The Madness of King Saul

[Verse] I’m the crown I’m the throne I’m the chosen I’m the king But the shadows in my mind keep whispering the same thing David That boy That harp That sling He sings my praise but plots my sting Eyes like daggers His smile too wide His songs lift me up but I’m burning inside Did you hear the crowds Their chant Their call “Saul’s thousands David’s ten thousand fall” [Prechorus] The voices grow louder They never cease Am I a king or a puppet on a leash [Chorus] Madness creeping Crawling in my veins King Saul slipping Drowning in the rains Who’s the hero Who’s the foe In my court I don’t even know [Verse 2] I gave him armor I gave him a place Now he’s stealing my glory My grace My space His harp strings twist like a noose 'round my head Every note a whisper saying I’m better off dead I toss my spear But he dances He sways A snake in my palace Weaving through the maze Samuel’s words They echo They mock The Lord has left me My time’s on the clock
