ESAU EDOM – Red in My Hands by Bro H

Verse 1 I came out red, hands full of dirt, The field was mine, the hunt, the blood, While he stayed home with quiet eyes And listened close to words of God. I ran on hunger, lived by force, I took what pleased me when I could, And when the oath stood in my way I sold it cheap — and called it good. Pre-Chorus What good’s a promise when I’m starving? What good’s a future I can’t taste? I chose the now, I chose the fire, And cursed the slower path of faith. Chorus I hate my brother — He stole my name, He took the blessing I despised, Now I burn inside the flame. I hate my brother — His God, His law, If I can’t wear the crown of heaven I’ll pull the whole house down. Verse 2 I took the daughters of the land, I mixed my seed with what I saw, I’d rather rule with open hands Than bow beneath an unseen law. They call me profane, they call me lost, But I call weakness holy lies, I’ll build my throne in clefts of stone And laugh while Jacob’s kingdom cries. Chorus I hate my brother — His quiet trust, He waits on God, I make my way, I grind the future into dust. I hate my brother — His sacred ground, When Zion falls I’ll shout it loud: “Rase it — burn it — to the ground!” Bridge (slow, ominous) I remember the day he ran ahead, I remember the stolen breath, I swore an oath inside my chest: One day… I’ll take his life. Final Chorus I hate my brother — Yet wear his face, I sit in seats that aren’t my own And preach with stolen grace. I hate my brother — But need his name, So I corrupt what I can’t claim And call my envy faith. Outro I was Esau… Now they call me Edom. And my red will never wash away
