(Are you ready for some serious metal')

David made a covenant with Jonathan: promise of trust, the spilling of blood,
Slaughter the heifer, walk between two parts, off with my head if I break the oath.

Mephibosheth,
Blood covenant.

Jonathan died in battle, David ascend the throne,
Mephibosheth, a cripple - son of Jonathan lost,
Left behind as they fled,
Oath of death upon David's head.

Mephibosheth,
Blood covenant.

Search went out for Mephibosheth - caught, imprisoned, cursing, rebel,
Before King David's throne, thought that death was imminent,
David remembers the covenant oath: he'll show kindness to Jonathan's house,
Seen as now the son of the king; all that was Saul's would be now his.

You are Mephibosheth; David, symbolic of God,
You're resisting his throne, the blessing of the blood good covenant,
Christ died for you, you don't even know.

Mephibosheth,
Blood covenant.
