In the hush before dawn’s first light
A silent battle stirs the air
Since Eden’s garden, wrong and right
Collide in shadows everywhere
He fell like thunder through the void
Once radiant, now veiled in scorn
A rebel angel, hope destroyed
In pride’s cold furnace he was born
Across the ages, he has roamed
With whispered doubts in every ear
Turning the longing heart from home
Stirring the embers of our fear
He tempted Eve beneath the tree
And challenged Job with ruthless hand
He mocked at Christ on Calvary
Seeking to twist the just and grand
But over all, the Sovereign’s plan
Shines through the fog of every night
The promise waits for broken man
Each wound, each loss, each final fight
The war is waged on mortal ground
In thoughts and choices, dreams and tears
The serpent’s voice, a hissing sound
Yet angels gather, calm our fears
Still, faith endures: a burning flame
That darkness cannot quite consume
The King will call us by our name
And guide us through the gathering gloom
So while the struggle has no end
A cycle fraught with love and pain
The story bends, and God will mend
What Satan tried to break in vain
What Satan tried to break in vain.
