lyrics

Will the wise answer with the East Wind?
With useless words
you’ve thrown away your holy fear
It’s your mouth that condemns
not I

What do you know that we do not know?
Where you the first born man?
Where you here before these hills?
What do you know that we do not know?
Is the comfort of God still not enough for You?
And why does your heart carry you away?

The wicked man writhes in pain
Numbered are his years
the sounds of terror are in his ears
He does not believe that he’ll return from dark
Distress and anguish have left their mark
for he stretched out his hand against his God

He has lived in desolate cities
In houses that no one calls home
They will be ruined
He’ll never be rich
His wealth will not last
By the breath of his mouth he goes away

Don’t let him trust in emptiness
for emptiness will be his reward
