Lyrics Commissioned By Kings - Oh, Sleeper

Commissioned By Kings

Give me your eyes so I can see through fire
Give me your strength so I can stand so strong…
Now we walk on leathered skin to freedom
The tempest roars but I am fearless
With each step I crack and stretch and each breath is a sting to my chest
Oh God, will this push bring purity, will this push bring purity, or…
Bring out the dead!
Bring out the dead!
Bring out what you will have bow down, and they will bow down
«They're climbing, they’re climbing through soil and earth.»
They have my scent!
«but you can stop them, I’m sure…»
Yes, I can best even the devil himself.
«…but your pride has just made it
worse.»
What writhing spite is unearthing here?
Why choose from prodigals a band of cowards
To hoist your banner of love for the world to the slaughter?
«It's just a crack, the smallest of flaws and your legs have now failed you to
crawl
You’re, from the dirt, insurgent to warning, from lion to nothing at all
Look and see, you’re feeble and weak for your body fights only your heart
Call to me and unleash the strength, your soul will begin to roar.»
Give me your eyes so I can see through fire
Give me your strength so I can stand so strong…
I breathe in your light and like fire my colors now light
Though outnumbered by lines, we’ll stay and fight
When we reach the gates all you’ll hear us say is
«Bring out the dead!
Bring out the dead!»
Bring out what you will have bow down and they will bow down
