There’s a signal in the silence, breaking through the modern din Your voice, a flare above the skyline, where the steel and smoke begin We paved over something sacred with machines we can't control But your gaze cuts through the wreckage, reaching down into my soul How did we lose the map we drew When the stars were shining true? You're the voice that cries out in the wilderness Tearing down the walls we built in selfishness While the crowds march blind through mirrored dreams of gold You're the voice that cries out in the wilderness Ahhh— wilderness wails Ohhh— through the veils We've wandered through this wasteland stitched from wires and design Trading prophets for projections, chasing comfort over time But you’re blazing on the ridgeline, with the storm clutched in your fist Every word you speak dismantles what the cynics still insist How did we stray so far from grace When we once walked face to face? You're the voice that cries out in the wilderness Cracking open hearts sealed up in bitterness As the masses sell their birthright for a screen You're the voice that cries out in the wilderness Ahhh— wilderness wails Ohhh— truth prevails Now I see the river rising Through the drought of endless lies Let it cleanse the age of idols Let the living waters rise When the glass towers crumble and we stand in ash and dust Will your flame still guide the remnant who remember how to trust? I've searched the ruins of my reason for a glimpse of something right But your voice keeps pulling forward, like a dawn against the night You're the voice that cries out in the wilderness Calling back the ones who've lost their fearlessness While the kingdoms fall like castles in a stream You're the voice that cries out in the wilderness Ahhh— wilderness sings Ohhh— rise of kings Ahhh— wilderness Ohhh— call us back
