Legion Has No Throne

Lyrics

Intro

wind, distant thunder

Among the tombs, where the shadows lay,
A man lived bound, far from the day.
The chains could not hold him, the night seemed long,
His voice was weary, his torment strong.

Verse 1

solo cello

The people were frightened, they kept far away,
No comfort could reach him, no words seemed to stay.
But over the waters a visitor came,
With mercy and power, Yeshua His Name.
The darkness was troubled, the spirits drew near,
For One stood before them they knew they must fear.
Yeshua spoke firmly, His question was plain:
“What is your name?” came the question again.

Pre-Chorus

rising drums

“We are Legion, for we are many,” they cried,
But no multitude could make truth step aside.
They pleaded for mercy, they feared the abyss,
For their power could not overcome His.

Chorus

thunderous choir

LEGION! LEGION! YOU HOLD NO THRONE!
THE MAN YOU HAD TORMENTED IS NOT YOUR OWN!
NO NUMBER CAN CONQUER, NO DARKNESS CAN STAND,
WHEN YESHUA SPEAKS WITH AUTHORITY AND COMMAND!
LET THE CHAINS FALL DOWN!
LET THE CAPTIVE GO!
LET THE LIGHT OF MERCY THROUGH THE DARKNESS GLOW!
THE NIGHT WAS LONG, BUT THE DAWN HAS SHOWN,
LEGION! LEGION! YOU HOLD NO THRONE!

Verse 2

heavy strings

A herd on the hillside, the waters below,
The spirits sought entry, they begged Him to go.
Permission was given, the swine rushed away,
And plunged down the bank to the waters that day.
The man who was suffering sat clothed and restored,
His mind now at peace, by the power of the Word.
The people were shaken by all they had seen,
The man who was tormented now sat there serene.

Bridge

silence, solo female vocal

One life is worth more than the fear of a crowd,
One voice can be heard when the world is too loud.
Remember the man, not the terror alone,
Remember the mercy that called him back home.

Final Chorus

double choir

LEGION! LEGION! YOU HOLD NO THRONE!
THE MAN WHO WAS LOST IS NO LONGER ALONE!
THE SHADOWS HAVE PASSED AND THE MORNING HAS SHOWN,
THE LIGHT OF YESHUA HAS CALLED HIM BACK HOME!

Outro

gentle guitar

He carried the story to places he knew,
Of mercy received and a life made anew.
And where there was anguish, a witness was sown:
No darkness has power to claim every throne.
