Shinbones Man - Shining Swordsman

By Gavin Davies 11 August 2023

Gothic electronic 80s style song for my kids

I’m very mortal, can’t be sure how much time I have.

It feels so urgent to give my children something to look to that’s greater than me and there is nothing and no-one greater than Jesus Christ.

And no, I don’t think I can sing! It just felt important to say what I had to say.

Lyrics:

Shining swordsman
Wretched hero
Knee deep in blood upon the seashore
Shining statesman
Breaks his promise
Knee deep in lies before his masters

Fleshly father
Loving arms hold
Falling flat, my flesh is always failing
Frail protector
Tries to guide you
My Mortal hourglass is almost empty

Don’t trust in princes or in me
They will let you down
Where can you look to oh dear one?
Behold the ancient throne

He’s born of Mary
One with the Father
God with us and He’s the only answer
The good shepherd
Who gave His life up
Suffered and died under Pilate

Truest teacher
Eternal healer
High priest is ever living listening
The mighty warrior
Lion of Judah
Riding clouds to come crush all this evil

Don’t trust in princes or in me
They will let you down
Where can you look to oh dear one?
Behold the ancient throne
The only true and perfect King
Will never let you down
Where can you look to, my dear one?
Behold the ancient throne
