My Epic - Lower Still lyrics
[My Epic - Lower Still lyrics]
Look, he's covered in dirt
The blood of his mother has
Mixed with the Earth and she's just a child
Who's throbbing in pain
From the terror of birth by
The light of a cave
Now they've laid that small baby
Where creatures come eat
Like a meal for the swine who
Have no clue that he
Is still holding together the
World that they see
They don't know just how low he has to go
Lower still look now he's kneeling he's
Washin' their feet
Though they're all filthy fishermen
Traitors and theives
Now he's pouring his heart out
And they're fallin' asleep
But he has to go lower still
There is greater love to show
Hands to the plow further down now
Blood must flow
All these steps are personal
All his shame is ransom
Oh do you see, do you see just how low
He has come do you see it now?
No one takes from him
What he freely gives away
Beat in his face tear the skin off his back
Lower still, lower still
Strip off his clothes
Make him crawl through the streets
Lower still, lower still hang him like meat
On a criminal's tree
Lower still, lower still
Bury his corpse in the Earth
Like a seed, like a seed, like a seed
Lower still, lower still
Lower still, lower still
The Earth explodes she cannot hold him!
And all therein is placed beneath Him
And death it'self no longer reigns
It cannot keep the ones he
Gave himself to save
And as the universe shatters
The darkness disolves
He alone will be honored
We will bathe in his splendor
As all heads bow lower still
All heads bow lower still
The blood of his mother has
Mixed with the Earth and she's just a child
Who's throbbing in pain
From the terror of birth by
The light of a cave
Now they've laid that small baby
Where creatures come eat
Like a meal for the swine who
Have no clue that he
Is still holding together the
World that they see
They don't know just how low he has to go
Lower still look now he's kneeling he's
Washin' their feet
Though they're all filthy fishermen
Traitors and theives
Now he's pouring his heart out
And they're fallin' asleep
But he has to go lower still
There is greater love to show
Hands to the plow further down now
Blood must flow
All these steps are personal
All his shame is ransom
Oh do you see, do you see just how low
He has come do you see it now?
No one takes from him
What he freely gives away
Beat in his face tear the skin off his back
Lower still, lower still
Strip off his clothes
Make him crawl through the streets
Lower still, lower still hang him like meat
On a criminal's tree
Lower still, lower still
Bury his corpse in the Earth
Like a seed, like a seed, like a seed
Lower still, lower still
Lower still, lower still
The Earth explodes she cannot hold him!
And all therein is placed beneath Him
And death it'self no longer reigns
It cannot keep the ones he
Gave himself to save
And as the universe shatters
The darkness disolves
He alone will be honored
We will bathe in his splendor
As all heads bow lower still
All heads bow lower still
