Sleeping Giant, Levi The Poet - Violence lyrics
[Sleeping Giant, Levi The Poet - Violence lyrics]
The kingdom suffers the kingdom suffers but
I must still remain when
The kingdom's suffering Violence
The Kingdom suffers i must still remain
I've only run halfway feels like
Less than half my strength
Remains but there's just one
Place I'll make my
Grave it's in you and When
The Kingdom Suffers i
Must still remain when the
Kingdoms suffering Violence
A goblin told me that God was metaphorical
Well, metaphorically
When I come to the end of myself he's got
A lot of the same questions as me
Said he's drowning beneath
An ocean of dogma and liturgy
And the waves keep pulling
Him further out to sea
While whatever the water
Uncovered underneath
Washes up, exposed on the beach
Said, "the father, who knows all secrets
Reveals them all eventually" there is truth
It is stuck inside my head
It confuses everything I do
Once upon a time I knew
That it all belonged to you
But it all got misconstrued
The day my brother up and abandoned us
For his philosophical musings
Well how amusing
And why don't you sing over me?
No really, why don't you sing over me?
Didn't you used to sing over me?
Is my brother gone because he never believed
Or if he did is he a
Son that you'll continue to keep?
And if I see so much of myself in him
What does that say about your grip on me?
Did you let him go, or did he leave?
Or did he stop seeking salvation
With fear and trembling?
Will I see my friends again in eternity?
How deeply can we grieve the spirit
Before the spirit's work will cease?
Oh, all my family, I'm afraid
Wind-driven and tossed
Like the waves of the sea
I'm not faithless, but I'm faltering
And I need you to pray for me
The kingdom suffers and I've not run halfway
And less than half of my faith remains
But, you can't deny yourself
Then there's still just one place
That I'll make my grave
I hear the savior say
"Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness watch and pray
Find in me thine all in all
I have not abandoned your heart, "
I have not abandoned your heart
This has been the devil's winter
Frost bitten and frozen in time
As though the days are but a whisper
But shrill enough to constantly remind me:
The past is not forgotten
And my wounds are not yet healed
Yet when the sutures set and seal my heart
Even then the scars cannot be concealed
You have revealed yourself in weakness
Clothed yourself in poverty
The Emerald City holds so much of my soul
But, it's needles always find me wanting
My body groans with the rest of creation
And you intercede for me
Chosen before the earth's foundations
So we will stand ground expectantly
And I find my hope in the eager anticipation
Of what going home will bring
The kingdom suffers, and I've not run halfway
And less than half of my faith remains
But, if you can't deny yourself then there's
Still just one place that I'll make my grave
I have not abandoned your heart
I will not abandon your heart
I must still remain when
The kingdom's suffering Violence
The Kingdom suffers i must still remain
I've only run halfway feels like
Less than half my strength
Remains but there's just one
Place I'll make my
Grave it's in you and When
The Kingdom Suffers i
Must still remain when the
Kingdoms suffering Violence
