lyrics

I first saw your face
on a billboard that read
“I’m coming to town
and I’d like you to join me.”

I’d never been saved,
so I made the decision
to visit the stage
you’d put up downtown.

I thought I’d be early
but the crowd had already
surrounded the gate
the night before.

There was some feedback
testing the P.A.
but the music erupted
in time to begin.

And you know what you have done...

Words of a prophet.
A message that’s not meant to be from you.
You praise their truth
and claim there’s proof,
but only for profit.
And so, to you “prophet”...

Yes I know what you have done!

“Thank you for coming”
came over the PA
from the mouth of the DJ
that introduced you.

Everyone there was
having a good time
awaiting the headline
they thought was the truth.

You came out slinging
your magical punchlines
that only made sense
to those who approve.

From where I was standing
your smile condescended
and your words told me nothing
‘bout nothing at all.

I
close my eyes.
As I
try to breathe
I feel
your lies
suffocate me.

I showed up to see you
and hear what you’d say
and stayed at the end
‘cause I wanted to meet you.

If anyone here today
was a believer
the words they received
they’ll hold in their heart.

But what were you saying?
I couldn’t quite make out
the gist of your message
between the applause.

What I was hearing
is not worth repeating,
‘cause what you kept saying
was nothing at all.

And you know what you have done...

Words of a prophet.
A message that’s not meant to be from you.
You praise their truth
and claim there’s proof,
but only for profit.
And so to you “prophet”...

Yes I know what you have done
