Abstract

e myriad; I dwell among my enemies: My foes who crave my blood.</p><p id="8102">Awake, my glory! Awake, lute and harp! And I will awaken the dawn.</p><p id="283a">They dig a pit and set a net, A trap before my feet. They pray that I would trip and fall; They pray for my defeat.</p><p id="6df8">They set a snare, and then they plunge Into their own pitfall. My heart is steadfast, O my God; Beside You I stand tall.</p><p id="b277">Awake, my glory! Awake, lute and harp! And I will awaken the dawn.</p><p id="a53f">Oh God, rebuke my enemy Who would devour me. Send forth Your mercy and Your truth. Oh do You hear my plea?</p><p id="f32e">Your mercy spans heaven and earth; Your glory covers all; I will exalt and worship You; You catch me when I fall.</p><p id="b7b3">Awake, my glory!

The Shadow

I have to know Where this thing goes, So I’m leading the way The Shadow in tow.

These things I’ve seen Recurrent dreams, The first few times You want to scream.

Onwards I stride While I decide, What to say If I survive.

But be aware We’ll disappear, If the Shadow Smells our fear.

The Shadow’s coming I must keep running, He wants to stop What I’m becoming.

I’m close to knowing Where this is going, The shadow steers And I keep rowing.
