"David And The Gate" lyrics
Make ready for war
To breathe in the ashes of misery
Prepare the gallows
In fear, death finds its finality
You are not defined by failures
A heart of truth is forged from the struggle to overcome
Pick up your weary head and look to your Maker’s eyes
There is more to life than living afraid to die
Death is not what scares me, it’s the apathy of being alive
We’re rising above the sadness of this world
Light of our Maker’s eyes
We’re meant for more than empty breathing
Shatter the silence, we’re screaming Adonai
Take up your banner, dig their graves
Steadfast and waiting for death to show its face
Open the gates, Open the gates
Lest you be food for the fire
You are not defined by failures
A heart of truth is forged from the struggle to overcome
Pick up your weary head and look to your Maker’s eyes
There is more to life than living afraid to die
Death is not what scares me, it’s the apathy of being alive
Make ready for war
Prepare the gallows
To breathe in the ashes of misery
In fear, death finds its finality
When death shows its face
I swear I won’t be a coward’s feet
These backward attempts
Drive me further into the ground
Would you break my ribs
Cut the veins from my pride
Pull the chains and watch what was rooted fall
Light of our Maker’s eyes
We’re screaming Adonai
To breathe in the ashes of misery
Prepare the gallows
In fear, death finds its finality
You are not defined by failures
A heart of truth is forged from the struggle to overcome
Pick up your weary head and look to your Maker’s eyes
There is more to life than living afraid to die
Death is not what scares me, it’s the apathy of being alive
We’re rising above the sadness of this world
Light of our Maker’s eyes
We’re meant for more than empty breathing
Shatter the silence, we’re screaming Adonai
Take up your banner, dig their graves
Steadfast and waiting for death to show its face
Open the gates, Open the gates
Lest you be food for the fire
You are not defined by failures
A heart of truth is forged from the struggle to overcome
Pick up your weary head and look to your Maker’s eyes
There is more to life than living afraid to die
Death is not what scares me, it’s the apathy of being alive
Make ready for war
Prepare the gallows
To breathe in the ashes of misery
In fear, death finds its finality
When death shows its face
I swear I won’t be a coward’s feet
These backward attempts
Drive me further into the ground
Would you break my ribs
Cut the veins from my pride
Pull the chains and watch what was rooted fall
Light of our Maker’s eyes
We’re screaming Adonai
