lyrics

Oh zealot

You called forth for revival
But your arrogance brought division [1]
The spirit of the prophets 
Is subject to the prophets [2]

The will is not eclipsed
Tie a rein around your tongue
Passion can shine as a light 
Unbound by hysteria

Our dreams rest hollow [3]
Our steps run aberrant

Your spite tore down the body
But the head tore down the veil [4]
Don’t let your ecstatic gestures
be the obstacle that they can't bear [5]
Call forth that revival
And spur them on to greatness
Don't let your zeal be the cornerstone of stumbling [6]

You deceive the hungry 
And make them think that the bread has worms
You scare the lambs
And make them run from the shepherd's voice
You revile your brothers
And ridicule them as if they disdain God
You are a good man [7]
But compose yourself for the sake of the church

Maybe God was speaking through you
But your tone was out of pitch
"Don't despise the prophecies” [8]
But it shouldn't have led to this
