The Trials of a King

Dusty streets blood runs cold

Battlecries echo tonight

Fighting for a crown so old

Past and future locked in fight

David stands with sword raised high

The weight of sin and grace combined

Torn between earth and sky

Peace and chaos intertwine

What"s the price for kingship gained?

Blood and tears in every grain

Echoes of a battle’s strain

Legacy carved in pain

Prophets speak of glory days

Splendor wrapped in dark array

Destiny in disarray

History"s just a haze

Psalms written in the dark

Words that soothe and words that bite

Heart of a lion leaves its mark

Ever seeking heaven"s light

What"s the price for kingship gained?

Blood and tears in every grain

Echoes of a battle’s strain

Legacy carved in pain
