Track 10 off of From Shadow To Substance's debut self-titled concept album. Grace and peace...
Lyrics:
I, Shiloh, come
With my wine-filled eyes
Teeth milky white
Devouring all lies
Bodies all around
Blood misting the air
I alone have now become
The earth’s rightful heir
The nations come and bow down
Casting crowns, they do pray
With outstretched rod of iron I smash
Crushing diadems of clay
You wanted me to tarry
But justice must be true
I, the Holy One, have come
To drive this sword thru you
I wanted to forgive what you did to me
It’s the thing that makes me true
I, Shiloh, came with love
And died on that cross for you
What wretches they are
With their diadems of clay
Drag themselves along
Emperors for a day
I set you up for glory
Set you on my thrones
But you spilled blood from the seat
With swords you sharpened and honed
Galloping on through the blood
Up to the bridle, filling caves
Believed the lie instead of me
Drank the poison that he gave
They got their fill of flesh and
Now they rot with it too
They ignored the only grace
Deliverance from you
I know you like what you did to me
Turned my creation from me to you
But, I Shiloh, have now come
To break, crush and devour you
I know you like what you’ve done to me
The only thing that makes you true
I, the Living One, have come
To drive this sword through you
As sure as heaven over earth has won
Nothing can stop what I’ve begun
As sure as heaven over earth has won
Nothing can stop what has become
Nothing can stop what I’ve becomemore
