Benjamin Blower - I'm Ready To Climb The Mountain And Die текст песни

Walking out east of Eden with a mark upon my head
If anybody tries to kill me
damn sure they'll be dead
Seven times over
And I don't know why the LORD will avenge my life
But I'm ready to climb the mountain and die

Born into the river Nile - saved by a princess
The blood of slaves runs through these veins
a crown on both my heads
And I'm crying because I feel I've been a traitor to my own
So I'm ready to take my crown off and fight

Revolution in my bones - blood on both my hands
Running from my masters house for killing an evil man
I got bad dreams I can't believe he's never going to breathe again
So I'm going to become a shepherd and start again

Looking out for the wife and kids and chasing after sheep
Jesus calls out from the bush and says
"My people are weeping under enslavement
Crushed like a thousand million coke cans into the pavement
So I'll tell that city to set my people free

Standing in front of the president and all his politicians
Folks have been writing letters to these for years and years about all kinds of issues
You need a sign?
You'd better let my people go this time
I'm here because the LORD is by my side

Watch these rivers turn to red
The sun blocked right out
Watch all of your firstborn die
And the military buried alive in the Red Sea
And I'll cry for you - stubborn as a mule
And I'm ready to take my people and leave

Bury me LORD because I'm tired out

Everybody's hanging off me
Breaking up fights all day and all night
Choices coming up faster than I can choose which way is right
Its always something
I don't know why I keep on trying to try
And I'm ready to climb the mountain and die

Sitting around thinking way more thoughts than a man can think
Seen so many people I begin to wonder if they all exist
And my heads so full of everything
I feel like a walking television
And I'm ready to pull the plug out and sigh

Ran the race pretty dang hard
but perfect I am not
Lost myself a million times
Grit my teeth and smashed the rock
Looking over the promised land - You hold me by the hand
And I know you're going to do whatever's right

I don't care about anything now
I've got nothing to lose anymore
I've got nobody in heaven by You
and the world has nothing I want
So screw it all
I count it all a loss to be found by Your side
And I'm ready to climb the mountain and die

Bury me LORD because I'm tired out

Weeping in the garden with blood on His face
Praying: "By this time tomorrow I know I'll be dead, for three days"
Then He crushed the snake
"Not My will but Yours" He said
"And I'm ready to climb the mountain and die
