jason schweizer – shulamite’s room lyrics

Loading...

what if death was a door?
would i open it more often?
the veil between, though very dark, is very thin

what if peace was in rest?
would i assemble my coffin?
and go sailing through the moonlight round the bend

could a hand reach out to me?
and lead me through the dark?
for my life has faded all into a dream
and crawling long, i grope
as forgiveness calls out “hope!”
as the graves of ancients lift their voice to sing

for the blood of jesus christ
tastes like the sweetest wine
and so much more when i am pressed unto my end

the wailing at the walls
all my castles fall
and wash away in waves for they were not but sand

for i built my heart like jericho
to guard my precious things
and i plastered all my walls
with some form of flattery

my sanctimony and complacency
became my king and queen
and alas, my trees are robbed of fruit
and stripped bare of every leaf

what is left but satin beds?
to wrap me in the red
to hide me in the womb
that i might rest a sweetest rest
could not mercy marry truth
and save me from myself?
for the pursuit of my own heaven
has but left me in my h+ll

pour the wine
break the bread
the oil running down his head
this is for his burial
this is for his death

spill the blood
tear the flesh
the alabaster breaks again
this is for my burial
this is for my death

david, my king, my sword and my sun
bathsheba, my vessel, my moon
child of wisdom, beloved of both
stands at the shulamite’s room

knocking
knocking
open the door
