He’s Coming After You

DARK ORCHESTRAL Intro

CHORUS (whispering):

He is after you...

He is after you...

Through the darkness, through the night,

He is coming—hide from sight!

TENOR:

I hear his footsteps in the distance,

Growing closer with each breath.

Every shadow holds a warning,

Every silence whispers death.

I have run across the valley,

I have crossed the midnight rain,

But wherever I may wander,

He will find me once again!

CHORUS:

He is after you!

He is after you!

Run from the night!

Hide from his sight!

He is after you!

SOPRANO:

Do not fear the darkness,

Do not let it steal your soul.

There is still a flame within you—

Let that fire take control!

TENOR:

But where can I run?

SOPRANO:

Run toward the light!

TENOR:

And if the darkness follows?

SOPRANO:

Then stand and fight!

ORCHESTRA SWELLS

TENOR:

I have faced a thousand shadows,

I have known the bitter pain.

I have fallen to my knees,

Yet I have risen once again.

If he comes to claim my courage,

If he comes to make me crawl,

I will stand beneath the heavens—

I will never fall!

THE SHADOW (BASS):

You cannot escape me!

I have followed every road!

I have waited in the silence!

I have carried every load!

You may run until you're breathless,

You may hide beneath the stars—

But wherever you may wander,

I will find you where you are!

TENOR:

Then come forth from the darkness!

Show your face to me!

THE SHADOW:

I am the fear inside your heart!

TENOR:

Then fear shall not conquer me!

CHORUS:

Face him!

Face him!

Do not flee!

Break the chains!

Set yourself free!

FULL ORCHESTRA — CLIMAX

SOPRANO:

Rise from the darkness!

TENOR:

I will rise!

CHORUS:

Rise!

TENOR:

Though the night may chase me,

Though the darkness calls my name,

I will walk into the morning,

And I will not fear again!

ALL:

He may follow!

He may threaten!

He may hunt us through the night!

But the soul that chooses courage

Will forever find the light!

CHORUS:

He is after you!

TENOR:

Let him come!

SOPRANO:

Let him come!

ALL:

We will not run anymore!

FINAL, TRIUMPHANT CHORD

TENOR:

He was after me...

SOPRANO:

But now you see...

ALL:

The shadow was never stronger

Than the light inside of me!

CHORUS (softly):

He is after you...

ALL (fortissimo):

BUT HE SHALL NEVER CONQUER YOU!
