Why
Why
Why
Why
Why did I follow you?
And why did I listen to you?
(Why, O Why
O why, O Why)
Why did I trust in you?
(In my pain)
Why did I go to you?
(Well I've been changed)
You can, you can,
You can try
But I've got some news for you
(I've got news;
I'm through with you)
Listen, now I'm done with you
I'm sick of your game
I don't want to play
My time with you is done
So just go away
I've got news for you
(This is long past due)
And punk, I'm done with you
(Devil, I am through)
I am sick of your game
I don't wanna play
My time with you is done
So just go away
I am not your slave
I've got the key to your chains
By the *Blood I was saved
So, devil, no more games
That's right, I'm done with your game
I'm not going to play
I have felt your pain
And Jesus is the way
Sin, you've had your fun
But now I'm free
And this is done
(If you were smart
Then you would run)
I've got the key
God sent his Son
You came after me
Now I'm coming after you
You took over like a ****
But, see, now my heart is new
You're still chasing after me
I do not belong to you
I am done with your games
I'm not going to play
I'm not following you
I know Jesus is the way
You came after me
Now I'm coming after you
And today now you will see
What I'm gonna do to you
I'll expose your lies
And I'll cut your ties
I will spread the Truth
And you will be despised
Light will burn your ships
And it will melt your chains
Oh, you made me sick
But I am not the same
I am done with your game
I have found the way
(Now whatch'you gotta say,
devil, whatch'you gotta say?)
You came after me
Now I'm coming after you
You should run, now, when you see
What I'm gonna do to you
I'll expose your lies
(Yeah, I'm coming back at you)
I will cut your ties
(I am gonna scream the truth)
I have played your game
And you had me asking why
But I am free of your chains
And your turn has come to cry
You came after me
(Now I've been set free)
Now I finally see
(Soon the world will see)
It's time for you to flee
(You've no power over me)
'Cause only God has victory
I said only God has victory
(and soon the world will see)
That only He has victory
Every tongue and every knee
One day all the world will see
That only *God has victory
You've no power over me
Only God has victory
So, devil, listen to me
I've been freed from your chains
See, only God has victory
So, devil,
*No. More. Games.

*from my Ignite collection, being poem #3. Please see the collection page itself. P.S. I made a mistake in the order when I originally posted this. This was written the day before "Alive", and so should come first.
I wrote this one with some musical intention, but finished it in a form that didn't fully work for a song. I tried later refining it more into a working song form, i.e. with a fluid, consistent verse/chorus format, and while there are some ideas I like, I haven't got far in making progress on the true song version of this one, and have had trouble sorting it all out in a way that I like that feels natural and works.
The imagery of an army's ships being burned while docked on enemy shores was still fresh in my mind from reading Homer's The Illiad the previous year in Language Arts.
