Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

I've broken down the walls beneath my feet
Something's rising up inside of me
Heaven's fire burning in my chest
A breath of life but I need some rest

I've been searching for the place I'm from
Walking endless roads under blazing sun
No weight's too heavy in this great unknown
But I won't forget the kingdom's throne

Hallelujah, I'll find my way
Through the pain I'll seize the day
Eternity's the only road I'll ever know
I'll take this world and steal the show

Don't look down at the shifting sand
Quicksand waiting to drag you in
Walk up higher, don't make a sound
Once was lost but now I am found

But the voices echo in my head
Tell me I'd be better off dead
Still I rise above the doubt and shame
'Cause I know You're calling out my name

Hallelujah, I'll find my way
Through the pain I'll seize the day
Eternity's the only road I'll ever know
I'll take this world and steal the show

Tear down every wall of lies
Fight through the darkest night
No devil's gonna stop me now
I'll stand and fight

Forever at war
For the truth that saves

Now I'm back here on my knees again
You said You'd meet me in my pain
So I choose to trust and let You lead
Break me down if that's what I need

Hallelujah, I'll find my way
Through the pain I'll seize the day
Eternity's the only road I'll ever know
I'll take this world and steal the show

I'll find my way
I'll seize the day
Forever at war
For the truth that saves

Broken Walls [Alt. Version]

The smoke didn’t speak — it just lingered.
Ashes Don’t Wait is the second descent into the Act I of Vivid Dissonance: silent resistance, breathing ruins, and the illusion of stillness.
