Monolith lyrics

[Intro]
Let your fire fall down
Let your fire fall down

[Chorus]
I am the watchman
I am the monolith
I am the salt that delays decay
Light a fire in my heart
Shut up the fire in my bones
I am the watchman
I am the monolith
I am the salt that delays decay
Advent is coming
Until then, Lord, let me not dismay

[Verse 1]
I cannot hide the truth
Or hide behind a lie
There is something I can't ignore, this thorn in my side
This gut-wrenching feeling
Intensifies when I close my eyes
My whole being groans
I cannot, I cannot dеny
He is risen from the dеad
That dead men might be alive
The Truth overcame the lie
So believe and be reconciled
[Chorus]
I am the watchman
I am the monolith
I am the salt that delays decay
Fill me with boldness, remove all doubt
Put my mind to rest and the words in my mouth
I am the watchman
I am the monolith
I am the salt that delays decay
Advent is coming
Until then, Lord, let me not dismay

[Breakdown 1]
You are love
Both the definition, and the origin
You are love
Both the definition, and the origin

[Verse 1]
I cannot hide the truth
Or hide behind a lie
There is something I cannot ignore, this thorn in my side
This gut-wrenching feeling
Intensifies when I close my eyes
My whole being groans
I cannot, I cannot deny
He is risen from the dead
That dead men might be alive
The Truth overcame the lie
So believe and be reconciled
[Verse 2]
A free gift extended
That you can't be worthy of, earn, or buy
So I'm determined to preach nothing more than Jesus Christ crucified

[Breakdown 2]
The watchman's prayer oversees us all
Steady these hands and lower our guard
Steadfast eyes fixed on The Lord
Sword and Shield through the flames
Divine empowerment in Jesus name
I cannot deny
Your truth, Your strength
This broken soul you've reclaimed

[Outro]
You have promised me more abundantly
More than I could ever hope or ask
I ask for more power from on high to clothe me
So that I won't shrink back
I won't shrink back
