Gift or Curse by Paul Marz Lyrics
Formed from the dust of the earth, given sight
Spawned from the most high but ain't living right
Separate land from the sea. Dark from light
Commander in chief who speaks the breath of life
Prince of peace visited me inside of a dream
Told me strange things, lookin at me angrily
But that was after my encounter with supernatural powers
Which gave me insight to see beyond hours
Past time, past space, comets, meteor showers
There's a place where celestial warriors tend to encounter
One another, fighting for balance
Wrestling over the Chalice with blood inside of the cup
Spilling on the floor of the palace
In a city made of gold on top of a floating island
Rotations of the atoms make them appear as they were solid
A wise man and a fool, an idiot and a scholar
Notice all of the above fallin slave to the dollar
Which ones worse?
The love or the hurt?
What's the gift whats the curse?
Is it death, is it birth?
I said which ones worse?
The earth or the hearse
What's the gift whats the curse?
Is it death, is it birth?
Which ones worse?
The love or the hurt?
What's the gift whats the curse?
Is it death, is it birth?
I said which ones worse?
The earth or the hearse
What's the gift whats the curse?
Is it death, is it birth?
Why do the humble die young but the scum survive?
Bad apple outta the batch, surrounded by flies
Warned by Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah
I ain't even gonna say it, I don't even wanna try it
Let me stop it, please, save it, I won't even explain it
But I'm Shadrach walking out the fire while its blazing
Unscathed, unshaken, not a blemish still made it
Or Daniel in the lions den staring at their faces
Surviving over night, in the hands of the ancient
Omniscient, omnipresent, ever patient
I ask for forgiveness, mistakes I been making
Need to hear the same thing Nathan said to King David
When Sam jotted the statement, read it in the pages
Of the scrolls hidden in caves near the beach by the waves
Dead Sea full of graves, sunken ships, full of slaves
Litter the earth never seen again, forever remain
Which ones worse?
The love or the hurt?
What's the gift whats the curse?
Is it death, is it birth?
I said which ones worse?
The earth or the hearse
What's the gift whats the curse?
Is it death, is it birth?
Which ones worse?
The love or the hurt?
What's the gift whats the curse?
Is it death, is it birth?
I said which ones worse?
The earth or the hearse
What's the gift whats the curse?
Is it death, is it birth?
Spawned from the most high but ain't living right
Separate land from the sea. Dark from light
Commander in chief who speaks the breath of life
Prince of peace visited me inside of a dream
Told me strange things, lookin at me angrily
But that was after my encounter with supernatural powers
