lyrics

In my thirtieth year I was washed up and dry
So I made my way down to the river to cry
I watched my tears swim off down the stream
Carved my initials into the trunk of a tree
Then I dreamed with my eyes wide open and my shaking knees

I saw a great legion of wheels with eyes
And four faced creatures were hanging in the sky
I fell with my face to the ground, terrified
O for His Glory that I saw in the sky
Then He speaks
"Stand on your feet son and listen to me..."

"I am the LORD, the holy one"

In the great Babylonian assembly
My three friends wouldn't bow the knee
They said if God didn't save them they'd prefer to die
Than bow to the fantasies of any mans mind
Wood on the fire!
They threw in my friends to watch them burn and die

The king stood up choking on his champagne
There were four men walking in the middle of the flames
My three friends walked out unhurt
They were burned once before and now there's nothing left to burn
The king bowed and prayed
And slowly his kingdom was burned away
