Prophets Unheard Lyrics by Virus Inc

Isaiah saw the throne
And trembled in the coal
Jeremiah bled the warning
In the mud of the pit
Ezekiel watched dry bones rise
Like verdicts in the dust
They carried a name unmade
Through teeth of stone and rust

They spoke of a Child
Wrapped in common breath
A branch from the stump
A light through the death
But the crowd turned blind
To the old road home
They heard the cry
Then forgot the tone

Messiah come
Messiah come
He was born to us

Messiah come
Messiah come
And still they looked away

Micah named the cradle
In a place of lowly grain
David sang the King would come
Through blood and through rain
Malachi burned the final line
Like iron in the sky
Yet pride sealed their eyelids shut
When the Holy walked nearby

He stood among them
Plain as a wound
Bread in His hands
And mercy unspooled
They saw the face
But not the sign
Their shepherd was there
And they called Him liars' kind

Messiah come
Messiah come
He was born to us

Messiah come
Messiah come
And still they looked away

Nails spoke louder than the scrolls
Wood and blood and breath
The promised Lamb was lifted high
To swallow every death
Now the veil is split
But hardened eyes still roam
They praise the prophecy
Then leave the Prophet alone

Blind mouths
Cold hearts
Old words
New scars
He came
He was slain
Salvation remains

Messiah come
Messiah come
He was born to us

Messiah come
Messiah come
And still they looked away

Messiah come
Messiah come
The stone was rolled in flame

Messiah come
Messiah come
Salvation calls your name
