Betrayal - Prophets Of Baal Lyrics
Abandonment of LordPerforming spiritual adulteryForsaking God their DelivererProstituting themselves to BaalSent to end this apostasyThe last prophet enters the storyStanding in the power of GodSends words exclaiming, "Elijah is here!"The challenge is given to the kingTo summon the prophet of BaalAnd the people of Israel upon mount CarmelTo settle who is God, Lord or BaalElijah instructs, "prepare two bullsCut into pieces and place on an altarYou can call your god, I'll call the LordAnd the one who answers by fire, he is God"Calling and babbling, ancient chanting arose450 prophets of Baal danced aroundThe altar all day with no response"Shout louder!" Elijah taunted"Oh yeah Baal is god, Ha! Ha! RightMaybe he's off somewhere travellingOr taking a little nap, just maybe!"The prophets of Baal shouted louderSlashing themselves, letting the blood flowContinuing frantic prophesying till the eveWith no response, no answer, no fireElijah smirked, "drench my altarWith water just for fun"Then he prayed, "Lord let it be knownThat You're the God of Israel"The fire of the Lord fellConsuming everything and burning the altarThe people fell face first and cried"The Lord is God! The Lord is God!"The Elijah commands, "seize the prophets of BaalDon't let them get awaySlaughter them according to GodFor you've seen the Lord's authority today!"
