18. Zechariah: Visions of Restoration 4:33
"Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit."
Through dreams and symbols, Zechariah pointed toward restoration and the coming of the Messiah.
This track drifts between shadow and light, as ancient visions are revealed through divine symbols.

INTRO
"Behold, I will bring forth My servant, the Branch...
The stone laid before Joshua —
Seven eyes upon it..."
VERSE 1
A man in filthy robes stood still,
Accused beneath the angel's will.
But fire burned and voice declared:
Remove the shame — be now repaired.
A crown, a flame, a golden lamp,
Two olive trees beside the ramp.
Anointed streams, not flesh or sword —
But by My Spirit, says the Lord.
CHORUS
Not by power, not by fight,
But by the Spirit, comes the Light.
A Branch will rise — no earthly throne,
Yet kings shall bow before His own.
VERSE 2
A rider comes, meek and low,
On a donkey, slow and bold.
Peace to nations, war will cease —
He shall rule, the Prince of Peace.
I saw the stone with eyes of flame,
I heard the voices speak His name.
Cleansed in blood, robed in white,
He walks among the golden light.
FINAL CHORUS
Not by kings...
Not by blades...
But by the One the world betrayed.
The Branch shall come...
The stone shall fall...
And Spirit fire shall cleanse it all.
