Dan Bull - The God Father lyrics

Quick, come in, and hold your shoulders up
We're in for a winter
Cold enough to split skin cause
Your fingers to splinter
Flick the flint to the tinder
And then the tinder to timber
If we don't protect the cinder
Then the wind'll extinguish the glimmer
The only glint of hope we
Hold growing dimmer and dimmer
And so we bring it close enough
To cling to it and shiver
You're an innocent kid
But old enough to know this
You're growing up so quick
I didn't even notice
And look at you - a future king
A truly bеauteous thing took you under mine
But now it's timе for you to use your wings
My finest student's tutoring is
Due to finish soon
And then it's lunar, moving with the moon
A new beginning looms
There is a luminance in you
No human can eclipse
So is it stupid to assume you'll fill
My shoe then if it fit's?
Like a glove, my love for you's so huge
I better get a grip
Feel the music as it hit's
Build the tune up, let it rip

Whatever feats I have achieved
Whatever deeds I've done
Will never leave a legacy
Compared to thee, my son

Eventually, even chilly winter will
Give in to spring
Into summer rise and fall before revisiting
What is a king to a god but kindling?
And what's a god to a son for
Whom his father would do anything?
What godly gifts I'm given
Hardly makes a difference
I'm hardwired with this fatherly disposition
It's my mission
To provide the kind of love that
Does not come with condition
My son, whatever sin's committed, trust
It's forgiven listen, you and I are riffing
To a different rhythm
Rune rifted rock will outexist
Any scriptures written
See, even if I'm gone
You'll have your father by your side
Keeping your heart strong, from afar
Look on with pride
Provide a reason to go on
And take the hardship in your stride
However far you want to ride
I'll be right behind
And though you might not need your father
Your father needs his son
And so I will march farther 'till
The final deed is done

Whatever feats I have achieved
Whatever deeds I've done
Will never leave a legacy
Compared to thee, my son

Good god
I've always thought myself a bad god
But perhaps I'm a good dad
I've got the dad bod
Before my lad, I was sad
Savaged by the black dog
Just trying to ignore it
Gnawing at me like a Hamhock
No matter what path I trod
It followed the tracks I dropped
But now I've found what I lacked
I lost the last of what was
Pulling me down, it's just my son and me now
And that's your lot and if I have to
I'll follow him down to Ragnarok
Whatever feats I have achieved
Whatever deeds I've done
Will never leave a legacy
Compared to thee, my son
Together we will weather each
And every grief to come
For though I leave a legacy
I'll never leave my son

Whatever feats I have achieved
Whatever deeds I've done
Will never leave a legacy
Compared to thee, my son
