Track 13. ESAU - "The Birthright Lost"

**Verse 1:** ...From Rebekah's plan, I lost my place, I sold my birthright in disgrace, For just a bowl of red, red stew, I gave away what I was due **Verse 2:** I was the firstborn, strong and wild, A hunter, not a quiet child, My father loved my savory game, But I despised my sacred name **Chorus:** I am the one who lost it all, For momentary pleasure's call, The birthright, blessing, slipped away, I weep for what I lost that day **Verse 3:** When Jacob stole my father's word, The rage inside me burned and stirred, I vowed to kill him when I could, But time would soften where I stood **Bridge:** I married wives that grieved my kin, I walked away from discipline, I chose the world, I chose my way, And lost my blessing on that day **Final Verse:** Years later, I forgave my brother's deed, But I had lost the promised seed, Now Jacob carries on the line, While I fade out of sacred time...
