From Faith, Song 5 of 6

Kings

Inspired by the rise and fall of Saul and the introduction of kingship. The song begins with a relatable desire: Order, leadership, security.

What starts as hope slowly shifts into control. The critical point is not the rise but the unnoticed change that follows. Lines begin to blur. Decisions get justified. And something emerges that was never intended. The song is not an accusation, but an observation: Power does not only change those who hold it, it also changes those who accept it. “Kings rising, kings falling” reflects a cycle that continues beyond individuals.

Lyrics

We were tired
Of the noise
Wanted order
Wanted voice
Someone steady
Someone strong
Someone who would
Lead us on

It felt right
It felt clear

Kings rising
Kings falling
Kings rising
Kings falling

He stood taller
Than the rest
Spoke of safety
Spoke of strength
Hands were lifted
Voices loud
We believed him
In the crowd

It felt strong
It felt safe

Kings rising
Kings falling
Kings rising
Kings falling

Lines got thinner
Rules would bend
Small decisions
Justified
No one questioned
No one spoke
Something shifting
Out of sight

Still it feels
Like control

Kings rising
Kings falling
Kings rising
Kings falling

Hold the power
Hold it tight
Cross the line
Call it right

Don’t let go

Kings rising
Kings falling
Kings rising
Kings falling
Kings rising
Out of fear
Kings falling
Out of power

Kings
Fall
