Lyrics - Prophets Of Baal by Betrayal

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 arose450 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!"
