Descend Lyrics

You fill all things

Even the depths of Sheol

The roots of the mountains

Aren't beyond your control

Dragons carry your prophets

To destinations foretold

Leviathan on your leash

Behemoth pierced through his nose

The water beast meets its end

When it's slain by your sword

Descend, descend, descend

How low can ya go to end our sin

From the high cosmic mountain

Har Mohed, Mount Zion

Descend, descend, descend

Three days and nights

After the dragon was fed

The beast spit you up

His belly upset

Now the serpent is raging

For his kingdom will end

For death is put to death

And all our sins are forgiven

Principalities and powers

Have imploded within

Descend, descend, descend

Can you go lower than we will amen?

From the throne of seventh heaven

To the lower regions

Descend, descend, descend

There on a stone table

The witch cackled and laughed

As they tore off his mane

And they tied him down flat

But death has no hold

On a deeper magic of old

She had become her undoing

She had to give in and fold

No deplorable word

Was strong enough to be spoke

Descend, descend, descend

How low can ya go to bring us in

From high crystal waters

Down to Earth and Tartarus

Descend, descend, descend

Like Enoch saw the angels

That begot the Nephilim

You saw their chains in bondage

And proclaimed their judgment come

The sons of God thought they had victory

But the son of God had won

A bait and switch shifted the ages

A Trojan horse the cross become

Then you left the gate of Hades

Like no man had ever done

Went to earth in resurrection

And rode the clouds to kingdom come

Where evil's just a memory

As you call your faithful ones

And sift through all the harvest

And extend to us "well done"

Ascend, ascend, ascend

With the keys of our death, won't you ascend?

Empty out all of Hades

The seas and Sheol vacant

And ascend, ascend, ascend

Descend, descend, descend

Then ascend and ascend and ascend

And when you come back again

We will rise to descend

Your welcome home party

Saints and angels your friends

As Hell ends injustice

And the new world begins

In the end we descend to ascend
