Kingdom Forge - Tempered - Forsake Yourself

Forsake Yourself is a track about surrendering. Not trying to overcome your adversities yourself, but through the help of your Lord. The intro and Outro are sung in Latin and is translated in English to: Intro Lord Lord Give life Carry the cross Follow Outro Carry the cross Follow Lose life Find life This attempts to convey the message by own losing your own life, will you gain your life Genre: Melodic Death Metal Lyrics: Kyrie Kyrie Vita dona Crucem porta Sequere Dust on my hands Blood in the lines of my palm I built a throne of my plans Now I lay it down I lay it down Every desire Burns like a coal in my chest You call me out of the fire Into Your death Into Your rest Forsake yourself Take up His cross Lose your life Count all the cost Follow the road Where His footsteps fall Forsake yourself And you will gain it all Crowds on the road Selling a kingdom of ease You only offer a yoke And a heart that finally breathes If I keep my soul Clutched in a terrified fist I walk away from the One Who was pierced Who calls “Come after Me” Forsake yourself Take up His cross Lose your life Count all the cost Follow the road Where His footsteps fall Forsake yourself And you will gain it all If I rise Let it be in Your sacrifice If I live Let it be in Your grace Let this proud Stubborn heart be the offering Laid on the wood of Your arms Forsake yourself Take up His cross Lose your life Count all the cost Follow the road Where His footsteps fall Forsake yourself And you will gain it all Crucem porta Sequere Vitam perdit Vitam invenit
