On The Edge

O' how I stood by you.

Sigh...

Still, my pathetic loyalty is to you.

You have stood by Israel.

You have surrounded yourself in good company -

people who are loyal.

You have done many good things for us.

I did not say that you were perfect.

... far from it.

Still, you were favored by God from the beginning.

Sigh...

Yet, I must now say,

that you are on the edge of loosing God's favor.

Betraying those who were loyal to us -

who were loyal to you -

who died with us,

is not what will bring you out of God's favor.

Still, should you betray your friends,

and leave them to the slaughter,

it leads me to ask who you would betray next.

O' the repercussions!

O' the consequences!

Should you leave your friends to die,

there will be consequences.

Just as king Saul was shone great favor by God,

he lost it when he consulted a median,

and he eventually fell,

as his reign came to an end.

O' my pathetic loyalty,

and yet should you betray your friends -

our friends,

the conquences will fall only on you.
