THE BLOODY CITY

EZEKIEL
THE BLOODY CITY

[INTRO — RAP]

Son of man, see the town / blood runs dark through the stone [6/6]
God said, name all her crimes / bring each charge to the throne [6/6]
Watchmen slept by the wall / wolves picked flesh from the bone [6/6]
Glory rose from the house / doom made all blood debts known [6/6]

[VERSE]

Princes shed blood for gain / each made prey of the weak [6/6]
Men took bribes for a death / courts made murder look sleek [6/6]
False hands signed off the kill / truth got priced by the week [6/6]
God heard blood from the street / red soaked stone as it speaks [6/6]

Widows got stripped by law / orphans got sold for bread [6/6]
Work paid less than the cost / rich men grew fat on bread [6/6]
Rent ate all of the wage / kids slept four to one bed [6/6]
God marked each stolen room / black scales hung overhead [6/6]

Fathers profaned their homes / lust crossed blood with no shame [6/6]
Men used women for sport / porn made flesh just a frame [6/6]
Priests kept quiet for rank / courts kept wiping each name [6/6]
God saw rooms with no light / flames will answer the shame [6/6]

Idols stood in the court / priests sold God for a fee [6/6]
Holy got mixed with filth / truth got bent for the key [6/6]
Sabbaths got bought and sold / wealth wrote new liturgy [6/6]
God said, you profaned Me / now I will make you see [6/6]

Prophets smeared walls with white / cracks stayed deep in the clay [6/6]
Storm clouds gathered behind / lies kept saying, delay [6/6]
Peace, peace, peace filled the square / swords drew close by the day [6/6]
God blew hard on the wall / whitewash ran off in grey [6/6]

Now wolves preach from the stage / brands keep shame off the screen [6/6]
Donors buy pulpit seats / cash makes tyrants look clean [6/6]
Wounds get sent from the room / leaders guard what they built [6/6]
God sees rot in the suit / silk cannot hide the guilt [6/6]

States sell bombs as defence / red horse feeds on the lie [6/6]
News makes war look like sport / kids watch bright drones in sky [6/6]
Chiefs shake hands by the graves / flags wave high as they die [6/6]
Christ counts blood in the dust / red horse rides till skies cry [6/6]

Then God led me through bones / dry bones filled all the vale [6/6]
Son of man, speak My word / breath will tear through the pale [6/6]
Bone joined bone at the sound / flesh grew firm in the gale [6/6]
God can raise what looks dead / Christ will make graves exhale [6/6]

False shepherds fed on flock / Christ came seeking the sheep [6/6]
Wolves ran wild through the fold / Christ stood guard while they sleep [6/6]
Blood ran down from the Cross / grace cut guilt clean and deep [6/6]
Stone sealed lungs in the dark / dawn made dead flesh now leap [6/6]

Christ rose scarred from the grave / death lost keys to the King [6/6]
Hades shook at His step / tombs learned what life can bring [6/6]
Spirit breathes through the slain / dry bones rise as they sing [6/6]
Son of Man rules the clouds / saints rise when trumpets ring [6/6]

Red horse storms through the streets / black horse weighs out the grain [6/6]
Pale horse follows their trail / graves drink war, want and plague [6/6]
Four winds strain at the earth / seals break open in flame [6/6]
Lamb stands bright by the throne / all beasts bow to His Name [6/6]

Books lie wide at the throne / blood speaks clear from the ground [6/6]
Wolves lose robes in hot flame / crowns drop hard at the sound [6/6]
City built up by blood / Babylon hits the ground [6/6]
Christ rides white through the clouds / true King comes robed and crowned [6/6]

Some map seals on a chart / none can chart their last breath [6/6]
Pre, mid, post split the room / all still march to their death [6/6]
One hundred years from now / most will have met the King [6/6]
Day of the Lord is near / death or clouds show the King [6/6]

Turn from blood in your hand / turn from the lie you keep [6/6]
Guard each lamb from the wolf / stop feeding wolves with sheep [6/6]
Trust in the blood of Christ / He pulled lost souls from deep [6/6]
Rise when the Shepherd calls / He will not lose one sheep [6/6]

River runs from the throne / trees heal lands by the stream [6/6]
No blood stains the new streets / Lamb lights all with His beam [6/6]
Bones rise clothed in new flesh / saints wake out of the dream [6/6]
Bloody city is gone / Christ makes the whole world clean [6/6]

[OUTRO — PRAYER]

Lord, search blood in my heart / strip each wolf from my ways [6/6]
Teach me to guard the weak / keep me awake each day [6/6]
Wash me in blood You shed / write my name in Your grace [6/6]
Come, Shepherd, ride as King / make this dry world Your place [6/6]
