James my man, I really appreciate it and I think you´re spot on with pretty much all of the lyrics. But shit man I would feel bad lying to you. Now please consider the fact that English is not my native language but I really don´t hear ´to the herald of arms´, I hear something like ´to the him lord´, or ´to the hidden road´. Listen to it having that in mind? It's hard to dedudce it from the context, but next time he's coming to the netherlands i'm dragging him off the stage asking haha;)

@hans zimmer :) classic dude. Taylors singing is incredibly hard to decifer. 40% of it im never sure, im just winging it and hope he or someone will improve upon. I like how he cloaks the words, great artistry. Doubt he'll ever come to south africa, so yeah enjoy the show. Keep sane and safe my friend, salut

The herald of arms part was me adding my idea, you are closer to the real lyrics. There are many in this song in particular i am very unsure of.

The gem of the album! *-* awe-inspiring.
Could anyone type the lyrics? Please? O: )

Hey there Michael, come and take my soul
I leave my bones to the halo
I leave my mind to the night
Such a little thing, but full of light
Devotion, devotion, devotion

Hey now Elijah, don't you know me?
Though gone too long, come back easy
Yeah, I was gone for a fool's age
A peaceful man so full of rage
Devotion, devotion, devotion
Devotion, devotion, devotion

Oh what a world, a beggar's way
Tax man comes, he takes all my wages
And oh my child, how you've grown
And I'm still walking the far fields home
Devotion, devotion, devotion
Devotion, devotion, devotion

Soulful artist! Brilliant!

Perfect

Great!

Chilling....

Is this Christian music? Don't care if it is, sounds like there's an underlying message. Great song!

Not exactly, its grass roots or something, however mc taylor fears the Lord

no. it is not christian music.

First to comment on this awesome song, I feel privileged :)
