Lyrics
Until It Wasn’t
[Verse 1]
The door clicks shut behind me
The hall holds its breath
Eighteen years pressed
Into one walk to the throne
The fat king sweats in his rings
On a chair gone too small for the weight
And I am the silence
Just before the next word
[Chorus]
I have a message from God for you
Carried in the dark on the wrong side
What you called weakness, he called a sword
The wrong hand carries the word
[Verse 2]
Two edges, a cubit long
Sleeping on the wrong-side thigh
[Whispered] "A secret for the king"
And he waves his men into the night
"A word from a higher throne"
He rose to receive
He rose to receive
He rose
[Chorus]
I have a message from God for you
Carried in the dark on the wrong side
What you called weakness, he called a sword
The wrong hand carries the word
[Bridge]
Eighteen years of carrying their silver
Eighteen years of empty wells
A boy with a wrong-side hand
Sharpening slow in the dark
The cry going up like smoke
The cry going up unanswered
Until it wasn't
Until it wasn't
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I have a message from God for you
Carried in the dark on the wrong side
What you called weakness, he called a sword
The wrong hand carries the word
[Outro]
The doors lock behind me
The horn on the mountain
The river running red
Fourscore years of quiet
On a hand the world refused
On a hand the world refused
