Song Meaning of “King O King” by Wovenhand
In the song ‘King O King’ by Wovenhand, singer/songwriter David Eugene Edwards uses lyrics and melody to tell a story of a divine struggle between good and evil. The story begins with a cry of desperation for a Savior, acknowledging that mankind has been misled and the need for redemption from many years of oppression and injustice.
The chorus bring hope in these dark times, singing “King O’ King, fight for me!” — a call for the King of Kings to come and save them from the darkness and suffering they have endured. This is followed up with a reminder that we all have a choice to make: to serve the King of Kings or remain in the darkness.
The next verses recall the sad reality of a life riddled with temptations and selfish desires. Edwards calls out the deceitful words of those who would try to control or enslave us: “they will try the way of lies, unless you see them for their schemes, and never bow to their decrees.”
The chorus then bridges the bridge from suffering to redemption with the words: “King O’ King, bring the light, here me now bring the light.” This is a call to the King of Kings for deliverance and rebirth into a new life of freedom and joy.
King O’ King is an empowering song of hope and redemption. It’s a reminder that no matter how dark things may appear to be, we have a choice to make and redemption is possible if we seek it. It’s a song of empowerment to all of us to take a stand and fight for a better future.
