King Flyght - Lately Lyrics

Lately I've found myself staring up at the stars
Pondering this life and its meaning, you know searching for who I are
Trying to figure out how I wandered so far from home
That I don't even know where home is
I've been in captivity for over 400 years; you would think I'd be used to this,
But I'm not. On the contrary, I'm actually tired.
Of my captors lying and my people steadily dying.
So I fell down to my knees and sincerely cried
Out to my God, to know that was the day David died.
To be born again by the Spirit to see things unseen by the naked eye
Naked I lie exposed all my sins are what weighed me down.
I see now just how filthy in reality I was
I was dead to you, had no clue of the extent of your love
Thats why
Lately
I've been feeling like all my idols led me astray.
Lately
I've been feeling like the leaders weren't paving the way.
Lately
I've been feeling like all of this was all a trap. Over-blessing I would share
Why you have do my people like that? Huh?
Why do you have to be so evil? Why couldn't you treat me like an equal?
Why couldn't you love me as yourself? Everything could have been so peaceful.
But instead, as it is written, "Babylon falls."
And I ain't afraid of the beast with the fatal wound he does the will of God
In the book of Revelations The great prostitute is condemned by God
But God send the Beast with the fatal wound who is also condemned
To carry out the execution on the great prostitute
Imagine that
Lately have you noticed all this wickedness among our own people?
I mean the way we hate and kill one another; I was starting to believe it was legal.
It's not. On the contrary, it's actually against the law;
It's lawlessness goes against everything the Messiah taught.
See, he showed me that the covenant God with Israel was always love.
And that his people had lost faith in the one enthroned up above.
So when he came down from heaven and dwelled among his own people,
Instead of accepting his testimony, they killed him because these people were evil.
That's deep. Deeper than the potholes in local streets.
Deeper than worrying about what I'm going to eat.
Or wear. Life is more than these things.
Despite it all, I lift my voice and sing. All praises, you Father!
All the glory, all the power, it all belongs to you Father!
That's why
Lately
I've been feeling like all my idols led me astray.
Lately
I've been feeling like the leaders weren't paving the way.
Lately
I've been feeling like all of this was all a trap. Over-blessing I would share
Why you have do my people like that? Huh?
Why do you have to be so evil? Why couldn't you treat me like an equal?
Why couldn't you love me as yourself? Everything could have been so peaceful.
But instead, as it is written, "Babylon falls."
And I ain't afraid of the beast with the fatal wound he does the will of God
See Even though Beast with the fatal wound carries out the Lord vengeance on Babylon
The Beast is then in tern under Gods vengeance and the rider on the white horse is the one who defeats him
Revlation 19:19
Then I saw the Beast and the Kings of the earth and their armies
Gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and His army
But the Beast was captured and with him the false prophet who performed signs on his behalf
With these signs he deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image
The two of them were thrown alive into the firey lake of burning sulfur
The rest were killed by the sword of the rider on the white horse and the birds gorged themselves on their flesh
