2. Enoch: Before the Foundations 6:08

From the ancient days before the flood, Enoch saw the glory and judgment of God —
and the naming of the Son of Man before the sun, before the stars, before time itself.
This track is a revelation from the earliest prophet, whose words echo beyond the grave, beyond the flood, beyond the world.

INTRO

"Before the sun...
Before the signs...
Before the stars...
His name was named."

VERSE 1

When blood cried out from the silent ground,
The holy ones wept without sound.
From heaven they watched the righteous slain,
And their prayers rose like ancient flame.

CHORUS

Let justice rise... let judgment speak.
The throne is set... the books are weak.
The Lord of Spirits, crowned in flame,
Has heard the blood. He knows each name.

SPOKEN PROPHECY

"And in those days shall have ascended the prayer of the righteous,
And the blood of the righteous from the earth before the Lord of Spirits.
The Head of Days sat upon His throne...
And the books of the living were opened before Him...
And the hearts of the holy were filled with joy,
For their prayers were heard...
And the blood was required."

VERSE 2

I saw the fountain of righteousness flow —
Inexhaustible... glowing below.
And all who thirsted drank of light,
And wisdom clothed them, pure and white.

SPOKEN PROPHECY

"At that hour, the Son of Man was named...
Before the Lord of Spirits...
Before the sun and the signs...
Before the stars...
He shall be the light of the Gentiles,
The hope of those troubled in heart.
And in His name they are saved."

VERSE 3

But kings shall bow, and strong men fall.
No sword shall shield them from the call.
As straw in fire they'll turn to smoke,
As lead in waters, they shall choke.

FINAL CHORUS

He was named before time —
And now He reigns.
The righteous rise —
The wicked fade.
The fountain flows —
The veil is torn.
The Ancient speaks —
And time is born.

OUTRO – ENOCH'S FINAL WORDS

"And I will give them over into the hands of Mine elect...
As straw in the fire...
As lead in the water...
No trace shall be found."
