[Movement I] The king forgot peace but remembered dread, Tell me the dream, or the wise will be dead. No school of magic could open the night, Blessed be the God who removes and appoints, [Movement II] So four exiles knelt till the secret saw light. Gold over silver, bronze over iron, Feet mixed with clay made the giant unstable. Deep things are visible where his wisdom points.

The stone grew mountain where empires had stood, A kingdom no conquest can finally remove. [Bridge] Daniel saved lives by refusing the praise, The revealer of mysteries governs the days. [Coda] Blessed be the God who removes and appoints, Deep things are visible where his wisdom points. Daniel saved lives by refusing the praise, The revealer of mysteries governs the days.
