I can hear the footsteps, I can hear Him coming.
To take us home.
Theres no sweeter sound.
I can hear the footsteps.
Of the Almighty.

This darkness, left me with nothing
I could not see, and I was captivated
In disbelief, in disbelief
But now, my eyes are open.
I have new sight and you are the light
That I'm chasing
If only you were standing right in front of me
I hate this separation, this is not where I'm meant to be
We must be together, there's nothing else that this world can offer me
But I won't give up, and I won't give in
Can you hear the sound, can you hear the sound
Can you hear the sound?
There's no sweeter sound than the footsteps of the Almighty
Coming to find me, coming to bring me home
Come find us, here we are
Sitting and hoping and seeking your love to overflow
Because I owe everything that I am to you
And everything I have belongs to your kingdom
I must bare the truth, I must bare the truth
Can you hear the sound?

To take us home
There's no sweeter sound
There's no sweeter sound
There's no sweeter sound
I can hear the footsteps
I can hear the footsteps

Just found these guys like a year ago. Been playing nonstop. Most powerful lyrics I've found in a Christian metal band. Wish they would make new music.
