Son Of The Morning Lyrics - Oh, Sleeper

I am the rival, I am the one who speaks in whisper 

Hear me now, dear, weak forgiver 

Hear me now, weak forgiver, hear me now 

Don't send an angel to face the devil 

You're wasting power on grace 

A maggot will always seek to feed from the grave 

Where I'll lead them and teach them to feast on the skin 

That defeats them, the skin they crave 

If you could see like me 

You'd see you haven't won anything 

If you could see like me 

You'd see it's by my grace you're breathing 

If you could see like me 

You'd see you haven't won anything 

If you could see like me 

You'd see 

Every night I start my rise 

Climbing high into the morning sky 

But soon after I lose your bride 

And I damn your son for stealing my light 

This world is mine 

They call me the son of the morning 

They call me the son of the morning 

I can mound all your fallen past 

The clouds as they roll in 

And when I do I will claim your throne 

Through all these cowards you call your sons 

I am the Lord of air 

And my dawn will last forever 

Go on pouring out 

'Cause in the end I will have them 

If you could see like me 

You'd see you haven't won anything 

If you could see like me 

You'd see it's by my grace you're breathing 

If you could see like me 

You'd see you haven't won anything 

If you could see like me 

You'd see your precious light is fading 

Your light is fading
