Run David, Run

[Intro]
Whispers in the dark…
Steel breathes tonight…
[Verse]
Anointed by fire, oil on my skin
From pasture to war, the chosen within
A hero returns, the people cry out
But a king hears truth as treason and doubt

Jealous eyes, a poisoned crown
Spear hits the wall, thundersound
Once I fought for his name and throne
Now I walk this road alone
[Pre Chorus]
Every promise carved in pain
I won’t answer hate with the same
[Chorus]
(RUN DAVID, RUN) — THROUGH THE NIGHT
BETRAYED BY THE THRONE YOU SAVED
(RUN DAVID, RUN) — HOLD THE LINE
FAITH IS THE BLADE YOU RAISE
HUNTED SON, STILL UNBROKEN
GOD’S WORD BURNS — NEVER SPOKEN
(RUN DAVID, RUN) — DON’T LOOK BACK
[Verse]
Caves of shadows, cold and bare
Outcasts gather, souls stripped bare
Broken men with nothing to lose
Forged in fear, baptized in truth

I had the king within my reach
Steel at his throat, silence preached
I spared the life that hunted mine
Judgment waits — not my design
[Pre Chorus]
Power rots, conscience bleeds
I kneel where vengeance feeds
[Chorus]
(RUN DAVID, RUN) — INTO THE FIRE
CROWN AHEAD BUT BLOOD BEHIND
(RUN DAVID, RUN) — NEVER SURRENDER
THE CALL OF GOD IS UNDENIED
[Bridge]
Not by my hand…
Not by my rage…
Kings will fall
By God’s decree
[build-up]
Truth cuts deeper than the sword
Time with answers every word

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
(RUN DAVID, RUN) — THE FIRST WILL FALL
MADNESS DIES, DESTINY CALLS
(RUN DAVID, RUN) — THROUGH THE PAIN
FROM SHEPHERD’S FIELD TO KING AGAIN
[Outro]
I ran from the throne…
So I wouldn’t lose my soul.
RUN!
