Eagle Feather Falcon Claw

[[---- Eagle Feather, Falcon Claw ----]]


{ PART 1 }

I was once a god
A feared and honored king
but now I'm living here
With the beasts and creeping things

I'm getting tired of
waking up with dew on my back
Weeds and grass for lunch
How I long for my royal pastry snacks


{ PART 2 }

before my hair grew wild
before I lived alone
I remember how it started
just resting in my home

stretched out across
the softest purple sheets
staring long at the horizon
the gardens glistened green

the day was long
my mind was at peace
I was overcome with sleep
and fell into a wicked dream


{ PART 3 }

"Asalluhi, Asalluhi!
Asiptu, Asiptu! Wasipu!"
"Bradasede Endo!"

call my witch doctors
and call my priests
listen closely,
tell me what this means
i am tormented by my dreams
tell me, just tell me please

Look! Behold! A mighty tree
climbing up through the clouds!
All the earth, sees it's glory!

It's leaves, it's fruit,
satisfying all the hungry crowds.
All the people, see it's glory!

The Watcher, from heaven,
descends to earth and
cries commands aloud.
Stip it's branches,
cut it down!

but leave, it's roots,
send it from the halls
of the great and proud.
Show it how, it got it's crown!


{ PART 4 }

Listen...
Oh my king, I hope you listen this time.
I hope you listen this time.
I hope you really, really, really listen this time.
I really REALLY REALLY
really really really really
hope that you listen this time!

Repent or live the terrors of your dream
You'll be cut down just like that mighty tree
You'll go insane so you may better see
Without Him, you are nothing


{ PART 5 }

my hair is as long
as eagle's feathers
and my nails are like
falcon's claws
I guess I was never God,
never God, never God
I'm crawling around
like an animal
Rolling in the morning dew
I was never God
I was never great like You

I LIFT MY EYES TO HEAVEN!!!


[[---- Curtains ----]]

the culmination of time
taking it's place at the return
The Lord will descend from the sky
with our faithless plans he is unconcerned

instead of a reed in his hands
He'll brandish a scepter of power
instead of a criminal's death
He'll reign in our final earthly hours
