Lyrics
I Was The Sword
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The first morning
The first time
You realize
You've laid it to rest yourself
That God died in you
And I couldn't save you
Even then
Lord come into my life
These scars that never heal
And the clarity
That allows you to feel
Like the dead
Enveloped
Like the dead
I wanted to change
As if being
Discarded were that easy
And the nights ended up being that empty
It's so much more free
You were led by no one here
This place is warm
And the change is definite
And I've been stripped down
Time and time again
And left for the gray, and the cold
Your voice changes pitch
And blurs
Like a storm carries a ship
You couldn't save me
Even then
And I should have known that
