Lyrics

Verse 1 I met Goliath on a day that I did not foresee I’m not a soldier, never expected to be But he shouts at my kin, and mocks them as he turns his back It’s not so much glory as honor that drives me to act Verse 2 The youngest of seven, no one ever was looking at me Except the Almighty staring right through my chest cavity The prophet man said God looked in my heart and saw a king But I know my heart well, and I never quite like what I see Chorus And a crown is the last thing I ever thought would grace my brow I didn’t want it back then and I’m not sure I want it now I’ve got no need to follow, to follow the footsteps of kings I just wanna tend pastures and kill giants with pebbles and slings. Verse 3 Beauty on rooftops leads swift to the den of dead The lust of my flesh numbs my heart numbs my soul numbs my head The darkness is dancing I can feel his ear-to-ear grin I’m sick and I’m twisted, against God alone have I sinned Chorus And a crown is the last thing I ever thought would grace my brow I didn’t want it back then and I’m not sure I want it now I’ve got no need to follow, to follow the footsteps of kings I just wanna tend pastures and kill giants with pebbles and slings End I slew Goliath twenty years ago to the day I can still hear his heartbeat just slowly slipping away He was a monster, that much was easy to see But it takes one to kill one, so what does that make me?...
