(Music: Just a deep bass drum kick and a lonely acoustic guitar riff)
I fell thirty feet on to mountain side
They checked for a pulse, said I was ready to go.
I’ve felt the cold steel bite
Been stabbed in the back in the dead of the night.
Took a needle of poison from a dying man’s vein
I’m a map of the scars, I’m a vessel of pain.
I’ve buried my father, I’ve buried my pride
I’ve watched the "dream" die while the good people lied.
(Chorus)
(Music: Swells—heavy, distorted electric guitar kicks in)
They say God only calls the pure and the white
But who holds the line in the middle of the night?
He don’t draft the choir, He don’t draft the fit
He recruits His best fighters from the bottom of the pit.
I was an Enemy, a Wreck, a Ghost, a Threat
But I’m the Wolf that Heaven ain’t finished with yet.
(Verse 2)
(Music: Bass groove picks up speed)
King David was a killer, he had blood on his hands
He broke every law in the holy lands.
And Paul was a hunter, breathing murder and threat
Until he got knocked down and caught in the net.
If the King was a sinner, and the Saint was a beast
Then maybe there’s room for the last and the least.
You want a sheep? Go find a fold.
You want a Sheepdog? You better find the bold.
(Bridge)
(Music: Stripped back—intense, whispering vocals)
The Pharisee stands tall and polish-clean
He doesn’t know the things that I have seen.
I don’t fight for glory, I don’t fight for fame
I fight 'cause I’ve got nothing left but a Name.
I fight for the daughter who carries my code
I’ll walk through the fire, I’ll carry the load.
I don’t deserve her, that much is true...
But I’d die a thousand deaths just to see her through.
(Guitar Solo)
(Screaming, wailing blues solo—representing the chaos and the crash)
(Chorus)
(Music: Full volume, anthemic)
Yeah, He don’t draft the choir, He don’t draft the fit
He recruits His best fighters from the bottom of the pit!
I was an Enemy, a Wreck, a Ghost, a Threat
But I’m the Wolf that Heaven ain’t finished with yet.
(Outro)
(Music: Fades back to just the bass drum kick)
So send me in...
I’m indestructible.
I’m desperate.
And I’m His.
(Final chord rings out and fades)
(Male)
