No Treaty With the Lie

[Intro]
(Oh oh oh)
(Mmm)

[Verse 1]
Sky turned bronze
No rain for years now
He stepped from Gilead and cut the fear
As the Lord lives
The king heard him say
Your idols of stone will stand alone

[Chorus]
Righteousness is fire that won’t bow down
It’s one man facing a crooked crown
On Carmel’s mountain the altar drowned
Then the Lord answered
Then the Lord answered
And the truth was found

[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Found in the fire
Oh
Truth was found

[Verse 2]
Prophets of Baal
Danced until they bled
Four hundred fifty found their god was frail
Elijah soaked the wood
Three times he poured
Then prayed a short prayer as it grew hotter

[Chorus]
Righteousness is fire that won’t bow down
It’s one man facing a crooked crown
On Carmel’s mountain the altar drowned
Then the Lord answered
Then the Lord answered
And the truth was found

[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Found in the fire
Oh
Truth was found

[Bridge]
Fire fell
Licked the stones
The people fell
The Lord is just
No treaty with a lie
No peace with the false
Righteousness never halts
The voice never halts

[Chorus]
Righteousness is fire that won’t bow down
It’s one man facing a crooked crown
On Carmel’s mountain the altar drowned
Then the Lord answered
Then the Lord answered
And the truth was found

[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Found in the fire
Oh
Truth was found
