Sovereign Soul
Intro]
God opens doors
No man can shut
[Verse]
Sovereignty was never in doubt
It was freedom that was frozen
The issue was never who I was
But the paths that I had chosen.
Choice builds an indelible record
Using consequence as a guide
Coherence was never out of reach
It was always standing at my side
[Chorus]
You can perform
And remain frozen
You can believe
And not be chosen
The field tests individual parts
Not blood lines, or prejudiced hearts
It's testing surrender
Not fashion
Alignment
Not passion
You can claim to be sovereign
Make believe you're a king
But when the fault line opens
You'll lose everything
[Interlude]
[Verse]
A crown can shield a person
From consequence and pain
But in an entangled relationship
How can distance be a gain?
Creation won't negotiate with chaos
It's Sovereign at the core
Violence can win some battles
But it can never win the war.
[Chorus]
You can perform
And remain frozen
You can believe
And still not be chosen
The field tests
Individual parts
Not blood lines,
Or prejudiced hearts
It's testing surrender
Not fashion
Alignment
Not passion
You can claim to be sovereign
Make believe you're a king
But when the fault line opens
You'll lose everything
[Verse]
Walls were built for safety
Gates were built to last
But every future generation
Is less experienced than the past
If violence was victorious
Ignorance would rule supreme
But why would a supreme intelligence
Ever contemplate that dream?
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
You can perform
And remain frozen
You can believe
And still not be chosen
The field tests Individual parts
Not blood lines,
or prejudiced hearts
It's testing surrender
Not fashion
Alignment
Not passion
You can claim to be sovereign
Make believe you're a king
But when the fault line opens
You'll lose everything
[Outro]
God closes doors
No man can open
