🎶 Lyrics:

[Verse 1] (Slow, crushing, doom-laden riff) THE LAND OF ZEBULUN! THE LAND OF NAPHTALI! THE WAY OF THE SEA! GALILEE OF THE GENTILES! THE PEOPLE DWELLING IN DARKNESS! SATURATED IN THE BLACKEST NIGHT! HOPELESS! LIFELESS! BOUND IN CHAINS! WHERE THE SHADOW OF DEATH REIGNS!

[Chorus] (Music explodes into fast, bright tremolo picking and blast beats) 🎶 HAVE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT! A BLINDING, BURNING, HOLY SIGHT! FOR THOSE DWELLING IN THE REGION OF THE DEAD! ON THEM A LIGHT HAS DAWNED! THE DARKNESS FLED! REPENT! THE KINGDOM IS AT HAND! THE LIGHT CONSUMES THE LAND! 🎶

[Verse 2] (The slow doom riff returns) NO MORE GLOOM FOR HER WHO WAS IN ANGUISH! THE CHAINS ARE BROKEN, THE DEMONS LANGUISH! HE WALKS THE SHORE, HE HEALS THE SICK! THE DEAD ARE RISEN, THE PULSE IS QUICK! THE SHADOW CANNOT COMPREHEND! THE REIGN OF NIGHT HAS REACHED ITS END!

[Guitar Solo] (A sweeping, neoclassical guitar solo sounding like a beam of light cutting through chaos)

[Bridge] (Tempo slows to a brutal breakdown) The Shadow! Is Burned! The Light! Has Returned!

[Outro] (The fast tremolo riff returns) 🎶 A GREAT LIGHT! HAS DAWNED! 🎶 (Song ends with a final, ringing major chord amidst distortion)
