ESTHER – They Will Bow by Bro H

Verse 1 I climbed these steps with steady hands No favor owed, no plea The king put iron in my name And power bowed to me I learned the silence of the court The sound of men who wait The ones who live by written word And never question fate Verse 2 It wasn’t all their scattered seed That stirred this enmity in me But one man who would not bend his knee Defied my authority One name, one face, one quiet stand Unmoved by rank or fear Can rot the roots of order fast If left unbroken here Chorus They will bow They always do Gold or fear will make them choose Write the word and seal the ring What is spoken becomes the decree Verse 3 I cast the lot, I watched it fall It landed where it should The gods don’t lie, the numbers speak They tell me what is good The days are marked, the hour set The ink has found its place No man outruns what’s been decreed When fate has named his face Verse 4 I walk these halls and hear my name Echo off the stone They rise when I step into light I’ve never stood alone The higher that the ladder climbs The clearer truth appears The world is ruled by those who act Not those who hide in fear Chorus They will bow Or they will break Every law demands its stake Once the seal has touched the page All must bend beneath its weight Bridge (quiet, almost whispered) Funny thing about the lot I cast It never showed my name I read the signs, I trusted fate But never checked my aim (instrumental breath — long pause) Final Chorus (stripped, slower) They will bow… That’s what I know… The world has taught me how this goes… Outro The beam stands high against the sky The city sleeps below By morning light the proud will fall … At least that’s what I now know
