Ashes of Defeat Lyrics

I can still feel the oil flow off of me

As Samuel stood with pride and made me king

I can still feel the slingshot

Hear Goliath when he fell

I know it all to well

I know it all to well

Looking back I see my mistakes

The battle called but I stayed home that day

One glance

one look

That was all it took

I lost it all I've lost it all

Can you tell me how a man can go

From dancing in the street

To sitting in ashes of defeat

I'm crying lord

I can't stand this road

Any longer

Please take me back to a time

When I was stronger

I remember your call

I knew your spirit

When you spoke lord I could hear it

Now I can't hear anything

There's something tween you and me

I'm sitting in ashes of defeat

I've been right where David sat

Knowing what I lost and wondering how to get it back

I remember every battle

I know how victory felt

I know it all too well

I know it all too well

Looking back I see my mistakes

One by one I let it fade away

One glance one look

That was all it took

I lost it all I've lost it all

Can you tell me how a man can go

From dancing in the street

To sitting in ashes of defeat

I'm crying lord

I can't stand this road

Any longer

Please take me back to a time

When I was stronger

I remember your call

I knew your spirit

When you spoke lord I could hear it

Now I can't hear anything

There's something tween you and me

I'm sitting in ashes of defeat

I'm tired of the ashes of defeat

Lord I'm tired of these ashes of defeat
