Heels Of Lions

from Labor Pains by sinai vessel

/

lyrics

i saw my name written in,
deep within the well as i drank from it.
(and dug within your palms) as You offered this,
i felt You gaze at me.
but with quickened step,
my feet spoke faster than the sentence
that clawed at my heels
more than sentiment; i knew that You looked at me
but not that intently.

You sang,
"listen, listen!
can't you hear creation groaning?
the heels of lions are moaning for movement
and everything is shaking that could be shaken.
and I only ask, o God! do I plead
that you would abide and remain in me
oh, 'cause I, I am jealous for your safety."

"when I saw you, it was like walking through the street
just crowds of endless grief
through the walls past which I could see
through the windows obsolete
'cause I saw every tear, every sigh
every wasted minute by
every inch of my father's design
every second of life denied."

"and oh, child, if I could,
I'd throw myself before your tracks
but I've already done that, I've already done that.
so that maybe you would stop, o God! would you see...
but now my blood is drying on the soles of your feet."

"so come back, come back, retreat, come back..."
