To Sand We Return Lyrics
Cowering man, a legion of no-ones call,
bet it all
Covenant kill, he points to the heavens, bare
with blank stares
Beckoning search in self for his answer
Reckoning, purge, the great fall, the cancer
Settlement comes in wages now he is
shattered, broke, and all alone
We’ve lost all our control
Our faces fall to the ground
We’re powerless to your voice
Surrender to the sound..
What’ll it take to prove our decision’s wrong
will we fall?
Alone in ourselves there nothing but chaos, fear
end it here
‘til we concede to drink from the endless
The desert we find ourselves in is hopeless
‘til we submit and let go the control
we will always be alone...
We’ve lost all our control
Our faces fall to the ground
We’re powerless to your voice
And No longer seeming so, shattered, broke and all alone
Who do I belong To?
Not Earth
Not world
Not Evil
Not mortals
Not wretches
Not horrors
Who do I belong to?
Unchanging
Unbreaking
Unfailing
Creator
Immortal
Eternal
Surrender to the sound.

The desert we find ourselves in is hopeless

We’re powerless to your voice

This song speaks of a broken man. It speaks of a man whose lost it all due to his sins, he has hit rock bottem. He tries to find the answer in himself, in his pride, but can't find it. He has no where else to turn but to God. So he stares at the heavens broken, empty with blank stares. His face falls to the ground in prostration, in prayer. He surrenders his life to Jesus, the sound of salvation. And screams his salvation, "Who do I belong to? Not earth, not world, not evil, not mortals, not wretches, not horrors. Who do I belong to? Unchaging, unbreaking, unfailing, creator, imortal, eternal." It is only until we're broken can we be restored.
I think this song is saying that in order to find/return to our solace, our safe havens, God. we need to listen to his "go to the desert" where we surrenderd to God in the first place(hence to the sand we return). Because with out his voice, his help, we are hopeless, filled with chaos. "We're powerless to your voice And No longer seeming so, shattered, broke and all alone"
side note, "Who do I belong to? Unchanging Unbreaking Unfailing Creator Immortal Eternal" never heard such a way to describe my God. Andrew Scwab is a genius.
Why have we ignored the first bit of lyric? its about a man who is completely broken and is finally look up to God, he is face down. It is beautiful, how we are so delicate in that state of brokeness, we become shattered, we have no other choice when we reach this state "we've lost all of control, our faces fall to the ground, we are powerless to your voice, surrender to the sound." Its amazing how powerful God is. AND THEN he surrenders and doesn't feel so shattered broke and all alone. I cried at the lyrics of...

I cried at the lyrics of "Who do I belong to?" it has such a secure feeling that we belong to such a powerful God, and that we do not belong to such evils. It is truely an amazing worship song. Why can't churches get with the times and worship this way?
He certainly has a way with words. You should have a read of some of the stuff on his personal site, theres some really good stuff on there.
Proper lyrics:
Cowering man, a legion of no-ones call, Bet it all. Covenant kill, he points to the heavens, Bare with blank stares.
Beckoning search in self for his answer, Reckoning, purge, the great fall, the cancer. Settlement comes in wages now he is, Shattered, broke, and all alone.
We’ve lost all our control, Our faces fall to the ground. We’re powerless to Your voice, Surrender to the sound.
What’ll it take to prove our decision’s wrong, That we fall? Alone in ourselves, there nothing but chaos, Fear, end it here.
‘Til we concede to drink from the endless, The desert we find ourselves in is hopeless. ‘Til we submit and let go the contol, Wwe will always be alone.
We’ve lost all our control, Our faces fall to the ground. We’re powerless to Your voice, Surrender to the sound.
We’ve lost all our control, Our faces fall to the ground. No longer seeming so, Shattered, broke, and all alone.
Who do I belong to? Not Earth, not world, not evil. Not mortals, not wretches, not horrors.
Who do I belong to? Unchanging, unbreaking, unfailing. Creator, Immortal, Eternal.
We’ve lost all our control, Our faces fall to the ground. We’re powerless to Your voice, Surrender to the sound. [x2]
Who do I belong to? Not Earth, not world, not evil. (Surrender to the sound) Not mortals, not wretches, not horrors. (Surrender to the sound)
must you do this for every song of Picket Fence Cartel. It's very annoying.
