When the Tears Ran Dry — David & Ziklag | Epic Symphonic Rock | SIXFOLD MERCY

WHEN THE TEARS RAN DRY — SIXFOLD MERCY “When the tears ran dry, You were still my strength.” An epic Christian symphonic rock song inspired by 1 Samuel 30:1–20. David returns to Ziklag to find his home burned and his family taken captive. His men weep until they have no strength left. Surrounded by grief and anger, David finds strength in the Lord, seeks His guidance and sets out to bring his people home. A powerful story of faith, loss, courage and restoration — told through soaring female vocals, gritty male vocals, fierce cello and violin, explosive guitars and cinematic orchestration. 📖 “But David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.” — 1 Samuel 30:6 (KJV) 🎵 LYRICS [Intro — Mathias: cello | Liora: violin] [Verse 1 — Eliad] We came home on the third day's road To smoke where all our doorways stood The streets were black, the walls were gone And no one came to welcome us I called for those I'd left behind But only ash replied to me And men who'd stood through every war Fell to the ground beside my feet [Pre-Chorus — Noa] We cried until our voices broke Until the air itself went still Then grief became a dangerous thing And every eye was turned on me [Chorus — Noa & Eliad] When the tears ran dry And the sky was dark with smoke I had no strength to lift my head No words left in my throat But there among the ashes I remembered Who You are When the tears ran dry You were still my strength [Instrumental — guitar and violin] [Verse 2 — Liora] I felt the night take hold of us As they led us through the dust I kept the sound of home inside When everything was torn from us And if you're searching through the ruins With a heart too hurt to pray The God who kept us through the darkness Hasn't turned His face away [Violin response — Liora] [Pre-Chorus 2 — Eliad, Liora & Noa] [Eliad] I've got no answers for their pain [Liora] But you're not walking on your own [Eliad] I'll take my questions to the Lord [Noa] And trust Him with the road back home [Chorus — Noa & Eliad] When the tears ran dry And the sky was dark with smoke I had no strength to lift my head No words left in my throat But there among the ashes I remembered Who You are When the tears ran dry You were still my strength [Instrumental duel — cello & violin] [Bridge] [Eliad] Should I go after those who took them? Will I bring our loved ones home? [Liora] Even when you can't see morning You don't have to walk alone [Noa] The answer came: "Pursue them now You'll bring them safely home" [Eliad] I rose with nothing but His promise And found the strength to go [Electric guitar solo — Eliad] [Final Chorus — Noa, Eliad & Liora] [Noa] When the tears ran dry And the sky was dark with smoke I had no strength to lift my head No words left in my throat But You led us through the wilderness And brought our loved ones home When the tears ran dry You were still my strength [Liora] Not one was lost Not one was left behind [Eliad] I'd feared I'd never hear their voices But You brought them home alive [Noa] When the tears ran dry You were still my strength You were still my strength! [Finale — cello, violin & full band] 💙 A NOTE FROM SIXFOLD MERCY Some losses leave us without words.
