The Tishbite (New Messenger) Lyrics

Centuries have passed us by

Hunger, pain beneath the sky

Swords and wars fought in His name

Shadows consume the world in flame

Black birds bring me bread alone

An angel speaks when I'm on my own

Black birds bring me bread alone

An angel speaks when I'm on my own

False god crafted by our hands

Blind eyes cannot understand

Feet don't walk, hands have no life

Idols falling from their heights

False god crafted by our hands

Blind eyes cannot understand

Feet don't walk, hands have no life

Idols falling from their heights

In the silence, hear the breeze

Gentle voice brings me to my knees

Fire descends upon the altar

Miracle to shake and alter

Black birds come to fly above

Signs that few will notice of

False gods crumble to the ground

Empty promises abound

Mouths are mute, nothing to say

Yet we follow anyway

False gods crumble to the ground

Empty promises abound

Mouths are mute, nothing to say

Yet we follow anyway

False gods crumble to the ground

Empty promises abound

Mouths are mute, nothing to say

Yet we follow anyway

Why do we chase empty thrones?

Rise up from these cold stones

A new voice walks among the streets

But few can sense the heart that beats

The new messenger has come

He dwelt among us, yet undone

Few eyes will see his way

Few hearts will feel the sway

False god crafted by our hands

Blind eyes cannot understand

Feet don't walk, hands have no life

Idols falling from their heights

False gods crumble to the ground

Empty promises abound

Mouths are mute, nothing to say

Yet we follow anyway

False god crafted by our hands

Blind eyes cannot understand

Feet don't walk, hands have no life

Idols falling from their heights

False gods crumble to the ground

Empty promises abound

Mouths are mute, nothing to say

Yet we follow anyway.
