JOSHUA - Buried Beneath the Tent by Bro H

Verse 1 — The Taking I saw it shining in the ash, Gold and cloth from a fallen wall, What was sworn to Yahweh’s hand I told myself He wouldn’t call. No eyes on me, no voice from heaven, Just a fold, a weight, a gleam, I hid it deep beneath the tent, And buried more than I had seen. Chorus — The Cost One hand closed, one secret kept, One sin drawn the whole camp through, The ground we gained now turned and wept, And Ai knew what we could not do. I thought the loss would pass unseen, But the silence started to accuse, What I buried beneath the tent Was the breath we stood to lose. Verse 2 — The Defeat Men went up and men came back, Broken ranks, a shattered cry, Not by strength, not by the blade— We fell because of what was mine. The elders tore their robes in fear, Joshua fell before the ground, I stood still among the tribes, While guilt kept making sound. Bridge — The Exposure Lot by lot the circle closed, Tribe to house, to man, to me, No place left for earth to hide What Yahweh’s light had come to see. I spoke the truth too late to save, Silver, gold, the garment shown, The things I took were laid bare now, And I stood there alone. Final Chorus — The Judgment One hand closed, one secret kept, One sin drawn the whole camp through, The breath we lost, the blood we wept, Was the price of what I knew. I took what bore the curse of war, I crossed the line I never should, The ban I broke came back for me, And sealed my name in stone and blood. Outro — Silence The stones fell hard, The valley learned, What one man hides Can make a nation burn.
