David and the Gate - Phinehas

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
