Verse
For forty days, and for forty nights
I did what I could to keep you by my side
But the offering was lacking, according to you
I never meant to start a way
My words fall flat, then they hit the floor
And now I’m left to tear down your golden idol
I missed the target, I know it’s true
Bleeding out to try and appease you
My trigger finger wavered, but I didn’t
I can confess: I fell apart
My tears could not move your pharaoh’s heart
Petrified just for some twisted pleasure
Chorus
My birthright is gone, you stole it away
Prayed that it would mend you, forgive and replace
The burning bush spoke, but you’ve still been unkind
There is a balance, and vengeance is mine
Verse
Curse the red sea, ignore the plagues
Guess we’re not all destined to be saved
Even the serpent said you shouldn’t trust him
Cross my fingers and hope to live
There is nothing else that I can give
I’m praying there’s a ram meant for that altar
My dear Cain, what have you done?
Oh the earth cries out for this blood
The life you took was not yours for the taking
Angels wrestle and slingshots fly
Some kings fall on their own swords and die
I know I’m not too holy but I’m trying
Chorus
My birthright is gone, you stole it away
Prayed that it would mend you, forgive and replace
The burning bush spoke, but you’ve still been unkind
There is a balance, and vengeance is mine
David did lust, Joseph, he dreamed
Moses was a killer, and Rahab deceived
Shadrach and Meschach and Abednego
They weathered the fire, survived the inferno
Yael did behead, Delilah betray
Jonah flee Nineveh, and Abram obeyed
Elijah was raptured, and Sarah she lied
Job was made low, and Micah, he prophesied
Jacob might have offered, but Esau chose to take
God promised to Noah, He would never forsake
Eve may have craved, but it was man who did eat
I’m not my first pick, but I’m in good company
