Zephoniel – Rise From the Ruins
No One Can Save You
TRACK #4
By Thomas J. Allen, © 2025
Image: A powerful image of a prophet standing beneath a sky torn with lightning, the Book of Judgment open in his hand. His expression is grave as he points toward a burning city consumed by divine fire. Shadows of those left behind fade into the scorched earth, symbolizing a world that rejected the truth. No intercessor, no escape — only the righteous shall stand. A visual echo of the eternal decree: each soul must answer for itself.
Verse 1
The storm is coming, no place to hide.
You heard the warnings, but chose the lie.
Not even Noah can plead your case —
Each soul must stand in judgment's face.
Verse 2
You trusted men, their empty light,
But righteousness is not by sight.
Though Daniel stood in truth alone,
His prayers can't cover a heart of stone.
Chorus
No one can save you — not the just or the wise.
No one can shield you from the fire in God's eyes.
You must walk the line, through trial and flame,
Or be left behind with none to blame.
Verse 3
Even Job, with faithful scars,
Can't reach down where your idols are.
Each must rise, each must bow —
No one else can save you now.
Bridge
No son, no father, no prophet's grace,
Can take your soul from judgment's place.
Repent today, while there's still breath,
Before the silence swallows death.
Final Chorus
No one can save you — no borrowed prayer,
No second chance when the throne is bare.
Your name or none — the book will tell:
Heaven's gates… or fire's hell.
Outro
"They would save but their own souls… by their righteousness..."
