Lance Of Longinus

(album: Father Shadow - 2020)

Time, it seems to run slow
But here it doesn't run at all
The light, the dark
The day and night
I understood it all
Caught between the tick and tock
That's where we end up
When we fall

But I was not allowed to rest
There was a grander plan
Forged by the creatures of the clouds

You still have a part to play

Spear of destiny, feel my pain
When the day murders the night
In this change of heart

Enter Royalgatory
This is where you live out your life
And the Seraphim they rejoiced
As much as they feared

All shall love me
All shall fear me
And all shall exist because of me

Spear of destiny, feel my pain
When the day murders the night
In this change of heart
Spear of destiny, here I'll remain
And carry the weight of this world
With my heart in chains

Naked, I stood before them all
And I felt my wings grow
Oh, how this wounded their pride deeply
And I heard all the angels sing
In golden armor and silk I moved
Towards the heavenly throne
King of Angels and all of heaven
I'm the heart of the world

Spear of destiny, feel my pain
When the day murders the night
In this change of heart
Spear of destiny, here I'll remain
And carry the weight of this world
With my heart in chains
