Chords of a Man - One Smaller Cross

He shouts insultingly
At the wall that guards him by night
While a dreadful fear in your ear would turn
Your perilous plight

You served a desperate plea
Baked in love and steeped in despair
What I gained I lost in one smaller cross
I couldn't bear

You came to disarm all the rage in my heart
And right from the start I knew I was wrong

My God delivered me
From the paw of lions and bears
But the savage beasts proved to be the least
Of tests He’d prepare

My shepherd’s bag of stones and a sling
Defeated a dare
But my gain I lost in one smaller cross
I couldn't bear

His folly was clear as the blood on my hands
Coursing my veins, writhing in pain
From what I'd become

A sleeping infantry with a spear
Were caught unaware
But I spared their king and vanished with his things
Like a flea through the air

My shouts assailed his camp
With a force the mighty declare
But I failed to see how careless I can be
Till you showed you care
And my gain I lost in one smaller cross
I couldn't bear
