Tell Me Prophet

Octuneber day 17, a silt verses song for Brother Faulkner. WARNING: Spoilers for TSV season 2 finale lay ahead. Lyrics: Brother did you walk through hell Did you drown and rise to tell? Prophet are your marks engraved Your verses there upon the page? Brother did they cry your name, When in triumph home you came? Prophet was it as you thought, To rightly be the voice of god? Tell me brother did you weep, To let your siblings die? Prophet was it writ that you Should fail at all you try? Brother, did your sister save You, risen from the grave The water’s lonesome daughter Who now has turned away Brother did you rise again The Rivers’s fury now made flesh Prophet did you hatch a plan The faithful safe within your hands But as it always threatens too The story gets away from you And you acted as you must And won it back through blow and blood Tell me brother will the water Now wash clean your hands? Prophet will your faithful just Forgive and understand No, If you’re to be the savior, Someone must be writ the traitor Prophet, did the river Turn your hand against your sister? Brother did you walk through hell Did you drown and rise to tell? Prophet are your marks engraved Your verses there upon the page? Brother when you’re down beneath Will we know your melody? Prophet when your work is done Will your song and verse be sung? Prophet when your work is done Will your song and verse be sung?
