Daniel in the lion's den, defending me just like his friends
Refusing idols, singing in the flames
Nebuchadnezzar couldn't understand the zeal with which these young boys sang
With joyful noise these boys declared my name
The boys declared my name
Courageous family of Maccabees, picking up a little Greek philosophy
The Jewish Hasmonean Dynasty...
But in the days without a prophecy, political machinery
Was all that's left, and they just couldn't see me
Yeah
Now in the days without a prophecy
Between the testaments, a history
Of zealots and centurions in a rage
The procurators and caesars' rings
Put false messiahs under puppet kings
The Roman occupation set the stage
Philosophy said we had a soul
The Underworld burned into "Sheol"
For those who don't make it to the bosom of Abraham
The Pharisees and the Sadducees argued over Moses and eternity
The Essenes washed, but they just couldn't see me
Yeah
Now in the days without a prophecy
Between the testaments a history
Of Zealots and centurions in a rage
The procurators and caesars' rings
Put false messiahs under puppet kings
The Roman occupation set the stage
In the days without a prophecy
Between the testaments a history
Of Zealots and centurions in a rage
The procurators and caesars' rings
Put false messiahs under puppet kings
The Roman occupation set the stage
The Roman occupation set the stage
The Roman occupation set the stage...
