J. Sylvan - Obedience

{SAMUEL}
God spoke to me late last night
Much to my dismay
He cares not for sacrifice
If you won't obey

He provided many last
Chances long since gone
Your kingship will soon be passed
Your throne is withdrawn

It's fading, fading
From your view
Earth's awaiting
Something new

{SAUL}
You coerced me from my farm
Forced me to the throne
Clamped this circlet 'round my arm
Made me rule alone

Who gave you the prophet's staff
When the shrine was felled?
Are you speaking on behalf
Of God, or yoursеlf?

{SAMUEL}
It's fading
Fading
From your hands
God's creating
(?...)

For two decades, you wеre hailed
I stood by too long
Time and time again, you failed
I prayed I was wrong

God now, in his wonder, he
Disavows your rule
You were like a son to me
Lord, was I a fool?

It's fading, fading
From your view
Earth's awaiting
Something new
Something new

{SAUL}
Samuel, please
I'll endure the Lord's rejection
Just, stay with me
I'm (?...) against perception
The people stare
They will seize this to deride me
But, I can bear
Them if you remain beside me

{SAMUEL, (SAUL)}
It's too late (Fine, get out)
Too late (And take your God)
I must go (I'm sick of you both)

(Your clumsy...)
You chose (...Divination's)
Your fate (A facade)
Long ago (So much for God's (?...) on me)

Fading (Wait, don't go)
Fading (I know I've sinned)

(I can...)
From your hand (...Make it right)
(Just one more chance)
God's creating (And (?...) to begin)
(?...) (Just stay for tonight)

(You've done your...)
It's fading ( (?...) )
(You've broken me)
Fading
(Won't deny a thing)
From your view (Now (?...) )
(All my hopes) Earth's
Awaiting
Something new
(Listen to your king)
