When the King Draws Near | Epic Latin & English Symphonic Metal Christmas | Christian Metal

Описание: Ancient Latin prayer meets modern Symphonic Metal. "When the King Draws Near" is not a lullaby, it is a battle cry for the Prince of Peace.

In the deep waiting of Advent, when the world groans for redemption and hearts cry "Maranatha", this is the song of holy anticipation.

With soaring orchestral metal, Latin prayer, and the ancient longing of Isaiah's prophecies, "When the King Draws Near" proclaims both comings of Christ: the Child in the manger and the King returning in glory.

For every chain that needs breaking.
For every heart that still waits.
For every kingdom that trembles before the Prince of Peace.

This track blends the thunder of Symphonic Metal with the sacred stillness of Latin chant. Featuring the ancient "Veni, Domine" (Come, Lord) prayer, it builds from a whisper to a wall of sound, capturing the tension of Advent and the glory of the King's arrival.

Latin Translations:
Veni, Domine, in tenebris - Come, Lord, into the darkness
Veni lumen, Rex gloriae - Come Light, King of Glory
Veni, Salvator gentium - Come, Savior of the nations

Lyrics:
Intro
Night is deep, the world is waiting
Candles tremble in the cold
Hearts are tired of empty kingdoms
Longing for a promised throne

Verse 1
Veni, Domine, in tenebris
Let Your dawn arise
Every valley, every desert
Lifts a weary, watchful cry
Silent streets and restless shadows
Winds that cut like stone
All creation holds its breathing
For a King to claim His own

Pre-Chorus
Voices rise from dust and ashes
From the ruins of our fear
Every whispered Maranatha
Says the Kingdom’s drawing near

Chorus
When the King draws near
Every chain will fall
Every shadow flee the light of His appearing
When the King draws near
Every knee will bow
Every broken heart will wake and start rejoicing
Lift your eyes from earth to sky
For the Lord, our Light, is here
We are waiting, we are watching
For the King to draw near

Verse 2
Crowns of gold and thrones of iron
Crack beneath His feet
Every power built on violence
Shakes before His mercy’s beat
Widows sing and orphans whisper
Prison doors swing wide
Those forgotten by the empires
Find their names before His eyes

Pre-Chorus
Trumpets echo over Zion
Like a storm of holy fire
Every lamp that’s still kept burning
Marks a heart that still desires

Chorus
When the King draws near
Every chain will fall
Every shadow flee the light of His appearing
When the King draws near
Every knee will bow
Every broken heart will wake and start rejoicing
Lift your eyes from earth to sky
For the Lord, our Light, is here
We are waiting, we are watching
For the King to draw near

Bridge
Veni lumen, Rex gloriae
Shine Your fire in the night
Veni, Salvator gentium
Set our waiting hearts alight
We have walked through endless winter
We have wept in silent years
But Your promise never falters
You are closer than our tears

Bridge 2
Not in armor, not in thunder
But in flesh and fragile cry
Heaven’s King within a manger
Under Bethlehem’s poor sky
Yet this Child will shake the nations
Break the sword and crush the spear
From the cradle to the gallows
Still His Kingdom draws us near

Final Chorus
When the King draws near
Every chain will fall
Every shadow flee the light of His appearing
When the King draws near
Every knee will bow
Every wounded heart will rise to singing
Let the trumpet sound His name
Let the distant hills all cheer
We are waiting, we are watching
For the King to draw near
We are waiting, we are watching
For the King to draw near

Outro
Veni, Domine, stay with us
Till the final night is through
When the King draws near in glory
Let us stand in joy with You
