Betrayal

Betrayal - Prophets Of Baal lyrics

rate me

Abandonment of Lord

Performing spiritual adultery

Forsaking God their Deliverer

Prostituting themselves to Baal

Sent to end this apostasy

The last prophet enters the story

Standing in the power of God

Sends words exclaiming, "Elijah is here!"

The challenge is given to the king

To summon the prophet of Baal

And the people of Israel upon mount Carmel

To settle who is God, Lord or Baal

Elijah instructs, "prepare two bulls

Cut into pieces and place on an altar

You can call your god, I'll call the Lord

And the one who answers by fire, he is God"

Calling and babbling, ancient chanting arose

450 prophets of Baal danced around

The altar all day with no response

"Shout louder!" Elijah taunted

"Oh yeah Baal is god, Ha! Ha! Right

Maybe he's off somewhere travelling

Or taking a little nap, just maybe!"

The prophets of Baal shouted louder

Slashing themselves, letting the blood flow

Continuing frantic prophesying till the eve

With no response, no answer, no fire

Elijah smirked, "drench my altar

With water just for fun"

Then he prayed, "Lord let it be known

That You're the God of Israel"

The fire of the Lord fell

Consuming everything and burning the altar

The people fell face first and cried

"The Lord is God! The Lord is God!"

The Elijah commands, "seize the prophets of Baal

Don't let them get away

Slaughter them according to God

For you've seen the Lord's authority today!"
