Verse 1  Another day, the lobby is crowded in a faceless world

         They pass right by me, they cannot see

         There’s no one listening, it’s all about me

         He calls His people, yet they turn away

         His time has come - we’re standing still

         A blinding flash strikes from the skies

         The hidden demons dance in delight

         I’m feeling such emotion I cannot block out their cries

 

Chorus   Oh the Elevator’s Gone, no more trips to the sky

         Without Jesus there’s no free ride,

         So now we cry, there no one home?

         Elevator’s Gone

 

Verse 2  Visions burning deep inside of me

         Humanity, torn among divisions; their false beliefs

         The seal’s been broken; hear the thunderous voice

         I see the Lamb of God and drop to my knees

         Caught up in a Holy war foretold by His prophecies

 

         Repeat Chorus

         

Middle 8 The eagle flies, there’s nowhere to hide

         We carry the burden for those who died

         His way is salvation, you should not decline

         The time is coming for the judgment of Christ

 

         Instrumental 

 

Verse 3  Do not fear, God is our refuge and strength within 

         Our enemies, they’re scattered for our foundation’s held

         Hear His call, the battle call to unite

         An ashen horse will bring the wrath of light

         To trample out the wicked beneath their cover of darkness

 

Chorus   Oh the Elevator’s Gone, no more trips to the sky

         Without Jesus there’s no free ride,

         Yes now we cry, don’t stand-alone

         The Elevator Gone
